MURDERER KILLED BY AN
INDIAN Of W|NNEMUCCA

Paul Walters, Socialist and draft
evader, who last Sunday afternoon
shot and killed Sheriff Mark wildes
of Churchill county, was yesterday
afternoon shot and killed by skinny
Paschal, an Indian trailer of Hum
boldt county and a member of the
pursuing posse, in an alkali swamp
six miles northeast of Parran, a sta
ton on the Southern Pacific, says the
Reno Journal.
Walters was shot about GAS pm.
He was hidden in clump of brush on
an island in an alkali swamp which is
known locally as Salt river.
Three posses were near the spot at
the time, one from Lovelock, one
from Fallon and one, headed by Dan
Mcleod and Emory Morgan of Reno,
the latter being composed of twelve
men. Morgan and Mcleod had been
taken from Reno on Tuesday night by
Deputy United States Marshal Knight.
Part of the Mcleod Morgan posse
had passed by the spot where Walters
was in hiding, when Paschal, looking
toward the island, saw what he took
TO be the figure of a man in a crouch
ing position hidden in the brush.
Then he made out the barrel of rifle
which was trained on Lovelock In
dian named Joaquin Brown, who was
also member of the posse and who,
with the others, with the exception of
Pasehal, was on foot.
Paschal shouted a warning to
Brown and, raising himself in his
stirrups, fired point-blank at the fig
ure in the brush with his 30-30, the
distance being less than fifty yards.
The sound of falling body in the
brush told the trailers that the In
dams shot had gone home. and after
a short time they waded through the
water to the islend and found Walters
in a dying condition, with the top OF
his head shot off,
Nearby him were a Winchester rife
and a revolver; a felt hat the crown
of which had been pressed in and
filled with cartridges, indicating in nc
unmistakable manner that Walters
had resolved to sell his life as dearly
as possible.
Judging from articles found neal
the body, Walters must have beer
packing about rs pounds. his provi.
sions including fresh pies. cakes, but
ter, 20 pounds of bacon and Is pounds
OF dried prunes. He also carried field
glasses and shaving brush and soap.
One hundred and fifty rounds of am
munition were found. There was also
a canteen of water.
Walters fingered for 16 minutes.
His body was taken to Tanning, near
where the shooting of Sheriff Wildes
took place An inquest will be held
at Fallon today.
The posse which trailed Walters

Payment on Preferred Stock.
Cedar Rapids, Jan. Wv. H. Burk,
treasurer of the Waterloo. Cedar Falls
and Northern railway, has issued the
following letter to the preferred stock
holders of the Waterloo, Cedar Falls
& Northern Railway Company:
"The Waterloo, Cedar Falls & North
ern railway company have not earned
the dividends on their preferred stock
for the year 1917, and the directors feel
that 1t must not be paid out of the
surplus therefore, it Is deferred until
it is earned The company is paying
its bonds and floating debt interest
and meeting it's current obligations, but
AS there is no liability on this preferred
stock, except to see that it gets the
first dividends earned. it is the duty Of
the company in these times to pay the
dividends only where they are earned.
The company has just received a new
franchise for street car operation in
Waterloo. which may provide some re-
lief on earnings, and the indications are
the government is going to give relief
on railroad and passenger rates very
soon. These things may be the means
of putting the increased cost of trans
portation to the consumer the same
as all other business. or in sufficient
amounts to earn dividends on our pre-
ferred stock next year. Let us hope
so. Another thing the stockholders
must bear in mind is that every bit of
business they can give or bring to the

CITY WILL BE DARK
UNLESS QUEST SUCCEEDS
Surplus Now Exhausted and Fuel Ad.
ministration Refuses to Make Special
Ruling in Favor Of Gas and Electric
Light Plants Of country-May Be
Compelled to Make Oil Gas.

Cedar Rapids, Jan. Unless Off
Gals of the United Light & Railways
Company and Of the Iowa Railway &
Light Company succeed in getting some
coal in the near future, Cedar Rapids
is likely to go dark.
The local gas company Is putting in
new apparatus SO that it can make
water gas almost exclusively. Water
gas is made from oil instead Of from
coal. The officials Of the company
have been pleading with the fuel ad-
ministrator to make special order
relative to public utility companies so
that . constant supply Of gas, heat
and electric light might be assured.
But the fuel administrator refuses to
make any such ruling. The public
utilities have to take their chance with
the rest. Therefore the gas company
is putting in more water gas machin-
cry so as to use more oil and less coal.
The gas, Of course, will be equally
good, altho It may cost the company
little more to make it than in the
days when gas was made from coal at
the old prices.
Electric Light Also.
At the present time Colonel Bows,
president Of the Iowa Railway & Light
Company, is back east on a similar
errand. He Is interviewing the fuel
administrator and also trying to get
more coal moving toward this city.
Some years ago the company had i'm
mense storage reservoirs built at
Prairie creek where the coal was
stored and flooded. In these big bins
thousands Of tons Of coal was stored.
But this coal has now all been used,
there is practically no surplus left.
The station is going almost on hand
to mouth basis, and as it takes eight
carloads Of coal every day to run the
plant, the situation is serious.
Hope For Open Winter.
Every public utility man, as we'll as
every railroad man, is hoping for
an open winter SO that the coal cars
may be kept moving as swiftly and
with as little delay as possible.
