It is built in the manner of the Italian Renaissance and looks out over the bay. Like most buildings of the Western states, it is equipped with a moving-picture theatre, as well as rooms for visitors. Idaho's exhibits are chiefly in the Exposition palaces. The Nevada Building, designed by F. J. De Longchamps, of Carson, is another structure in the style of the French Renaissance.

As they reached the barricade it crashed down and, carrying me with it, pinned me fast. Looking out between the barrels, I saw what froze my heart with horror.
But suddenly they drew off. I have looked at my watch; it is four o'clock. "Four o'clock. Idaho's wound is bad a long, raking furrow in the right forearm. I bind it up for him, but he is losing a great deal of blood and is very weak. "They seem to know that we are only two by now, for with each rush they grow bolder. The slackening of our fire must tell them how scant is our ammunition. "Later.
And as I went on to describe my agony while Idaho's fingers were gradually nearing the knife, his face grew pale and his eyes grew wide with horror.

On a beautiful afternoon like this, Mrs. Sampson," I goes on, "we should let our thoughts dwell accordingly.
What with their yelling and the incessant crack of their rifles and the thud of their ponies' feet our horses at first became very restless, and at last Idaho's mustang bolted clean away. We all stood to it as hard as we could. For about the first fifteen minutes it was hot work. The Spotted One is hit. We are certain of that much, though we do not know whose gun did the work.
Even as the men began about the steamship offices and on the streets and in the hotels whither the Idaho's few passengers had told the tale, to speak of Walter Loring as the man who really quelled the panic, if not a mutiny, and saved the lives of a score of helpless men and women, that officer stood accused before his comrades of the army of breach of trust, of mean embezzlement, of low-down theft and trickery, and not a man could he name to help to prove him innocent.
