ALTERATION OF MIND.
Warren Davis Wanders From the Rich

Spends Night in Mountains, Final
Iy Reaching Home of His Mother
in This City at Night.

Warren Davis, the young sheep
shearer reported as having wandered
away from the camp at Richardson's
ranch and been lost in the mountains,
is at the home of his mother in his
city. He left the camp Friday night,
claiming that the Mexican shearers in
the camp were trying to kill him. He
became lost in the darkness and did
not reach home until late Saturday
night.
Ike Trout, the companion of Davis,
and who slept with him in a tent, says
the young man told him Friday night
he could feel the spell coming on him.
and believed his Mexican companions
were trying to kill him. Trout
tried to disabuse him of any in
%tention on the part of his companions
to kill him and get him to bed. Davis
left the tent and Trout went to the
cabin, locking the door, afraid that
Davis. who had his shears in his hand,
would assault him. That was the last
seen of the young man until he showed
up at the home of his mother in this
city. He is under the care of a ply
sician today.

The department of the girls and

to their parents and their country.

take them to the cemetery:

Admiral Dewey on the Battle.

Washington, D. c., May 29.-"It's
the beginning of the end; I can e no
other outcome than that Russia will
sue for peace" This was Admiral
Dewey's comment when shown the re-
port of the losses sustained by Rojest,
vensky. Its my opinion" he con,
tinued, that the victory of the Jap
anese may be attributed to their train.
ing and preparedness. Doubtless they
exhibited the same spirit they carried
with them in a%ssaulting Port Arthur
Such evidences as we have seen would
indicate that the Japanese achieved
their victory by hurting torpedo boats
against the Russians. Still we cannot
ascribe their success to this alone. 1t
is not to be supposed that two battle
ships we're surrendered to torpedo
boats"

FROM WEIGHING MACHINE.

Mr.. w. H.. Barton of Ogden, the
travelling auditor for the railroad com.

among the effects of the office more
than a pound Of bits of lead, imitation
coins, brass beer checks, buttons and
wheels from "a watch, which had been
used in working the weighing ma
chine at the depot. The things worked
all right, and when Mr.. Breisch would
go to take account of the cash, he
would find these and place them in his
collection. The same things would
be tried on the chewing gum machine,
but could not be made to work there,
the only bogus pieces in that machine
being copper cents with holes in them.
several of which were found. The
trinkets are kept in the office as heir
looms. 1t is said these slot machines
are worked at every station where
they have been placed.

How News Was Received.

Washington, d. c., May 29.-The
state department received further Of
fcial news today Of the great victory
Of the Japanese. The first reliable In
formation arrived yesterday at noon
from the American consul at Nagasaki,
saying that Togo had sunk six war
ships In the Straits of Korea. This
news quickly spread and created pretty
general satisfaction in civil and Of
ficial circles. The president was at
once informed and the news was also
instantly flashed to all the clients OF
the Western Press association. Late
ut night another dispatch came from
Toxic, saying that sixteen Russian
vessels had been sunk or captured by
Togo's squadron. This news was au'
lucrative, but not Official. In fact,
neither the government at Toxic northe
government at st. Petersburg sent out
4 line concerning the great battle until
this morning, when Admiral Togo's
omcial report was made public. Moth
ing. however. up to noon today has
been heard from st. Petersburg. except
The fact that the news ID known there.
This circumstance is fl accordance
with Admiral Rojestvensky's words to
his government when he entered the
forisn waters. He said: III I am vic
torious l shall inform you. II ! an
v~andhshed, Togo will inform you"

must speed the end of the a Re-
ports from the Paris bourse this morn
ing show this belief so strong that
there was a firmness in the market. 1t
is generally believed. too. that the gov
eminent at Washington has signiied
its willingness to act as mediator, and
the end Of the val is, therefore, regard
ed as in sight.

First News by Way of Washington.
St. Petersburg, May 29.-The public
is amazingly Indifferent and quiet, in
view of the disastrous fight in the
Korean straits. The result of the bat
tie is becoming gradually known. In
naval circles the statement that Roj'
estvensky's fleet was practically ami
hilated is not believed. Considerable
sentiment adverse to the United States
is noticeable, largely because the first
news of the Japanese victory came via
