INDIAN PAYS Ex-
IRENE PENALTY

Charles Kaiser, the Indian sentenced
to die for the murder Of mis- wife in
Gardnerville some months ago, was yes
terday morning at IL O'Clock executed
by Warden Maxwell in the Nevada
penitentiary before tnirty-eight official
witnesses, invited to be present in ac-
cordance with the law. The hanging
was complete success, every detail
being carried out by the warden, just
as he had arranged.
The unfortunate Indian sobbed all
the way from the condemned cell to the
gallows and as the mask was placed
over his head he began to moan. For
this reason he was given no time to
make statement, for fear he would
break down.
Kaiser was sentenced for killing his
wife on the principal street Of Gardn-
erville, because she had remained away
from home all night. He shot her in
the presence of number Of other In
dians and some white people and then
fed to the hills, leaving her bleeding
body on the street.
{ He was followed by posse, captured
and taken to Dayton, where, after q
trial, he was sentenced to be hanged.
While awaiting sentence in the Dayton
Jail he escaped and fed into the hills,
but was again captured and taken back
to Dayton, where he received his SEN
tence. He was then taken to the Ne
vada penitentiary. He spent ten days
in the condemned cell under guard of
the death watch before he was exc
cuted.

We, the jury in the aboye-entitled
case, find the defendant, Bernard Clark,
guilty of murder in the second degree" +"
These words, read by Cleark Trous-
dale, brought to close one Of the most
stubbornly fought murder cases in the
history of the state
Sitting beside his counsel, the de-
fendant showed not trace Of emo
tion as the fateful words which con-
demned him to felon's cell fell from
the lips of the court official. Having
listened to all the evidence given dur
ing the long and tedious trial, it is
possible that the verdict was more
favorable than he had anticipated
Judge Pike briefly thanked the jury
for their faithful performance of try
ing duty and excused them from fur
ther service during the term.
Attorney McCarron gave formal mo-
tice that he should make motion for
new trial, and Judge Pike named
Saturday, May 80, as the day for hear
ing the motion and passing sentence.
In this state the penalty for second de-
gree murder is Imprisonment from 10
years to life.
The trial of Clark finishes, for the
present, the prosecution for the muir
der of Sol Hendra, at Chafey, last De-
cember. The evidence went to show
that Sol Hendra and A. M. Williams,

A GOOD MINING OPPORTUNITY

A company Of mining men, with some
capital, can secure a good lease, or lease
and bond, on group of mining claims,
consisting Of five claims, all surveyed,
blacksmith shop, tools, etc., ready for
working. All that is necessary Is brains
and some capital for development pur-
poses.
The company is organized, and
stock ready for issuing. It is very sell
dom an opportunity Of this kind is on
the market, as these claims possess
good ores-gold, silver and lead, and
are located just above the new West
ern Pacific railroad, as well as the
Southern Pacific railroad is only short
distance, making transportation of ores
to the reduction plants and smelters
very reasonable.
A new gold strike has been made in
the double compartment shaft of it's
neighbor. For examination of ores
and full information regarding leases,
bond and terms, call on the under
signed, 1t will pay parties who mean
business to look into this matter at
once.

MIR Murdoch /; mighty well pleas
ed with his big investment in land III

for farming in the hills. He also has
faith that the North country will be
served with a railroad in a compare
lively short time. In addition TO the
published intentions of the North
Coast. backed by the final location
survey work there is unmtstakeaOIe
evidence that there is something do
ing up the Grinde Rolde. Timber
crui sers have been cruising all the

ed, and the iden i,y of the employer
Of the cruisers is unknown, there

and other reasons are back of the
persistent runners that the o. r. &

Mr.. Murdoch has backed up this faith
by other purchases up north until

Will Hold Meeting To Consider
Project of Bridge Across

The county court will hold a meet
ing at Troy, Saturday. October 8, at
10 a. m. and all residents OF that
vicinity or others interested In the
building of bridge across the Grande
Ronde river at or near Troy are
invited to be present.
This general invitation Of the court
ought to result in the biggest gather
ing ever in the North country, II the
people came out in proportion to
the need for bridge.
The Grouse, Troy and Eden coun-
try Il among the most fertile In ne
Inland Empire. and while there are
many fine ranches there now, If 1t
had transportation facilities 1t would
become in few years the most thick
" se5tlad part of the county. But
even with bridge the change will
be marked, for at present the Set
tiers depend for al communication
wi h the rest of the county upon a
ferry that proved so uncertain last
winter that the people received only
three mails in a month.
The bridge Is not only public
necessity. but woll1 be a good IN
vestment as ii is admitted that the
increase in assessed valuation would
pay the county for its expenditure
in a few years.
A representative of a steel bridge
company was here last week, con-
ferr.ng with the court.
