Situation in Goldfcld.
Word received from Goldield
early this morning, says that that
city has Quilted down. The people
now demand that a speedy trial be
given the prisoner. The judge has
said that he will at once call the
grand jury. The prisoner will be
taken back to the southern city as
as it is deemed advisable.
Aftermath Of the Crime.
Yesterday afternoon the home Of
the Heslips was looted and every
thing of value stolen. It is gener-
ally believed that an organized gang
Of cut-throats and thieves are oper-
ating in the southern camp. The
officers will use every erdeayor to
apprehend the persons guilty of the
robbery of the house. If found, it
is feared that they will be summar-
lily dealt with.
Mrs. Mann Very Low.
Mrs. Alice Mann is in a very
critical stage. 1t is feared that her
days on earth are very, very few.
A futile effort has been made to To-
cate her husband who is in San
Francisco.
Deputy Sheriff Catalan states
that Casey undoubtedly tried to kill
himself. The prisoner has a deep
scalp wound which required the
services of a physician. 1t is re-
lated that when he was being taken
to the Jail in Goldield, Casey con-
yeyed the information that he had
tried to get himself. He asked the
deputy for a gun with which he
might finish the job.
