THE EVENING NEWS.

an old Sray-neaueo Ieho" Ia

No tbis TERRITORY, married her, child as she
was Her parents finding that the outrage
had already been committed. e. the blend
inc of April and December-concluded to
make the best of the matter, so kindly inyi-
ted the return of the runaways. About three
months after, the old husband brought his
child-wite again TO this Territory, he having
a chance to get work on mill building on
the Truckee. Now comes in scoundrei the
second, q man having supervision OF some
part of the works about the mill, and another
man. Having business to this city, ne IN
duced the husband, or by the connivance Of
the husband, perhaps, the girl was persuaded
at any rate, he managed to get the young
woman to come with him to this city. Her
husband told her she must come with the
man, as he was in authority about the works.
SO she came with the man. While on the
way, the man to whom her husband had en-
trusted her, besieged her with the most in
famous proposals, which she spurned with
contempt. On their way home these infa-
nous proposals were urged in still more re-
lentless manner. On reaching her home,
where she expected to meet the husband for
whom she had forsaken father, mother,
brothers, sisters and her girlhood's home, to
pour into his ear the tale Of wrongs she had
suffered, she found that he had sold all their
personal property-had even tried to sell her
wardrobe-and had abandoned her. The
poor young woman is now in this city, hay-
ing found kind hearts to pity and shelter her.
We don't know where the husband IS, but the
other fellow is still about the mill, we believe,
as we hear that he has several times sent to
her to try to induce the deserted wife to come
out and live with him. We have not told all
the story of this young wife's-soon to be
young mother's-wrongs but we have doubt
less said enough to convince our people that
strange and wicked things happen here as
well as in older and more densely populated
plaees.-Enteprise.
A SENSATION STORY SPoILED-In these
duh times, We hate to spoil anything sensa-
tional in the items line; but the truth Of his
tory and justice-eyen to a colored man-de-
mands of us to say that that story which our
Virginia contemporaries tell about that unfor
tunate dressmaker, who was abandoned nigh
unto death, with mountain fever, by 4 colored
man from whom she had hired a room, has
another side. We have taken pains to look
into the matter, and find that the unfortunate
\ great degree, to an unusual want Of preju-
dice against color. She was first employed in
the house of negro woman in Virginia, but
becoming dissatisfied, or demoraliZed, placed
herself under the guardianship of young
black fellow who befriended her-and so forth.
A day or two since the loving couple quarrel
led, when the pretty white dressmaker took
some sort of dose that made her very sick.
Thelstove that wasitaken from her room, the
colored fellow says belonged to another par
". He was arrested by somebody for some
thing, which nobody knows what, and deposit
ed SIS for his appearance to-day. 1t is
doubtful, however, whether he will appear,
for he is terribly frightened. The colored
fellow, whom we well know, is porter of the
District Court Clerks office, and very indus
trious. His otfense may be heinous one,
and for it, in the South, he would receive the
lash, but assuredly in his offending he showed
more taste than his poor white victim"
A RELIc-We examined last evening in
the Sazerac saloon, Virginia, weapon that
has history. 1t is a beautiful double-bar-
relied shot gun, made, as its barrel records,
by the d" London Fire Arms Company, and
weighing not more than six pounds-a very
pretty piece indeed. 1t was by this same
gun that the notorious Jack Williams was
killed in Virginia some two years since, and
which the very next night took the life Of
Jack Reeder. Il has doubtless been used to
do other deeds of blood, for it has ever since
been in the possession of desperate men,
II last made its public appearance in the
hands of "Sugar-FoOt Jack" who hunted
with il for Tom Peaseley, but Tom got the
start Of "Sugar-Foot," and killed him, Pease-
ley has been made 4 present of the bloody
weapon, and considers it with the interest
which a man naturally would attach to
weapon, which came within an ace Of being
used for his own murder.
For THE ADJUTANT GENERAL.-We were
shown last evening very pretty sword, in
tended as present from Majors Yanderhof
and Russell to adjutant General Russell, Of
the Territorial Militia. 1t is of the proper
style for the rank Of the officer to whom 1t is
to be given, was made in Philadelphia, and
cost, 800. 1t is to be suitably inscribed, and
will be worn by the General on the military
parade on Monday.
SILVER VALE CLAIA.-We were yester-
day shown some very fair looking specimens
of rock from the Silver Vale claim, near
American Flat. The samples Of ore were
taken from the bottom Of their shaft, which
is now down 25 feet. The lead is said to be
about five feet wide where they are now
working. Assays Of over 800 have been
obtained from ore taken from the shaft
There are 200 feet in the claim.
Our FOR DRILL.-A number of Virginia
military companies were out for drill last
night-moonlight drill, with a small amount
of moon and good deal Of drill. The boys
are getting to be quite perfect and will doubt
less acquit themselves creditably on the I'D,
when they have grand parade in full dress
uniforms.
IHPRovEMENTs.-Ourp people are busy in
every part of the city improving their prop
erty. Many new houses are being erected
and great deal of painting and refurnish-
ing is to be seen all over town. Our citizens
are getting ready for the lively times spring
is sure to bring.-EHterprIse.
FIRST DISTRICT CoURT.-The next Term
Of the First District Court commences on
Monday, March 7th. 1t will continue for
two months. Judge North will preside
There are about i've hundred cases on the
calendar.
DCSTYL-he VINO ventures OUT OF ooofS To-
day, will surely get dust in his eyes. 1t is as
thick and abundant as are mining claims at
American Flat. Well, we can't have lovely
weather all the time.
ABoRIGINEs.-Ae crowd Of aborigines have
been squatting all day in vacant lot, rear
Of the Granite Mil playing cards, and intent
only on their game. Feet doesn't bother
them.
BULLIoN.-Wells, Fargo & Co. yesterday
morning shipped 1901 pounds Of bullion, OF
the estimated value Of 7,726 68.
