An Artesian Well for Every Man Who
Voted for Him.

Some weeks ago we made mention
of Mr.. McQuitty's aptness for election
eering. And now we have the Carson
Appeal of the 18th, which shows
that Mr.. McQuitty's resources n the
field of politics were not limited to
kissing all the babies In the county
and bargaining for all the thorough
bred cattle be met on his rounds. The
Appeal says:
Yesterday in the Assembly the bill
Of Mr.. McQuitty. the Democratic
member from White Pine, concerning
artesian wells WAS reached on the
General File. In speaking Of the
question on the final passage Of the
bill, Mr.. McQutty in his zeal for the
measure, made slip of the tongue
and gave away one of tie secrets of
Democratic success in Nevada. He
saiu that during the last campaign he
had promised an artesian wei! To every
man who would vote for him. This
was a new element in politics to the
Republicans.
Mr.. Poujade Immediately moved a
recess, Speaker Cffin put the question,
and without waiting for the vote, de-
clared the House at recess, and an
nounced from the Chair that Repub-
lican caucus would be held immedi-
ately in the Assembly Chamber.
The Chamber was Immediately clear
ed of all persons except Republicans,
who went into caucus with closed doors
on the question Ct artesian wells as a
new factor in politics.

A Break for Liberty.

. Last Monday night Harry Camp
bell and his fellow prisoner, an In
dian, became tired OF the monotoy of
prison life, and concluded to make an
effort to escape from their thraldom.
Not being confined in the tanks, they
managed to tear up the Jail floor, and
we're working their way out under
the building. About this time Sheriff
Bassett happened to be going up
to the Court House and noticed a
light under the Jail. He was just in
time to nab his potegcs and put them
in the tanks, where they will no doubt
spend the most of their time here
after. They broke up the stove
damper aud used il to pry up the
flooring. The Sheriff also found two
saws they had made out of case
knives. The Sheriff tells us that Camp
bell was impudent on being frustrated
In his break for liberty and threatened
that officer with good thrashing
when he got free. All of which is not
calculated to increase the sympathy
felt for the young man in this com
munity.

Andsrson's Suicide.
SPRING VALLEY, Feb. ID, Is

SPRING VALLEY, Feb. ID, 1899.
EDITOR NEWS; | suppose you have
heard of the suicide of Autone Ander-
son. write this to give you the facts
in the case. he came to work for US
on the 10th of October last. Since
that time he had been herdng sheep.
We do not know of any reason for his
committing suicide. He always seem
ed to be of sound mind. We always
make II rule to visit our sheep camps
once week; we went to see him ON
the Cd of February, and he seemed all
right-just the same rs usual. When
we went to see him again ON the 9th,
we found him dead in his wagon. We
went and got several men to come to
see him before we touched the body,
and found that his throat was cut. SO
came to the conclusion that he COM
mitted suicide. He cut his throat
with n large butcher knife that he
used in the wagon. Yours respect
fully, JAMES BEws.
