upon Frank M. Peart, who was
convicted on November 10th of the
murder of Frank Read, committed
in Mazuma on May 18th last. The

During the year just ended the

twelve month before and, SO say

Prices paid for cattle and sheep

of industry in tse state, says the
Reno Gazette.
The cattle shipped from Nevada
ranges this season are of splendid
weight, the excellent grazing of last
summer being supplemented by hay
of gilt-edged quality and heavy
yield.

snowfall on the mountains and rair
in the valleys will cause the wild
gras to grow luxuriantly and the
hay crop to be far above the aver
age.
From the present signs prices will

of the denial which he made today
of the irregularity in the manner
of their condemnations, Jose Santos
Zelaya, exhibited for the first time,
kilograms which he declared were
received from the American victims
of martial law. Zelaya's utterance
was in reply to the charges made
by President Madriz of Nicaragua,
that the executions were illegal, and
that the United States was justified
in its resentment of this action.
Both Cannon and Groce in the mes
sages to Zelaya, acknowledged their
guilt, and asked to be imprisoned
rather than executed, and offered
their services to his cause. The
messages were written in Spanish.
Groce appealed to Zelaya as a Ma
son.

Phil NJ GRATH
CALLS OUT The
STATE POLICE

Deputy Treasurer Phil McGrath
caused little excitement around
the capitol yesterday by stepping on
one of the alarm switches in the
treasurer's office. The big gong
changed in the sheriffs Office and
the bells around the capitol Office
commenced their changing. Captain
Cox was in the Office of the gov
ernor and made a run for the
Office of the treasurer, unloosening
some of his cannon as he ran. Sher-
iff Regan came across from his Of
flee with determination written all
over him and every pocket was
bulging with blued steel. Clerk
Dickerson forgot his hat as
he ran into the hallway and Jake
Eggers let his cigar go out while
he bolted the doors, cutting off the

tenance when the crowd came run

or to satisfy political purposes. y
Mccarthy reported the campaign
phase that this is "city for pleas
ure lovers and pleasure seekers -
and asserted that the ordinances
should be amended so mot only
those engaged in legitimate pur-
suits should have reasonable liber-
ties, and freedom of action, but
those who seek the city for pleasure
which it may afford, should be
guaranteed safe conduct and per-
sonal protection while. they are our
guests"
Mccarthy thinks the Chinese pop
ulation is valuable asset to San
Francisco. In his message he made
a plea for the restoration of the
Chinese quarter as it was before
the fire, pointing out that the Chi
nese were among the largest GUS
toners of the white merchants and
their import, export and local trade
was of vast import to the city. The
mayor says he proposed to Offer
every inducement to bring the Chi
nese back from the trans-bay and
other California cities and permit
them as much enjoyment as Others
enjoy without discrimination.
