LANES IL. HOWARD.

The Evening Post has always be-
lieved that James b. Howard was
falsely accused of assassinating Goe-
bel
He was tried, convicted and SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for life. but
we have believed the verdict was due
to the fact that Howard had killed
the man who had killed his father
1t was a dark background, no doubt.
but it was not as black as the fore
ground where Tom Campbell stood
demanding a victim
The story as told by Youtsey is

The News Is hopeful that the de-
mails are true which have been en-
tered against report freely circulated
to effect that the special session of
the legislature will be used by poli-
ticians to further their own personal
ambitions. The political existence of
members of the legislature depends
on the sturdiness with which they at
tend strictly to the state business in
hand during the next week or two.

date. The water flow will probably
be about the same.
that the first man selected by Youtsey
to kill Goebel insisted on seeing Gov
ernor Taylor and getting personal
assurance of pardon. When the
governor refused to see bin, the
hired assassin, according to Youtsey,
refused to go on with the work. He
is dead and cannot contradict Yout-
sey.
Then Youtsey selected Jim How
ard, and Youtsey says Governor Tay-
lor dictated letter which Youtsey
sent to Howard Youtsey says How
ard came to Frankfort and presented
the letter to Youtsey
Youtsey asked Howard If he want
ed to see Governor Taylor. but How
ard said no. Then Howard was taken
by Youtsey to Powers Office. They
waited at the window until Senator
Goebel entered the yard of the state
house. Howard had never seen Yout-
sey; had never seen Goebel. Yet
Youtsey says he pointed ont Goebel
to Howard and Howard 3 minutes
after reaching Frankfort killed Goe-
bel, then disappeared.
When Howard learned he WAS
wanted. he voluntarily surrendered
and went to Frankfort to stand trial.
As result he is today in the peni-
Tertiary for life.
For moment putting aside the
case of Powers and bordering the
facts developed in three trials-the
trial of Youtsey, the trial of Howard
and this last trial of Powers and We
find in 1t nothing whatever implicat-
ing Howard save this inefeditable
story of Youtsey.
The stain of blood is no doubt on
this state and many guilty murderers
roam the world at will, free from ar
rest.

is manifestly innocent of the crime
charged. and whose innocence is
made clearer the closer wet get TO
the established facts of that great
tragedy. tKy.) Post.

SNOWFALL NOT SO GREAT
AS DURING LAST WINTER
Reports From Different Parts of State
Show Normal Winter Conditions
Indicate Very Satisfactory Situation.

The snowfall bulletin of the U. S.
department of agriculture for Nevada
section is new publication by the
government which is at hand from
Reno. The report says:
The amount of snowfall this sea-
son Is generally about equal to, or
less than, the average amount. This
is true in practically all districts
The amount. as compared with that
at the corresponding date of last
year, Is much less, there being only
a few stations which report it to lie
as great. Last year, however, the
fall of snow was unusually large A
considerable proportion of the precip-
itation has been in the form of rain.
This, together with the fact that the
temperature has generally been above
normal, has prevented the accumula-
ton of very large amounts. In the
Humboldt basin the snow averages
about two feet deep near the SUBMITS
of the mountains, and Is about the
same depth in the Walker and Reese
drainage areas. In the Truckee ba-
sin 1t is about five feet deep near the
mountain tops.
1t is q little too early to form a
reasonably reliable estimate of the
supply of water for the coming sea-
son.
CORRESPONDENTS REMARKS
Humboldt River Drainage.
Beowawe-The precipitation has
been more in the form of rain than
snow There is not so much snow on
the ground as there was last year at
the same time.
Charleston-The amount of snow
fall to date is quite up to the average
but is not as heavy as 1t was last win
ter. Judging from the present
amount, the water flow will not be as
large as it was last season
Halleck-The amount of snow is
40 per cent less than the amount to
the same date of last year. The sea-
son is late and most of that which
has fallen has melted. The flow of
water will be nearly as much as it
was last season.
Paradise Valley-There is very lit
tie difference between the amount of
snow this year and what it was last
year. The water flow will be about
the same.
Rebel Creek-The amount of snow
so far this season is about the same
as it was last year at the same date.
From present indications, the water
flow should be about the same.

dry, but the last two weeks have been

that his condition was not serious
The patient became worse during the
night and sank into Inconsistencies,
which he recovered at times only to-
suffer relapse. This continued for
about two hours before he died.
News of the death of Cleveland
came as sudden shock to the people
of Princeton as it did to the people OF
the rest of the world. It was not un-
til late in the day that messages Of
coincidence began to come from. all
parts of the world to the widow. One
of the first was from President
Roosevelt, who will attend the flu

Lockwood followed Bryant from New
York, and when he reached here DR..

evening the patient seemed to rally
