Southern Pacific and the Western Pa- ( qlfic Railroad general managers pro- M testing against the possible shipment t of the idle army near Sacramento, in- J to Nevada. The message says: j in "The band of Indigents which was 1 8J driven out of Sacramento yesterday H by force, has proved itself by its re- I fl cent actions a menace to life, prop- I H erty and health. Should it cntct H Nevada, it will be a much greater 'M menace and danger than it heretofore ill has been and will be looked upon and nl dealt with as a dangerous invading d.H force. I strongly protest against ;l your railroad shipping this band of H indigents into Nevada. Furthermore, on behalf of the state of Nevada I H will not allow them to be unloaded jjH within its borders. 5 M t"Taskcr L. Oddie, Governor of Ne- vada."
