MANGANA CASE

MUTED TO LIFE.

The case of Ascension Mangana,
the only murderer from this county
under sentence of death, and a pc
tition for the Communication of whose
sentence was presented the board
of pardons at its late session, is
still up in the air. His petition
was mislaid in some way by the
secretary of the board, although
it was filed in due time by Judge
Sanders, his counsel, and so its
consideration has ben postponed un-
til the next meeting, which will
likely be in April.
1t is not generally known, but
when the Supreme Court decided
his appeal adversely Judge Nor
cross filed dissenting opinion, in
which he laid stress upon the fact
that there was no direct evidence
discriminating Mangana, it being al
together circumstantial, and for this
reason it was proper case for the
consideration of the pardon board,
with a view possibly toward the
communication of the sentence.

been apprehended, and who Man

real murderer and the instigator of

POSTOFFICE
clerks HAVE
WAGES CUT
AND ALL BECAUSE THE APPRO-
PRIATION FOR EXTRA PAY
is EXHAUSTED.

There is wailing and gnashing of
teeth among the employees of the
Tonopah and Goldfield offices these
days. And all over small matter
like having their wages cut square
ly in two.
Naturally this is unpleasant COM
ing at a season when one must
needs work several weeks to nego-
tiate a ton of coal, and when folk
insist upon the cash for meal
tickets.
And the trouble is all due to the
fact that the emergency postal ap-
preparation made by Congress has
become exhausted 1t will be borne
in mind that in the boom days
Congress, in order to make up for
the high, cost of living in parts of
this western country, made spe-
cial appropriation on behalf of pos
tai employees of certain towns in
Nevada and Alaska. Among these
towns were Tonopah and Goldfield.
If the postoffices in these towns
were to be supplied with needed
help, it was up to the government
to pay extra compensation to make
up for the increased cost of living
in these towns. A $50 salary which
was ample for living purposes back
east was woefully shy in this west
ern country. 1t was necessary, in
order to get any help at all, thai
the scale of compensation in force
back east be just doubled in this
section. Hence Congress acted.
The cut goes into effect on the
18th inst.-the same day the legis
lature meets. Eight clerks are af
fected in the Goldfield office ant
one here, and in Goldfield the en-
tire eight have rendered their res'g
nations. The situation is seriou!

the following to say concerning it
"The postal department is pre-
pared to import clerks from Sal

men, and those with an extensiv

tion of the question lies in thei
hands"
Postmaster Stewart, interviewe
on the matter, stated that the onl
! remedy for the situation was to pu
it up to Senators Nixon and New
lands to secure another appropris
tion. If there is any show of ge
ting it the clerks would probabl

The greatest race ever run on the
Mississippi was between the Natchez, a
boat built in Cincinnati and COM
manded by Captain T. p. feathers, and
a New Albany boat, the Robert r. Lee,
under Captain John w. Cannon.
There was spirited rivalry between
the two vessels, and when the Natchez

beat 1t. He engaged the steame Frank
Pargoud and several fuel boats and ar
ranged for them to meet him at var
ious points up the river with rood and
coal. Then he had his boat cleared of
all her upper works likely to catch the
wind or make the vessel heavier.
On Thursday, juno 20. 1870. at 4:45

New Orleans. The Natchez followed
FIVE minutes later. The race had been
advertised In advance and was now
awaited with gathering interest at all
the river towns. Large crowds were
assembled at Natchez, Vicksburg, He
lena and other large places.
Between Cairo and st. Louis the
Natchez afterward claimed to have lost
seven hours and one minute on account
OF a fog and broken machinery. The
Robert Z. Lee, however, was not de-

steamed into port. Captain Cannon was
