Irene Jester is Unsuccessful Last Night in Ter
Attempt to Commit Self-Destruction.

With the intention of committing
suicide, irene lester, a resident OF
1.-THE Oaks, on Corona avenue, drank
the contents of a small vial con-
tanning laudanum, last evening, and
her life was only saved by the
prompt arrival of physicians.
The attempt at self destruction
occurred in the wine room at the
Hotel Manhattan about O'Clock.
Miss Jester entered the building
. from the rear entrance and ordered
a drink from the bartender On
being served she asked permission
to remain there a few minutes,
which was granted. Proprietor NJ.
d. Madden visited the room after an
absence of about ten minutes and
was startled to find the young wo-
man with her face lying on the
table. He shook her and, receiving
no answer, hastily called Drs. Cow
den and Clark Both physicians
hurried to the hotel and had tht
young woman carried into one oi
the rooms. After an hour of hare

came i'll. She came up town about
$50 and visited the Miners drug
store, where she purchased the lau !
anum. She gave as reasons that 1t
was to be used for toothache. On
being asked her name by the drug
clerk, she gave the information that
she was Marion Crawford, and want
ed the poison for a Miss Jessie. y
These entries were made in the poi
son register. Who Miss Jesse hap
pens to be is unknown, for there is
no girl in the Oaks by that name.
At this time she appeared entirely
unconcerned and by no act did she
convey an intimation that she was
to use the laudanum in an attempt
at self destruction. The. poison was
purchased, according to the regis
ter, at 5:45 O'Clock, and it appears
that the girl Immediately made hsI
way to the wine room of the Man
haitian, where she attempted the
act. Scraps of what appeared to be
torn letter were found scattered
on the floor, but when patched III
they proved to be a doctors bill.
Late last night when she had full
" regained her senses she refused
to give any reason for drinking the
poison, and added that she woui'
make another attempt at the frs
opportunity.

JOE LANE bids
ADIEU TO COUNTY
CHAIN GANG
MAKES HIS GETAWAY YESTER-
DAY WHILE AT WORK ON
BALL GROUNDS

Joe Lane broke into the county
Jail about ten days ago, when he
raised rough house in the White
Front saloon because he refused to
pay for a round of drinks. Yester-
day Joe broke out of the jail be-
cause he wanted a drink. His term
was for IS days, which would have
been reduced as he was an active
member of the chain gang.
While at work on the ball ground
yesterday in company with three
other prisoners, Lane asked Deputy
Ed Harmer for permission to go -
the Tonopah dairy to secure a drink
of water. His request was granted
and that was the last Hammer saw
of the prisoner. Lane, after secur-
ing the drink, must have decided
that the chain gang had no charms
for him, and struck out for parts
unknown He did not even stop tC
say goodbye or leave a FORWARDING
address for his mail.
| When Harmer discovered that he
| was a man shy, he returned with
the rest of his charges to the sher-
| ifs office. Notice was sent out AMI
all the surrounding towns AMI
camps will be watched. 1t is prob
able that Lane hit the trail for Gold
field, and if so he stands an excel
lent chance of returning to the Ho
tel de Owens, for Mike Catalan hA;
instructed his deputies to keep {
sharp lookout for the wanted per
| son.

RUMORED THAT
MASKED Man Seen
ON STREETS
1T Is BELIEVED THAT PRAC-
TICAL JOKER ATTEMPTS TO
SCARE FRIENDS

There was a rumor afoat yester-
day that a man wearing a mask
over his features was seen on the
back streets of Tonopah Wednes-
day evening. The police department
when interviewed stated that they
had heard nothing concerning the
story and had not been Informed of
any hold-ups. 1t is possible, if the
rumor was true, that the mask may
have been donned by some practical
joker in an endeavor to create a
scare. If the joker again attempts
the trick, and runs up against the
wrong person, he will stand good
chance of occupying slab No. l IN
the morgue, while certain portions
of his anatomy will resemble per-
forations surrounded by flesh. The
''hold-up" joke has been attempted
in other communities and invariably
results in the fun maker stopping .

A GOOD ONE

A good joke on an editor who
went one evening to report a part
at home recently blessed with a
new baby. He met his hostess at
the door and after the usual salu-
tations he asked after the baby's
health. The lady, who was quite
deaf and suffering with the grippe,
thought he was asking after her
cold and answered that although
she usually had one every winter
this was the worst she had ever
had; it kept her awake at night a
good deal and at first confined hei
to her bed. Then, noticing that the
newspaper man was getting ner'
vous, she said she could tell by his
looks that he was going to have one
just like hers, and asked him to &c
in and sit down.

JAP BILL
PASSED
Gov. Gillett Says Wishes of
Federal Authorities Will
Be Respected.

Sacramento. Cal, Jan. 21-Gov Gil
lett repeated today that there was to
be no legislation against the Japan
csc. so far as he could see. at this
session Of the Legislature. He has de-
cidcd to address the members of the
legislative body in special message.
nor does he deem such action nece5-
sary. in view of the wide publicity OF
the wishes of thefederal authority.
The governor has received a letter
from Secretary Root bearing upon the
Japanese question, but declines to
make it public on the ground that
Secretary Root considers the communi-
cation of confidential character. as
have several other letters on the same
subject that the secretary has sent
the governor within the last few
days.
Assemblyman Grove l. Johnsons
bin providing for the segregation of
Japanese within municipalities was
favorably reported today, but all such
measures will be held in abeyance
until next Wednesday morning for
which day they are special order
1t is said upon reliable authority
that even should all the anti-Japan-
csc measures pass the assembly the
senate will not endorse them. and as
the governor has declared himself
against them there seems little likeli-
hood of their becoming laws.
The bills now before the assembly
segregate Japanese residentially as
we'll as educationally and prohibit
their owning land or being directors
of corporations.
