Further Details Regarding the Drown
ing Of the Two Men.
| Word was received in this city yes
terday stating that the bodies of the
two men, Munroe and Odds, had been
recovered from Mud lake. where the
two unfortunate men met their death
the day before.
The bodies were found in about eight
! feet of water and in the hole whece
the men had broken through the ice
One body was under the ice, while the
the other was half submerged in the
ice and frozen in from the freeze IF
the night temperature.
, There was no one present when the
terrible accident occurred The acct
dent was discovered late in the after
noon by a passing teamster, who no.
ticed two hats On the bank of the
lake. When he approached the spot
two guns were also found aside the
hats. Upon looking onto the lake, C
large hole was shown where the ice
two men could be seen on the ice,
which was in a rotten condition.
He hurried to Gardnerville, where
the alarm was spread, and word was
sent over the valley and to Markle-
vile, where it was found that Oils
and Munroe had gone on a hunting
trip to the lake When they failed to
return, it was known that it was the
two men who were in the lake and a
party was formed and hurried to the
scene.
Just how the accident occurred vii!
never be known, only from the indica-
lions that are to be found on the ice
A dead duck in the pond is supposed
to lead to the best explanation. 1t is
now the supposition that one of the
men killed the duck and went after
it, the other remaining on the shore
when the first man broke in and tbs
other went TO MS rescue. HOW lous
they struggled against death will new
err be known, but from the amount o
ice that was broken in the endeavol
to reach shore, it must have been some
time, or until the chiHed water an,
exertion wore them out.
The affair has thrown a pail Owe

THE CITY NUMBERS.
Will Probably Be Here During tn.
Week.

The numbers for the streets, or
more properly the signs for the street
corners, are expected to arrive in this
city any day, as the City Trustees
sent an order some time ago for them.
The style selected is made of alumni
mum, which, it is believed, will wear
longer and give better satisfaction
in the long run.
The city Is to arrange for the plac-
ing Of these signs. On every corner
they will be posted and then the citi-
zen will know where he lives and the
street and avenue will be before the
visitor. Then comes the duty Of the
citizen; that of properly numbering
his or her residence. In speaking to
the Mayor in regard to this, he sail.
CAS- far as l know, the number is
not compulsory, but We believe for the
good Of the town that it should be
the duty of the people to adopt it. The
reason that an ordinance was not
passed compelling the people to num-
Der their houses, was that we believed
in giving them a chance to take action
on their own account. There has been
a general desire and demand for the
action that has been taken by the
City Trustees and now it is in the
hands of the people to see that the rest
of the work is perfected,
When the street signs are posted
the people can then commence num-
bering A schedule will be furnished
it will be a simple and very inexpen-
sive affair if the party so desires. Of
course any kind of numbering will
be alright, as it is not the desire Of
the trustees to dictate regarding the
matter We all believe that by follow
ing out the plan, that better results
will some about and that it will save
great deal of confusion, especially
to one who is looking for home that
is not personally known to them
When the work commence it shOu1
be carried out as soon as possible il
order that everything may be uniform
and every Home be located as intend
ed"
It is the plan of the trustees tt
place the signs in position as soon as
the material arrives.

DIED ON THE DESERT.
Number Of Bodies Found in Southern
Nevada,

NumOer OF 6oClcS CunS IN southern
The bodies of several men who ha l
persisted from thirst while attempting
to cross the desert between Moapa and
Vegas Summit, New, have been found
within a few weeks, according to ad-
vices received from the latter place
recently. The men were mostly tramps
who attempted to make the long jour
ney on foot without sufficient supply
of food and water to carry them across
Last week a party crossing the des
ert found the body of an unknown
man lying by the road about twenty
miles from the Vegas ranch. The re-
mains had been mutilated beyond re
cognition by coyotes, but from the
general appearance of the body and
clothing it was evident that the man
was railroad laborer. 1t was after
wards learned that he left Moapa with
only a single bottle of water and
pocketfull of provisions to last him
across sixty-five miles of desert sands.
During the winter months many ho-
boes attempt to cross the desert to
reach the sunny climes of Southern
California. 1t is said that not more
than one-third of these who make the
attempt ever reach the California side.
Being unacquainted with the nature Of
the country they are about to cross
the men do not make adequate pre-
parations for the journey and many
perish from hunger and thirst.
Almost in the center of the vast des,
ert is a well 125 feet deep. The well
was dug some years ago by rancher
at Los Vegas at an expense OF 50 per
foot -
The water in the well is salty and
brackish, and while it will tenn ,orarilv
