The matter was kept sub rosa up to

he would tell us something about the

Joe Smith and his connection with

Cowdery in the hope of making him
ridiculous before the court and jury.
Everybody present began to wonder
II they had been guilty of making such
mistake as choosing a Mormon for
prosecuting attorney. Even the judge
on the bench began looking with sus-
picion and distrust at the prosecuting
attorney The prisoner and his attor-
ney became elated at tho effect of the
speech. People began asking. Is he a

embraced the gospel and came to Utah.
Our heavenly Father never revealed
any keys or powers to administer to the
Prophet Joseph Smith when he was
alone. He always had witnesses.
When John the Baptist came,
there were Joseph and Oliver;
when Peter. James and John appeared,
there were these same two witnesses.
In Hebrew. Matthew and Corinthians we
learn that testimony must be out OF
the mouths of two CT three witnesses.
When the Lord has anything of impor-

HOLD-UP men TURN A
SLICK TRICK At The
LOVELOCK DEPOT

Last Sunday morning another dar-
ing robbery occurred In Lovelock.
Two masked men held up and rob-
bed the Southern Pacific depot, loot

and number of railroad tickets.
III. W. Stepnosk, night operator
atathe depot was afone at the time,
The only other occupants Of the
building being ]. r. McCrodan and
family IN the house rooms upstairs.
Two men with faces covered with
handkerchiefs with eye holes cut out,
entered the Office at the depot.
Stepnosk was seated at table in one
corner of the room, and when he
looked up there was revolver point.
ed at his head. "Open up here"
said one of the robbers, and Stepnosk
opened the door allowing them to
come inside.
One man covered Stepnosh while
the other rifled the ticket drawer.
There was in the drawer 500. as.
$50 90 had been left IN for change
and the ticket sales for the night
amounted to y4o.25. After securing
this money, the thieves were unsatis-
fed and demanded that the safe in
1.-The Office be opened. Stepnosk told
them he could not open 1t, and they
demanded that he take them to the
man who knew the combination.
This he said he could not do because
he did not know where he lived.
The robbers suddenly decided to
ger away, and taking Stepnosh with
them they left the depot and went up
to the far east end OF the yards.
Admonishing him to remain and
make no outcry for twenty minutes,
they slipped away in the darkness,
and Stepnosk returned to the depot.

Constable Wolf and railroad de-
tectives have been working on the
case and a few arrests have been
made. No incriminating evidence,
however, could be secured against
the suspects and they were turned
loose.

COLDBLOODED SHOOTING OF
PROMINENT OFFICER
AT NATIONAL
(From Humboldt Starr

District Attorney Ducker returned
last evening from National, where
he was summoned on account of
the murder of Deputy Sheriff ]. F.
Holmes by Riley Wooten. whi h
was committed last Saturday night.
The inquest was held Sunday
evening and Monday by Justice
Hayes. District Attorney Ducker
appearing in his official capacity.
The jury found verdict in affect
that Holmes was killed while in the
discharge of his official duties by
Wooten.
The story of the murder, as
brought out at the inquest, was
substantially the same as that pub
lished in Mondays issue of this
paper, the evidence tending to show
that it was coldblooded and with
out entenuating circumstances. The
rifle Wooten used belonged to Guy
Bishop and he later was with him
at the time he shot the officer.
They met Deputy Homes in front
of the National Hotel and passed
on. Then Wooten Started back and
the officer tried to take the rifle
away from him, when he fired.
The officer fired two shots as ne
fell but they went. wild.
Bishops story of the shooting
was that Holmes fired first, but
other witnesses contradicted him.
The evidence tended to show that
the killing was unprovoked and
doubtless premediated. The feeling
at National is said to be strong
against Wooten.
The funeral Of the murdered man
was held in Natioual Monday after
noon, under the auspices Of the
miners union, of which he was a
prominent member.

fLOWERY ELOQUENCE OF
PITTMAN AMUSES
HIS AUDIENCE

A crowd of over 500 people heard
Key Pittman, Chas. S. Sprague and
Denver S. Dickerson speak upon
political issues at Burk's Garden last
Monday evening. J. A. Callahan,
presided at the meeting, and the
following acted as vice. presidents:
B. L, Hood, ]. +. Goodin, Senator
l.. N. Carpenter, F. E. Baker and
w. G. Ruddell.
Governor Dickerson spoke first.
His address was brief, and he con-
fined himself to a short review of his
administration with an appeal for the
support of the people in the coming
campaign. Key Pittman followed
and spoke for an hour. Mr.. Pittman
| is a gifted orator, and used his ges.
lures to good advantage. A couple
of electric light wires, however, in
terfered with his hands, and when he
was in the act of rising to great elo-
quence, with hands pointed skywards
he had to extend his hand up one side
Of the wires, bring it down and then
put it up on the other side OF the
wires. While Mr.. Pittman's address
was eloquent it was not logical. He
reiterated his personal friendship
for Senator Nixon, and said that
personally Senator Nixon was all
right, but he painted him up in his
Aowery eloquence, as a man little
short Of an unhung criminal.
The stripping from Tonopah either
said or strongly intimated that of all
the evil fiends Senator Nixon was
the worst. He was traitor legis-
lative. pirate, and as far as lying to
the people of this state, his false
hoods were too numerous to mention.
Every act of the junior Senator from
Nevada according to the fowery
mouthed youth from 1onopah was a.
gainst the good people. Of Nevada
and in favor of harassing and oppres
sing them. All the good was in the
Democratic party, all the evil was in
the Republican ranks. He dug Sen.
ator Nixon's political grave, he play
ed the funeral march, he mourned
over the departed he sighed, he
cried over the misguided political
life of the dead, then raising to elo-
quent heights he said, "Ah! but am
here, look at me, send me, send me
to Washington, I'll make noise,
III fix the legislative pirates. I'll
show the United States, President
Taft, the foreign Ministers, the Sen
ators, the Congressman, what Nevada
is. I'll kill all tariff schedules, I'll
make things hum. Senator Nixon is
atool, puppet, farce. But l am
the simon pure lad, I'm free I'm
glad | am, I'm your man."
Mr.. Pittman mentioned the letter
of that sterling Democrat, John d.
Bradshaw, but he passed over the
subject lightly. John Bradshaw
/ meant we'll, but his understanding
was vague, the press reporters didn't
understand, nobody understood.
He was only making little speech
against &C railroad fare in Nevada.
He didn't tell about his mastery
plea, his strong plea, that the state of
Nevada leave the Southern Pacific
alone, and not attempt to regu-
late fares at all. He forgot the flow.
cry eloquence he used on the occasion
Of his toast to the welfare Of the
Southern Pacific and their great
benefaction to Nevada. He painted
the railroad at that time as pleasing
hue, as he painted Senator Nixon
dark hue on this occasion.
