ANOTHER CASE OF
 TOO MUCH JOHNSON

If all of the theories and clues which were supposed to lead to the capture of Lee H. Johnston, the carpenter, who on october 30. 1905, murdered his wife, Belle NJ. Johnston, and who in September, 1908, effected his escape from the steamer Victoria as she was banned out. the guilty man would un- doubtedly have been arrested and hung about fifteen times before this date, for Marshal Powell has received no less a number of tips concerning the where abouts of the escaped criminal, who most probably is now rotting at the bottom of the Boring sea.
 One of the most humorous tips was rendered the marshal by a local man, who really believed that he had the goods" on Johnston.
 Say, old man." he said to Marshal Powell, "rve got a pretty good idea about the location of this man John ston. Take it from me he is now up in the Alberta country farming-thats right.
 When Marshal Powell asked the earnest man where he obtained his valuable information, the fellow stalled around quite a while before answering

Nev. Weekly of November 19 last which ar rived in the last mail. the editorial speaks for itself and is as follows:

 The wonder is that with the exhaust less munitions at his command. fight ing against a man lured by his friends into the battle with no preparation, with no organization and little money, with no infiunece on his side except a just cause, who, from the moment his candidacy was announced. shared his own efforts on the stump with the state ticket. that Nixon won by such a smai majority.

that the disagreement was on the
degree of the crime.
Judge Avrill then told the jury

and such a verdict would not have
been receied by the court but that

to retire and study over the
matter again.
After the jury had left the
room, Attorney johnson took
exception to the judges instruc-
tions to the jury and the jurors
were recalled.
Judge Averill then requested
Mr.. johnson 40 make his objection

stated by Mr.. johnson, prompted
by Attorney King. This nettled
Judge Ayrill, and he wanted to
know r. King was an attorney
in the case. Mr.. King replied
that he had been employed by the
defendant about five minutes be-
lore. Judge Averill then stated
tnat ne would discharge the jury.

ana withdrew the objections.
Judge Averill then reconsidered

REPORTED INDIAN RAID

The Reno Journal publishes a
sensational account Of eighteen
heavily armed young Shoshone
Indians who have left the Duck
valley reservation with the avowed
intention of averaging the killing of
Indian Mikes muderous band at
Kelley Creek last FEBRUARY.
The Journals story contains
some truth, but in the. main it
seems to be built larely on the
imagination of the writer. Fridays
Gazette contains the following
account of the reported raid on
the dsfenseless whites by these
eighteen young Shoshone bucks:
Sheriff Ferrel this morning
received a telegram for A. L.
Doyle, stationed at Gerlach, that
IL young Indians had been seer at
Soldier Meadows and that all were
heavily armed. Further than this
the message stated nothing. II
did not state that the young
Indians intended to go on the war.
path or that they had threatened
to take any lives in revenge for
the killing of Indian Mike and his
band.
They may be simply out hunting.
but it is The belief of the officers
that if they. we're on a hunting trip
they would have their squaws and
children along with them and
would not remain so long at
Soldier Meadows.
The sheriff sta ties that he has
wired for further information con.
corning the Indian braves and that
he will consult with Commissioner
Perkins this afternoon in regard
to them. If the commissioner be-
lieves the expense warranted the
sheriff will go into the north and
will make the Indians return to
their reservation or will disarm
them. He says that If they are
rearlly out on search for vcnge-
ance it will be much better to
capture them and disarm them at
this time than to wait until they
have killed some one. He believes
though that there is little to fear
from them.
Inquiry at the state police head
quarters resulted in the statement
that the word had been received
By the police of the men being off
the reservation but that no call
had been made for assistance form
the people Of the section and
futher that no reports whatever
had been received of any overt
acts Of Indians.
