the pipe of peace, thus ending all class
enmity and feuds.
The button is one which has been in

most laughter in his class. Originally
it was a tin affair, but it has been
remodeled until but little of the orig

out. No one knows what it contains,
but it is supposed to be the Pandora

smoked to soothe ali difficulties which
may have arisen.

PETTY COMMITS SUICIDE
Degenerate Murderer Cheats
the Callows.

Having lost all hope of clemency for
his crime of wife murder, and the day
of his execution rapidly approaching,
c c. Petty, on last Monday evening,
spectacularly leaped to an instant death
in the yard of the Nevada state prison.
While being out with three other
convicts for his daily exercise under the
care of a guard, Petty carefully watched
for his opportunity, and before anyone
realized his intention he ran to look
out pole beside one of the buildings and
began climbing it rapidly. Paying no
heed to the orders of the guards, he
soon reached the top of the pole, where
straining every muscle for moment, he
hurled himself head foremost to the
ground, a distance of 80 feet, with the
result that his head and face were
crushed beyond recognition and death
was instantaneous.
He might have been killed by any
number of guards, but it is against the
prison rules to shoot a man who is con-
uenneu 10 NlG. IlCilCC dpOul an tliS-
guards could do was to watch horror
stricken while he deliberately ended his
life. The warden and officers have been
exonerated from any blame in connec-
ton with the affair.
The case of Petty was one of the most
notorious that has occurred i'll this state
in years and has aroused widespread
attention He murdered his wife i'll
Sparks about eighteen months ago and
since his conviction strenuous efforts
have been made by his attorneys to
secure a mitigation of the death SEN
tence on the ground of insanity.
The board of pardons, however, re-
fused their plea and he was to have
been hung Yesterday. Realizing that
his fate was sealed, Petty evidently
made up his mind to cheat the gallows,
and ultimately succeeded.
