Want a POst0ffice

There is a movement on foot to es-
tablish postoffice in the neighborhood
halfway between Fallon and Saltwater,
at the residence of Fulton H. Sears.
This would be great advantage to the
homesteaders in that locality, as the
stage line between here and Saltwater
operates every day and there would be
no more expense incurred in the es-
tablishmsnt of such an Office.
j. 7. Simmons, the driver Of this
stage line, is required to get the mail
for all the homesteaders along his route
and deliver it separately to them, and
if this Office is established the mail will
all be taken to this one place and dis
tributed, and the people who live off
the stage route but in that community y
will benefit in the event of an Office
being established in that neighborhood.
At the present time all parties living
off the route are obliged to come 10
Fallon for their mail.
A name for this Office has not been
decided upon by the people of the dis
trict. but as soon as the place has been
secured an Appropriate one will be
given it.

INDIAN TO Be HANGED
Judge Pike Sets Nov. l3, as the
Date for the Execution
of Buckaroo Jack.

Buckaroo Jack, Indian murderer aud
now incarct ated at the state prison
here, has been sentenced to hang at
the state prison On November 18th for
the killing of his wife n .ar McDer-
mitt's station Humboldt county. The
Indian was not taken to Wnnemucca
for re-sentence owing to the fact thai
tn laws of Nevada provide thai when
man is re-sentenced it is not neces-
sary for m TO be arraigned in court at
the time. The Indian was ounGguilfy
of murder and senilrcee 10 ie hanged,
He appealed to the supreme coaF,
but that tribunal affirmed the decision
of the lower court and he must now
swing unless the board of pardons in
tervenes, which is not likely.
The crime for which the murderer
must pay the extreme penalty was one
Of peculiar atrecity, according to the
evidences, although the Indian tells a
different story. On the night Of APP
Ri 10th, 1908, Bucksroo Jack followed
his wife TO the house of Ok Sam, near
the old post at McDeriniit. The poor
woman had fed there IN company with
a little girl to esespe the fury of her
savage husband. He stealthily entered
the room where his wife was with a
number of her people and barred he
door toprevent her escape. The hunt
ed creature retreated across the room
and then realizing that death was near
turned and faced her armed husband.
Buekaroo Jack took deliberate aim
at her with a .33-calibre Winchester
rife and shot her through the heart,
killing her instantly The murderer
Immediately left the house and fled the
country and he was afterward cap
tured near Alturas, California. He
was tried for the crime. The jury re-
turned verdict of murder in the first
degree and fixed the penalty at death.

or laburer, can find any fault with the
principle OF the Police bill. There has
.,een no man denied his rights, no
inner or working man has been depoit-
cd and no disgrace has come to Nevada
like 1t did to Colorado.
