Pacific railroad, westbound, was
held up by two masked bandits
early this morning at Reese, nine
miles west of this city. One negro
porter was shot and instantly killed

the Pullmans, robbing all but three

CAUCUS Held
BY DELEGATES TO
The ASSEMBLY
MEMBERS OF NYE COUNTY DEL
EGATION HOLD MEETING
SUNDAY

Sunday afternoon the candidates
elect tc the assembly from Nye
county held caucus at which q
lengthy discussion resulted on sub
Jects relative to the general well
fare of the county. The last legis-
lature (may its work sleep in
peace) passed measure that
changed the county officials from a
fee to salary system. Ever since
not county office has been self
sustaining, and the general reduc-
tion of fees in the sheriff's, county
clerks, auditors and justices of the
peace offices has been such that the
general income has been lessened.
Following the general recon-
mendations of the last grand jury
the number of deputies in the diff
ferent offices has been reduced to
the minimum allotment and there
is hardly way that the running
expenses can be brought to a lower
standing.
The delegation will hold another
caucus this week and it is believed
that an understanding will be ar
rived at regarding local conditions
that, If legislated into law, will
work for the benefit of all taxpay-
ers, and not for just a few parties.

MEN ARRESTED
BY STATE POLICE
Are RELEASED
CASE AGAINST ALLEGED MUIR
DERERS NOT PROVEN AND
MEN DISCHARGED

Late Saturday afternoon the pre-
liminary hearing for j. NJ, Byrne
and j. A. LaBeau, the two men ar.
rested near lone by a member OF
the state police for the killing OF
Carl Flash several weeks ago, was
held before Justice of the Peace H.
Fl. Atkinson, and after the taking
Eof what testimony the state pro-
duced, both were released from
custody.
The real cause of the arrest OF
the two men is unknown, but it re-
suited from the direct interference
of the state police body. Flash met
his death at the bands of Byrne
and LaBeau.. who were deputized by
a deputy sheriff of Lander county,
who had a warrant for his arrest.
This same deputy came to lone and
was evidently afraid to tackle
Flash himself, for after the man
left the camp, Byrne and LaBeau
were deputized. In the account that
reached this city after the killing,
Flash resisted arrest and in a run
ming battle that followed he was
killed. The local officials investi-
gated the killing but could find no
evidence that would serve as a case
against the two men. While the
Lander county deputy had no legal
right to deputize the men, the tes-
timony at the coroner's inquest, ac-
cording to reports, was such that it
appeared that Flash was the first
to start the battle which reulted in
his death.
Another report in circulation was
that at the time Flash's body was
searched his revolver showed that
but one bullet was discharged. 1t
was further stated that the verdict
of the coroner's jury was that either
death was due to bullet wound in
fiicted by unknown parties. or that
it was self-infiicted with suicidal in
tent.
The case goes to further prove
the usefulness of the state police
as a body for investigating crime.
1t appeared that the first investiga-
tion of the local authorities was
not sufficient as final disposition
of the matter, but that Nye county
should undergo additional expense
to satisfy the curiosity of the heads
of the police force at Carson, and
also to probably demonstrate to the
people of the state that the state
authorities were good for some

LONDON POLICE
and ANARCHISTS
Fight FOR HOURS

LONDON, Jan. 3-The London
police and firemen engaged in re-
markable battle today with band
of anarchists who had been round
ed up in a four-story brick house
almost in the heart of the city.
The anarchists held at bay for al
most four hours the force sent
against them, until the building
collapsed under the attack of the
flames, burying them in the ruins.
Six bodies were recovered from the
wreckage. Several firemen were in,
jured and the number of persons
wounded by bullets in the affair
took on the proportions of a real
battle. Machine guns were called
for, but not used.
The anarchists, who were wanted
for the recent murder of two police
men, were discovered in the house,
which was at once surrounded. In
all over 100 shots were fired before
the building caught fire, calling the
fire brigade to the scene. It is i'm
possible to tell how many anarchists
were in the place. The city is in
tensely excited and thousands are
thronging the streets in the vicinity
