A DExoRALIzEp Toums.-A we'll
known resident Of Gold Hill, a right
jolly, genial, eccentric. joker in his
way, whose name, legally speaking, is
John Doe, last Wednesday went with
a party of friends, in a buggy or two,
down to Reno OH q sort of pleasure
excursion. They cruised about, saw
all the sights and wonders Of that in
terestinS locality, and INDUCED more
or less freely In Reno whisky. How
1t affected tho rest of the boys we don't
know, but 1t is certain that the more
John used OF 1t the gayer and more
recklessly festive he became. Things
got mixed terribly, and by-and-by
John became possessed with the idea
that lie was in Dayton and ought to be
getting toward home. He took one
moro drink Of Reno whisky. and be-
came Oblivious Of all other ideas but
that Of getting out Of Dayton and
going home to Gold Hill. He forgot
friends, buggy, horses, everything, and
ut 10 or ii o'clock he started out. He
struck across the sagebrush plains and
rolling hills to the southwark, thinking
he saw Gold Canyon just ahead of him,
and at 8 o'clock in the morning found
himself Mt the old Ophir mill, In
Washoe valley. Then he began to
think he had gone In the wrong direc-
ton, and changed his course, walking
square into Washoe lake. He man
aged to get out, half drowned, covered
with mud, and chilled to the middle OF
his heart. He walked all the tiercer
to get warm, and before noon got into
4 town which they told him was Car
son. He never stopped-he couldn't,
for there were three or four drinks OF
that Reno whisky left In him yet,
driving him along like n locomotive.
He pointed himself for Gold Hill, and
steamed away across hills and ravines,
regardless =. all roads, keeping q
straight course. aud at 2 O'Clock P. N.
he STROBE into town. completely
simmered down and rs hungry
n coyote. lie has been rubbing
himself down with mustang liniment
ever since, and don't go to Reno again
very soon.
