TWO YOUNG MEN ARE
ARRESTEDFORHOLDUP
Confesses to Crime And the Off
cials are in a Quandry What
to do With Them

Saturday evening Frank Crow and
Arthur Latourneau, two boys of this
city both sixteen years of age were
arrested by the officers for the hold
up of Will Van Heuit on Friday night
at the corner of the Geo. Cowing resi-
dence. When placed in the County
Jail both of the young men confessed
to doing the. job and are now being
held in the local Jail awaiting the
action of the authorities.
The boys were questioned by Dis
trict Attorney Roberts and Deputy
Sheriff Knoblock in regard to their
crime and told a straight story of the
affair They had intended to hold-up
several people, and their first victim
was to have been Chinaman. They
did not make connections however,
and the same thing occurred when
they endeavored to hold up two China
men few minutes later in the Capt.
tol square, Later they decided on
holding up Mr.. Bessey who works

Friends Scuffle;;
One is Killed

Edward Vincent of Grass Valley and
Dan Kripp, another young man, at Nc
Kinney's on Lake Tahoe were having
friendly scuffle last Thursday at
that place when suddenly Vincent fell
dead. .
Detailed information regarding the
actual cause of the young mans death
is lacking. He seemed to, be in the
best of health and had no heart trou-
BILE. There is said to be certain air
of mystery surrounding the occur
renee. a
Vincent was carpenter. 1S years
of age, and had been working at Nc
Kinney's about two months past. His
parents reside in Nevada City. The
question as to whether violence was
responsible for the death OF Vincent
is, being investigated. Nothing is
known of Kripp.

breathing when he was picked up and
was rushed to the surface as quickly
as possible, but died before he re-
gained consciousness. The mules
were dead when they were found.
Miners and men who work at the
tunnel know that bad air is encoun-
tered in the tunnel very frequently.
1t is said to escape into the tunnel
from drifts and Slopes in the mines.
but it generally is waited up through
the shafts instead of settling down in
the tunnel. The theory is that a
body of foul air settled in the tunnel
long enough to asphyxiate Puccinelli
and that a draft started, dispensing
and removing the air before the res
cue party reached him.
With the bad air is the intense heat
and the combination of the two, it is
believed is what caused the death OF
the man and his animals. The tun-
mel is kept in reasonably good repair
and it has been long time since ac-
cidents of any kind have occurred in

Half mile beneath the surface,

usual and the rescue party had little

GIVEN NEW TRIAL

On last Saturday afternoon the
Supreme Court of the State handed
down a decision in the Gibson case
granting the convicted man a new
trial. ....-.
Gibson was deputy sheriff at Gold
field and was convicted of the murder
of mining man by the name of Mum
sell there in August 1907.
At the time of the trial of Gibson
one of the witnesses for the State
who had testified at the preliminary
hearing could no be located and the
testimony given at the hearing was
admitted in evidence. 1t was on this
point that the attorneys for the de-
fense applied for a new trial and on
which the same was : santed, the Su
preme Court deciding that the state
ment was not admissible as evidence

in the land office but this they also
passed up. Later they saw Van
Heuit leave the dance hall and follow
ing him held him up as reported in
Fridays paper. Neither one of Xle
young men protected the other in their
confessions and seem to take the mat
ter as somewhat of a joke.
What is to be done with them is
the question that the officers are
working on. If convicted of the crime
which they certainly would be if their
cases came to trial, five years in
the penitentiary would be the mini
mum sentence they could receive. The
officers are not aesirous OF seeing
them placed with the hundred of hard
ened criminals at the State Prison but
outside of this institution the state
provides for no oher place of cor
rection or punishment.
They will be held in the local Jail
until the officers decided on what
course OF action to persue.

