THE Dallas herald gives the following
daacri r,tiou- Of the nav enlnrk hnnsa.

THE Dallas herald gives the following
description of the new court house:
The walls are hard granite rough dressed,
with finished facings, the stone having beer
hauled from quarry six miles east of this
city. The building is sixty-six by one hun.
dred and ten feet square, two stories high,
surmouhted, first, by handsomely finished
balustrades, crowned by splendid dome,
affording an lndescriba6ly grand and pic
turesque view Of the surrounding country
for many, miles In every direction. The
ground floor is crossed by broad and trans
verse hallsLeast and west, north and south
: giving a finished ifrnt to each side.
Each Corner is divided into two large and
elegantly plastered rooms, being eight in
all, each with fire place. Two are occu-
pied by the district clerk, who fills the trip
Heated relation Of clerk to the district. Grim.
inal and county courts One is occupied by
the presiding justice of the county, another
by the sheriff, one by the treasurer and SUE
veyor, and one by the district attorney.
The Others are rented as offices for profess
sional uses.
Ascending by double stairway, from the
north hail to half hall above, the second
floor is divided into two superb court rooms
-each forty.ffve by sixty-six feet-two fine
jury rooms, and an entrance to the stairway
leading to the dome above. The 'heigth OF
the first ceiling is fourteen feet, and of the
second twenty-three feet. The floor of the
dome is sixty feet above the ground, and
six hundred and forty feet above the level
of the sea- The extreme point Of the
steeple is one hundred and nine feet above
the ground, and six hundred and eighty.
nine feet above the sea.
The whole work, stone and wood, is exc
cuted in the most, fauitless manner. The
doors and windows, in shape, proportion
and finish are worthy of the strictest ar.
chltecturaf criticism. Inc whole is as per
feet in design and finish as Sir Christopher
Wren could demand.
The grand total cost of the edifce is from
seTenty-five thousand to eighty thousand
dollars LIN no event exceeding the latter
figures,
The same paper says that realestate opera
.tions aggregate over half million dollars
since january.

THE ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE
DIR. TAIIAFERKD.

From the San Rafael Journal of March %. |
Our citizens were thrown into a state
of great excitement and Indignation mt
Il little past 9 o'clock Monday evening,
by the arrival of DIR. \. w. Taliaferro,
with Il severe pistol wound in his left
ann. his horse painting and foaming,
and himself faint and teverish from
loss of blood and excitement.
The doctor had been out to Mr.. Mail
lard's on a friendly errand, and, as is
his wont, had indulgeI in game of
chess with the agreeable hostess of the
Maillard manse. About 8 o'clock Mr..
Maillard wanted to put up the doctors
horse, and urged him to spend the
night. 70 this the doctor thought he
could not assent, owing to professional
duties. After his positively declining
to remain, Mr.. Maillard said, "Well,
then, doctor, I want YOU to 90 right
home. | feel superstiious about it. l
don't like TO have you out late to-
night" But the doctor stayed and
finished his game, and took his leave.
The night was moonlight, the ride
home promised to be Il delightful one,
and rider and Stced were enjoying the
descent of the eastern slope of Whites
Hill, when suddenly the doctor was
aware of a presence on his left, and in
stantly a pistol was fired at him, the
ball entering his arm. Obeying his
first impulse, he spurred up his horse
| for flight, expecting more shots in the
rear, but no more were fired. An eN-
animation Of the wound revealed that
the doctor had had Il very narrow es-
cape with his life. The ball struck his
arm on the back or outside, caromed
81 81
i shoulder. Had it struck an inch or so
| further forward, it must have pierced
the arm and entered the heart.
As soon as the dastardly outrage had
| become known, a party of four started
to scour the hills in search of the
wOuld-be assassin, and the indignation
of our towns people rose to a boiling
pitch. Several parties have been out
in pursuit of the highwaymcn. Mr..
| Walter II. Brand, the lOrkSmith, has
traced the follows, displaying much
detective skill. George Mason and
| Mr.. Gilligan made a reconnaissance on
Monday night. \. C.. McAlliSter and
j. Tunstead came upon traces of Vaga-
bonds in an empty shanty on the Lu-
cas- place, yesterday morning, and it is
| believed that the foul deed was per-
| petrated by two fellows who were seen
in town few days since, and who,
unless they have effected return to
the city, will be captured. Sheriff
| Olds went out on their path on Tues
day, officer Green went to SaucelitO
and the city, and all the people on the
rancho adjacent to the scene of the
utrage are on the watch.
DR.. Taliaterro is rapidly recovering.
The danger OF fever is past, and he eN-
poets to be in the saddle again before
long, as good a target as ever.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION

from the Los Angeles Express, 23d.
a dastardly attempt was made on
the life of j. +. Price, at his house in
Green Meadows, six miles below town,
Friday night, He was aroused about
midnight by loud knocks at his door,
and pressing demand for admittance.
Before going to his door he raised his
window and stretched out to see who it
was. As he did so, Il shot was fired.
ana the bullet tore away part of his
face. He raised an alarm and the as
sassin fled. DR.. Shorb was called YES
terday to dress his wound and finds
that it will not prove serious. Mr..
Price had been paid a sum of money
for grain few days before, and it is
believed robbery was the object of the
assassin.
