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." |
