LAS Vegas in the Desert

What Las Vegas i'll the desert
is today, i'll its drapery OF dust
and it's sweat of endeavor; with
its mansions of airy canvas,
white under the heat of the mid
day sun, and ghostly white
under the CLEAN of the midni ght
stars, that Salt Lake CITY was
less than sixty years ago-that
also Denver was less than fifty
years ago-that also Boise, now
one OF the little jewel cities OF
the West, iii the midst of far
stretching orchards emboWered
in roses and vines, the beau tilul
garden spot OF Idaho was in
1862, the summer when the rich
est placers ever discovered III the
United States were found in the
mountains near bv-that also
Phoenix by the Rio Glla was in
1868 or thereaboutS, when a
handful of miners with their
families, weary of the mountains
and the drouth, came down to
the plains and planted the set
tlement by the ella, which they
said they would make and which
they have made, the capital and
the metropolis OF Arizona,
With such examples of great
and swift accomplishments be
fore our minds, the hopes of this
magic city of Las Vegas SO loud
" touted today seem far from
groundless They were in truth
better grounded than were the
hopes of any of the other cities
named at the day of their plant
ing .-Fitz- Mac in Denver Post.

Locates on Capitol Grounds.

Visitors at the state well
yesterday were surprised when
they noted that the ground that
the State claims for its executive
buildings was filed on by Abe
Cohn as a placer mining claim,
such is the case and the location
takes in all of that particular
territory and extends as far as
the government building. The
reason given for the procedure
was the discovery of gold in the
sands that came from the well.
After posting his notice a crowd
gathered and there was a lively
discussion as to whether Mr.
Cohn can hold the ground. Some
contend that he can, as there is
no mineral patent and 1T is surely
on state ground. Others say
that Attorney General Sweeney
will evict the intruder on the
grounds of trespass. = Carson

AN IN-HUMAN
ACT
Nearly Causes Another
Tragedy of the
Desert

What appears to have been
one of the most inhuman acts of
man against man occurred last
Saturday on the desert six mics
from District ATTORNEY ". c.
Grimes home, when an individ-
ual known as Dad Renshaw,
who is we'll known around town,
beat his aged companion = Arm
strong, and left him insensible, at
the point mentioned to die from
contact with the elements, unless
rescued by others.
From the stories it appears
that both parties have been en-
gagged for some time past III pros
pectinA i'll the vicinity of Eagle
vile, and that they formed a
party Fallon bound, riding i'll
Renshaw's one-horse rig, who
states that they met a Jolly party
of EaglevilIe-bound prospectors
at Sand Springs, where all i'll.
dulged more or less of liquor.
After resuming their homeward
trip the victim of the affair is
said to have become abusive,
and RenshaW states that he
found it necessary to throw him
out of the rig and continue his
journey.
After spending the night at the
Grimes ranch he informed Mrs.
Grimes, in a cool, matter of-tact
way, that he left a man on the
desert some six miles distant,
and that perhaps it would be
best for someone to go tnd see
about him. Mrs. Grimes did
every thing she could to get Rem
shaw to return and look after
his companions welfare but to
no avail, and the latter resumed
his journey to this city. In the
meantime Mrs. Grimes nephew,
Eugene Roach, had come to the
house from his work, and to-
gether they went to the place
where the INJURED man was lying
and found him in a pitable con
dition. His tongue was swollen
and protruding from his mouth,
and he had lost all consciousness.
Finding it impossible to handle
the unfortunate man word was
sent by telephone to the sheriff's
office in this city and Deputy
Sheriff Mamie Sanford, accom-
panied by County Clerk w. H.
Brown, left Immediately and
brought Armstrong to this city
where he is now undergoing
treatment. The attending ply
sician stated that in his opinion
IL hours more would have
sufficed to have driven away the
spark oflife, and another tragedy
of the desert would have been
added to the innumerable ones
of the past, through the criminal
carelessness of a man who now
enjoys citizen rights, through
the inability of the state statutes
to specifically define punish
ment for the crime committed,
for no one who kno VS. the cir
cumstances doubts but that a
crime was committed,

following which he began drink
ing and gambling Jerome
Ponce, a a1oulette wheel man in

lin Inc ireey hearing was had on
the same day, at which time he
was remanded to appear before

heen unable to furnish surety.
In statement made to the Off

ing which the checks were cash

him, and that drunkenness was
the cause of the whole affair.
He is very penetent, and express
es great regret that the affair
should have occurred. So far

ROOSEVELT A POPULAR FRENCH
 HERO.

