HARDWICK ASKED TO OFFER
REWARD JENKINS SLAYER.

1t is understood that the Order of
Railway Conductors viii offer a re-
ward for apprehension of the slayer of
Conductor Jenkins, murdered at Thall-
mhan early Thursday morning and it
is also stated that the state may do
likewise. Fact Of. the matter is, Gov
ernor Hardwick has been asked by
Coroner Baldwin, of this county, and
others here, to offer reward also and
it is likely that he will grant the re-
quest.
The Staying of Conductor jenkins
has caused deep regret as it seems
that he was one of the most popular
present day bell cord pullers and the
cowardly manner in which death came
to him has aroused indignation every
where.
