Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1877-02-28

PAINFUL AccrDENT.-On Saturday
last a little girl, the daughter OF Mr..
George Foote, Superintendent of the
Devils Gate and Pioneer mills. while
playing on the hillside, picked up
what appeared to be an empty cone
of cartridge, which she has since
told her mother she was trying to
drive on the end of stick which she
was holding in her hand, "to make a
cane" when the thing exploded. al
most tearing the child's lett hand to
pieces. Several of the fingers were
badly mutilated and the interior ten.
dons cut; in fact, the entire inside of
the hand was literally torn into strips.
1t is thought the hand may be saved,
but it will never be as useful as the
other.

Sad Striped Stocking Story.

The pen that keeps the dark record
of mans depravity is forced to write
of deeds blacker than the ink that
flows from its point, and it is be won
dered at that the fluid does not, in
some cases, curdle and refuse to tell
the horrible crimes it is called upon
to depict. The total depravity of
man is proved by the crime we are
about to describe; for, if there is one
offense greater than all others, IL is
this. No torture yet practiced upon
human being is commensurate with
the Nervousness of this transgression
and If any genius invents an sde-
quate one, he can doubtless get a pa
tent for it in all barbarous countries.
Not to further proloDg the sus-
pense of the reader, it may be stated
that some miscreant stole from line,
in Silver City, young lady's striped
stockings. This the reporter heard,
but to learn the name of the fair
owner baMcd his detective ability.
So he wound up his poetic machine
and stuffed it full of acrOstics. Mark
the mysterious result:
Many ladies striped stockings wear.
And. among hundreds, do I dare
Repeat the nsme' No I declare
will not. Right here I swear
All shall be unnamed. 80, there
Not being able to learn the name
Of the loser, the reporter next set the
machine to tell what sort of mean
man made more stealing than at
honest toll, and the following lines
came jingling out:
You ask who, In my belief.
Would. knowing the same, harbor
A striped stockings thief,
answer Silver City barber.
1t now only remained for the re-
porter to learn the motive which
prompted this hitherto unheard Of
crime; so the machine was again
wound up and set in motion. Here
is what it said:
Is It . motive you'd be after esttin'.
Why he striped stockings stolef
For q purpose they're very nttin'-
Sure. he'll save re.painting his pole.
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1877-02-28

From the report of the Legislative
Committee appointed to visit the
Woodbridge Asylum, we extract the
following ave arrived there on the
morning Of January twenty third,
and devoted the day to careful and
minute examination Of the condition,
care, and keeping of the patients
therein, as to the food, sleeping ac-
commodations, medical treatment,
and other matters Herewith connect
ed. From our careful inspection,
we arrived unanimously at the con-
clusion that those there confined
were we'll fed, comfortably lodged,
and considerably and humanely
treated, with only such restraint as
was necessarily imposed. In this
the observations and conclusions of
your committee were confirmed by
the testimony Of a gentleman, one Of
their number, who has had occasion
at various times during the last two
years to visit this institution, his testi-
mony being, that as We found it, so
he had uniformly found it on his
several visits. The houses and
grounds were clean and neatly kept,
the kitchen and cooking department
we'll provided with substantial and
nutritive food, beds comfortable and
we'll arranged, and the ventilation in
all the departments unexceptionable.
To the matter Of ventilation your
committee paid particular attention,
they having learned that the COM
mittee appointed by the Legislature
of this State had reported it to be i'm
perfect and insufficient. The patients
themselves were comfortably clothed,
and seemed contentcd, save with the
exception Of almost universally de-
string to be freed from restraint, and
thinking 1t hardship to be deprived
Of their liberty feature which
seemed general in all the institu-
tions we visited.
"The structures in which the pa
tients are kept are wooden, matter
of regret to your committee not
that the climate demands more SUBJ
stantial buildings, but lest at some
time a fire should occur, which, to
such an institution, from the char
acter Of its inmates, is much to be
dreaded"
