Cuprite. Nye county, about year
ago, made sudden and vicious at
tack on Dick Thomas, one of the
guards at the prison, and also upon
John Lewis. convict, inflicting in
juries with an AK which may termi-

Guard Thomas was leaning over a lit

some convicts who were paying the
mandolin and guitar. An AK used for
splitting wood was behind the stove
short distance from where Thomas
was stardirg. Barron made a sneak,
grabbed the AK and without warning
struck Thomas two blows on the back
of the head. telling him to the floor
While in that position Barron stood
over him and hit him again, then be

This natural wonder is the area Of
Steamboat Springs, directly in the
line of the natural roadway between

the base of the hills which were de
