120 JUNE 17, 1857 NEVADA DEMOCRAT
Aldrich, were appointed last Saturday to examine John Meyers, as to his insanity. They have not yet
concluded the examination, but we understand the physicians are of the opinion that the man is really
insane. They will probably make a report to the District Court this week.
A PUBLIC SERVANT.—Wallace Gehr left on Monday morning, in charge of Under Sheriff Van
Hagan, for San Quentin, to serve out his term of imprisonment.
PLAYING IT FINE.—We learn that Gehr while on the way to the Penitentiary played crazy. The
officer paid no attention to his ravings, as his efforts to appear insane were too shallow to deceive any
one.
THEATER.—Miss Mary Provost played at the Theater on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings
of last week. She was supported by Messrs. Warwick, Anderson, Woodward and others, and the
entertainments presented were highly creditable. Miss Provost is a lively and pleasing actress; her
singing, in particular, was much admired, and invariably brought down the house.
On Monday evening the Theater was opened by Mr. and Mrs. Stark, who were greeted with a full
house. The play of Camille was performed, and in consequence of its great length it constituted the sole
entertainment of the evening. Mr. Stark as Armand Duval, was the great attraction, and his delineation of
this character was perhaps, as near perfection as it is possible for an actor to attain. .. . The translation of
this play, as performed by Mr. and Mrs. Stark, is much more chaste and tasteful than any we have before
seen upon the stage. During the performance they were twice called in front of the curtain. Last evening
Mr. Stark appeared in his great character of Richelieu, but we go to press at too early an hour to speak of
the performance. The company will remain through the week, and a succession of standard plays will be
presented. ...

ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER
GOLDEN GATE.
Capitulation of General Walker.
The U.S. Sloop of War St. Marys arrived at Panama from San Juan on May 16th, having on board
Gen. Walker and staff, consisting in all of sixteen persons, who had capitulated and agreed to leave the
country. The rest of his command marched across the country to San Juan, en route for the United States.
Gen. Walker was surrounded at Rivas and had only four days provisions on hand when he capitulated.
While at Panama they were kept on board the steam ship, and not allowed to communicate with the shore.
They were escorted across the Isthmus by a guard of marines, and took passage on the Granada for New
Orleans. ...
Capt. Davis, of the St. Marys, having visited the allied camp, and ascertained from his own
observation, as well as from the accounts bro’t in by deserters, of the straits to which Walker and his men
were reduced, addressed a letter to Walker on the 3d of April, stating that he was aware of his desperate
position, and offering from humanity to interfere in his behalf, and stated that he was authorized in case of
his (Walker’s) capitulation to guarantee his personal safety, and the safe removal of all under his
command. He also offered to take Walker to Panama in the St. Marys, and stated that Gen. Mora had
consented to suspend hostilities. . . .
When Gen. Canas took possession of Rivas he found there some sixty of Walker’s men, sick and
wounded, all in a dreadful state for want of attendance. His first step was to provide for their comfort,
