death and from the day Of his

every effort on the part Of his
warders, who first tried tempting
him to eat ny placing the most
dainty meals in his cell and when
that failed, attempted feeding him
by force he held out for 63 days,
at the md Of which time he died.

Has anybody here seen Queho?

of men in the employ of the

with a story that may have some
bearing on the subject. He re-
ports that a half breed woman who
lives at Hardyville. on the

about twenty miles above Mohavc

and his wife and another Whit
man recently came down the river
in a boat rowed by Indians. These
people told her that they mad been

ing a white man to death with Il

were on the Nevada side of the
