Jones was mounted on a bony horse, whose hoofs had worn down until they bled. The other man was on foot and had given up and was urging his companion to pnsh on for help, but this was out of the question. The men were entirely without food or provender for themselves or the horse. Jones was coming across from his Nevada mines and might have gotten through. The other man would sorely - have perished. H. Palmer, alias T. 0L Cletnmens, who is in the county jail In Salt Lake City, attempted suicide Sunday morning by tailing sixteen grains of morphine. He would undoubtedly have succeeded in his intentions had not the dose been so large. The dose he took simply acted as an emetic and was expelled from his stomach. He was found on the floor of his cell by the jailor and medical attendance summoned and was soon pronounced out of danger. Palmer was in jail awaiting trial on a charge of forgery and seemed to have suffered so keenly from the disgrace of the charge that he procured the mor-- , phine from a fellow prisoner with the intention of ending his earthly career. On Sunday night Palmer again made two unsuccessful attempts on his life, once by hanging and later by unscrewing a gas jet, but he was detected in each instance in time to prevent his and telegraphic transfers from offices has been so modified as to allow the assistant treasurer at New Yosk to receive gold in exchange for paper currency to be shipped from the treasury in Washington.

It is reported the arrest will lead to disclosures of an enormous smuggling operation on which the secret service agents have been working for a long time. The case contains a mysterious load of lace, said to be valued at 150,000, which was delivered to a Broadway dealer. It is understood that the lace was smuggled, but whether all at once, or in small lots, could not be learned. Investigation may develop some startling results and more arrests will follow.
