FALLON, May 2l-That the posse
that Is pursuing Paul Walters, who
shot Sheriff Wildes Sunday near the
old camp of Jcssup is having a hard
time finding the man, was indicated
today when men came In from the
hills TO secure fresh horses.
No trace of Walters had been found
this afternoon. according to the men.
and the lack of horses was causing
considerable trouble to the posse.
There are plenty of men in the hills,
both from FallOn and LovclOck, many
going to the scene Of the shooting by
automobile
It is thought that Walters is hiding
in the hills and that he will be forced
To come out OF his hiding place to
secure food before long.
Sheriff Wildcs did not rest well last
night according to reports reaching
here from LOvClOCk. but IL Is not
thought that he Is in any immediate
danger unless pneumonia sets II. He

REWARD FOR
WALTERS DEAD
OR ALIVE
Governor Offers $1,000; Reno
Men Leave to Join Posse
Now On Trail

reward of $1,000 for the arrest and
conviction of Paul Walters, who.
while resisting arrest last Sunday
shot and seriously wounded Mark l..
Wildes, sheriff OF Churchill county.
Provided Walters be killed while
resisting arrest, the reward will be
paid, Notwithstanding.
Governors Proclamation
The reward is announced in the fol-
lowing prOclamation:
Whereas, one Poul Walters, while
resisting lawful arrest, shot and SER
iously wounded Hon. Mark l.. Wildes,
sheriff OF the county of Churchill, on
or about the 18th day of May, 1918,
and within the state of Nevada, and
thereafter fled and continues TO evade
and resist lawful arrest; and
Whereas. il satisfactorily appears
to me that said Paul Walters is dan
gcrous criminal and that it is unsafe
and destructive of law and the peace
OF the state for him TO be and remain
at large;
Now, therefore, /, Emmett ID.
Boyle, governor OF the state OF Ne
Vada, do hereby offer reward in the
name OF the state of Nevada in the
| sum OF $1,000 for the arrest and con-
| yiCtion Of said Paul Walters. And IL
| the said Paul Walters should be kill
! ed while resisting arrest. said re-
ward mall be paid, anything herein
TO the contrary Notwithstanding. In
case more than one person shall be
. entitled to reward, the sum so offered
shall be divided equally among them.
