Many wives.


Iron the Carson Appeal. July 2sth
About q week since q strange lady ar
rived in this city and registered at u
Of the hotels. Her very genteel APP
pearance attracted the attention OF all in
whose society she was. for the time be-
ing. thrown but her very reticent man.
nsr concerning where she cams from.
her object in coming and her destination
was even moro noticeable. On Sunday
morning last she left her temporary
place Of abode and engaged passage ON
the southern stage for Genoa. When
the coach arrived ut that point the usual
small crowd was at the station to see
what passengers were aboard. The
idlen who saw the aforementioned gen.
teel lady alisht had no idea that she
would give them food for the choicest
bit Of scandal-mongering which ever fell
to the lot OF tho ultra respectable &C.
noese.
The lady went TO the hotel and WAS
shown into the parlor OF tho house.
which was at the time occupied by sew
eral other ladies. She Immediately in
stituted inquiries respecting m Il. c.
Guirado, when one OF the ladies' stepped
up and said 81 can give you all the
information you wish respecting the son-
tleman /; he Is my husband" The
stranger looked perfectly terror-stricken
at this announcement. and il was sew
eral momsnts ere she could gain sufii-
Gent presence Of mind to reply. when
she said /: You must DO mista-
ken. madam. for he is my husband"
This naturally produced a very senti.
mental scene. rs could be well expected.
At length the two ladies decided to visit
Guirado's place Of business. he keeping
a drugstore in that town. Guirado's
CONSERVATION at seeing his two wives
enter his store at time must have
been perfectly agonizing. What passed
there is only known to themselves.
However, soon after this visit. the
strange lady swore out q warrant for the
arrest Of Guirado on a charge OF bigamy.
and as he is unable to furnish bail. he
Is languishing in the Bastile Of Genoa.
The accused denies ever having been
married to the lady who claims TO be his
first wife, but does not deny that ho had
for u long while prior to his coming to
this State lived with her upon terms Of
the greatest intimacy. The lady. on the
contrary. r-futes Guirado's statements,
and says that she was married to bin
somewhere in the southern part OF CAL
i~fornis, and to s~ubstantiaie these facts
she has ~telegraphed to Los Angeles to
her brother. who lives there. to come 10
her and bring her marriage certificate
and the affidavit OF the Justice Of the
Peace who married them. This brother
with her evidence are expected to ar
rive here on the train this morning.
when the guilt or innocence OF the
accused will beyond a shadow Of doubt
be established. Much sympathy is man.
Tested for the strange lady at Genoa.
who, strange to relate, Is temporarily
residing with the mother OF the accused's
second wife. while the latter is living at
n hotel. II will be remembered that this
man Guirado married the daughter OF
the late Postmaster Davis Of Genoa,
about q year ago. and the wedding was
made very impressive by tho bridegroom
engaging in q shooting scrape with law
yer Tebbs, In which neither Of the con-
testants were injured. Guirado is a
brothsr.in-lav Of Ex-Governor Downey
OF California. and at one time kept the
drug store now occupied by b. +. Foster
in this city.
