BRUTAL CRIME BROUGHT TO
LIGHT BY GRUESOME FIND

GARDNERVILLE, New, July 90
The murdered body of an unknown
mar was found lying near a stable at
Wellington last night and today the
officers of Douglas county are search
ing for the murderers. The man was
dressed in a khaki suit of clothes and
was from all appearances a mining
man, but his pockets had been rihed
and there was nothing to show his
identity or occupation. The motive
of the murder was probably robbery,
as everything had teen taken from his
clothing and his trousers pockets had
been turned wrong side out.
The man had a large hole in the side
of his head and it looks as if he had
been struck in the head with a blunt
instrument.
When found the body was lying by
the side of n barn and was covered
with a blanket. There were blood
stains leading from the barn to a wag.
on near by, and in the wagon were
large blood stains, showing that the
body had been taken from the wagon.
Shortly before the body was discov-
crfd a prospector was seen to leave
town and strike for the hills. and it
is now thaought theat he is the urder-
or. The officers are looking for the
man and if caught he will be brought
back to Wellington.

RAILROAD MEN SAY
THEY CAN'T LIVE

From the Reno Journal.
One of the reasons the Southern
Pacific company is erecting an eating
house on the Hartman reserve, accord
ing to Assistant Division Superintend
tnt Rowlands. is that the restaurants
in Sparks do not sell the railroad crews
o that viii sustain them on the
trying trips on the road.
"Men have to be fed well to per
form the duties required of them in
the railroad business said Mr.. Row
lands. "The men constantly come in
here and complain that the menu Of
the meal ticket resorts is too poor for
proper nourishmept. That il one of
the reasons the railroad is
constructing a cafe on the site there
hes de the main line"
Passengers as well as railroad men
will he fed at the restaurant. The
cafe will DC built on the ground now
occupied by the section house. Work

81 RATE ON COAL
FROM COAST

RENO, July 26.-Division Freight
and Passenger Agent f. w. Clapp Of
the Southern Pacific company tocay
received from General Freight Agent
George w. Luce of the Southern Pa
cifc a telegram stating that in re-
Spouse to the request of the Nevada
Commercial leagae and the efforts cf
Mr.. Clapp the company would grant
a rate Of 81 per ton on coal from San
Franc SEQ and the Oakland wharf. The
securing of this rate was brought
about by the continual efforts OF the
n tvada Commercial league, + w.
Clapp and the Gazette. The company
had been hauling coal to Reno from
San Francisco and Oakland for $50.
but on account of the high price Of
the imported coal shipped from these
points the fuel deal RS of ibis city
could not handle this coal at such high
freight rates. The matter was laid
before the Nevada Commercial ! aguc
and also before Agent Clapp, who Inn
mediately took the matt T
up with the company with the follow
ing result:
The people of Reno wiz now be
able to secure plenty of coal from
the coast and at a cost Of not more
than $40 a ton.
Although it has been stated on ru-
merous occasions that the coal mines
of Salt Lake and Wyoming could not
supply the fuel dealers of this city
with coal, it is known that two cars
Of coal were received today by local
dealers from Rock Springs, Wyo., and
earlier in the week the University Of
Nevada rec lived a carload from the
same place.
Besides securing the rate above
mentioned on coal fr,m san Francisco
Agent Clapp is now ncgot ating with
the officials of the company for a ch ap
freight rate for this city that will
make Reno a distributing point This
rate is practically assured. and II will.
be only a short time until IL is put
into effect.
The rate on 'orl from San Fran.

for at least a month.

MAKING A BALLOON.
Precautions Taken to Keep the G7S
Bag From Destruction,


1t may interest the reader to hear
something about the construction of q
big modern balloon and Its equipments.
1t Is made Of what Is known AS bal
loon cloth, which sometimes Is of silk
and Is sewed In small sections OF about
a yard square, SO that If one of the sec
tons should burst the whole balloon
would not collapse and destroy the
aeronaut.
At the top Of the bag is the valve to
let the gas out when one wishes to de-
scend, A rope for opening 1t runs from
this valve through the center of the
balloon to the operator In the basket.
and this Is left always open. so that
when the gas expands from the heat of
the sui or the lesser pressure of high
attitudes the gas may escape and not
burst the envelope.
Al soon as the balloon is sewed to-
gether 1t is blown full Of air and given
three coats of varnish. Each coat must
be allowed to dry thoroughly before
the next Is applied. or else they would
never become perfectly dry. and the
balloon would be likely to be destroyed
at any minute from spontaneous com
bustion. This spontaneous combustion
Is not a bursting into flame. but a kind
of exceedingly quick dry rot. | myself
have lost three balloons through ii.
Once In my factory we were looking at
a beauty when some one shifted the
air and remarked, Thomas balloon Is
gone" And 70 1t proved to be. Five
minutes saw 1t destroyed-rotten SO
that you could poke your finger through
1t.
Sometimes the balloon is so affected

make an ascension thinking his bal.
loon Is all right. Protected by the fine
netting which envelopes the balloon It.
self. he may even get up to some height
before discovering his danger. In for.
mer times there were many fatal acci.
dents from this cause.
When a balloon is packed, talcum or
some other powder Is sprinkled over
the folds to keep them from adhering
to each other. II this is neglected the
balloon will be ruined. especially In hot
weather.
AS ! said. a fine netting covers the
balloon proper both to strengthen It
and to carry the weight of the basket
and Its contents. All the strands OF
the netting come together In the con
centratipg ring" Just above the basket,
In which the aeronaut stands. The an

All modern balloons, besides the

means of which the balloon can he cut

Mrs. Thorngate was troubled, too, and

Audrey felt panied and full of sympathy.

CHAPTER XVIII.

1t was a week since they had carried
away all that remained of the once hand
some, merry young Lord Iverne and
buried him with pomp and solemnity in
the Marlborough vault. A telegram had
winged it's flight across the ocean to Mel
bourne. from whence Mr.. Sampson had
received a curt announcement of John
Glendurwood's safe ARRIVAL telegram
briefly giving the sad news of one broth
sr's death to another, but no answer had
been vouchsafed. and the lawyer could
not but entertain strong doubts as to
whether the new Marquis of Iyerne was
gone still further on his travels. and so
their message was unread.
Craigands was very sad in those days.
The duchess seemed to break down alto
gether after her sons death. Yet, despite
all this. she was gentle and kind to Au-
drey beyond description she could not
have given the girl more love IL she had
been her own child. They were quiet
days, and peaceful, and Audrey found
many little duties TO perform which help
ed to make the hours fly. She was very
pale and delicate, but she refused to al
low Jean to consider her an invalid and
was never weary of fitting about the
duchess, eager to do all and anything in
her power to alleviate the sorrow which
was expressing the mothers heart. The
only distraction was Willie Fullerton
weekly visits, when his breezy, happy
manner seemed to change the very atmos-
phere.
Snow had fallen heavily and it lay on
the ground during the whole month OF
January and onward. Despite this, how
ever, Audrey would persist in going out
as much as possible.
