The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1870-08-14

"A Gard appears in another part of
this paper. signed by ?. McCue, denying
that he is the notorious Peeping Tom
80 often mentioned in these columns as
addicted to the unpleasant custom of
looking in at windows and doors where
women are alone-partieularly il repos-
ing or disrobing. On taking the card
from McCue, we asked him if he had
ever been obliged to leave Silver City or
Flint Ndaho) for similar conduct to that
he is accused of here. He was out on
So, 500 bonds last evening. He said he
had never been obliged to leave either
place on sueh account; nor any other.
We proposed to show him n man who
would say he had been. He went with
us, but our witness had retired for the
night. Afterward, some gentlemen nc
companied MeCue to our Office, where
he wal confronted by Caldwell Wright,
for whom he worked, in the Ida Elmore
mine. He took Wright aside, and inter
rogated him in an undertone. Wright
replied, CURLY, Yes, sir, / said so, say
so nowi' McCue called him a liar; and
the epithet vas not cool on the air till
he received a hit on the temple from
which he bled very profusely on the floor.
Marshal Dnmars promptly arrested both
parties, preventing further difficulty.
McCue seemed to have IN ugly hole in
the temple-made, he said, by a six
shooter; though we saw none. At the
City Hall Wright was allowed to go on
his own recognizance, and McCue put in
jai, on an additional warrant held at the
tine, for larceny. At the interview in
our Office, Wright not only asseverated
what he had before said, but called names
md instances to MeGue's mind. McCue
acknowledged all places of residence, nc
quaintance, and occupation, but denied
the soft impeachment as TO inspection of
bedroom windows and the o~pera-glass
aspect of er-closets. The prejudice
of the community is strongly backed by
Wright's evidence as to early history.
