GIBSON IS SENTENCED
TO 14 YEARS AT CARSON
Judge Somers Imposes Maximum Penalty and in So Doing Sharply Ar
raigns Convicted Man for His Past Serious Misconduct-Great
Crowd of Spectators Hears Judgment Pronounced
At one o’clock this afternoon Judge Peter J. Somers sentenced Gorge Gibson, who on Tuesday was
convicted of the crime of asault with intent to kill, to serve fourteen years in the state penitentiary at Car
son City.
The spacious court room wascrowded to its capacity. Interested spectators stood in the rear of the
court room and crowded the aisles to learn what penalty would be meted out to the man who has been such
a chronic disturber in the camp of Goldfield.
Before sentence was imposed upon Gibson his attorney, M. A. Disxin, entered a motion for a new trial
and submitted it to the court without argument. The motion was promptly denied by Judge Somers, who
then asked the defendant to stand up. Gibson rose to his feet and listened attentively to the words of the
judge. All the affrontery and brazenness which had hitherto characterized his actions bad left him and his
face assumed an ashen pallor.
After reading the indictment in part,
and informing Gibson that he had bean
convicted of the alleged crime, Judge
Somers asked him if he had anything
to say why the sentence of the court
should not then be pronounced upon
him.
Gibson replied:
“I have, your Honor. I know at th>s
time it will do me no good. I am not
looking for the sympathy of anybody.
I know the community at large wants
me convicted and wants me sent to the
penitentiary. T know that. But I will
say this much: As your Honor knows,
at the first trial M. J. Cahalan testified
on that stand that my gun was at half
cock when it went down. He also tes
tified that my gun was onan empty
shell, which is the truth. Mr. Brow 1
says, on the first trial, that at no time
did Mr. Cahalan have his hand on my
gun—which is the truth. There is more
in this case than your Honor or the peo
ple of Goldfield know about, between
Cahalan and I, that never came out on
that witness stand. He said, at the
second trial, that my gun was cocke 1
all the way when it descended on his
hand, which is a lie. Mr. Brown said,
j after being drilled in the district at
torney’s office and by Mr. Cahalan,
that he could not swear whether Mr.
Cahalan had his hand on my gun or
not. At the first trial he said that at
no time did he have his hand on my
gun.
“I am not looking for sympathy,
your Honor. I don't expect none, an i
I don’t want any. That is all I have
got to say.”
Judge Somers in imposing sentence
said:
“The criticism which you put for
ward as to the testimony of Mr. Caha
lan is quite unwarranted, as the record
will snow.
“You are charged by the indictment
with a felony. The jury found you
guilty, after a fair and impartial trial, j
You were ably defended by counsel, j
who was zealous in your behalf. And
it is a matter of great gratification to
the court to know that he he has left
nothing undone to protect your rights
in the matter.
“It seems that you have been carry
ing a revolver habitually in this county,
and from your previous experience in
this court, as well as from the trial
which resulted in your conviction, the
court believes you to be a dangerous
man. The court believes that you are
not a brave man. No b^ave man ha
bitually carries a gun. No brave man
is a gun man. No man carries a gun
unless lie be an officer of the law, or au
thorized by the law so to do. All cow
ards are dangerous men in the com
niunitv, because when they carry guns
they are liable to use them upon no
provocation.
“Such, I believe, has been your
conduct in this community, that the
severest punishment should be metoj
out to you. You have been fortunate
in escaping so far. It is still more for
tunate for you that you be confined fo*
a considerable period of your life, to
save you from more dreadful conse
quences.
“The sentence of the court is that
you be confined in the Nevada State
Penitentiary, located at Carson, in tho
state of Nevada, for the period of four
teen years.’’
“Much obliged,’’ said Gibson as the
judge concluded.
Gibson was convicted of the crime ot
assault with intent to murder M.
Cahalan, who was attempting to serve
a warrant of arrest upon him in the
Klite saloon during the month of Aug
ust.
His first trial resulted in a disagree
ment of the jury after it had deliberat
ed upon the case for twenty-two hours.
The second trial resulted in a verdict
of guilty after four hours’ considera
tion of the case.
Gibson will probably be taken to the
state penitentiary the early part of
nex* week.
OFFICIAL RETURNS OF STATE
ELECTION^ANNOUNCED
CARSON CITY, Dec. 21. — The of
ficial returns of the state election held
in November as canvassed by the su
preme court resulted in no particular
change in the vote as announced and
tabulated by counties. There was a
change in Churchill county', which gave
Douglas a gain of 125 and Con Ahern
a gain of 100, but in neither acse was
the gain sufficient to change the result.
The mistake was one of addition.
The most significant feature of the
returns is the fact that Joe Josephs was
elected clerk of the supreme court by
a lead of 11 votes over J. W. Legate.
It means another Democratic official.
George Springm-yer was defeated by
Cleveland H. Baker by 65 votes. It
is possible that a contest may be insti
tuted.
Con Ahern was beaten by Charles
Deadv by nearly 400 votes.

and certified as official by the court are
as follows:

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS OPEN
FIRST WORKING DAY IN JAN.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. — Postmas
ter General Hitchcock said last night
that everything was in readiness for
the postal savings banks to receive de
posits on Jan. 3, the first working day
of the new year. The task of drawing
up regulations, forms and instructions
has progressed so far as to assure the
beginning of operations.
One experiment office will be opened
in each state and teritory to make thi
first test of the service as thorough as
possible under the limited appropria
tion. The offices designated are all
of the second class, and in localities
where conditions are exceptionally fav
orable for the development of a postal
savings business. Several of the offices
selected are in communities of foreigu
born Americans, who are remitting an
nually considerable sums of money to
their native countries by postal money
orders.
In the last few days the postmasters
at the twelve offices in the Rocky
mountain ami Pacific coast states have
been in Washington, at the request of
the postmaster general, for a conf?r
ence.
They were instructed how to put the
new system into operation and ho.v
the business should be conducted.
DEL MONTE SAIAJON

Hammond, at one time with the Texas
saloon, have purchas d the Del Monte
saloon on Main street, which has been
conducted for the past year by Jack
Givens The new proprietors are well
and favorably known to the public and
will cater to the best trade of Gold

iiEOGRE GIBSON IS
TAKEN TO CARSON
Under-Sheriff Charles Benton left
Jhis morning for Carson City, having in
custody George Gibson, who on Satur
day was sentenced to serve fourteen
years in the state penitentiary.
This is Gibson’s second trip to the
state prison, as he was confined there
for nearly a year pending the hearing
of his appeal when he was convicted
of manslaughter for killing Richar 1
Maunsell, the young mining engineer, f
By good behavior Gibson can reduce
his sentence to about nine years, but
as he has a quarrelsome disposition, it
is doubtful whether he will so conduct
himself as to gain the customary cred
its. While in confineir|nt at Carson
City he showed marked evidences of
being unruly and made himself so ob
noxious to the prison officials that they
will probably not be much pleased by
his return to that place.
AGED MINER PASSES AWAY.
,T. A. Harris, a miner, aged 60 years,
passed away at noon today at the coun
ty hospital, death being due to
Bright’s disease.' The deceased was a
native of Mississippi and had been a
resident of Goldheld for some time.
There are no known relatives. The re
mains are at Dunn’s undertaking par
