STORY OF AUnDEK DENIED.
Groundtess Report of tho Killing {
Three Men Near Ballarof

GroundIess Report of the Killing OF
Three Men Near Ballarat.
RANDSBURG, CAL, April 13.-Several
prospecto rs who arrived from Ba,larat
last night deny the story that three men
were found dead in Death Valley. The
story of the triple murder by Panamint
Tom is without foundation.
On Saturday Ed Reid returned from
Ballarat and made the statement that a
prospector had come into the new camp
with the news that three dead men were
found in Death Valley, about forty miles
from BaIlarat, and the supposition wes
that they were shot by Panamint Tom.
Reid thought the murdered men were
Rhay, Sanborn and Davis, the three
Colorado prospectors who were sent=Sut
by local capitalists. The men had four
horse load of provisions that would last at
least six months.
Early on Sunday morning the residents
of Rands sDurg were startled at hearing thai
William J. Lanedon, Louis Goldsmith
and a man named Parker were killed near
Pansmlnt.
Every endeavor was made to show that
Langdon's party could not have been near
there, as it had left Randsbure ouIy la I
Thursday, and could not have reached
Ballarat, eighty miles distant, before Fri
day evening. Several of the late arrivals
saw and spoke TO the mem bers of the
Langdon party late Friday evening, and
Langdon was then going to his camp.
about six miles above Ballarat. Pana.
mint Tom was in Ballarat on Saturday.
and took dinner with Charles H. Treat
one of the men who arrive here last night.
William j. Langdon was one of the
original discoverers of Randsburg and has
a large circle of friends. Many kilograms
have been received here since the report
went out that he had been killed. These
friends may now rest reassured that he is
still among the living.

RANDSBURG, CAL, April 13.-During
the brief history of this iourishing min
ing camp all sorts of important events
have taken place, including births, deaths
and weddings, but the historian OF the
camp was compelled TO wait patiently
until the evening of the 18th day of April,
1897, for an opportunity to record an
event of the latter nature.
Some time ago e igar Scott fell q
victim to Cupid's dart and few days ago
it was announced in camp that he would
lead Miss Lottie Van Norman, one OF
Randsburg's fair ones, TO the altar and
make of her blushing bride. This being
the first wedding in the camp prepara-
, tions on scale in proportion 10 the impor-
tance of the event were at once begun. The
skating rink, the largest hall in the camp,
was engaged, and, though it is in the
heart of the Mojave Desert. it was con-
verted into veritable bower OF loneliness.
Wild flowers in profusion decked the
walls on all sid es. a raised platform al
one end of the hall was converted into an
altar and flowers were piled in profusion
around and upon it, while suspended over
he ad hung large floral bell.
To spread far and wide the news that
Randsourg was to have wedding the fol-
lowing posters were printe and scattered
about:

healthy babies. Weak women sometimes
have healthy babies, but the chances are
against it. Every woman can have
healthy, happy children if she will take
proper care of herself. DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription is what she needs. It
cures the weaknesses and diseases pecul-
lar to women. It makes perfect women
of them-wonen capable of maternity.
Its use obviates the dreaded, and gener-
ally useless, physicians examinations
and stereotyped local treatments. 1t is
the only medicine for women sold by
druggists, devised by a regularly edu-
Gated, experienced, and skillful specialist
in these diseases, and its sale exceeds the
combined sales of all other medicines ad-
vertised for this class of maladies. Taken
during the period of pregnancy, it pre-
pares the whole womanly organism for
its time of trial and danger. It practi-
cally does away with the danger and with
nearly all of the pain.
Women who care to know all about the "Fa-
vorite Prescription" and all about their own
physical being, and the best way to take care of
IT, should send IL onecent stamps to pay for the

Promoted For Taking a Oath.

In the Crimca, during the winter, Gen
eral CanroIcrt was in the habit of going
about among the men Of his command, in
cognitO, to see what they We're about, and
to learn their wants and encourage the
soldiers if they needed encouragement.
One morning, on one Of these tours he
came upon young conscript who had
stripped himself TO the waist and was bath
ing his body with handfuls Of snow.
'Thats an odd sort Of soap your
using" exclaimed the general.
ooh, it's good enough, said the soldier.
'You STE I'm young, and more than that,
I'm Lorraincr from Nancy, and II fellow

himself with snow on the march from

degrees below freezing. The old fellows
in my company, you see, bother me, and
make fun of me because l haven't any
beard, and since 1 can't shave out of doors,

those old fellows that Pm no more afraid
