THE EVENING NEWS.

tu III lut rear W.
and Harris. At that time we maue "
s;mnle statement of the case as nearly
.s We corId ascertain from all available
sou-coC and intended TO await the en-
omiration 10 find out the facts. Accor-
d;pcIv NJ the time the case was to be
csIiej we were on hand, but Mr.. Corson,
without giving any reasons and without
the appearance OF the prosecuting wit
ness. entered a moiie proSeqtG. We have
no doubt but the action of the Attorney
WAS justified. At the same time, if there
were good reasons for having the parties
arrested, it should not have been done,
AS a charge of the kind being instituted
against any one is injurious TO his reputa-
ton and business. If these parties are
guilty, hen the law should be strictly
enforced against them. 1t is n bad prin-
ciple, TO institute a suit of the kind
against any one and then dismiss it
without giving the public an opportu-
nifty Of Judging of their guilt or limo
cence by the testimony that may be
adduced by both sides. So far as we
are concerned, we believe with the law,
that ''every man is innocent until he is
proven to be guilty
CHRISTMAS BALL.-It will be seen by
an advertisement, under New To-day,
that Daniel Lyons, long and ~tavorably
known as n dancing teacher and a gem
tleman, to the people of Gold Hill and
Virginia, will. on Christmas evening,
give a ball At the Athletic Club Room,
Virginia. During last summer Mr..
Lyons had the misfortune to break one
of his legs, since which time he has been
unable to earn anything. Lyons has q
host of friends both in Gold Hill and
Virginia, who will be glad to have an
opportunity to help him in this his hour
of need. We are willing 10 pledge Gold
Hill for a full share Of patronage. \
splendid watch will be given as a prize
TO the best walters. Read his adycr-
tisement and you will see what he pro-
poses to do, and on the night OF the
Ball be on hand. If you can't come,
buy a ticket any how.
REMEMBER THE PooR.-Mrs. Kidd, a
k~ind-hearted and benevolent lady-the
wife of the Superintendent Of the Union
Mill-yeSterday interested herself IN an
endeayor 10 relieve the wants of Mrs.
Patey and her five small children, who
are left destitute in the world, by reason
of the father and husband being acct
dentallv killed about ten days ago in
one of our mines. In a short time Mrs.
Kidd collected about eighty dollars and
presented it TO the poor family. The
storm coming on, prevented her from
soliciting more assistance. In u few
DAYS she will again see what can be
done for the poor family. II is u case
Of m]eritorious beuevolence-and we
know that when called upon few will
hesitate to respond.
Poor "MosE." - Some heortlesS
wretch-who will have his Internal neck
stretched if he is found out-a few
nights ago, poisoned Mr.. True's ~favorite
dog "Mose." This harmless and "a
yorite little dog was the pet of many of
our old Gold Killers, and was the daily
companion of his owner, whose dttec-
tions toward the poor dumb brute were
almost ardent as they could be toward
a child. The motive for the bastard
and cowardly act Of poisoning is suS-
pected BY Mr.. True; and if fully con-
WINGED as to the identity of the person,
wo TO him.
New 'BUS.-Geu. Haight treated his
numerous patrons, a day or two ago, to
o-n,hnz al Daaf pnw clean |
and close, so as to keep out the cold, |
rain. frost. snow, and fog. Six fine, |
sprightly horses, with Sam, the bully |
driver-(we don't mean bull-driver)-l
but the chap that knows how 10 handle
the ribbons, and who accommodates his
friends when they ask him. General
Haight'S line of buses are decidedly
popular, judging of the way they go
filled all the time.
MINING ACADEMIA man whose
name we were unable to ascertain, was
injured in the Savage mine to-day, by |
being caught between a car and n post, |
whereby his bones were crushed and
bruised and the co~llar-bone broken. DR..
Green was called, and did all that could
be done in the way of setting the frac-
tured bones and relieving the sufferer.
He was taken TO the Ashland House, on
the Divide, where he will be cared for.
DIsryrERRED.-It will be remembered
that about two years ago a little chlla
of Mrs. Cowles fell into a shaft and was
killed. Mrs. Cowles, a few days since,
came up from the Bay and had the child
disinterred, and took it over the noun
tains with her. 1t will be buried IN
Lone Mountain Cemetery. VINO a
Fathom the depths of a mothers love =!
Her child is lost. but not forgotten.
Mup.-Main street, Gold Hill, is a
mass of mud and slush-like breaking
up of Spring in Illinois. The sky is
overcast with dark and portentous
clouds; rain and chilly atmosphere; and
the hill-sides are covered with snow. II
is decidedly wintry. IN. B.-This item
is written for the information of our
distant readers. Everybody ~hereabouts
knows the same to be a positive fact.J
A CERTAIN RExEDY.-This morning
we noticed many persons trembling with
cold. owing to the damp atmosphere,
going into Haas & Co.'s clothing estao-
lishment and coming out with a huge
blanket coat on, that made n person
feel warm to look at. This firm has a
large assortment of Winter clothing
constantly on hand.
HIGH BErrISG.-Last night, at the
cockpit there were about two hundred
and fifty persons. At least $1,000
changed hands on a single fight. This
is truly a new feature in the way OF
snort; but there is 40 other place
where people Ego their money on the
Shanghai"
IL LrxBo.-They have got six persons
in the Lyon County Jail, charged with
being concerned in late amalgam thefts.
The affair at the Imperial mill, night
before last. indicates that they are not
all in "limbo" yet.
