courtesan named Clara Thompson. 1t appears
that Sims went to Clara's house, on upper Broad

was not there. Sims insisted his friend was in an
adjoining room, and commenced rapping or pound
ing on the door; the woman told him to desst, up
on which Sims struck her once and was in the act
OF striking again, when she drew small pistol
from her pocket and fred at him. The ball took
effect just just below the ribs, directly under the
heart, and lodged somewhere in the body. The

cia street, and has been attended by Dr. Randall of
Grass Valley. 1t was found impossible to probe
the wound or trace the direction OF the ball. but the
man has been rapidly improving, and will doubtless
recover. The woman was Immediately taken into
custody, and examined the next day before Justice
