Horse Finds Fugitive

Through the sagacity of horse
George James, a thirteen-ycar prisoner
from Humboldt county and regarded as
one of the most dangerous criminals
at the state prison, WAS lpcated yes
terday afternoon after making Il sue
ccssful escape. The break by james
was one of the most di:.lE ever made
from the state prison. His liberty was
short lived, however.
He WAS working with other convictS
and also Il number of other men on the
new cell rooms and was in front of the
prison when fellow named Berry,
trusty, rode along on Il horse. james
grabbed Berry and gave him Il hard
cuff and then leaped onto the back of
the horse and started the animal on a
hard run away from the prison. War

within ten feet of the man when he
made the attack on the trusty and leap

running into the Sagebrush. Guard
Haslctt WAS following the man on Il
horse but when he reached the point
where James had deserted his horse he
left his own animal and took that de-
serted by the fugitive. The animal ap-
pcarcd to know what was expected of
him and he began making IA straight
dash through the sagebruSh snorting
and plunging. Finally he came To Il
clump and stopped. Haslctt was unable
to see anything of James hut called out

the fall, the edge of n sharp rock still
sticking into his face when the rescucrs
picked him up. He was scratched in
numerous places, but the bruises were
undoubtedly made by coming in contact
with sagebrush and other stubby
growth. In many places where his
footsteps were followed he had pushed
his way through sagebrush at times

the boy.
The distance covered by the boy in
his journey was over thirty miles. the
body was brought to the Sheriff's Office

for burial and last evening shipped to

Wonderful Is Gold Circle

Sheriff Sweeney is evidently aspiring
to the presidency of the Ananias Club,
Judging from little incident that took
place few evenings since in one of the
saloons on Main street lie was cxtoll-
ing the greatness and richness of the
new campof Gold Circle III Elko county,
in which district he is owner in Il num-
her of claims. His listeners seemed to he
quite interested in what he was ladling
out to them regarding that section, but
one of his hearers. IL young man from the
country, was particularly attentive to
all he said.
After the sheriff had concluded his
praises about the mineral wealth of Gold
Circle, he branchcd off regarding its
stock raising qualities. and stated that
they raised mules there rs large us clc
plants.
The young man referred to above. who
pridcs himself on being Il very good fish
crman and has caught some pretty good
sized members Of the finny tribe, asked
him about the fishing there and how big
WAS the fish usually caught.
We'll" said Sweeney, ~ guess it is
the most wonderful fishing grounds in
the world. You don't need any bait ut
all; you just cast the bare hook and line
in the stream and you can catch mess
of trout in short order"

"Ahyi;. as big as horse" said Swcc.

Murder in The First degree

At 10 o'clock this forenoon, Judge
Brown rendered his decision in the case
of the state VS.. George Il. Dove. After
reciting the facts of the indictment, the
defendants plea of guilty and his trial
to determine the degree of the crime;
Judge Brown reviewed the evidence as
to generalization and deliberation and
held that those essential clements of

up the statute making murder COM

that the evidence showed to his mind
that the murder was committed by
Dove i'll an attempt To rob Bean, and
was, therefore, murder of the first de-
gree.
Judge Brown next took up the penalty
and under the discretion given him by
the act of the last legislature fixed the
penalty at Imprisonment for life.
The defendant through his counsel
waived time and asked that sentence

Dove seemed to take Judge Browns
verdict coolly, and, as court was about

deceived by any such clap,trap. They
must take into consideration the diff

now.
The Presidential election of 1892 was
preceded in 1890 and 1891 by pretty
general Democratic sweep of the coun-
try. The National House of Repre-
sentatives elected in 1890 contained
$50 Democrats and but So Republicans,

Two years ago the Republicans elect.
ed 220 members of the House aud the
Democrats l66. while four were classed
as independents. This, compared with
the result preceding the election of
1892, is significant. Ii is enough to
point the way TO Republican success
this year.
In 1890 such States as Connecticut,
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Nebraska,
Oregon, West Virginia, Wisconsin and
even Pennsylvania elected Democratic
State officials. In the following year,
1891, New York aud Iowa elected Dem.
ocratie Governors. In 1890, the Repub.
llcan pluralltles were greatly reduced
in Kansas, Minnesota and many other
usually strong Republican States.
Some barely saved themselves. In
New Hampshire, for instance, the Re
publican plurality amounted to but SO.
Contrast these results with two years
ago, when Connecticut went Republi-
can by 900; Illinois, by l4J, 800; In
diana, by 81, 800; Michigan, by " 800;
Nebraska. by "A 600; and Wisconsin by

States that had gone Democratic in
