Poisoned
special pispatch Q &c caIi.

VIRGINIA CITY. New. Sept. 3--The
police authorities here and those OF other
cities in the western part OF Nevada are
making an assiduous search for Or. John

has disappeared from his nome at Over
ton. leaving his family. and who Is de-
clared to have been accompanied in his
fight by Mrs. Charles Calvin. a widow.
who was formerly Miss Martin OF Car
son City.
The sudden departure OF johnson and
the woman has furnished a basis for SEN
sational reports that the two were in
scme manner responsible for the taking
OF Of Calvin, and it is chiefly because OF
this allegation that the officers have made
a special effort to apprehend them
Several months ago Calvin was taken
I'll and died very soon afterward.
Johnson was the physician In at
tendance. and 1t Is said that he paid con-
siderable attention to the wife during the
serious sickness Of her husband
After the death Of Calvin the physician
and the widow were much In each other 8
company. Their departure was entirely
unexpected and the people Of OvertOn
were shocked because Johnson held a lu-
crative and responsible position at the
mills and was a prominent figure in the
social life Of Overton. He had bright
and interesting family. and TO all appear
ances was an attentive and devoted hus-
band and father.
The deserted WIFE who is the daugh-
ter Of Judge Jones OF Austin, Is most
estimabIe woman and has the sympathy
of the entire community Of Hobart Mills,
where she is very popular.
The body OF Calvin may be exhumed
in order that the contents of the stomach
