of fantastic schemes cannot do much good.
CHEERFUL UNDER SENTENCE OF
DEATH
Rover, whose case is one of the most re-
markable in all the history of crime, who has
been four times tried for his life and twice
found guilty of murder in the first degree,
and who, even now, is awaiting the sentence
of death, has been interviewed by a reporter
for the Reno Gazette who narrates the follow
ing:
Rover was, as usual, glad to see us, and
was rs cheerful and talkative IA free man.
He expresses strong hopes of his case and
says there is no reason whatever for des-
Pondency on his part. He expects that the
| Supreme Court Will discharge him from
custody, in view of certain irregularities in
former trials and errors in ruling during the
present session. Said We:
Glow is it Rover, that you don't show all

| Discouraged" said he Il don't know
! what that word means. I'm not dead yet, by
any means"
but what keeps you up under such
long and continued strain.
'Why, I'll tell you. I've got clear
conscience and | don't fear the devil and all
| his imps"
Here Rover went into discussion of
various points in his case, which were very
interesting but too extended for publication
here. We interrupted him after a time to
ask what he thought of the present status of
his case.

hole, and it was my first play, you might
pair me and go out, ehl'

''Not at all; | am one of those men who
play it out"
''Have you a good hand!"

Court takes up my case l expect to turn
jack which will put me out-of jail without
further trouble.
This was Rover's theory and seems to
satisfy him fully As we left he was laughing
heartily, and very unlike man who was
standing upon the brink of another world
Concerning the Osceola diggings we repro
duce the following from letter from Ward
to the Eureka Sentinel of June II:
Since | last wrote you, | have been to see
the elephant sceola-and must say that
was agreeabiy surprised in what [ saw there. |
[ was there but one day, but [ took every. |
thing in; visited the quartz and placer mines
PANIED out several pans of dirt myself, and |
got fine prospects of gold. The placer mines !
there are certainly no humbug, and will be |
worked Systematically by their owners. The |
greatest drawback to the camp is the scarcity |
of water; one little stream of three or four in
ches is all that there is in the immediate vi
entity, but the miners are packing and haul
ing their dirt mile or more to water, and
are making good wages, Yesterday George
DOane returned from the diggings, and stated
that chunk of gold had been found in the
Chappeile claim, or gulch, which was valued
at $500.
The same writer says that great many
specimens, varying in value from So to $50
have been found; but his statement that sat
east 81 900 in dust has been taken out" looks
ike a possible average, since the diggings
we're discovered of 81 per man.
