to kill Williams or injure Dyer. In fact
it appears undisputed that the de.
fendant was not even acquainted with
the deceased and had only a slight ac-
quaintance with Dyer, and that ac-
Quaintance entirely friendly. The
theory of the state. as we understand
it, was that the defendant killed Will
liams by mistake, thinking the latter
was one O'Brien, a man with whom
the defendant, Dwyer, had had trou-
Bile during the day over a prostitute.
Williams, deceased, was a young
man highly respected in the commu-
nifty, where he resided with his par
ents and a conductor on the railroad
running between Austin and Battle
Mountain, and was universally known
and Respected. Dyer, the wounded as
sociate of Williams, was at one time
county recorder and was universally
known throughout the county The
defendant had only been in Austin and
Ill. the county few days when the
homicide occurred. He was a gam
bier by occupation and was without
friends, and had but few acquain-
tances in the county where he was to
be tried for his life
The shooting down OF two promi-
nent citizens of Lander county with
out any apparent cause, by stranger
whose character was not the bessA
was something that would quite natur-
ally arouse public Indignation. Imme-
diately following the homicide it is
shown that threats of violence against
the defendant were made, some Oh
these threats being made by promi-
nent citizens, both at Austin and at
Battle Mountain, and the sheriff and
police officials of that county deemed

BURNS HERE
TOMORROW
Heavyweight Champion
and Company will
Present vaude-
vile Play

Tommy Burns, champion pugilist OF
the world, made his bow to Vallejo
last evening at the Farragut Theater
with a clever vaudeville show, which
is all his own, and which certainly
sustained the representation of his
press agent. For almost two hours
a crowded house was given one treat
after another until it would seem that
the best was being reserved for the
last Burns himself has a good stage
presence, just as light on his feet as
when in a regulation ring, and has
knack of putting his personality and
title in the background and winning
his audience on his own merits.
Moss, the eccentric juggler; Bruso,
the boy tenor; Cazarro, the equili-
brist. and O'Dell and Whiting in a
comedy sketch were all above the av-
age road show. The bag-punching OF
the champion was distinct feature
and the moving pictures OF the Burns
Sauires fight were away above par
and most interesting of the many seen
here.
The real salad dressing was the
three-round go between Burns and
William RAIDER, the seven-foot giant
OF the navy. The men mix it with
no gentle taps, although no bad feel
ing prevailed, and the comparative
sizes of the pair made Burns look like
a pigmy, although he is more than or
dinarily large. Previous to this ex
hibition mill Burns and Joe Willis OF
the Farragut Athletic Club went three
fast rounds, and the sports had am
pie opportunity of seeing the cham
pion in action. The show was clever
from beginning to end, and a secont
performance would be greeted by {
packed house-Vallejo Tribune.
The company will appear at the
Opera House in this city tomorrow
: Tuesday-evening.

Hamilton's Lead Production.

The old camp Of Hamilton enjoys n
distinction which has not been gener
ally credited to IT. During the last
three years government statistics have
borne out the fact that Hamilton has
produced more than half the lead out
put Of the entire state.
This remarkable record has been
made under uniavorable conditions,
In the first place, Hamilton is situated
fifty miles from a railroad, and il is
only possible for the mines to siip the
high grade, Leaving the poorer quality
on the dumps. Although that camp
has been III intermittent shipper for
the last twenty five years, practically
all the ore has been taken from tbs
surface, there beng no attempt mt deep
mining.
IL this White Pine distr ict possessed
railroad facilities, its ore tonnage would
be largely increased, and with the
advent OF u railrond numerous other
properties would be opened up. When
his stage in transportation has beer
reached, the shipments from that section
wOGld exceed those Of most camps in
