THREE YOUTHS
SENTENCED TO DEATH

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 16.-Governor
Johnson will soon be required to make
the most important decision of his ad-
ministration. II will be a decision
dealing with life and death-of boys.
The law demands that three boys
all in their teens-die on the scaffold
in this state ere two more months
elapse- Unless the governor grants
reprieye or commutes sentences two of
the youths will be hanged in Sep
tember and the third III October.
Louie Bundy at the age of IT beat
to death messenger boy in Los An
geles.
Earl Loomis in his 18th year shot
down Mrs. Marie Molcroft while in
the act of burglarizing the woman's
ice cream parlor in Sacramento.
Charles Oman, II year old boy.
shot and killed William Alexander in
Los Angeles while he and companion
were trying to break into the Alexan-
der home.
They are murderers, true enough.
but is 1t just the right thing TO hang
boys. This is what the governor
must decide
Earl Loomts Is just beginning to
learn the teachings of the church and
Sunday school. Mrs. Ellis F.. Love, a
churchwoman of Sacramento, will
plead his case before the governor.
Tho i've H..
had chance in life.
Louis Bunday, terrified at the
thought of the gallows and hangman's
moose, wept with joy when word was
impaired to him at San Quentin that
the governor had granted him a re.
prieve. His life means so much 10
his loyal and loving sister that she
Is laboring faithfully to have It spared.
His mother died under the terrible
strain when her son was sentenced
to death.
Bundy's cellmate, Charles OMAN,
Will have no father or mother to mourn
his death If the governor allows the
law to take its course. The hand of
the Reaper took them both and left
the boy without a guiding power.
Never before in the history of the
state has a similar condition arisen.
Never before have three minors been
under the death sentence at the same
time. In fact the prison officials find
few instances where the state eXecu-

PEOPLE ARE ADVISED
TO BUY WINTERS COAL

With the weather as warm as it is.
Nevadans may not be worrying about
coal for next winter, but there was
an item in the Gazette that ought to
set people thinking. Back in the win
ter of 1906-07 this city had something
very much like a coal famine and for
several weeks, with the cold unusual
ly severe and snow on the ground
all the time, it was hard to get fuel
OF any kind. There was even some
suffering, not only in Reno. but also
in Carson and Virginia City. in Win
nemucca and Elko. and probably else
where.
The item referred was a dispatch
from Altoona, Pa. and said: An
ticipating shortage of coal this fall
and winter, the Pennsylvania Railroad
Is taking steps to protect itself by
storing thousands of tons at conven-
lent points along the system"
If great company like the Penn
sylvania system, possessing enormous
resources in coal, is already taking
steps to conserve its supply for the
coming winter, plain citizens in Ne
vada, who have to buy their fuel from
the dealer. would do well to look
ahead. Dealers, themselves. have
probably arranged for their winter
stocks. Having had one taste of the
inconvenience and discomfort of fuel
shortage, Nevadans will not want to
go through Ii again.-Reno Gazette.
