ity. got some water and were bathing the wound
and trying to stauneh Its bleeding when our in
present t~houghtahe Indians skull was broken.
and were talking OF having the Chinaman hunt.
ed up and arrested. The Celestials will do well
to keep a sharp lookout for the old fellows
friends, or some OF them will lose their hair
Eascrprlse Of Mk morning.
Our enterprising cotemporary does
get fearfully bilked quite frequently
in the matter Of local items, and that's
what's the matter In the present case.
Constable Harkin called on us to-day
and gives us the correct version of the
matter. He was informed Of the affair
perhaps by the Enterprise informant)
and went up there Immediately to ar
rest this wicked Celestial, arriving not
more than five or ten minutes after
the alleged assault. He found an old
Piute sqtdtc on the trail, bleelly freely
from a wound In her head, and then
went and arrested the Chinaman who
was said to have inflicted the wound,
but released him as soon Is things ere
properly explained. The squaw could
talk no English, but Mr.. Harkin
learned the true particulars from her
through an Indian who acted as inter-
prefer. The Chinaman In question Is
cook at Kelly's boarding house, In tho
vicinity, and sent this old squaw to get
n pail Of water from the well by the
roadside near the old Imperial dump.
In drawing the water the crank Of the
windlass slipped from her hands, aud
coming over struck her OH the head,
cutting her scalp, bnt not infiicting n
very serious wound. She Is all right
and goes about as usual. This Is the
actual truth fthe matter-"Ohly this,
and nothing more"
ANOTHER ATrRAcTIoN.-The famous
Lauri troupe, now performing at the
Alhambra Theater, san Francisco,
where they have met with excellent
success for the last two months, are ell
gagged and will shortly appear mt the
Alhambra Theater, Virginia. This is
the last week of the minstrel combina-
ton, closing OH Sunday evening next.
In order to properly arrange for the
coming attraction and change in the
character of the entertainments given,
the bar is to be moved from the front,
so that ladies and families will not be
be annoyed by it when entering the
theater from c street.
DRY MooN.-Professor Nye was
looking anSiously through the great
Gold Hill telescope, on the roof of the
Eclipse mill, pretty much all last
night, for the new moon. He raised
her at last, lying fiat on her back. and
from critical inspection pronounccs 1t
a "dry moon." There will be no
more heavy storms until the moon
fulls and gives the weather a chance.
The Gold Hill pig barometer corrobo-
rates the Professors observations, rs
their tails are all pointed due north.
and their SHOOTS toward the sunny
south.
