HONOR CONVICT
CAUGHT AT verdi

Geo. w. James, honor man 1,090 of
the Nevada state prison, was captured
yesterday morning about 6 O'Clock bv
State Policeman Fravel near the
Flanagan lumber yard in Verdi. The
officer had been guarding bridge at
that point all night expecting the
escaped convict to come along and af-
ter vigil spied his man dodging along
between the lumber piles. AS the
convict stepped onto the bridge he
faced the revolver of the officer and
Immediately threw his hands into the
air.
Officer Fravel delivered the prison.
er to Captain Donnelly in Reno and
returned to the chase of the other
two convicts. Captain Donnelly
brought James to this city on the af-
ternoon train and he was soon landed
in the prison again.
At the depot James stated that he
had made the officers earn their money
but that there must be iinx on him
and that they had him all right now.
He was dressed in different suit of
clothes than those he wore when he
left the prison. He had good light
felt hat, dark pair of trousers and
light coat and soft dark shirt. He
looked tired and worn, as if he had
been losing all the comforts of home.
1t is understood that a slight trace
OF the other two men who escaped had
been found, but nothing sufficient to
tell the officers where they are located
at present. A search is being mada
all over the country for the two horses
taken from the prison, as it is believ-
ed the men would try to change them
for fresh mounts.
All the officers in the eastern and
northern part of the state are on the
lookout and it is felt that something
must be heard of them before long

than the opportunity so far allowed
this company. This company WILL
however, be satisfied to submit it's
figures at any time that it is given a
fair opportunity so to do, and when it
is fully understood on both sides what
the company is to sell or the people
to buy, but under the request of the
board heretofore made, the company
trusts that your honorable board will
readily see the disadvantages imposed
upon the company in not knowing
what property it is to place a price
upon, and that time will be extended
to afford opportunity to both sides to
reach an agreement that will be fair to
all parties concerned, which can, and
doubtless will, lead to the perfection
of one system which can be operated
to greater advantage and give the
highest standard of service at the
least cost, instead of two independent
systems, neither of which will be like
ly, or can profitably secure these re-
suits, by reason of the division of rev.
enues.
The company desires to assure the
board that it has under consideration
plans for further improving the pres
ent system, and suggests that these
negotiations should be speedily deter
mined one way or the other to the end
that such plans may be proceeded
with.
Trusting that the board will accept
the offer contained herein or adopt
some other plan for the equitable ad-
jstment of the matters in issue, we
respectfully subscribe ourselves

He brought out lump of basalt of con-
siderable size, constructed in the middle so
that a cord could be easily attached to it.
This cord was the one which we had brought
with us onto the plateau after we had used
it for climbing the pinnacle. 1t was over a
hundred feet long, and though it was thin it
was very strong. He had prepared a sort of
collar of leather with many straps depending
from it. This collar was placed over the
dome of the balloon, and the hanging thongs
were gathered together below SO that the
pressure of any weight would be diffused
over considerable surface Then the lump
of basalt was fastened to the thongs and the
rope was allowed to hang from the end of
it, being passed three times round the pro-
feSsorS arm.
