The FIRST Vol. OF TESTIMONY AND
TALK IN RAYMOND & ELY VS.. HERMEs.-
Some of the close results Immediately
obtairable from short-han report of
trial in Court afford curious and salts
factory statement. In the trial in pro-
gress in our District Court, up to the
close of the plaintiffs case in chiet-ex-
elusive of the argument one afternoon,
and few hundred folios of unlmportant
side talk-there were about 672, 500 words |
uttered, by counsel, witnesses and Judge. |
This estimate will not vary 5000 words |
either way from the exact figures. So |
that, expecting one half as uch utter
ance for the defence and one-quarter |
more for rebuttal--a reasonab G expec-
taton-there will be over one million
two hundred thousand words on the
record for this great mining II. Of |
course very little of the arg ment is
ordinarily written out; and its proper
ton to the testimony has not been calcu-
lated in this instance,-the estimate be-
ing made from the original notes. One
tenth for the argument and debate is |
liberal allowance SO far-leaving over six
thousand folios of raw testimony for
plaintiff.
Nor MUspERER.--The Reese River
Reveille, in contradicting statements of
correspondent of the White Pine News,
says of" Dutch George, who was indicted
by tie Grand Jury of this county for
stealing lot OF cattle, that it is an act
of injustice to George Lambert, or
Dutch George" as he is more generally
designated, to charge him with numbering
Bill Maize in 1868, for the killing was, up
on examination, proven to be accidental
| even had it been intentional, the circum-
stances were such that Lambert would
have been perfectly justifiable in taking
the life of Bill, who was in the act of
committing a robbery upon shm at the
time an accidental shot from Georges
siy-shooter. put an end to his life. In
fact, Tom Napier, who was with Bill at
the time, was indicted, convicted and
sent to State Prison for assault with a
deadly weapon with intent to commit
highway robbery" Lambert was at that
time au industrious, inoffensive and mp
parentlv honest Dutchman, but like many
others, after he had chilled his man,
he began to imagine himself fighter, quit
work and became dissolute.
A BIG EXCITEMENT AND SM,LL FIRE.

above the highest hydrant, the Hose boys
could render no assistance.
