SILVER CRY. Jan. 20. 1876

SILVER CRY, Jan. 20, 1876.
To the Editor of the Lyon County
Times; Dear Sir:-Will you be
good enUugh to allow me the privi-
lege Of trespassing on your valuable
space. I have observed in your is
sue Of this morning, what purport-
ed to be q report of the case of
Estate of Nevada at the prosecution
of Mary Ann Crosby versus Ellen
Freeze" tried before Mr.. Justice
Gould on the 18 day of January
inst, in which you denominate it
farce. I beg to differ with your, it
was not farce NOR a theatrical en-
tertainment, The case was one
which wss brought under the prov
ision of the statute law OF the State
of Nevada, tried before a competent
judicial officer of the County of
Lyon, and an intelligent and i'm
partial jury of II men, citizens of
Lyon County, and summoned to
try said case at the instance Of def
endant. Evidence was introduced
which was perfectly relevant to the
case and reliable and truthful from
the witnesses on behalf of the pros
ecution, which evidence was corrob-
GRATED by the defendant. SO far as
your remarks 70 me as prosecuting
attorney go, I must say that my ar
gument in any stage of its delivery
did not tend to shield Mrs. Freeze,
and that l suffer from no impede
ment of the vocal organs which
would necessitate unnecessary rep
etition. 30 far as my professional
connection with that case is con-
cerned, I am happy to say that I
acted for Miss Crosby with honor
to myself and advantage to her.
Therefore if there is any man in the
township who would find fault with
me, or who has found fault with me
by reason of my acting 30 profess
ionally, of him I have no favors to
ask or apologies to make, and do
only take this opportunity Of intim-
ating that such man (if any there
bel deserves to be we'll thrashed by
Mrs. Freeze with that broom handle
for which that brazen virago paid
the sum of S51 80: amount Of fine
and costs. t...
Respectfully yours,
JOHN CRoNIN.
We cheerfully accord Mr.. Cronin
space in our columns to refute any
fancied reflection upon himself. In
answer to the above we have this to
say: That no unkind reflections
were intended to be cast on anyone,
but we maintain it is the preroga-
tive OF free press to report all
events that will in terest the public,
without fear, favor or restraint. If
any person or persons feel offended
or aggrieved they, too, have their
remedy, ours is the tribunal of
public opinion.

VALEDICTORY.

By an arrangement satisfactory t."
myself and the publisher OF the
TINES, my connection with the
PAPER was severed on the LIST day Of
January, 1875. During the period
that have assisted In its editorial
management, my relations with both
patrons and the publisher, Mr.. F.
Kenyon, have been of. the most
pleasant character, and in saying
goodbye to each, can but eztend
nv best wishes for the continued
prosperity Of the TIMES and the
future happiness of its readers. For
nv successor, ! bespeak all kind.
ness, and feel sure that he will be
acceptable TO all. At present, laid up
from the effects Of the serious ACCT
dent of New Years Day, my future
course is yet undetermined; but clos.
ing with hope to still contribute
my mite 10 the interest Of Nevada
papers. / am respectfully,
HARRY ]. NORTON,
Late Associate Editor TINES.

STocKs.--The public are at present
much interested in the daily fluctu-
alton of the stock market. 1t is a
season when fortunes, or at least big
stakes are made upon the cast of the
die. They sometimes fall 20 or rise
so per cent during the day, and
either way a person may catch them
is to their financial advantage. We
had the liberty of looking over
some of the contracts made by KEEL
logg & Co., of "put" and "call"
fame; saw where one party had, on
an investment of 81 so, netted within
three days $2l9, and others in less
and some in longer time been more
fortunate. We cannot in our limited
space give detailed description of
this method, but from what we saw
can safely advise any one with small
means to try it. BY applying at
their office in the Odd Fellows
building, Virginia City, full and
satisfactory explanation will be
given, or pamphlets forwarded by
mail.

DEADLY ASSAULT. - Yesterday
evening, Mr.. John Mahanny, fore
man Of the Cosmopolitan mine, was
assaulted by miner working un-
der him at that mine, with a knife.
AS near as we can learn the partiou-
lars are as follows: Mr.. Mahanny
was reclining on the bed in his
room. at Mr.. Atkinson's, when the
miner, John Smith, entered and
after few words drew q large
knife and made for Mahanny, but
before he could do any damage q
'nird party interfered and prevent
Cd ploodshed. Smith was arrested
and taken before Justice Gould,
when the complaint OF assault with
a deadly weapon was withdrawn
ana that Of assault and battery sub
e'itueed. This was done at the re-
quest OF Mr.. Mahanny, who also
desired that the fine be made as
small as possible. and the defen-
dant be- bound over to keep the
peace. This was done, the fine being
only ss1, and bonds for preserving
the peace Placed at $500, in de-
fault Of which he was sent to
the County Jail. We believe some
trouble or words had passed between
them at the mine, and Smith, getting
under the influence of liquor, made
the attack. When not SO af-
iected with drink he is a
very Industrious, inoffensive man.
For this reason the foreman didn't
desire to prosecute him, as the
merits Of the case uaman led.

Police CoURT.-On Friday, Mrs.
Freeze again boiled over and made
rash threats against the life and hap.
piness Of Mary Ann Crosby, where
with, Mary Ann had her arrested
upon that complaint and the second
act Of the drama began. Msry's wit
nesses testified to the madame's
belligerancy. She took offence at
this and plainly told them they
lied, and when District Attorney
Cronin interposed in tones much too
loud and authoritative for q refined
counsel, she animated that his alb
sence from the classic boys of ire
land was not Of sufficient length for
him to assume the full preroga,ive of
an American citizen. For while
II would bother an uninterested
spectator To tell which was the most
guilty of contempt of Court. But
her frequent comments on the testi-
mony elected so much amusement
from the court room statues, that the
Judge committed her to jail for the
sake of peace, aud aijoUrnod until
Saturday 10 p. NJ. The case ended
In Mrs. Freeze being bound over to
keep the peace under $500 bonds
or abide in the County jail. She
was perfectly able to furnish the
requisite amount, but preferred so.
journing awhile within the precincts
OF that orderly institution. The last
seen Of the Madame she aud the
Judge were mingling tears over a
common cause. Hers fell fast, but
his Honor's were large and looked
like crystal marbles rolling of his
cheeks. 1t is to be hoped that this
play Is at last ended, and each actor
and actress retired from public gaze,
for though they have afforded much
amuse ment for the people, too ire
quent repetition Is apt to grow mo.
nOtonous.

The Same shop with Another Sign.

Of what avail will it be to elect
Hayes instead of Grant? 1t will con-
time the same old shop, in which the
same business will be carried on in the
same way, by the same gang of hands;
only there will be another name paint
ed over the door; that is all.
Would Grants eighty thousand Of
fee holders be so active in their efforts
to elect Mr.. Hayes if they did not ex-
pect to retain their Offices under him
What do they care whose name is
over the shop door, whether it be
Grant or Hayes, so long as they retain
the same situations, with the same
emoluments
The change would be mostly mat
ter of paint and putty-Grant erased
and the new letters, which spell Hayes
substituted. n
The change with Tilden would be
radical and entire. New men as well
as new measures will rule the day.
There will bea change, pretty nearly a
clean sweep, and we leave it to the
sober sense of the country if it would
not be difficult to make change
that would not be for the better.
There wonld be something more
than a change in the name over the
door. The workmen within would be
changed, and the peoples work
be honestly and faithfully done.--lNew
