ONE To BE HANGED:
ONE To BE SHOT.

Tuesday Judge Z. A. Quicker
made an order fixing March It'll as
the date for the execution Of MINI
rod Uric. the convicted murderer of
Jean Quilici. The execution is set to
take place in the Carson state prison
on the date named, between the
hours of 9 o'clock a. m. and 8 o'clock
p. m.
This is the final proceedings to be
taken in district court in Urie's case
and this is the second time the date
for his execution has been fixed. In
the first instance a stay of execution
was granted pending the hearing of
the appeal to the supreme court.
That court refused to grant him a
new trial and the remittitur having
been returned to the district court il
devolved upon Judge Quicker to
again fix the date for Urie's exeeu-
ton.
Uric was convicted and sentenced
before the law went into effect which
gives a condemned man the choice of
death by hanging or shooting, so he
will expiate his crime on the gallows
unless the board Of pardons should
intervene.

GROSSLY

According to the Goldfeld Tribune.
persons who have visited the camp
of Rochester. in Humboldt county,
worthy of reliance. are strongly ad-
vising their friends and %acquain-
tances against going to the camp at
this time and many persons are de-
ploring the character of publicity
that is being done to advertise the
district and attract to it a stampede
of mining men and camp followers. A
man who has just returned 10 Gold
field from Rochester declares that
there are only forty men employed
there in the mining district and a
large number of idle men, who have
little hope of securing any immeGi-
ate employment, and including a
number who are i'll. The altitude is
about 5000 feet and while the
amount of snow has not been great
the cold has been severe at times.

Alto ROAD INSTEAD OF
TRAMWAY. TO ROCHESTER,.

Pledging 100000 for the compile
ton of the project. mine and lease
owners of Rochester have decided
upon the construction OF a modern
rock surfaced automobile highway
as a substitute for all tramway plans
heretofore considered. The name
proposed is the "Oreana Auto Road
SAYS the Reno Gazette.
Although the conditions under
which the road will be maintained
have not yet been determined, 1t Is
probable that it will be practically
private highway, and it may be op-
Grated as a toll road.
Its construction will undoubtedly
have a marked effect in distribution
of population in the canyon, since 1t
proposes to deboueh upon the
heights above the camp, instead OF
coming to the camp from below. 1t
will run up Limerick canyon instead
of up Rochester canyon.
W. c. Pitt. Lovelock pioneer, who
is heavily interested in Rochester
canyon. attended the meeting at
Reno, Tuesday. at which the plans
for building the highway were final
" completed. The line OF construc-
ton is such that il will do away
with the expensive tram system OF
sending ore two thousand feet down
the hill TO the terminus Of the pres
ent wagon road into Rochester.
In spite of the big expense of
building the highway. the fact that
all properties can load their ore into
auto trucks directly from the dumps
is expected to more than Offset the
cost of construction within a very
short time. A fine road owe which
automobiles can carry minimum
loads of ore at top speed is expect
ed to materially cut the shipping
expenses of leasers on Nenzel noun.
tain.
As outlined by Mr.. Pitt the route
OF the highway is to be up Limerick
canyon on a much easier grade than
the present Rochester road; across
the divide into Rochester canyon
and along the side hills on a leve
that will take in the lower dump o.

the Lovelock Miner.
Mr.. Conway. in company with
Emil Summers and Harry Warren OF
Mason Valley, left last Thursday
afternoon from Wabuska by way Of
White Cloud for Loveloek and Ro-
chester. in an auto. After being out
a short distance on the fiat, they
found themselves fighting through
banks of mud. and the machine
finally got mired in the mud. They
spent the night in the machine and
in the morning on the frozen ground
managed to cover eight miles when
the machine got stuck again. 1t was
necessary for one of them to go for
help. They were then about 81
miles from Loveloek. Warren, who
is a trained athlete, started on foot
for Lovelock; Conway was taken
i'll and decided 10 follow along and
make his way as best he could. All
day and night Conway travelled
through the alkali mud OF the
Humboldt desert. losing the trail
made by Warren. and at last finding
hismelf wandering into the desert
again. He was faint for the lack of
water and food but kept his nerve.
Miles away he could see a flicker
ing light and made his way toward
il. He reached a small ranch house
where he was taken in and cared
for. being in an almost exhausted
condition.
In the meantime Warren had
reached a ranch house on the road
and had secured a team to take him
TO Lovelock. Here he secured

them took the back track 10 get

tracks found which were followed
until the Humboldt river was reach
ed where they were lost. The party
gave up the search and returned to
LoyeIock. Saturday morning the
search was again taken up with a
number of autos and searching par
ties. Nothing could be found OF
Conway and it was feared that he
had passed away on the desert.
Saturday evening Conway was able
to reach L~ovelock. being brought in
by the rancher in a covered buggy.

