A Sad Case.

Mrs. ]. H. Sanguinet returned this
afternoon from Ogden where she had
been called by the death of her father
The old gentleman was on his
way to visit her. and when he
arrived at Ogden he was
stricken with paralysis and became
unconscious. He had no Efpers on
his person to tell who he wasS and he
was taken to the hospital where be
lay for nearly four weeks before the
nurse could learn anything about
him. They got word from him now
and then and by putting them to-
gether learned that he had a daugh-
ter, Mrs. Sanguinet, residing at Skel-
ton in this county. The nurse at once
wrote to Mrs. Sangumet and she got
the letter on the 7th. The letter did
not state that her fathers condition
was serious. She answered it asking
if he could be removed to Elko. On
last Thursday she received telegram
stating that her father was dead. She
left Immediately for Elko intending
to take the train for Ogden that
night, but was too late. She took
No. l Friday morning and arrived
in Ogden in time to arrange
for the funeral, which took place
Sunday afternoon. Her father
was sixty-three years of age.
Mrs. Sanguinet has the sympathies of
a large circle of friends in her be-
reavement.

Georgia Heads the List.

Adjutant General Corbln is maxi

buttons of the various States and ter
ritories to the volunteer army. He
makes the surprising announcement
that Georgia has furnished more vol.
unteers than any other State in the
country, her quota exceeding that Of
Illinois by nearly 200 men. He says
that In general the South has fur.

A Chinatown Fire.

About 4 o'clock Sunday morning
the slumbeIs Of the people we're dis
turbed by the changing of the fire
bell. The morning was cold and
many got up, looked out and saw that
the fire was in Chinatown and went
back to bed. The fire started il a
small frame building north of the
joss house on the east side of Fifth
street and before it was got under
control two small buildings and the
joss house went up in smoke. ~'
The origin of the fire is unknown
unless the Chinese version of it is &C.
cepted. On Friday morning, Ye
Jung Lock, a Chinese Mason and a
royal good fellow as Chinese 90,
shuffied off and his brethren conclud-
ed to keep his remains until wednes.
day when they would have big time
over him and give him good send-off
into the other world. Now, Ye Jung
Lock was opposed to all big celebra-
tons when he was in the flesh and.
while the watchers with the corpse
we're asleep or out of the building,
he got up out of the receiver, set the
building on fire and laid down again
and covered himself up with ice.
This ID the Chinese theory of the ORR
gin OF the fire. Anyway the builde
ing was burned and the head and
feet OF Ye Jung Lock we're scorched.
The buildings belonged to the Chinese
in general. The Joss house contain
ed good deal of paraphernalia and
other truck, dear to the Chinese heart
The total loss is estimated at $4,000.
Mr.. Pullman had taken coffin and
a receiver to the building and those
we're burned. He places his loss at
about 500.
One of the Cinnamon, in speaking
OF the remains Of Ye Jung Lock es-
Gaping total destruction, said it was
because they were covered with ice
"No ice,' he said, sand he would have
burned like hell" What was lef. of
Ye Jung Lock was put under the
ground yesterday and he will start no
more fires. His friends are cheated
out Of good time and a pile of rub
Dish marks the spot where their Joss
house stood. And this because Ye
Jung Lock, living and dead, was Cd.
posed to celebrations and big times.

HertinR Goes Back.

Among the pardons granted by the
Board Of Pardons at its recent session
was that Of E. A. Herting, who killed
William Cocks in this city in June.
1894, and for which he was sentenced
to ten years in tho penitentiary. The
pardon, however, was to the effect
that 1t was good only on condition
that he left the State Immediately.
Herting came to this city and as he
did not leave the State the Board of
Pardons held a meeting Yesterday
morning and rescinded the pardon,
and ordered Warden Henderson to
bring him back. In the meantime
Sheriff Quirk had been notified to
arrest Herting, which he did, and the
prisoner was taken to Carson yester-
day to serve out his term. When
Hertlng was ararsted he was armed
with q 44-caiber reevolver.-Enter-

AN INNOVATOR.

II have called on you to-day" said the
professional humorist, with glad smile,
az he approached the desk Of the great
editor and made himself comfortable in
the precarious Office chair that once had
a cane bottom in it, Ito PROFOUND to you
q scheme that seems to me to be-up-to-
date and we'll worthy OF considerat ion.'
"Umph" growled the great editor.
Thus encouraged, the humorist pro.
ceeded:
"For some time pact, as you have
doubtless observed. the progress OF the
world has developed a peculiar phase.
which may be spoken Of as that OF les
sening. It seems to be the ambition Of
all inventors to add the word less to
