Tom Worthington, the would be
bicamist, says Saturdays SitreT State,
who shot Benjamin Richards on the
cars last Friday night, was admitted to
bail upon his own re~cognizance.
Richards, the wounded man, is now
considered out of danger, and declined
to prosecute Wo%rthington, IL he would
let his daughter alone and leave the
country. This, it appears, Worthing-
ton, whose love of freedom overcome
his love for the girl, agreed to do, and
the District Attorney and Justice Da.
Wis, having no evidence against him,
him to bail, ~ stated.
Worthington, we understand, left last
night for parts unknown, and it is not
likely that he will trouble the Rich
ards family again, or ever make his APP
pearance in Winnemucca. The father
Is overjoyed mt his departure, and the
girl cannot regret it, as a consuinma-
ton Of his promises could only lead to
her ruin or his imprisonment i'm the
penitentiary, as he has a wife aud three
children in Indiana. His lawyer, NJ.
:. Bonnifield, with whom the cir, has
been stopping, says Worthington has
returned to the East, and he advises
the girl to return to- her parents, and
Danish all thoughts of him from her
mind.
Some enterprising persons of this
city, says the Enterprise, are at work
getting up three purses to be bestowed
upon successful competitors in another
race up and down the mountain next
Sunday. This race is open to all per-
o ~ who may choose to try their wind
and speed. The size of the purses. of
cannot be given now, but
sufficient success has already been met
with to warrant a fair remuneration to
those who are successful in the race.
The starting point will he & street. cor
ner of Union, and the race will be as
before, tn the flagstaff and back to the
starting point. The time when the race
is to take place will be given hereafter.
The money raised will he divided into
three parts, and be distributed among
the three making the best time, IN the
proportion of five, three and two, to
the first, second and third winners re-
~spectively. AS II does not cost any
thing TO make the trial, and any n
will be at liberty at any time he
chooses to fall out, the probabilities
are that the number Of competitors
will DO large, and probably some
hitherto unknown M may retire
from the contest with both coin and
fame.
