Reward Law
Passed Today

Yesterday the Senate took up bill
that had been asked for by Governor
Oddie, and passed it. The bill pro-
vided that the Governor might issue
a reward of five thousand dollars for
the capture of the band OF murderers
who killed the four sheep men in
Washoe County
This morning the bill was taken up
in the Assembly Realizing the ne
cessity of the measure the Assembly,
men got down to work in very short
order, acted on the bill and inside OF
twenty mitutes it had passed. 1t will
be signed by the Governor before the
day is over and become law
This will be one OF the heaviest re-
wards ever offered in this state for
crime and should result in hunting
down the parties who are so badly
wanted by the state officials. 1t is at
any rate move in the right direc
ton.

is Improving

The condition of Charles Jones
who was so badly injured at Hobart
Creek continues to improve. Instead
of taking the injured man to Reno
as was first proposed he was brought
to his brothers home in this city.
where he is receiving all the care and
comfort that is possible.
DR.. Circle. who has the case in
hand, is OF the opinio that he will be
able to bring his patient out all right.
The condition of the injured eye is
such that the outcome can not be
stated. while the other wounds il is
believed will mend rapidly. DR.. Circle
is Of the opinion that the patient will
make a rapid recovery.
Word from Hobart Creek today
is to the effect that repairs are being
made on the broken hume line that
carries water into Virginia City. 1t
is expected to have water in the
mains in few days, and inside OF ten
days to have both pipe lines full.
The search for the missing women
will have to be abandoned until later
