Other Rewards Named

On being asked what steps tho
State of Nevada would take in regard
to Offering rewards for the capturing
OF the murdcrers OF the four sheep
men who were murdered by cattle
rustlcrs. Governor Oddie made the
following statement:
'Tkr State will offer as big re
ward as possible. | hope to make the
reward five thousand dollars. To
my thinking it is not so much who
was killed as the fact that wanton
murder was done. | believe that Ne
vala should exert every effort to rid
the State of the murdercrs and | hope
by offering the reward to secure
their capture. Sheepmen and cattle
men must have the protection OF the
State and only can have it by law and
order ! realize that the murderers
have long head start on the State
Police and other officers By set
ting a reward for the murderers other
the men who committed the terrible
crime
1T is the general belief that the
men after committing the murder
took the fresh horses and have gone
either to Oregon or Idaho. I he
posse now in pursuit will do all Ill
their power to locate the outlaws: !
hope to have the proclamation offer
Every citizen should lend their as
sistance in running the outlaws to
cover 1t is one OF the most terrible
crimes that this State has Witnessed
given in order to help justice.
