scarlet Fever In Eureka.

That scarlet fever exists in Eureka at
the present time to an alarming extent,
there is no doubt. Some two weeks ago
the disease broke out. but only one or
two cases were then known. At pres
ept there have been four we'll developed
cases reported, one, the child Of Samuel G.
Gibson, having died from the disease on
Thursday last. The fever now exists in
the families Of Frank Romano. John Mer.
isldo. Ksta Frienzie and Samuel Gibson.
Parents should not get frightened, as by
proper care and judgment on their part
there is no fear Of the disease becoming
epidemic here at this time. The spread
Of the fever can be averted by isolating
all children from those afflicted, or who
have been exposed. 1t is better to sound
this note Of warning in time than defer
it until the disease gets beyond control.

Bert eaRord Serving seven Years
Tor Attempt 90 Murder. Sue
cecds In Decamping from the
state Prison.
A convict named Bert Gsford. sent
from Wsshoe county for seven years. es-
capped from the Carson State Prison
Wednesday evening Of last week. GsffOrd
came from Truckee originally and was
sent to prison for attempted murder. He
has served about three years OF his SEN
tence. He was q trusty, and he effected
his escape by an original aud clever decep-
tion. He impersonsted Warden Hender-
son, aud he did the trick so we'll that he
passed out Of the prison under the noses
Of the guards without arousing the least
suspicion. Warden Henderson wen TO
the Elko Convention, and the convict put
on the Warden's clothes and walked out OF
the prison. II is presumed that be went
10 the Sacramento Fair. Mrs. Henderson
was up tow at the time he deoamped, and
be took her jewelry and $40 in money.
Dressed in the Warden's clothes, adorned
with Mrs. Henderson's jewelry, and pro-
vided with a poke, full OF coin. he ought
to have a swift time at the Fair.
The Carson News Of the 18th inst. has
the following sceoun Of his capture:
Bert Gsfford, the escaping convict, was
captured last evening.
Yesterday the officers made q thorough
search Of the surrounding country and
the tracks Of the prisoner we're followed
to the Pine Nut country where they led
into a big marsh and we're lost. II was
evident from the way the escape had
walked back and forth near the Carson
river that be was confused or lost.
Last evening be appeared at Cradle
baugh's and secured lodging for the night.
The ladies at that place instantly recog-
nized him from the description that had
been given and fastened to send word to
Warden Henderson.
Mr.. Henderson had already sent ont a
team, however. and ii met the messenger
on the way and shortly after Gafford was
once more landed in the penisentiary
where his chances OF escape In the future
will be very slim.
As Gsfford, when be took his departure,
stole a quantity Of money, some jewelry
and a suit Of clothes, he will undoubtedly
be tried for that crime and receive an ad-
ditional two or three years, besides. Of
course, losing his credits.

From the 8. r. Daily Report. Sept. IA.


From the 8. =. Dsily Report, Sept. IA.
Shortly after 2 O'Clock Saturday after
noon last Mrs. Lydia spslding. widow Of
the late DR.. volney S~pslding. died In her
apartments at the Hotel Bella Vista, after
9 lingering illness. Her health began TO
fail over three years ago, and In the hope
Of checking the rsvsges Of disease she
made several trips abroad, visiting the
Hawaiian Islands, the Orient, and later
the East and Europe, in June Of last year,
taking a course at Carlsbad. On her re-
turn from Europe q few months ago her
health was materially improved, but IL
was evident TO her friends and 10 herself
that q permanent cure was out Of question
and she became 9 victim Of melancholis.
In the latter years Of her life her head and
heart were easily affected, and on one Of
her trips East the high altitude In Colo
RADIO threw her into q state OF nervous
prostrstion and she nearly went insane.
In May Of this year Mrs. spalding went TO
Paso Robles for treatment. but after an
absence OF four months returned to her
home in q worse condition than ever. Her
strength was gone and through paralysis
abe gradually lost the power OF speech and
locomotion. On Wednesday she became
unconscious and TO the moment Of her
death never rallied.
Mrs. Spslding was born in Cansndaigus,
N. Y, and il 1868 came to California Is
the bride of DR.. volney spalding. The
couple lived at Virginia City and Hsmil-
ton, White Pine county, Nevada, and Mrs.
spalding being a bright. active aud brainy
woman with q fondness for society. opened
and maintained fashionable boarding
houses in each Of the places named. The
Spaldings grew rich in Virginia City
through their intimacy with the Mackeys
and the Fairs, and when Mrs. Spaldins
came to this city Mrs. Fair built the ele-
CANT Hotel Bella Vista on the southwest
corner OF Pine and Taylor streets that
Mrs. Spalding might have a peerless es-
Enlistment. The latter moved to this
hotel from the Rslston House and took a
lease OF the structure. About twelve
years ago Mrs. Spalding lost her only son,
ant five years later DR.. Spalding died at
the Bella Vista.
Mrs. Spslding had q very strong indi-
viduality and a dominating trait OF her
character was generosity. She was gener-
ous 10 a fault. Time and again che helped
people In INDECENT circumstances. compar.
alive strangers to her, who had taken &C.
c~ommodations at her private hotel, and
who through stress Of circumstance sud
denly found themselves without means,

After the BOndsmep.

Yesterday L. s. Marshal Humphreys
served notice on Jacob Klein, Frank
Golden and Johnny Jones that the bond
due the Government by reason of the
Jones shortage mus. be paid. 1t seems q
little hard on Klein and Golden to have to
pay for a shortage made before they went
on the bond, but this seems to be the line
the Government is pursuing. These pa
pers were served on Jones al the prison.
Just nov Jones is making an effort TO
compel the men who received the gold
bullion and melted II down to lift the
mortgage on his house and help support
his family. He threatened to "make some
noise" unless this matter is at once at
tended to. and negotiations are now in
progress toward hushing the noise.-Car-
