How HE CANE 0ur.-Iu our item of
Yesterday relative to the Gold Hill wo-
man who got after q certain elongated
professional on South c street yester-
day afternoon, and did the best she
knew how to "put II head on him y in
tue public street, all just because OF n
sum of money-noarly S30O-which she
said he tried to swindle her out OF, we
stated that he went and had her ar
rested for assault and battery. The
trial took place before Justice Bush last
evening, in the presence of n densely
packed audience, filling the Courtroom
and even blocking the sidewalk in front.
II WAS q jury trial, and both parties
uttu their say. huGh u 'NiN" 6o'S
II statement Of how this wicked man
had seduced himself into the possession
of her hard earnings, ana finally was
heartlessly suchering her out OF the
whole-when she went on with eloquent
tongue, to tell TIE causes induc-
ing her to pitch into this sai;hless
~fnancier, o visible impression w9s Gre
a,ed in her favor with that Jyry. When
she acknowledged that sh5 did try to
bust his crust with n small street rock,
and would have done 80 had she not
been prevented by meddiins spectators,
Chances of approval were exchanged
among the jurors, aud when she graphi-
caily described how in reckless despe-
ration she gobbled his hat and tore 1t
rim from crown and utterly demolished
the same, they stamped with applause.
Without leaving their seats the jury
gave in q verdict OF "not guilty. and
recommending that the complaining
witness be tined one hundred dollars and
tie costs Of Court. To many this verdict
would hardly be deemed Son the
square," In fact, His Honor, as in
duty bound, only took into considera.
ton the ''not guilty" part Of it, and
discharged the lady, the professional
man having to pay all the costs, OF
course, amounting to some ST5. Fully
rs hard a pill to swallow as he ever ad-
ministered to any one else. Cold Hill
wins the last two rounds, and is Cup to
the scratch" for more.
STREET CROSSINGS. = The Virginia
folks are fixing street crossings at yari-
GUS convenient points, ~ncighbors join
ing together in defraying the expenses
thereof. This is q most excellent idea,
but it is not so feasibly followed out
here in Gold Hill. The trouble is that
Main street, where the crossings are
most needed, is very steep, and heavily
loaded quartz wagons passing along
down with their brakes on, or rough
locks to the wheels, will tear out most
anything in the shape Of planks, blocks,
or other style Of crossings, leaving peo-
pie to wade across through the deep tena-
cious mud and gravy rs best they may.
What to recommend in this case we
hardly know, unless a bridge be put
across the street about opposite tue
California Bank, high enough for NIL
sorts of teams to pass under. Or n
tunnel might be made under the street.
A derrick might be rugged, to swing
people across, even u flying trapeze ar
rangement might be found both useful
and beneficial after people got n little
used to it.
READ THIS, EvERYBoDY.-A dollar
saved is just as good as n dollar earned,
