cRAZED ON THE DESERT.
Woman Wanders Aimlessly Looking
for Goidfield Wealth.


An aged woman whose name Is un-
known, crazed by the stories of the
gold discoveries in the Tonopah dis
trict, started for Goldfield penniless,
was put off the train and later found
roaming about the desert raving MI
MAC
This is the sad story told by relia-
BILE Reno citizens upon their return
from Tonopah last evening, who learn
ed the facts from reliable sources yes
terday afternoon on the train out
from Sodaville.
Before she was captured in her
frenzy; she had attempted to kill two
children and when pursued by the au-
thorities, hid away in lumber pile
and at first refused to come out, claim
ing that the pile of lumber was her
castle and that she had the right to
remain in it unmolested by those who
were attempting her capture.
She had wandered about the desert
until she was almost exhausted and
the state of her malady was aggrava-
ted from continual suffering and
thirst When finally captured she
was placed in charge Of train crew
and taken to Hawthorne where she
will be examined for insanity
It appeas that the woman boarded
train on the Carson & Colorado line
yesterday morning without cent on
her person with the avowed purpose of
seeking her fortune in the gold mines
near Goldfield When the conductor
approached her for her fare she talk
ed incOherently though giving him to
understand that when she Should
make her fortune in the gold fields
she would return and pay him.
At Luning, a number of miles east
of Hawthorne, she was elected from
the train. The people of that place,
not knowing the facts paid no atten-
ton to the woman. She struck out
in the supposed direction of the gold
fields, wandering several miles into
the desert.
She finally came upon homestead
ers camp and attacked the two child
rem near the place. Every indication
led to the belief that she was trying
to kill them for some ina ginary pur-
pose. The children escaped, however
and reported the matter to their par
ents who secured the assistance II
neighbors who attempted to catch the
old woman.
She taxed her last energy in a de.
perate run for a pile of lumber be
longing to a settler and took refuge
in this. When the citizens came upon
her she made desperate fight, claim
ing that she was in her own castle
and that she had right to defend ii
against .ler pursuers.
When finally overpowered, the luna
tic was taken to Luning, where she
was turned over to the train crew am
taken back to Hawthorne, the county
seat of Esmeralda county, from whic1
place she will doubtless be sent =
the State Asylum for the insane.
Her malady was recently acquired
and it is believed that she may re
cover.-Journal

Drunken Brawls.

Have we day set apart for drunken
carousals and revelries, for reeling
around the streets, for obscene and
foul language? Is the day we call
Sunday to be used for purposes above
stated and worse, or have we a law
abiding people who will rise up in
righteous wrath and put down this
evil? 1t is common occurrence of
late to see men reeling along Main
street on Sunday, looking for fights
and getting them, accosting ladies and
all passersby with indecent words,
and belying the name of man.
1t is a shame and disgrace to our
fair village that such condition of
things should exist. And how is II
that 1T does so existg Through whis.
key: and where does the whiskey come
from on Sunday? Are not all bars
supposed to be tightly closed on this
day? Either stock of the stuff is
laid in Saturday by these offenders or
they know of way to get it on sun.
day.
Much has been said by our citizens
in regard to this matter and if the
practise of Sunday lawbreaking is not
soon stopped, complaint will be made
and the guilty persons will be placed
where the law will be enforced every
day and Sunday too.

Freaks of Lightning.

On Sunday afternoon last the worst
rain and electric storm of the season
visited this section and did a great
deal of damage in Brockway, Speaker
and Lynn townships. The village also
suffered loss by the storm. Lightning
struck the brick chimney of the roller
mill and cracked it from top to bottom.
Masons are busy rebuilding it this
week. About the same time a bolt of
lightning played havoc upstairs in VIM.
V, Andreae's residence on First street.
Like Santa Claus, entrance was made
to the house down the chimney. Luck
lily the fluid passed out without setting
fire to the building. Other damage
done was two hay stacks burned for
James Skiffington north and east of
here. A barn on the farm of JAS Ster-
ling in Lynn township was consumed
together with the contents-about 500
bushels of grain-belonging to Beck
Morgan who works the place. A horse
was killed for John Bullock in Lynn,
and cow for Robt II. Willoughby of
same township. Joseph Carless of this
township found sheep dead after the
storm