CORNELL IS ST|NGY
IN AWARDING C'S
College Paper Attacks Athletic
Council Because Only 10
Letters Are Given.
MANAGER MAKES DENIAL

A strenuous protest against the
limited number of football C's grant,
ed by the Cornell Athletic Council
this year has been registered by the
Cornell Sun, official organ of the UNI
dergraduate body
The Sun points out that in the pass
five years the football letter has been
awarded as follows: 1909. 81 letters;
1910, 10 letters; 1911, 10 letters; 1912, 10
letters, and 1918, 16 letters.
And then it makes this comment;
when we are beaten by Pennsyl-
vanie everybody gets his c. When
we beat Pennsylvania nobody gets
his c. In the first case a man is
showed into the Thanksgiving game
for the last thirty seconds and is
given his letter. In the latter case
he gets in and really plays-and is
politely turned down.
1.-The athletic council evidently does
not realize that there cannot be too
many Cs awarded for a victory in
the Penn game; it is for defeat that
the is granted too freely.
"And at the same meeting the coun-
Gil gives numerals to a freshman
team that did not even train"

Erwin Kent came back with a state
ment that he has investigated these
charges and has discovered that they
were absolutely without foundation.

Then, to cap the climax, the Detroit
manager attempted to convince two
or three members of the queens regi-
ment that baseball is the greatest
game on earth, and failed miserably
becaue the red coats couldn't make
out what he was talking about.

his majesty's colonial guards. "They
can field a ball practically any place

the cover off the ball.
Most of the work h'around ere

pretending Briton. "H'and they put
the covers on h'instead of taking
them off,
Jennings made one more desperate
attempt.
And you ought to see the curves
the pitchers have,'' he said. They're
something wonderful. They can make
the ball twist any old way, and make
it jump up or down.
I'VE ave plenty of curves ere,
too" replied the red coat. There's
more curves in Bermuda roads than
hany other roads on hearth. They

Murphy Attacks Outlaws.

Charles W. Murphy, owner of the
Cubs, is the first major league owner
to openly attack the Federal League
movement. Murphy says that he has
been carrying on a private investi
cation of the so-called outlaws
status, and he is in u position to say
that the whole thing is a bubble.
IF any organized league player is
foolish enough to sign with the Fed
erals" Says Murphy, "1'l1 wager 5000
that he will not remain with the or
ganization one day after the season
opens-if 1t really does open. The
story that $4,000 has been offered
Tinker for three years by the Chi
Cago Federals is a scream when IL
is known that the latter club is vir-
tually homeless and must spend at
least that sum to build suitable
ball park"

PLAYING MANAGERS GROW
SCARCER EVERY SEASON

How many more years before the
playing managers will be entirely out
of existence in the major leagues?
Next season there will be just two
playing leaders In the American
League, while there will be about
three or four In the National.
Not so many years ago this was
entirely changed. Most of the man
ayers for ball clubs tooN active part
on the diamond, but at the present
time most of them do their managing
from the bench.
When the 1914 campaign opens there
Is 81 possibility that only Joe Biz
mingham, of the Maps, and Bill Car
rigan, of the Red Sox, will be play
ing managers. The other six will do
it from the bench. Carrigan, being
a catcher, and with good understudies
may not participate in great num-
Der of games, while Birmy also may
be kept on the bench owing to q bad
leg.
If this is the case there will be no
playing leaders in the A.. l.. Frank
Chance and Jimmy Callahan, not so
long ago were playing managers, but
retired in 1918, and there is hardly a
chance they will return in 1914.
This is altogether different from the
start of 1918, when George Stovall,
Jake Stahl, Joe Birmingham, Jimmy
Callahan and Frank Chance were the
playing leaders. But times change
everything, and the National pastime
is no exception to the rule.
1t will be a little different III the
senior body. There were four play
ing leaders in the organization which
will be presided over by Governor
Tener, of Pennsylvania, while in all
probability there will be a like total
during 1914
Those who took active part on the
diamond and also handled ball clubs
in the National League during 1918
were Miller Higgins, of the Car
dinals: Johnny Evers, Cubs; Joe Tin
