Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1877-08-21


female accomplishment, if the performance of
two women yesterday on the principal high
way leading from the city, can be taken in
evidence of that fact. About noon, yester-
day two females, driving double buggy team
were coming down the Warm Springs road,
conversing in very loud and hilarious tone,
which would lead the casual observer to suppose
that they had hoisted in large quantity of
spiritual consolation in liquid form All at
once the horses were reigned up and the two
women seen to alight upon terra frna They
Immediately placed themselves in prize
fighter attitude, and began series Of sparring
and lodging and parrying, accompanied by
adiectives of a nature to make parsons
blood curdle, } with tact that would have
elected great applause from any professional
pummeler. In point Of physique, the women
were unequally matched; one about three
| inches shorter in stature than the other, but
| both compactly built. After considerable
sparring without drawing claret from the
proboscis on either side, the taller woman
| finding that her hustle was becoming disar-
| ranged, and placing too much faith in the
generosity and forbearance OF ner antagonist
proceeded to fit the thing, when the little
woman got IN foul blow and the tall one
went to grass. There were no bottle holders,
or referees present; but merchant Of this
city witnessed the performance, who, when
the taller expounder Of the Womanly science
of self defense sought mother earth, issued a
verbal protest against q continuance Of this
sanguinary battle. For his Interference he
was blessed in very unohrstianlike manner,
As no further demonstrations were to be al
lowed by the dlslnterested locker on, the
little woman took possession of the team and
drove to Carson, where she likely related her
conquest to numerous admirers and the
taller one was by force of necessity compelled |
to foot it. The casus beIh could not be |
learned, bat infer that it was corn Juice |
Neither were the names Of she belgerents |
obtainable, but judging from their facial
appearance, they could be appropriately |
named Black eyed Moll ard Bloody nosed |
Kate.
The pernicious, deleterious and much con-
demned habit of opium smoking is again max
ing itself manifest among low order OF
Notwithstanding of society. Sunday afternoon
several women, who were not like Caesars
wife, could have been seen vending their way
leisurely toward Chinatown, where it was ev,
identity their fixed purpose to intoxicate
themselves with the fumes OF that poisonous
drug, by means of dirty pipes which most
likely have been sucked by many filthy COO
lie mouth. The habit Of smoking opium is
more degrading in its effects and more per-
sistent in its hold upon the appetite of the
habtue, than all the other vices with which
the Caucasian race is familiar. Once one be- +
comes a slave to all opium pipe land it re
bor %C ba
come SOY, this one may well bid farewell to
all ambition, energy, hope and self-respect.
Opium smoking is a curse which must not be
tolerated to take firm foothod i'll our midst,
and laws have been enacted making it mis-
demeanor for any white person found guilty
of this debasing practice. We desire to in
vite the attention of the police to this fact,
and to suggest that the Aw be enforced TO the
letter whenever and wherever a case of this
kind presents itself to their observation.
