4 STIRRING INCIDENT. - Some three
days since a gentleman who has long been
connected with the special detective po-
lice force of Virginia, and whom, for short,
we will call Bob, with a Med. attached,
while on his return to Nevada from San
Francisco, whittier he had been on a visit,
was placed as charge de affairs OF two
ladies-one the wife of q friend, n the
other u blooming girl. just budding into
womanhood-whom he was to escort 10
their destination in the interior. Now,
be il known that Robert is q very gallant
gentleman, and as the boat moved through
the blue waters of the bay the trio gave
way to the inspiring scene, and a Joyous
Journey to Sacramento was regretted at Its
brevity. The ladies, upon arriving at the
annually inundated capital, were escorted
10 o hotel, and early in the morning, pur-
suant to arrangement, were called, and
after the usual toileting, wandered for an
hour or two through the foliaged streets OF
the city of flowers, admiring nature in her
most gorgeous hueS. Breakfast followed,
and the party (unsophisticated in travel
ing) went to the railroad station, and get
ting aboard the cars, In due time started
for Nevada ria Dutch Gap. The cars
rolled on, and the party passed the mo-
ments in mirth and jest, until three roughs
came to the adjacent seat and wantonly
insulted the ladies, who had never before
seen them. The cars rolled on; no fancy
conductor was near to afford protection,
but Bob, slow to anger, at last arose,
stepped into the aisle, and drawing a
heavy six-shooter, tapped the leader Of the
roughs across the face and telled him
senscless to the floor. His friends then
made a rush at Bob, but a cooked derrin-
ger kept them at bay, while the dubbed
revolver descended with telling effect on
the face of the fallen brute. About this
time the Conductor got around and tried
to interfere, but Bob. had not finished his
Job, and warned him away. Conductor
obeyed, and the pounding continued until
our hero's strength was exhausted, when
. he desisted from further vengeance. The
rufian, bloody and insensible, was packed
to the baggage car, whittier he was fol-
lowed BY his co%mpanions. 4 cooling
dose of water was sprinkled in the faces
of the ladies, who had tainted, and amit
the congratulations of the passengers th'
Journey was finished. We are indebted
for the above particulars, TO a party aboar'
the cars, who pertinently inquiries wha
