Mixed SWindIing.

CALIFORNIA has this drama: One Whit
| ney, having a sum of money in bank, and
| owing an equal sum, consulted one
| Dixon as to the best means of avoiding
| payment. Dixon promptly cOunseled
that Whitney should withdraw the money
| and lodge it secretly in his hands, so that
| it could not be attached by legal process
| This was done; out when Whitney de
| sired to withdraw the sum from his in
| genious and guileless friend the latter de
MED all knowledge of the transaction
| Thereupon the despoiled Whitney Graves
the interposition of the law, and makes a
clean breast of i. The legal myrmidons
overhaul Dixon, and it is at last dis
covered that he has made over the cash to
an evil woman named Richardson, with
| the understanding that both are to t1v re
| joining each other in distant city, where
they can diffuse the booty in peace
| Searching and urgent investigation of this
| person disclosed the fact that she had just
| perfected her arrangements to throw over
| board her fellow felon and run away with
another man; man Of the HOoClum
color, with taking eye and correct
taste in hair oil. Search for this young
man brought to light the amusing fact
that he had spent quite portion of the
money in purchasing a fugitive outfit for
| another young woman, who, as soon as
she had got the articles, did literally and
| actually fly with still another young man
about whom nothing is known, except
that he seems to be the only one in this
! strange succession of criminals who has
reaped any of the fruits Of the original
crime. Considering the extreme compli-
cation and embarrassment of everybody
concerned, and the small likelihood that
| he will ever get any Of his money back, it
is possible that Whitney may now almost
wish THAI, instead of modifying his capi-
| tai in that secret fashion, he had quietly
paid his debts with it.
| A REMARKABLE breach Of promise case
was tried in a Pittsburgh court, recently.
| In this case the forlorn and broken heart
| ed damsel commenced suit, several months
| ago, against the man who refused to fulfil
| his promise of marrying her, and during
! its progress married another man. The
curious incident was therefore witnessed,
of married woman bringing suit against
man, who was by this time also married,
for refusing to marry her. The jury found
it difficult to decide what amount would
| fifty heal her lacerated heart.
