Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1867-08-10
CANA rHrrr.-A ohinam.n, who

WILMA AhAGF-h SdidbAAbhl "aN
goes by the name of Yung Foo, has beer
providing about Gold Hill for some time
past; yesterday be entered the residence
of Mr.. Gillett, Main street, opposite the
Rhode Island Mill, and stole a silver
watch, with a gold chain attached, and
about four dollars in silver coin. He
was seen to leave the premises, and in
a short time the stolen property was
missed. Information was LETT with
Constable Higgins, who with the assist
suce of Capt. George Downey, OF vir-
giuia, arrested last night the fung Foo
aforesaid, and lodged him in the Town
cslaboose, where he now is. The OH
GERS failed to get sight of the watch or
chain, but they are somewhat convinced,
Judging of the past character OF the pris-
oner, tina, he has got them-that 10 to
say, that be has srdilored them. DOW,
new was down here to-day at noon, aud
in company with Higgins, manipulated
| the Celestial to such an extent that
thew saw they heard the rafting OF the
iewelry in the Chinaman's stomach,
where they say he carries his valuaoles.
This is strange, very strange, and is
quite a theme for the curious; as
much so, in fact, as the theory OF
sword swallowing-or, in a political
sense, chawing and swallowing senti-
neu,s, as charged against q certain
United States Senator from this coast.
But, TO the Chiuaman: Yung Foo is an
old thief; being the same fellow who
was arrested in Virginia city last winter
for stealing a diamond ring, which, it
was alleged, he swallowed, when be
was arrested-he no doubt having read
of Cleopatra dissolving a diamond in
vinegar and swallowing it-hke an oys-
ter. We remember quite well when
Chief Edwards and Constable Pat. Lam
nan had Yung Foo 10 the Virginia GALA
boose, charged with stealing and swal-
lowing the diamond ring. We hap
pened in the neighborhood when
be was undergoing their very sstrin-
gent treatment to get q confession
or the ring out Of him-but the new
compulsory medical treatment was new
or made public. They dosed the poor
Foo with rotor oil for ten days and
nights, each taking a four hour watch,
alternately, to see the effects Of their
new medical-diamond-rin
Except that it nearly cost the Chinaman
his life, we have never heard Of the re-
covery of the ring. We would, how
ever, suggest to Edwards and Lam
nan, that there is now a better OPP
portunity to extend their new prac.
tice, and on the same patient, if they
will come down to Gold Hill, and re-
new the doses, with a proportion
ate quautity-suited to the difference
between the relative sizes Of the dia-
moud ring and the watch and chain.
Prompt action on our suggestion is high
" necessary, as the supposed contents
of Yuug Foo's stomach are very likely
TO remind him Of meal time. This is
The latest discovery in medical Juris-
prudence, and is well worthy the atten-
ton and scientific practice OF Doctors
Lannau and others; and its results
should be published in the Pacific Med
ical Journal. Let it be done "by all
means" rs Max Walter would say.
Let it be proven whether the human
stomach can snnihilate time as well as
whisky.
SALooSs.-Geo. Smith, of Red Noun
tain, tells u, that he has noticed that
there has been on an average, a new sa-
loon opened in this county once a week
since the first Of last May. George
ought to know; for where Their. is an
inaugurating free lunch, there is be
gathered together. George was at an
~"opeuing" of a new lager beer hall, a
few days since, where he thinks be got
of an "immeuse thing" as he calls it,
by toas.iug the Mistress Of the estab-
lishment thus: "The Queen Of Beer
she bel" George repeats this, chuckles
and says Solomon couldn't have done
better.
SYxProNs.-Rumors we. cannot trace,
Of d~iptheria in Virginia city. We say
to parents that If any Of your children
are attacked, if you will give a warm
bath, then wrap up warm, then feed
the little one With small pieces Of ice
until the p~retsrnatural heat is broken
up, there Is no danger of losing your
child. Boegle has a small pamphlet GU
this disease, which gives full hydro
pathic directions. They are infalli6le.
