The two convicts who escaped from the state prison farm near Carson are still at large. They are said to be making toward the eastern part of the state. The state police are on the tracks of the convicts. Peter Perlot, formerly manager of the Quartette mine at Searchlight committed suicide recently in Los Angeles. Ill health and business reverses are said to be the cause. T. B. Rickey, the man who it is said was responsible for the collapse of the State Bank & Trust company at Goldfield several years ago, has paid the receiver $20,000 as his share of the compromise. Rickey has twice stared the penitentiary in the face and has managed to get out both times on technicalities. Some people are born lucky. The San Francisco Examiner contains a report of an attempt at suicide on the part of T. R. Hofer Jr., in that town. Mr. Hofer was once postmaster at Reno an enjoyed the acquaintance of a host of friends. Senator Williams of Reno suffered the loss of a biig stack of alfalfa hay recently. The loss was sustained by fire and is estimated at $1,000.
