Stella Gates tool, the part Of the dame who
resided in the shoe, and Mr.. c. ScOville that
Of Santa Claus The children were repre-
scented by the company. Mr.. Santa Claus

The kind old lady did not turn him away
but called her children, who appeared with
onions, carrots, potatoes, apples, and well
selected assortment Of other fruits and veg
etables, mostly ON poles, with which they
loaded down the hungry traveller. Then as a
reward for their kindness and generosity to
the poor, he told the children they should
have
CHRISTMAS TREE.
When, presto, change, he transforms him
self into the original, jolly old Santa Claus,
the shoe falls apart and in its place appears
a loaded Christmas tree The whole per

carried out, and not only the children in the
shoe, but all the Sunday School boys and

MAYHEM AND ROBBERY.
TWO CHINA8IEN ARE FEARFULLY MALTREATED
AND ROBBED NEAR FRANKTOWN, BIZ DEMONS
OF THE HIGHWAY

A gentleman who came in from Washo6
| Valley yesterday reports a case Of inhuman
treatment and robbery Of couple Of China
men near FranktoWn, on Wednesday night.
The victims are engaged in gardening upon a
plot Of rented ground, and built upon the
same the huts necessary fo1e their occupation
and habitation. They possessed the usual
characteristics of their race; being industrious
and frugal, and as they had been located
upon their garden plot for several years it is
but natural to suppose that they had accumu-
lated considerable money. At about dusk
on the evening above named two disguised
horsemen rode up to the abode of these hardy
sons Of toll, dismounted and entered the
place. The Cinnamon were occupied in pre-
pairing their evening repast when the desper
ADDE'S entered, and without ceremony tied
them hands and feet and bound their ques
together. After which the robbers ordered
the Cinnamon to disclose where their money
was secreted The Celestials remained OBJ
durate, exhibiting a decided and unmistak
able reluctance to Smelling out their boarded
wealth. This 50 exasperated one of the rob
bers that he cut off the right ear of each of
his victims with Bowie knife, and severed
the ques from their respective craniums. The
unfortunate fellows were writing i'll pain
and agony, but yet would Rot reveal to their
torturers where their money was hidden. The |
fends then proceeded to buck and gag their
defenseless victims, after which they com
menced a careful and systematic survey Of |
every nook and crook about the premises. |
While engaged in this occupation they were
startled by footsteps, and Immediately there
after a third Chinaman came into the hut to
see his friends, and was horror stricken to
see the plight in which they were. He made
! move te retrace his steps, but the rufians
we're too many for him. In the twinkling of
N eye he was pounced upon, bucked and
gagged, but not otherwise injured. The
search was then continued, and after the
apse of half an hour the enterprise Of the
coundrels was substantially rewarded by
hiding a sack containing 81 200 in gold and
liver, sewed up in mattress lying on one Of
he hunks, This money the robbers appro-
oriated TO themselves, remounted their
orses and rode of. to where-no one knows

The FUNERAL yesterday of Mamie T.
Sweeney of this city was probably the largest
private funeral which ever took place in Car
son. There were over forty carriages in line.
The services were held at the Catholic church.
The Rev Father Nulty of Gold Hill oficiated
and delivered a short but very interesting
discourse. Fathers Tormey, Coleman and
Haupt were also present. The church was
filled to its utmost capacity by the many
friends of the bereaved parents. The cir
cumstances of the demise of the little girl
were peculiarly sad. 1t seems she had acct
dentally swallowed piece of nutshell and
after suffering severe agony was, after all hui
man he Up failed, at last relieved by death.
Little Mamie was only eight years of age, but
well known and beloved for her many pleas
ant and attractive childish ways. Her par
ents have our sincere sympathy in their deep
loss.
