INDIAN MURDERER
STILL At LARGE

The sheriff's office and the -vari-
Gus peace officers of the county
have so far failed to locate Tang
Darrow, the Indian who a couple
of months ago fatally shot William
Baker at Spanish Springs. So far
as known he has not been seen since
week following the shooting.
Darrow knows pretty nearly
every water hole, mesquite stretch
and canyon in the country. between
Death Valley and Salt Lake, and
unless he grows careless he is not
apt to be located soon.
1t is certain thing that other
Indians will not reveal his hiding
place, if he is till in Nevada. They
have a code of their own in these
matters. Since the shooting affair
the Indians who formerly hung
around the country about Manhat-
tan have all moved over into the
Smokey Valley. Bonanza.

INDIAN TAKES HIS LIFE

An Indian named Charley Allen
was found dead about seven miles
from Saltwater last Tuesday. An
inquest was held yesterday, the
verdict being that he came to his
death by his own hand. District
attorney Grimes and Health Officer
DIR. Hascall attended the inquest.
1t was the belief that the Indian
had taken strychnine. Some time
ago he had domestic trouble and
ate wild parsnip, his life being
saved by the use of the stoma ch
pump. Last Monday Charley put
on clean clothes and got on his
horse and rode away. He tied the
horse, leaving his gun tied on
the saddle, and walked half a mile,
where the death occurred. There
was no signs of any tracks and no
marks of violence. The body was
buried near the Indian school yes

MARK TWAIN'S DESCRIP-
TON OF AN EARTHQUAKE

The last issue of Goodwin's
Weekly contains the description of
an earthquake in San Francisco,
written by Mark Twain in the early
COS for the Virginia Enterprise.
From what he calls an imperfect
memory, Editor Goodwin quotes
the following:
All at once the old world seemed
to be seized with cramps. The
plums in California are Just getting
ripe; you may remember what half
ripe plums did to you when as a
boy yoI used to steal them. Men,
for the moment, lost their wits, ap-
parently. Indeed there was ronly
one man in San Francisco l,who
showed any presence of mind, and
he was preach er over in Oakland
He did just what would have done
had | been given a chance. He
went down sout of his pulpit and
embraced a woman. The papers
say she was his wife and maybe she
was, but if she was it was a pity.
1t would have shown so much more
presence of mind to have embraced
some other gentleman's wife.
"A yuong man came down from
the fifth story of a house on Stock
ton street. He had on no clothing ey.
cept a knit undershirt, which came
about as near concealing his person.
as does the tin-foil champagne
bottle.
Man yelled at him. small,boys
shouted to him, while women be-
sought him to take their sunbon-
nets, their parasols, their aprons,
their hoop skirts any thing, to
cover himself up and not stand.
there distracting peoples attention
from the earthquake.
The young man gazed all
around, then gazed down at himself,
and then he went upstairs. am
told he went up lively.
Pete Hopkins-he weighed 400
pounds was shaken off Telegraph
hill onto three story house. The
paper, always misrepresenting
things, ascribed the destruction of
the house to the earth quake"

COlDF|ElDS BIG SHOWING

One of the most magnificen {
showings ever made by any mining
property in the country, is that
made by the Goldfeld Consolidated
at the end of April. 1t is nothing
less than marvellous.
The net out put for march was
$S25, 900, while that for the month
of April was $4,000, after ex-
pending $4,000 for construction
work and their losses by fire. This
large production for April was the
result of clean up at the mill.
The total tonnage for April was
1900 tons of which 400 tons was
highgrade which was shipped The
gross production was $1,l0O. 900
with an expenditure of $500. 600
leaving the net figures, $40, 900.
The entire production for the
past two months was $1,665, 900
net, which after paying the April
dividend, left $1,250,O00 in cash
and bullion in transit.

SOME GOOD THOUGHTS

Here are some good thoughts from
the Farm Journal for May:
Do not forget to congratulate
mother on her birthday.
Equal parts of skinned milk and
water, warmed. will remove fly
specks from vanished woodwork or
furniture.
Don't see why the oven doesn't
bake good? Just scrape the SCOT
and ashes out from under it and
you will get an eye-opener on that
subject.
Mattresses will wear better and
be more easily handled if made in
three pieces of equal size, two to lie
lengthwise and one across. The
wear can be distributed evenly
and they are especially convenient
in case of illness, as they are easily
moved and aired.
Blessings on the wife who sits
down without a bit of grumbling
and mends all the holes in the socks
of the entire family every week.
Every week mind you! If she did
not there would soon be nothing
but one big hole to tackle, and that
would mean money for new pairs.
The prudent young man who is
looking for wife who will wear
well, y takes note of the appearance
of her mother. If she is neat and
trim, and looks as if she had helm
with the work and kindly and loving
care, he may safely infer that her
daughter will make a good wife.
People who throw away oatmeal
or any other breakfast cereals, are
throwing good money to the hens
and losing the basis for the best
gems they ever ate. You don't
need a certain measure of cereal for
the gems. Take your regular
receipt and let the cereal take the
place of part of the flour. You'll
be glad.
Unless especially directed to the
contrary by the physicians, all med
icincs which are swallowed in tablet
or pill form should be Immediately
followed by drink of some liquid,
as water, milk tea etc. Concen-
tratcd medicines if all owed to dis.
solve in close contact with the walls
of the stomach often irritate the
organ.

morv of Mrs Charles 3. Davis of Har-

Newburyport, for whose murder Ray
mond Plouffe IL firm hand, is being
tried. at the trial today developed the
fact that Plouffe had paid her sum

known to have carried such bills when
he met his death on the road between
Harvard and Aver on the night OF
Sept. 10, 1903.
This was the most important point
of Mrs. Davis testimony, which was
confined largely to the story Of DE-
stones stay at her home and his de
parture in carriage driven by
Pouffe, who was employed by Mrs
Davis. to catch a train.
That DR.. Stones death was due not
to the several bullet wounds in the
head, but to wounds on the face ana

with some blunt instrument. was the
statement of Medical Examiner George
