SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2O.-The

The disgraced deputy United States
marshal left his home for the last
time on Friday noon. There was moth
ing unusual in the manner of his
leave taking, and his family had only
general fear that his late melan-
choly would lead TO some rash act.
Friday night he did not return to
the Franklin Hotel, his residence;
this absence, taken in connection with
his recent difficulties, was more than
enough to arouse the apprehensions OF
his wife. but she built fanciful ex-

This document, written when the
Suicide had in mind the picturesque
park, the steps which he would mount
and, perhaps, the concealed place
among the shrubbery where he would
voluntarily encounter death, was
fraught with imageries of the week OF
turmoil and the ominous tranquility
that he sought.

ovators of Winnemucca is something
fierce. They get the clothes clean
sometimes-but while getting out the
dirt they also take out all the color,
and return the garments to the owner
in such a shape that the only way to
prove previous ownership is to try
them on, and then guess. Patronizing
Reno and Sacramento laundries is de-
cidedly expensive, and in the end is
little better tnan patronizing the
Chinese.
A good laundry, managed by an ex-
perienced man, would pay well from
the start, and there is a considerable
amount of work from neighboring
towns along the railroad and stage
lines that could be counted upon, as
soon as the quality of the work was
proven satisfactory. Interested par
ties will find it to their advantage to
correspond wit hany of the local mer-
chants and business men. and will
meet with all the encouragement that
could be desired if they will look the
situation over.

Rumors have been rifle on the street
for several days past of strike on
the Tonopah-Golden Gate, but numer-
GUS requests to the management failed
to confirm these reports.
Mr.. Clark, the general manager of
the Tonopah-Golden Gate was seen last
night in regard to the reported strike
in their properties. He was at first
disposed to deny that any strike had
been made, but finally reluctantly ad-
mitted that they had found some val
ues. and being told that we had hearI
some fabulous stories in regard to
the strike. he decided that we had

the fact that it was necessary to say

The ores from which these assays
were made were grab samples and not
picked specimens, and show the aver

the general manager, is very conserv-

PITY OVERCAME HIS WRATH
And Lamb Returned for CnCe
Without Is Man

Sheriff Lamb returned on No. this
afternoon from Wadsworth, where he
went with a warrant for the arrest of
a man who robbed the ranch house OF
P. H. Cowles. a merchant of Wads-
worth. He returned without his man
IA very unusual thing for him to do.
! in explanation of which the following
facts are given:
Mr. Cowles learned that his house
on the ranch had been robbed by a
man travelling in a wagon, accompan-
led by his family. He located the out
fit near the Pyramid reservation, and
accompanied Sheriff Lamb and Deputy
/ Constable Reagan to the place to iaen-
| tify the stolen goods. The party
found the man. whose name is given
as Myers, with his family, encamped
near the reservation, but investigation
discovered condition that melted
the hearts not only of the stern Off
cers of the law, but of the prosecuting
witness as well. The family included
! the wife and eight children, and all
were living evidences of extreme pow
/ erty and want. Their horses were
miserable old crowbaits that were
literally, on their last legs. The chill
dren were poorly clad and half-starv-
4 ed, and even with the presence of the
shiftless excuse for man who was
their father. were fit to become county
charges. The animals they had were
unable to haul the wagons to the near
est town. and had they been placed
under arrest the county would have
had to haul them in, horses and all
The evidences of the mans crime
were found in the wagon, there being
all the food, dishes, tools, etc., that
the house contained. But after seeing
their pitiful condition, Mr.. Cowles re-
Tented, and through sympathy for the
woman and dependent children with
drew the charge against the man. He
regretted the trouble the sheriff had
taken, but could not find it in his
heart to work still greater hardship
on the woman and children by taking
the man away from them for the
many years he would have to serve
as punishment or his crime. So after
giving the worthless fellow one OF the
seyerest rakings man ever got, and II
is hoped, putting little ambition into
him, as well as wholesome fear OF
the law for such as he, the party re-
turned to Wadsworth and Sheriff
