He has swindled number of individuals
on similar representations, and for the
past two weeks the wharves have been
visited by numerous wagons looking for
the schooner. He has served several
terms in the County Jail and was City
Prison trusty for long time.
Ex-senator Nye has not recovered his
health and reason, as reported. When |
be was removed from the asylum his re-
covery is considered hopeless.
Sam. Hollis, for the shooting Of Chris. |
Molitista some months since. says the |
Eureka Seminal OF the 4tb. was yester-
day convicted Of an assault with intent |
to commit murder, the penalty for which |
is q term in the State Prison from one TO |
fourteen years, in the discretion of the |
Judge. Mr.. Wren, aided by the District |
Attorney, conducted the prosecution, and |
Hillhouse and Davenport appeared for
the defense. Hollis has wife and child |
for whom there is much sympathy e1-
pressed.
A man named William Mitchell, whose |
wife was living in house of prostitution
in San Bernardino. California, went from
Los Angeles to that city last week, and
at an carly hour Tuesday morning he |
proceeded to her room and demanded to |
pass the night with her, at the same time
giving her 500 piece. She declined to
have anything to do with him, and as
she was returning the money be drew
pistol and shot her through the left tenn
pie, killing her instantly. The murderer
was arrested.
Says the Reveille: A Young lady OF this
city, who wears false teeth, on retiring
last night removed her teeth from her
mouth and placed them in tumbler Of
water. On arising this morning, she
found the teeth imbedded in cake OF
ice, the water in the tumbler having been
frozen during the night. There being no
stove in the room, the lady was obliged
to build bonfire of matches and candle
ends on the bureau, and thaw out her
teeth before she dared to descend to the
breakfast table; as there is young man
from Reese River valley staying at the
house, who don't know that she wears
false teeth and a glass eye-snd it is
probable that bis intentions are serious.
The State Journal has this to say on a
subject which is quite interesting just
now: Seeth thou an ice on the tagging,
which same hath no ashes thrown there
on verify it is in front of the house of
the slothful man, and his sidewalk con-
taineth many holes. He sitteth by the
fire to keep himself warm; neither will
he depart for an armful of wood. When
the housewife crieth aloud for g pail of
water, behold he hath not his boots on.
In the day when the snow cometh he Sc
cludeth himself. He saith unto his
shovel. ha. ha; let US rest in peace. So
his sidewalk is an abomination in the
eyes of the people, and his name is in
every mans mouth. In the day OF pow
erty it will be better for Stevenson than
for that man, for he breaketh Sims and
maketh wounds.
Referring to late suicide the San Fran.
cisco Chronicle Of January LIST says:
Yesterday morning Abraham Cohen. of
No. 467 Tehama street, arose at half-past
six o'clock and went into the bathroom
adjoining the sleeping apartment. A
quarter Of an hour later Mrs. Cohen
went to the bathroom, but could not
gain admission. She knocked. but re-
ceived no reply. SO she summoned her
eldest son, who forced open The door
and discovered his father dead in the
bath.tub with his throat cut from ear to
ear. In the bath-tub was found an open
razor which the deceased had used. The
Coroner was notified and held an inquest.
The jury returned verdict of suicide.
The deceased, who wss native of Po-
land, fifty-one years of age. and leaves a
widow with seven children. had been un-
fortunate in stock speculations for some
time previous to his death. 1t is sup
posed that this was the cause which led
him to take his life.
