Homer Davenport. the Examiner
artist, was here the other day, on his
way to Carson City, where he goes 10
draw pictures of the big fight. He has
just returned from Europe, where he
was sent by Hearst to draw scarica-
lures of parliament. He wsls not n
lowed to take his pencil into the halls of
parliament, and only paper that has
been established five years in England
is allowed a representative in the press
gallery. so all his efforts failed, and he
can only draw pictures, If he draws them
at all, from memory. Davenport is a
very entertaining talker. and one of the
brightest men at dinner table l have
ever met.
Governor Budd will leave after he gets
though with the legislature for an ex-
tensive sea voyage, which may take
him to Europe. He is a continual suffer
er from rheumatism. and the clima.e
of Sacramento cripples him up every few
days. He is forced to go to San Francisco
to seek salt air, and his physicians rec
ommend that he go on long trip. The
trouble has been who would take his
place when he was away. The dispute
over the succession to Millard made It
possible that if he went away Repub-
lican would be lieutenant and acting
governor; but now that 1t is settled that
Jeter will be recognized as lieutenant
governor he can leave, and bill has
just passed the legislature allowing him
to remain away more than sixty days.
