New Trial Granted Dwyer,
Murderer.

To Il ma broken in health and
spirit, who hta cehselessly paced the
length of II condemned cell Mt the
State Prison for several days and
nights, the news came Monday after
noon that the Supreme Court of the
State had granted him a new trial
and II change of venue When the
news was told Patrick Dwyer Monday
that the Supreme Court had given
him another lease of life, he was al
most overcome. For the past several
days the decision has been expected
aud Dwyer has been spending most of
his time pacing about his narrow cell
in the condemned ward. Time after
time he telephoned for his local at
torney to visit the prison a. he want
ed to ascertain If the decision was not
ready, when it finally reached him
Dryer was practically ON his last feet
physically
The Supreme Court not only gave
Dryer n new trial but also directed
that the Lander District Court grant
the defendant II change Of venue from
that court to some other county. 1t
was upon the question OF ID that
the Supreme Court based its decision,
granting a new trial, etc.
Dwyer is a Manhattan gambler and
during July, 1906, landed at Austin,
Lander county, half-drpnken and full
of trouble. Several days later he had
trouble witha gambler named O'Brien
and when the two separated it was
with the understanding that when
next they met it would he to shoot.
Later Dryer mistook A. C. Williams
and County Recorder Dyer for O'Brien
aud opening fire on the pair killed
Williams and permanently injured
Dyer. He was arrested, thrown into
iail and for n time it was feared that
Ia moD would take his life.
When finally arraignei for trial
great difficulty was encountered in Sc
curing a jury. Almost six weeks were
required TO secure a jury and prac.
tically every eligible man in the

defense made motions for a change OF
v~nue to another county OH account
OF the pronounced prejudice express
ed in the case 10y the people of Lander
but the court refused to grant the
motions. Dryers defense in the case
Was that he WAS suffering from alco-
holic insanity.
A jury was finally secured and af-
ter a lengthy trial Dwyer was con-
victed and sentenced to be hanged,
From this decision he appealed large

grant II change of venue when it was
apparent the prejudice of the com

tions and all concur that a great
mine will be found when sufficient
depth has been attained. Another
ledge has been opened up by Henry
Patton which is three feet or more
and still widening with depth which
assays 1874 in gold and several ounces
in silver. MI. Patton, the discoverer,
received the returns a few days ago
from an assay which was taken pro.
miscuously from the ore of the orr
ginal discovery which assays 1925 in
gold. As the work progresses on the
property the lodges are increasing in
width and at this time it cannot be
determined how wide the lodges are.
The location OF the strike is II
choice one, right in the heart of a
rich mineralized zone, and only about
a mile and a half from the Willow
Greek ranch where there is an abund-
ance of water and vegetation which
makes it an ideal spot for the our
poses of mining.
Messrs. Christensen and Tardy are
developing ground which they have
only a short distance from the origi-
nal discovery and are said to have n
good showing, some of the rock from
the ledge showing free gold.
The formation OF this mineral zone
is quartzite, granite and porphyry,
and In many places hematite shows
up in large quantities.

One encouraging evidence of the
rapid upward movement Of mining in
this section is the fact that almost
every day brings some new mining
men into town. This district is un-
dergoing scrutinizing examination by
men representing much capital and
in some casts are getting on to some
good things. Those who have had
their eyes on this district for SO long
laying for opportunities failed to see
through the mist OF obstacles which
has lowered around here SO denseiy
for several years and it is raising un-
observed by a great many, and further
more it will continue to raise. A
new dawn is on and it is brought
about by home grit, energy and prac-
tical experience demonstrated to the
world our mineral by past
outputs. Without a doubt wisdom
and courage backed up by capital will
in the very near future set the pace
for a successful destiny in one of the
best and bigges: mining districts in
the west. What already has been
done and what is going to be done in
the future is attracting the attention
Of the best class of investors IN the
market and the result will lie a boun-
tiful one for this section and the
State at large.
