CAMS RIDE TO GOLD HrIL.-The
festive n. Cain had been using some
beer day before yesterday, and along
about I'VE O'Clock p. ". he became i'm
pressed with tho idea that he must have
ride. He was meandering alongC
street. Virginia, and happening to see
Wallis Job Wagon standingin front Of
Gillig, Mott s. Co.'S, with no one on
board, lie got in, seized the rsins,
whipped up the horses, and drove at a
furious rate through town toward Gold
Hill. Over the Divide he came rat
thing along merrily, the horses lashed
into q reeIing sweat, and down the
steep street the wild driver urged them
still at their best remaining speed. At
the upper end Of town, however, he
managed to steer them afoul OF q tele-
graph pole, bringing the team to q
stand still, and pitching Cain over
board. As soon as the dust and stars
cleared of, Cain got up, shook him
. self, and was eagerly trying to clear
the team from that telegraph pole, so
as to finish his ride, rs the proprietor
came dashing down the hill oil horse
back In full pursuit. Cain was cap
tured and taken before Justice Putnam.
The Judge concluded to hold him for
trial the next day, but Cain objected,
unless the plaintiff, Wall, would give
security for paying him for his loss Of
time, which he said was worth 81 a day
and which he couldn't afford tolose
attending court. In fact, Cain took q
big book from the table and went on
to lay down the law in support of his
position, declaring that he wouldn't
come for trial next day unless Wall
would "put up" the aforesaid secu-
rity. The Judge put an end to the ar
gunlent by sending him to the Gala
boose for safe keeping, and yesterday
afternoon he raised Cain to the tune OF
SIS for malicious mischief. Cain paid
his fine like q man, and then went out
In the street. slapped that team pro-
prietor in the face for his pains, got
arrested again, taken before the judge.
aud had to pay $40 more. He now
concluded to 60 up to Virginia, and
about dark returned from there III
charge of q couple of friends, more
hilarious thon ever. He kicked up
such a row that he had to be arrested
for being drunk and disorderly. Cain
deposited $50 with the Judge, went
into Court this morning, confessed
Judgment, and departed sadder, wiser
and desiring to sin no more. Under
ordinary circumstances Calm Is a very
quiet, industrious man, but that Horn
town whisky was what played the
devil with him OH this occasion.

fourned, will be-hanged. The crime

ssrobbine the United States mails by
force of arms and threats, illuminating

their lives" the penalty Is death. For
the latter crime, the four car robbers

and ordered them out, keeping them
covered with cooked guns, and thu
jeopardizing their lives.
