Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1873-03-19

queer notions OF the mission OF o news
paper. Almost daily we get through the
mails the particulars of husband drub-
bling his wife, mining foreman or en-
gineer recklessly endangering the lives
of his workmen, or an official shutting
his eyes to avoid the performance of an
official duty, or of some outrage on COM
mon decency or law of the kind; but the
anonymous scribblers are always careful
to Withhold their own names. They will
prosecute the war against the objects of
their indignation if, like ARENAS Ward,
"they have to sacrifice all their able
bodied relations;" but are careful not to
get into the breach themselves. Now,
we say, once for all, we have to engage in
more fights for the public than We relish,
and positively decline picking up the
glove in private troubles. Please don't
send us any more anonymous letters.
How IT WAS DoNE.-It is, Of course,
against prison rule to furnish whisky
to the inmates of the county Jail; but
Phoebe woman managed to get around

She approached the bars, with another
woman, ostensibly to hold CONVERSE

prison keeper had NO objection. But
gurgling noise attracted his attention,
and investigation revealed the fact that
the woman was pouring whisky between
the bars through a paper funnel, the
little end of which was in her incarcer-
ated friends mouth.
