Ed WORLD Monday of the last week
opened lively on the denizens of this city.
A lady of Milesian descent was the principal
operator in the scenes enacted-by name
Biddy Dryer, hailing from Idaho city On
the evening previous she had acted as brides
maid to a worthy associate of herself, who
was united in the holy bonds of wedlock to
Occur dAlene adyenturer, by Squire Over
meyer. No doubt feeling highly satisfied with
the events of the evening she partook freely
| OF the lnvigorating juice of the grape. In
the morning after the wedding, Mrs. DRYER
undoubtedly arose with deadenng sensa-
ton in her head, for after taking an airing
around town, and making repeated visits TO
various saloons, she wendell her way to the
residence of Miss Buchanan, somewhat
noted woman and with malice in. her ar
ton, jealousy in her heart, and pistol and
knife in her hands, did make violent attack
upon the said premises, firing off the atore
said pistol to the great danger and fright of
the before mentioned Miss Flora Buchanan.
as we'll us to the enlargement OF the lives
OF other residents in the neighborhood. At
ter frightening the inhabitants ofthat portion
of the town to her hearts content she pro-
ceeded to look for her "feller," (who is better
known as "Scotty") and in his company was
leaving the city. She was not to escape so
easily though the vultures of the law were
after her, But the officers were not the first
to be on the ground She stopped to have
quiet knock-down with her friend, "Scotty"
he wished to parley, she objected and went
IN, and while thus pleasantly engaged, the
twain were overtaken by another parry who
wished to learn the object and cause Of the
shooting. Biddy started after him, when he
coolly raised a six-shooter and gently let it
fall upon the top of her bonnet, which caused
lady Dryer to measure her length upon the
ground with a slight wound in the aforesaid
bonnet. The fiery lady being thus quieted |
attention was called to "Scotty," and he was
the recipient of several loving taps on the
head which caused him to present gory an
pearance. By this time the officers had ar |
rived and the jealous Venus aud her affection
ate lover were taken into custody They had

Jail to await the action of the Grand Jury, ia

with deadly weapon upon the person of
