OF late there has been much marrying
and giving in marriage in this town, says
the Enterprise of the 18th. Even the
Chinese have caught the infection. At
Justice Knox's courtroom last Saturday
evening All Something welded Cow
Somebody. Old Sam Sing will next be
taking q bride. Should he marry the
mother Of the Hop Sing faction the Chi
nese war might be brought to a happy
close and some OF the remaining funeral
meats might be warmed up for the mar
riage feast.
The San Francisco Bulletin says:
Poverty, however unpleasant and dis
tasteful, does not according to Judge
Wheeler's ruling constitute good plea
for divorce. In the case of Eliza J.
johnson vs. Albert johnson, the plaintiff
asks for divirce on the ground that the
defendant had not the means to support
her. The Court held that there was no
allegation of proof that the defendant
was idle. disssolute or profigate, and
however much poverty might destroy the
| sentiment OF romance in matrimony, it
still could not be accepted % ground for
legal separation; hence the application
for divorce was denied.
Last Tuesday night. says the Sentinel
Of the 18th. coal-hauler camped in the
valley between this place and the hay
ranch. securing his horses by tying them
to the wheels of the wagon. In the
morning he found one of the animals
lying by the wagon dead, having frozen
curry sunk to four degrees below zero
that night in Eureka. and it was doubt
less much colder in the valley. The
horse that died bad just been taken of q
ranch, while the others had been fed for
some time with hay and grain and we're
in good order. did not appear to suffer
materially from the effects OF the cold.
During the late raid by the Vigilance
Committee upon the hoodlum element of
the Base Range, says the Sentinel. chap
Who had been waiting for long time to
get of to the Black Hills. but who had
never had enough coin ahead to take him
as far as Alpha afoot, went around CON-
planning that he had received notice
from COL to leave town inside OF forty
eight hours; that be had MT dollar in
the world. and did MT know what to do.
His terror and grief were 80 affecting
and apparently genuine that number OF
soft.hearted individuals dubbed together
and raised him sufficient sum to take
him to Cheyenne. II has since trans
pired that he never received any notice
from the committee, and that his pre-
tended terror was dodge to raise stake
to enable him to leave. Should the Gun
ming rascal ever return to the Base Range
the chances are that his victims would
! raise little vigilance committee OF theil
| own for his especial benefit.

here after the fire-at least no one re