No Foreigner Has Ever So Won the
 French Heart as Has Our Strenuous
 President.
 Of our modern Presidents only two Lincoln and Grant-ever attracted French attention-and the circun- stance Of war made them known. For MT. Roosevelt the ink has flowed in torrents. Not only do the newspapers relate his exploits-whether he kills a bear or goes down in 8 submarine boat but they are also avid of his opin- ions, and interviews with him (unfor- tunately, not always true) are dis- played with great prominence on the l first pages of the big dailies.
 Pictures of MT. Roosevelt as arough rider, as 8 cowboy, or talking from the everywhere in the European press. Nor should I like to say how many books have been written about him. Roosevelt Intime," work of three hundred pages, in which the story of his foreeful life is graphically told, has reached all the reading homes 0 1 France: and hs own books-notably La Vie Intense"~have followed. know of no other book that has had so 1 wide an influence in latter days. Young France, especially, Is interested in the sudden and formidable up-build- ing of her sister republic; and the cause of this growth she has sought wisely enough, in MT. Roosevelt s books, in those on the Far West, and especially in the one whose title l have quoted in French, "The Strenuous Life." So it comes to pass that two American writers are pretty ciuse to the French heart-Mr. Roosevelt and their old, familiar friend, Mark Twain" In other words, the President is known in France. It did not require ! the epoch~making treaty of peace, which the world owes him, to make him one of the great figures of contempora- ry history.
 When anything goes wrong in French public affairs, the publicists knock the government about the ears with that better President oversee. Here is a good illustration for example:
 If man such as President Roose- welt came to live among us for three months as a private citizen, having to undergo all those accidental relations with the administration which daily life imposes on us, he would quickly refuse to believe in the existence or a republic in France, and would return to his country convinced that we are incapable of ever possessing real liber- ty."
 In such words Monsieur Emile Dan thesse expresses at once his opinion of MT. Roosevelt and his patriotic discon- tent. Indeed, these are pleasant days in France for an American; go where he will, he hears good word of his President, and now and then, the con1- plimentary If we had such a man!' And, when men get together in Paris for what purpose it does not seem to matter greatly-the first thing they do is to send a message of some sort to the White House. The other day it was congress of physicians, studying tuberculosis; they telegraphed the "ex- pression of their respectful and cordi-

FAITH OF THE MussuLMAN.

ALI II on. 11E MUSSu LYMAN.
 A traveller in Africa writes This is land of religion. The Mussulman's devotion is intense, ever present and all prevailing, being not an accessory tackled on, as it were, to his life, to be practioed more or les surTeptitiously, but an essential part, wherewith and wherein he lives at all times, A Mus sulnan prays openly and publicly, in no wise afraid to be seen. Every man wears his string of beads whereon he records the number of his daily pray CTS. Notwithstanding its~~to us-unin- viting appearance, the religion has made and still is making great strides in Africa. and one can onl yattribute this to the fact that here at last is a religion of which its adherents are in no way ashamed. It offers to the faithful that absolute assurance of sal vation and engenders that blind, un- hesitating faith therein which is so comforting to the native mind.
 Seeing a crowd of pilgrims bound for Mecca patiently, nay, with pleas ure, enduring the worst treatment that one could imagiSe meted out to herds of driven slaves, one envies the excess / of faith that can engender such a dis position, Though robbed, slain, straw ed, herded with pestilence and sub jected to countless hardships and an- noyanees, yet year after year they come, from far and near, thousands and tens of thousands strong on this, the most wonderful and far-reaching of latter day pilgrimages.
 At Jeddah one sees pilgrims from all corners of the globe-Dutch sub jects from Java, Chinese from Picking, shiploads from India and farther h. dia, Russian subjects from all parts of the great empire, French subjects from Algiers, from Morocco, and dusky ne- groes who have tramped for months from the western shores of Africa through many lands and midst many tongues they come, all to meet at this thronged center of the maelstrom of the Mussulman faith.
