a " They seemed very much interest
ed, and swayed about ex~citedly, strain
ing their eyes and necks TO get a glimpse
of what was going on. All had their hats
oil, and some were passable and intelll-
gent looking enough but others, with
their projecting, swarthy '%'snoots,' and
long tails, looked more like NANCY old
balloons than members OF the human

tho sidewalk, were about n dozen jacks
loaded with wood, and all seemingly as
much interested in the result OF the trial
as any of the Johns were. Last even

in progress. About s o'clock the Court
adjourned, when several of the Johns
got after one o. the witnesses whose
testimony they did not like, and to es-

heels and ran like n scared hound, tax
ing refuge in the Pacific Union Express
Office. The police arrested some OF the
assailants aud stopped further trouble.

among themselves last Saturday even

fired without hitting anybody.
