conda hotel attempted to drug a
young waitress whose parents re-
side in Battle Mountain with tintic
of cantharides commonly termed
Spanishfiy. The report was given
slight credence, but Sunday a tele-
gram summoned the mother to
Golconda, who learned the partic-
ulars. 1t seems the Cinnamon had
acted suspiciously so the girl was
put on her guard. Last SATURDAY.
she observed the cook drop some
liquid into her coffee. The young
lady took it to Mrs. Gay and found
it to contain cantharides; the prop

was not partaken of. When the

there was talk Of lynching
but good ~ council prevailed. |

chada. Me refero Heinrich Beer, her
mano del immortal Meyerbeer, que era
un coleccionador de carteles de te8trO y
de bastones, famoso, y que muri6 loco
con un bast6n en- cada mano y IN cartel
de te8trO rodeado al cuerpo.
La monomanfa de Beer por coleccio-
mar bastones me Ia eEpIico en- parte. Un

es respetadO. Un bastonazo con-
vence mejor que IN discurso, y IN bas-
ton manejado habilmente por IN bra2o
robusto, no tiene replica possible.
No me explico tanto So afci6n q los
carteles de los teatros, porque no creo 20
que para tener un actor una actriz
en- la boca del est6mago sc necesite re
currir al sistema empleado por el hernia
no Meyerbeer.
Pero cada uno tiene sus gustos.
Aunque hay gustos que denuncian q
