ExPLANNToRY.-In the matter Of the
desperate assault upon P. Mcmahon
by James Rice recently In this town,
on Saturday last Rice was allowed to
plead guilty to assault and battery.
Justice Putnam fined him $500, and
the judgment was so entered upon the
docket, the Judge having good reason
to expect the fine would be paid ut
ono by Mr.. Blanchard, for whom
Rice had been working. He did not
think 1t necessary to state on the docket
that the prisoner should be held In
custody till the fine was paid, and this
omission was Immediately taken ad-
vantage of by Rice's attorney and
friends to procure his release. as the
record could not legally be altered
after the entry was made. Rice Is ac-
cordingly at liberty, but the fine Il not
paid, neither are we inclined to think
It will be BY Nj. Blanchard. It Is
simply a bit Of sharp practice, a snap
Judgment as It were, on the part Of
Rlce's lawyers and friends, taking ad-
vantage Of an accidental i~nformality,
which Justice Putnam says never be-
fore occurred in his Court, and never
will again. As to the fine, he says 1t
Is collectable, same as any other judg-
ment, by execution, whenever Rice Is
found to have any coin resources. We
make this little explanation at the re-
quest o fthe Enterprise.
ANOTHER INcENDIARY ATTEpT.-A
daring attempt was made at Virginia,
about s o'clock last evening, to set FIRE
to the large two-story frame building
ut or near the corner Of Union and +
streets, occupied by Mckay, the we'll
known livery stable man. A wooden
box, filed with pieces Of barley sacks
and paper, vas placed in a doorway
and set fire co. There was no coal oil
in this arrangement, or 1t might have
succeeded better, but It scorched the
door considerably before 1t was discov-
cred and put out by one or two persons
who happened to be passing. The life
Of any scamp caught at this Internal
business would not be worth two cents.
CARSON ITEMs.-We extract the fol-
lowing from the Register of this MORN
ing: A meeting Of the Carson City
Jockey Club will take place at the
Magnolia Saloon this evening, for the
purpose Of arranging the programme
for the Fall races. Virginia and Gold
Hill have contributed literally toward
the purse money, which will rea,h
81, 900 or more, and the races bid fair
to surpass In interest and excitement
any similar meeting ever held In this
State. 49,. Yep Wang, the Chinaman in
dicted for attempt at rape on a little
white girl four years Of age, was &C
quilted by the jury on Saturday night.
