ABOUT AN OLD RESIDENT. find in
the San Francisco Chronicle relation
of an incident which occurred in the CAL
ifornia Legislature of similar character
to the Somers-Wilcox outrage. In that
instance the aggressor was the late
Charles A. Lsake, formerly well-known
resident Of this county. The Chronicle.
says: Colby, who was for Broderick for
United States Senator, was opposed to
the extension of the time in which mas
tiers might carry the slaves out of the
State, and Leake, who was Gwin man,
favored it. Colby, in reply to Leake, de.
MED the higher law allegation, and de-
clarea when the Senator from Calaveras
made it he Abbed outright. but Colby
Il used word of only four letters. When
the Senate adjourned for the day Colby
sat at bis desk writing. and Lsake went
n aside, borrowed the heavy sword cane of
b Major Hook, Senator from FL Dorado,
stole up behind Colby and dealt him a
murderous blow on the head. Colby was
stunned, but he rose, warded off the Sec
n ond blow, grappled with Leake at close
d quarters, threw him on one of the desks
to wrench his spine, but the desk gave
n way, when Colby, with the foot and hip
toss OF wrestler. threw Leake, breaking
one Of his legs. Leake was not out Of
his room for four weeks. and was brought
into the Senate at the end of that time
on crutches to vote for Gwin, but he was
adisgraced and ruined man. He lost
caste, friends, associates, and he never
held his head up afterwards. Colby was
not injured in the least either in body,
mind or public estimation; and poor
Leake, when all the world had turned
against him for his foul act, went to
Colby and cried like child for forgive
ness
