SENTENCE OF
DEATH COMMITTED

The bOarr of pardons met Mon
day in Carson City and committed
the sentence OF Ascension Mangana
from death to life imprisonment
and thus saved Warden Ray Baker
an unpleasant duty to perform.
Margana was sentcrced nearly
two years ago to die on the gallows
for the murder of Byron Nelson
at Iceland. a station on the line
of the Toropah and Tidewatcr
railroad in Nye county.
1t is said that the conviction of
Mangana was based largely on
circInstantlal evidence and that
it was partly on account of this
fact that the board of pardons
committed his sentence.
On the morning that the
murder of Byron Nelson was
discovered Assertion Mangana and
another Mexican werem missing from
the railroad camp. Their trail
was found and they were traced
% Rhyolite where Mangana was
found. He was attempting to
hide a watch he had taken from
the body of Nelson when found and
this circumstance alone had a great
deal to do with his CONNECTION.
Now that Mangana has been
given a life sentence iIstc;G Cf
being forced to die on the gallows
Warden Ray Baker has abolished
the death cell in the prison and the
two men now awaiting death in the
prison. Casey of Goidfeld n Uric
from HUMBOLDT county. have been
placed in cells in the section with
the other prisoners.
1t is said that while Mangana
was confined in a small enclosure
in the prison yard he cultivated a
small garden and that from this
garden hr will soon reap a har.cst
OF vegetables OF excellent quality.

SKELETONS FOUND
THOSE OF INDIANS

No little excitment was caused
the first of this week WHEN the
report that two skeletons had been
found buried some twelve miles
southwest of town. and from the
fact that about eight years ago a
young mar and his wife had
mysteriously disappeared, it was
at first believed that the mystery
had at last been solved.
District Attorney J. A. Callahan
was notified and Wednesday even
ing he came down from Winnie
mucca and in company with
Justice of the Peace B. L. Hood of
Lovelock. left for the scene of the
CHASTITY find yesterday morning.
They returned yesterday Afternoon
and reported that they found the
skeletons of two persons. but the
evidence showed II at they had
been buried fer al lCa,t fifty
years. The bones were badly de-
composed and there was neither
hair nor flesh to determine
whether they were Indians or
white persons. After a careful
examination the conclusion was
arrived at that the skeletons were
those of Indians.
The discovery was made by c..
II. Cunningham of the st. George
Placer Mining company. 1t was
while he VS. developing his
phi sphate mine that the bones
were discovered. On coming t.
to II Mr.. Cunningham spoke of
the matterin the pr essence of John
T. Ried. Recalling the disappear
ance of the two persons some,
eight years ago. the matter was
taken before the officials and the
inve jtigatiOn followed. The bones
were found at the foot of a high
cliff and they were buried under
at least hve feet Of dirt. There
were many tules and pieces of
mating and buriap found in the
grave, and as there are no tules
within several miles of the spo
where the bodies were found the
belief is further strengthened that
the bodies were those Of Indians
as il was the custom of the tribes
in this section at that time Ia cover
the bodies of those they buried
with the tules.- Lovelock Review
