Reductions Made Regardless of Cost In search of a fortune believed to have been left by her husband wh he was lynched by an angry mob at Skiddoo, in southern Nevada last month, Mrs. Joe Simpson arrived in Reno yesterday morning. She is stopping with Mrs.

Dan Free on Main street. Mrs. Simpson is well known in Reno. It was through the Gaaette that she first learned of the death of her husbarid and since that time has been engaged in an effort to have his business affairs settled up. It is probable she will be compelled to engage in a number of law suits before she can establish her rights to the Simpson estate.

She. is now negotiating with Re.no attorneys to have this matter attended to. -HAD MONEY. "I have received a number of letters from officials in Skidoo since my husband's death," said Mrs. Simpson a friend yesterday.

"But all of them say that he left no property From other sources I learn that my husband did leave considerable prop was well supplied wnn money and was then in Los Angeles to close up a large mining deal. At that time he said he was going to dispose of his interests at Skidds. He owned a saloon there which was fitted up expensively and I am led to believe he must have left considerable property when he met his death there last month." ONCE LIVED HERE. Simpson was an old time resident of Reno. Ten years ago he came here and ope.ned up a lunch counter 'in the Monarch saloon and in a comparatively short timo made a Small fortune Then he began to take in the mining excitements and up to the time of his death made lost several fortunes.

It was his desire liquor that led to his downfall for when he was drinking he was in an ugly mood and it was during one of his sprees in Skiddoo that he killed a man uuJev such conditions that it aroused the citizens and they took him out and Long before the hour named for th? nppearance of the parade of the Boys' circus this morning the streets of the city were crowded with pcolpcr all anxious to catch a glimpse of the pageant. parade was one of th. most gorgeous ever seen in Reno not excepting the big parade of the Sell3 Bros, circus In this city several weeks ago. There were many cages containing wild animals with their trainers. There was an immense Bengal tiger, a royal Nubian lion, trained from Africa, and innumerable animals from the wilds of India, South America and Australia.

In the rear of every cage were these fu.nny persons, all followed by small hoys and all creating amusement for the crowd on the side walks.

In the parade was a large old fashioned stage coach, loaded with passengers and guarded by messengers with rifles, and follwoing this coach, were more than twenty cow boys all these Indian braves carried tomahawks, bows, arrows and scalping knives and their war paint and feathers, they presented a terrifying appearance. The music for the parade was fur ing horses. Following this band wagon were more than twent ycow boys all fully armed and all prepared to battle this afternoon with the Indians at the circus grounds. MANY DARING FEATS. This afternoon the boys are giving a performance before a crowd of more than one thousand people at their icrcus grounds at the Boys park.

The circus was interesting a.nd exciting from beginning to end and many marvelous feats were performed. There was a daring dash for life from the top of a large tree along a slender wire to the ground, by a boy holding to a strap by his teeth. There was a high dive into a tub containing four feet of water and many hair raisins feats on the flying trapeze. The tumbling and tight rope walking was excellent and the rose races were sensational and exciting in the extreme. The side show containing the famous snake charmer, the wonderful fat woman, the liivng skeleton, the wild man of Borneo, the only wild man in captivity, the dwarfs, the tatooed man and many other wonderful freaks drew an immense crowd.

It is believed that the ground purchased by the Washoe Oil and Development company southwest of this city will prove to be rich with oil and that within, a fev more months, there will be some wonderful discoveries made in that district.
