NIMROD URDU'S SENTENCE
COMMUTED TO 25 YEARS
Nimrod Urie, sentenced to the state
prison for life from Humboldt county
for first degree murder with Tramner,
hi9 partner, for the killing of the
Quilici family, today had his sentence
commuted to twenty-jfive years with
credits. He will be able to leave the
prison in November, 1926.
Gov. Boyle, Chief Justice Sanders of
the supreme court and Attorney-General
Fowler are reported to have been

who voted to commute the sentence,

MORE INDICATION
OF ELAN IN ELKO
The story recently published in a
local paper to the effect that the Ku
Klux Klan was rumored to be in ex
istance in this city, brought forth many
a smile and a statement: "That is
just another newspaper story," and to
tell the truth, the writer was rather
of that impression also, the Elko Free
Press says.
However, recent developments would
seem to give credence to the story, urf
less there are several rather prominent
citizens endeavoring to "kid" somebody.
During the past week a number of resi
dents of this city have reported being
approached by committees of two or
three, usually well known citizens, and
questioned as to their ideas on this or
ganization, informed as to its aims and
ideals, and in fact practically invited to
join.
The strength of the local "chapter"
is not known, nor are any of its mem
bers, the whole thing being merely in
the supposition stage, as is the case all
over the United States, but if there
really is such aw organization, active
here, it will come to light before many
more months have passed.
J. F. SHAUGHNESSY S
CONDITION IMPROVING !
Inquiries instituted by J. M. Fulton,
assistant district freight and passcn -
ger agent of the Southern Pacific com
pany, here, have elicited the informa
tion from eastern sources that J. F.
Shaughnessy, chairman of the Nevada
public service commission is recovering
from a major operation performed at
Brookline, Mass., although his return
to Nevada is yet a matter of consider
able time, savs the Reno Journal. An
exploratory cranial operation perform
ed some time ago revealed the exis
tence of pressure on the motor areas
of the brain and a second, which proved
delicato, successfully removed the
cause.
Mr. Fulton was in Washington whene
Chairman Shaughnessy was first strick
en and learning the tatter's plan to pro
ceed to Boston, arranged with the rail-
'road associates to facilitate the trip.
I A railway representativve met the train
jat Boston and saw the sick mam safely
to the home or his
own relatives.
Alarmist and unfounded reports cir
eulated in Reno caused Mr. Fulton to
institute further inquiries, resulting in
the cheering news detailed above.
GREATHUOSE ARRIVES TO

TO BE ARRESTED

That the arrest of an Indian for the
murder of Ah Quong, whose body was
found im a barn at the rear of his cabin
in Chinatown Thursday, may be ex
pected at any time was the announce
ment of Sheriff Joe Stern this morning.
The trail of an Indian suspect, a
dope fiend who has served a term in
the Nevada state prison for forgery,
has been followed and it is expected
that he will be picked up at Yerington
or Schurz today.
Movements, of the Indian from the
day of the murder have been deter
mined by the sheriff. This Indian, usu
ally without any more valuables than
the clothes he wore, was said to be in
a weak physical condition Wednesday
for want of narcotics and without money
to buy the drug.
He had been used to teasing Ah
Quong, securing narcotics from the old
Chinese without paying for them and
in general annoying the old man. At
about six o'clock on the evening of the
murder another Chinese was grabbed
around the arms near Quong's cabin
by an Indian who answers the descrip
tion of the man sought and this Chinese
was called by the nickname of Ah
: Quong. When the Indian discovered
that he was holding the wrong man he
released his hold and disappeared.
sappearet
At abdut ten o'clock Wednesda' night
the Indian went to a sleeping place
other than the one he had usually oc
cupied and early in the morning left
there and caught a train for Yerington.
Before leaving Carson, however, he
left in his pockets. This money, Sheriff
Stern believes, was taken from the
clothes of Ah Quong after the murder.
Further investigation of the Quong
cabin in Chinatown today lead to the
discovery of a bloodstained hammer
and to the discovery that the head of
the dead Chinese had been struck in
several places. This lead to the belief
that the old man was not killed with
the first blow, but was struck several
times before he expired.
