A Sad Story.

The following heart-rending story is
related by II gentleman just in from
Silver Peak
About year ago bright and prom.
ising young man came to that part of
the county from the Eastern States.
hoping to better his health. For some
time he had been subject at intervals
to severe spasmodic fits, during which
his sufferings were terrible. The
change of scene and climate proved
beneficial, and during the year he has
not been troubled by any return of his
fearful malady, and was beginning to
hope that permanent cure had been
effected. About six months ago he
attended a party where he made the
acquaintance of very charming
young lady, and mutual love was the
result of the meeting. The young man
belonged to good family in the East
and was quite well-to-do. The father
of the young lady is wealthy rancher
in Aida Valley, and forming a strong
liking for the young man, the course
of true love ran very smoothly and the
twain were to have been made one
next month. The hopeful lover had
kept his past i'll health secret from
his affianced and, while sitting with his
arm around her waist one evening last
week, she was astonished at feeling a
gradual tightening of his embrace.
Looking into his face, she was horror.
stricken by the glazed, staring expires.
sion of his eyes and the painful
contortions of his features. Tho
muscles of his arms continued to con.
tract until she found herself unable tc
move and held as if in 4 vice, while
the terror of her situation rendered
her speeches.. Finally he fell from
his clair and rolled over and over on
the floor in the agonies of his
spasms, dragging the unfortunate
young lady with him. When he came
out of the fit and recovered his con
seriousness he was Mortified to find
confronting him, in the person of she
whom he loved better than life, Il
hopeless, drivelng maniac, the fright
having deprived her of reason. After
calling for assistance and explaining
the circumstances to the nearly heart
broken parents, he mysteriously disap
peared and nothing has been heard OF
him since. 1t is feared that he has
made away with himself. The names
of the parties to this tragedy-thiS
worse than dcsolation of once happy
fresidc-are withheld out Of considera
tion to the disconsoate parents, who
are still hoping, in their almost
despairing grief, that Providence will
yet intervene and restore the reason OF
their child.

Lew Sheldon, the driver, Bud Harness
and Oily Mairs. They began show
ing more money at gambling tables
than it was supposed they could have
honestly come by, and finally were
arrested. They were kept separate,
and, after some persuasion, Sheldon,
the driver, was induced TO confess. He
said that his share of the booty was
only 800, the others having divided
the remainder. All were taken to
Independence last week.

splendor. Everything has had a going
