SHARP YoUNG MANA rather funny
case came before justice at Milwaukee
the other day. A young woman who had
accepted the attentions and civilities of a
gentleman for some time and at length was
married to somebody else, to whom she
had been previously engaged at the time
she accepted his services. Whereupon the
deceived individual sued for bill of$104,
the amount he had paid in her behalf in
taking her to concerts, operas, pic MICS,
rides and ice cream saloons. As an offset
he credited her with sundry kisses valued
at $l6,551, several squeezes of the hand
$685., an unreturned photograph and
ring, making total of $37,75. Tie recoE-
cred the bill, the judge allowing the plain
tiff the kisses at his own value. The case
is to be carried up, and there promises to
be much conflicting testimony in regard to
the Milwaukee girls kisses.
SANTA ANSA.-It has been rumored,
though on questionable authority, that
Santa Anna, ex-President and ex-Dictator
Of Mexico, was shot at Sisal on. the 25th
ult. tt is stated that he was arrested on
board the V5rginia, which was anchored
81 miles or one half mile over the prescrib-
ed league from the shore. If this is so, the
United States government will demand
satisfaction, ,.as it is a violation Of treaty.
The rumor of bis death is not believed in
Washington, as he was at canpeachy, the
capital of Yucatan, the day before the al
legek shooting, and Sisal, where be is re-
ported killed, is 12s miles from Garhpeachy.
The government has sent vessel to Vera
Cruz TO obtain the facts. @
