Show In the Desert. Here is a glimpse of the horrors of a western desert, taken from the Gold-field Gold-field (Nev.) News: "Another desert victim is reported, and Archie Campbell, Camp-bell, manager of the Last Chance mining property near Death valley, came to Goldfield yesterday to endeavor en-deavor to establish the identity of the unfortunate. "Mr. Campbell encountered the unknown un-known man on the desert in a frightful fright-ful condition. He was in the last stages of desert exhaustion, devoid of clothing, sunburned, blistered and crazed, with his tongue swollen enormously, enor-mously, a pitiable object, and unable to speak. "He was tenderly conveyed to camp ; and everything possible done for him, ; but kind aid came too late, for an hour after he had absorbed the first cup of water he expired." |
