BAD STATE or AFFAIRS.

From tho Salt Lake Mining Journal. Nov. IA
The heads and tales OF the occurrence
about TO be related are q little mixed
TO say the least. As Is usually the case
rumor has 1t that a fiendish outrage has
been committed, but we don't think
the case will bear 90 strong an Inter-
probation: Il Ia very evident that
he Is the man you know
was drunk. The time vas night too.
A girl was In his Office. How abe
came there at that time of night we
don't exactly understand. AGHe at
tempted to violate her, and finally az
tempted to throw her out Of the win
dow. She claims 70 have been dfuSged.
There Is another report which, Wishing
to give the girl the vantage ground
aud out Of our v%eneration for the name
woman. we fail to state. JuSt here
the door. at the suggestion Of an In
ceused wife, gave abruptly way, anda
pretty state Of affairs followed. The
man, drunk and almost nude, lying on
the sofa. and the girl with clothes
partly off-a very unpretty way for q
man TO be found In by his wife. The
girl Was assisted to dress and:went her
way. The matter was at once taken
into hand BY relatives and the evidence
looked up, and this morning Cameron
was arrested and taken to The Police
Court. By the friends 81. one 1t Is
claimed to be . hendlsh .ataik wholly
unprovoked. BY the friends Of tho
other quite q different account Is given.
Having given the facts We gainedwe
await the evidence adduced a. Court.

ANOTHER SUICIDAL ATTEMPT.

Early yesterday morning, says the
Sacramento Union Of Saturday, Dep
uty Sheriff Shearer, on visiting the
cell Of Charles Mortimer, who Ia i'm
prisoned In the County jail, charged
with the murder Of Mrs. Gibson, found
the prisoner lying asleep on his mat
tress, which was saturated with blood,
while a pool Of blood stood upon the
floor. An examination proved that 1t
had flowed from a wound In Morti-
mer's left arm, inflicted with q piece
Of glass, which he ~endeavored, but un.
successfully, to conceal. He had lost
80 much blood that he was quite faint.
After the officer went away he re-
opened the wound In his arm with q
comb, aud when Shearer returned,
about ten o'clock, . large quantity Of
blood had been allowed to dow. The
prisoner was then handcuffed aud
searched thoroughly, together with his.
cell. In his mattress were. found two
ropes, made Of pieces Of blanket
twisted together and sewed with
smaller strips torn from q sheet and
united by means OF a needle made out
OF q piece of wire. In the seam around
ono leg OF his pants was a piece OF
thick wire taken from the rim Of . tin

SUICIDE IN JAIL.

A shocking case OF suicide occurred
early yesterday morning, says the
Phoebe Record Of November IS, In the
County Jail. This victim Of self de-
structlon was a sporting character
known for IL or 20 years On the coast
by the cognomen Of "Black Hawk"
His right name Is Mateo Oreamuno.
He Is a native Of Central America,
aged about40 years. He leaves . wife
and children In Virginia City. It APP
pears that the deceased for several
days gave signs Of a disordered mind,
aud on Sunday last he was placed In
the County Jail as q measure Of safety
to himself. On Monday, while eating
dinner he made o fearful cash In the
right side of his neck!with q case knife
but not infllcting a fatal Injury. This
was discovered, the wound dressed,
aud the knife taken from him. Dur
Ing Monday night he seemed restless
and fearful Of some impending danger,
and the jailer vas unable to pacify
him. Between 4 and 5 o'clock yester-
day morning Frank Perry, a prisoner,
who was In the hall, heard an unusual
noise In Mateo's cell, and gave the
alarm, which brought the jailer,' Jerry
Leahigh. to the scene Of the disturb
ance. On opening the door Of Mateo's
cell the truth was soon revealed. 1t
seens that he tore q strip about two
inches wide from the bed tick. Thii
he fastened to the crate on the door,
and taking q double turn around his
neck made the other end fast. He
then stood upon a bucket. which he
knocked from under his feet. He had
bis back to the door and falling for
ward, the weight Of his body-he being
a man Of probably 200 pounds weight
was sufficient to choke him to death.
He was 50 far gone when found that
he could not be restored. Coroner
Philson held an inquest yesterday
afternoon. 81 IN VI
