The attorneys for the Indian had at
the trial, when he was found guilty by

only raised the question of jurisdiction
and had not offered any other testi

murder of his wife he was laboring un-

into his wife IS breast. She had desert
ed him for another Indian and he
jumped onto a horse and made his way
to Alturas, California, where he was
captured and brought back.
He was tried and convicted by a jury
and sentenced by Judge Pike to be
hanged. His attorneys then appeale
to the supreme court, but the Judg
ment of the lower court was sustained
and the Indian was sent back to the
district court to be resentenced. Now

TORlCAL SOCIETY

Miss Jeanne Elizabeth Wier, secre-
tary of the Nevada State Historical
society and professor of history,
University of Nevada, paid Winnie
mucca visit Wednesday.
Miss Wier was on her homeward trip
to Reno, having visited Ely, Elko and
Wells. Her special mission was for the
purpose of securing old newspaper
tiles, from which she may gather data
for an epitome OF Nevada history,
which it is hoped may be published
within year. Upon its completion y
more extended history OF the state will
be undertaken, the preliminary WORK
for which will probably occupy several
years time.
While at Ely Miss Wier secured
from Mr.. Root a gem in the shape OF
a copy of the morning Gold Hill News
OF April Is, 1865, in an excellent state
of preservation, which contained'
among other news, full account OF
the assassination of President Lincoln
on the preceding evening.
Miss Wier left for Lovelock on No.
3 Wednesday evening, where she ex-
pected to remain for one day, reaching
Reno yesterday morning.

seem to be impressed with the idea
that it is the duty OF the railroads to
supply their needs in this respect, anu
am thoroughly impressed from my
acquaintance with the situation along
the various lines under my direction
that there is lack of business methods
by local coal dealers and the people
themselves in failing to place their
orders timely for an adequate supply to
meet the demands OF their local COM
munities. l desire to impress upon
you, and through you l hope impress
these communities, Of the necessity OF
their exercising reasonable foresight
in placing their orders for an adequate
supply.
On account of the coal strike in Wy
oming continuing through the month OF
August last and into the month OF
September, those mines have been un-
able to supply promptly since they
reopened, all the coal required in the
various localities supplied from those
sources.
Recently there has been some in
creased output from small mine ar
Coalville, Utah, 40 miles east Of Ogden.
Their facilities at that mine, however,
are not first-class, and they have not
the equipment for loading into box
l alx
that mine, however, is of good quality,
and the mine is able to supply promptly
a considerable supply OF coal, and for
this reason l wired you that coal
could be obtained at this mine.
You gentlemen will realize how
unpopular it would be, even though !:
railroad company had the legal
authority, to engage in supplying coal
in competition with dealers IN the
various localities; but it is a matter
beyond the power of these roads, legal
ly, to engage in that business, and they
have no disposition to do SO, bat on the
contrary it will afford me great pleas
ure to exert every effort to expedite
shipments ordered by the various deal
ers or private parties in these commun.
tiles, and | urge upon you the import
ance of having this impressed upon the
people, as we cannot guarantee to re-
lieve them in consequence of their own
inattention to the probable needs OF
their communities, and their tardiness
IN placing orders, and in omitting tx
place orders for sufficient amount /.

fiict with provisions of the law in act