STATE Will AID In
BANK PROSECUTIONS
Governor Dickerson Instructs At
torney General to Start In
veStigation at Once

District Attorney +. T.. Roberts OF
this city has taken the prosecution
of the officials of the State Bank and
Trust Company up with the State Off
cials and In communication to them
asks the aid of the State government
In bringing the guilty ones, II any
exist, to the bar of justice.
Todate the bulk of the work in re-
gard to the prosecution has fallen on
the shoulders of the District Attorney
of this county and in the counties
where most OF the charges against
the officials had their origin and
where the facts In the case exist there
has been practically no investigations
Of any merit and for this reason the
District Attorney has called upon the
Governor to see that the officials in
these other counties get busy In the
matter and that investigations along
these lines lie taken up in proper
manner.
From the report of Receiver Wildes
II is evident that the largest part OF
the mlsmanagement of the institution
occurred in the banks OF Nye and Es-
meralda counties and it is in these
places that the evidence desired by
the prosecution can be secured.
AS can be seen by the following
communications that have passed be-
tween District Attorney Roberts and
the Governor the latter has willingly
consented to take the matter up and
has placed the handling of it in the
hands of the attorney General who,
under an act passed by the last legis-
lature has the power and authority to
order that Investigations be held in
any county where crime is known TO
pxist and under an order from him
The District Attorneys must get busy.
Following are the communications
Al the case yer batim:
Carson City, New, July 20, 1908.
Hon. ID. s. Dickerson,
Lieutenant and Acting
Governor of Nevada.
Dear Sir:-The investigation OF the
Ormsby County grand jury into the
affairs of the State Bank and Trust
company during the past few months
reveals rotten" condition in the
management of the branches at
Tonopah and Goldfeld. and in my
judgement is of such moment as to

call for most rigid examination on
the part of the proper authorities
both county and state. A careful
persual of the reports of Receiver F.
l.. Wildes and the chairman of the
late so-called rehabilitating commit
tee shows the needs of such an in
vestigation. 1t will take time and it
will cost money but the light should
be turned on 1t is to be hoped
the examination will be thorough and
no white wash" used. Criminality
on the part of other prominent men
not yet indicted is clearly manifest.
Very truly yours,
E. f. ROBERTS,
District Attorney.
The following reply was received
from the governor which clearly out
lines his attitude on the question and
also what action he has taken in the
matter
Hon. f. z. Roberts,
District Attorney, Ormsby County,
Carson City, Nevada.
Dear Sir:-T beg to acknowledge
receipt of your communication of
July 29th calling my attention to dis
closures made by the investigation
of the Ormsby County grand jury
into the State Bank and Trust COM
pans affairs, showing a deplorable
condition in the management OF that
institution and criminal liability of
some of it's officers not yet indicted
by grand juries. l have this day re-
General of Nevada with instructions
that he exhaust every resource of his
office to bring every officer in any
way implicated in the wrecking OF
that institution to the bar of justice.
| oeg to assure you to the hearty
co-operaion of this administration in
your efforts to land behind prison
bars all persons guilty of violating
the laws of this state. The good
name of Nevada demands the fullest
and most searching investigation into
the affairs OF the State Bank and
Trust Company and you will md no
effort on the part of the administra-
tion to "whitewash," regardless of
whom the criminal may be.
Very sincerely yours,
d. S. DICKERSON,
Lieutenant and Acting Governor.

With one last despairing shrek,

cloud-burst is a rare thing in the

any serious damage would ensue. The
canyon is a narrow one with sides

collect a down-pour from the clouds
and hurl it down to the plains be-

The people at the camp were rest

PiXley, with her friend the school
teacher, Miss ODE Souchereau, were
in the Office cabin and four men were
standing nearby. An unusual sound
impelled Miss Pixley to go to the door
1t was the shrill, shreking call, now
and then punctuated by a deeper note.
She spoke hurriedly to Miss Souche
reau and with the men they stood
in moment outside the cabin, just
as a wall of water, on whose crest
great logs tossed in frenzied dance
of death, bore down upon them, grasp
ing them al in it's clutch, together
with the cabin, which was wrecked in
an instant. The men managed to get
the young women to trees, but Miss
