Tierney who put up wonderful fight
their own way if a prison delivery
had Len their intention. To the
right of the chair which was occupied
by Tierney is the main door leading
into the prison and into the yard
where the prisoners are confined. The
key is kept in the lock nthe guard
room side and all that would have
been necessary would have been TO
turn the key, open the door, yell TO
the pris N1ers in the yard and they
could have swarmed through the
guard room TO the outside without
any resistance whatever from the
armed guards who are stationed on
the back wall overlooking the yard
at that time of the day.
All three OF the men were we'll
aware OF this fact and If they had
intended to open the prison they
would not have left a chance Of the
kind slip by.
Even without the guns and amuni
ton III the arsenal many of them
could have made a successful get-a-
way had the whole bunch been let
! loose in the open country.
The story of the two men coming
from Reno and planting two guns in
the yard and that Watson and
Forest were armed with them is Civ
en- little credence today. 1t is not
believed that either OF the men out
side of Edwards were armed and a.
yet no guns belonging to them have
been found. All three were desperate
criminals and would not have sur
rendered the way they did ii they hac
been AIMED According to the story
! today Edwards asked Forest for the
| gun the latter had taken from Tier
| ney with the statement that he would
1 kill himself before he would be re
/ turned to the prison. Forest gave III
the gun and the same was found il
/ the hand of the dead convict Edward:
after he had sent a bullet crashin:

Say We Are
Knockers

The Reno Journal tells story
about a Carson .wiseacre" who visit
ed Virginia City last week and III
srructed the people OF that place not
10 take Reno ,learing House certifi-
Gates, as they are phoney. In conse-
Guence of the information a Comstock
lady arrived in the Riverside town
Saturday with her satchel filled with
silver of all denominations so that
she would not be compelled to take
these certificates in change, she being
or purchasing expedition.
Wesnaturally suppose that the mer-
chants of thst city were insulted be-
cause the lady had the coin as that
necessary article is SO very plentiful
in that city at The present time that
they have been compelled to issue 81
and 81 certificates in order to make
change Instead of being pleased tt
get the coin the Journal blames the
whole deal onto a Carsonite whom
they claim is knocker. They fur
thermore tell their readers that thei
certificates over there are the onl,
kind as the San Francisco certificates
are being counterfeited and you cal
never tell whether you are getting ;
good one or not. Well. that may al
be. but we will take our chance witt
he latter for we know they are leSa
ized in California and will be redeem
able some day. The Reno paper i
issued contrary to the Constitution Q
the State of Nevada and from leSa
standpoint are just about as good
is & check on the State Bank & Trus
Company at the present time.

Two chambers of the gun were en-
PITY. According TO guard at the
prison one shot was fired during the
scuffle in the guard room when Tier
ney made his fight to retain his gun
the bullet plowing hole in the floor
of the room The other shot Edwards
had used on himself and both are,
thereby explained
While Edwards was known to be
desperate man his actions of yester-
dav show that he did not desire to
kill anyone He simply dld not want
to be returned to the prison and face
the long sentence before him and he

prison with bread and water menu

TO come. 1t is reported today that
the grand jury of this county will be

The break OF yesterday which might
| have cost the lives of many innocent
men should act as lesson TO the men
in charge of this state institution
! At the present time it is we'll filed
with many Of the toughest criminals
in the country: men who have served

WASHOE
TO OPPOSE
Special Session, Huskey
Saws Conditions There
Are O. K.

RENO. Nov 15.-The matter of
calling a special session OF the Leg
islature' is being freely discussed in
this city today and many opinions
are being expressed. semDlyman
Hushey of Washoe County received a
copy of the request from Governor
Sparks asking TO ascertain the sen
timents of the people Of his county
and today was busy looking up the sit
uation and getting opinions from the
people here. In an interview this af-
ternoon he had the following to say:
The people of this city and coun
tv seem to be Of the opinion that
special session Of the legislature is
uncalled for. No good can be ac
complished in regard to the present
financial condition as the money laws
are not under control of the state
government. The only good that could
be accomplished is in the extending of
the time for the payment of taxes.
In regard to the latter Washoe
county will not need any extension
of time as the county officials includ-
ing the tax collector arr taking clear
ing house certificates Oh the local
banks for ali Indebtedness to the
county and The taxes are being paid
the same as in previous years
In my opinion the people Of this
city and county will not support the
present movement on foot"
Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1907-11-19

The above from Assemblyman Hus-
key may express the sentiments Of
Reno and Washoe county but we
doubt that the other counties will fall
in line with them. The fact that the
tax collector of that county will ac-
cept illegal currency for the taxes
and hold his bondsmen responsible to
the state for its share of the taxes
sign that the tax question is not
serious one throughout the state
In this county as in number of
others where coin must be paid for
| the settlement of the taxes the money
is coming in very slowly. In this
county about a third of the amount
due has been paid and but bare two
weeks remains in which to collect
the rest. Most of the tax payers who
have the money have met their yearly
obligation to the county and state
and with the banks still closed
number of the remaing ones to settle
are wondering where their money is
coming from to meet the necessary oh
/ legation.
The people of the southern mining
camps are advocating the. question
in strong terms and the press of the
eastern part of the state is falling in
line and it is almost certainty that
the General demand for the special
! sessio will be SO great that Governor
Sparks wifi issue the necessary proc
! lamatiOn.
