Threatens Suicide.

A new and startling development in
the case of one of the condemned men
who is shortly to be hanged at the
Nevada State Prison in Carson City,
has come to light. 1t is learned that
the mother of Roberts is Mrs. Reidt,
who resides in st. Louis. She has made
a signed statement that she will COM
NIT suicide if Roberts, whose real name
is Ted Reidt, is hanged. The records
at st. Louis show that Reidt was born
in 1886 and he is therefore only 10 years
of age.

While the TWO great southern
camps. Goldfeld and Bullfrog, have
been absorbing the interest Of the
general public, the very best ex-
merits of the country have quickly

two great camps with most astonish-
mo results, says the Carson News.

A LADY
win Make PeriIOus Trip Across
Death Valley.

f"NH FfhsN3
There was a big crowd around the
Merchants hotel Sunday morning
last, when Miss Lillian X. Malcolm,
mounted On her trusty sorrel steed,
started on "a prospecting trip across
Death Valley to the Panamint.
And Of course the crowd was az
curious as it was large-eurious to
see the lady prospector, who was
to start on a trip that has not always
been made without loss of lille even by
Strong, robust manhood.
Miss Malcolm did not betray ap.
%preheusion, even il she felt it. On
the contrary she was smiling and
happy, and said to . reporter that
Death Valley had no terrors for her.
The lady ~prospector" obtained
most of her prospecting trosseau in
Bullfrog. Her hair was braided and
tied il numerous labor saving knots
with white baby ribbon. This rather
fantastic effect formed the back
ground for a face that may be called
pretty, but which is certain TO lose
much Of its feminine d~elicacy and
Wilderness ere the suns rays Of Death
Valley get through with it, especially
as the lig%ht.colored felt hat that the
Gladly prospector - wore was narrow
brimmed. Miss Malcolm's dress was
not as long as the conventional lady's
riding habit, but it easily formed a
safe junction with the tops Of the tan
colored mems boots thai she wore,
She also had a pair of mems khaki
pants, which she would don when she
got out a ways"
Miss Malcolm's fellow prospectors
are Tom McCabe, George Peget and
Anthony McCauley. The party took
four horses aud four mules, two Of
the latter being packed heavily with
Supplies. They calculate to stay Out
two or three months, during which
time the Pauamint will he prospected
thoroughly.
Tom McCabe aud George Pegel
are old time prospectors and know
the country they are going to very
well. Anthony McCauley is a news.

entertainments given in Grand juno
ton on the anniversary Of the birth
OF Washington was the entertainment
Of the local lodge of the Order of

members.
The program was a varied one, and
was decidedly interesting and enter
tanning Addresses were made by
Mr.. Bell. president of the PaIisade
lodge, and Mr.. Powell. past president
of the Paiisade lodge. Paul de la
Mar of the local lodge delivered a
short address. Two or three other
short talks were made. Mrs. Baker
al the piano rendered several excel
lent selections A solo by Mrs. Paul
de la Mar was most delightful There
were several excellent recitations.
Following the program, games of
many kinds furnished the keenest en-
! ioyment
The refreshments served during
the evening were most delicious and
were served in a most admirable
manner
1t was after O'Clock when the
gaities of the evening we're brought
to conclusion. 1t proved an occas-
ion of the greatest pleasure for all
present and the entertainment was
decidedly one of the most auspicious
events in the social calendar of the
popular order. Those who had the
affair in charge are to be congratu-
lated upon the complete success of
the celebration
The Order of Washington is rapid
y growing in strength in Grand
