| ATTACKED BY A TRAMP-Late on Sunday
evening Edward Patterson, who works on
Nevers' ranch, while on his way home from
town, Was stopped on the road near the old
round house, by seedy looking fellow who
asked him for a match. Patterson said he had
none and without stopping. signifed a desire
to proceed on his way, but the stranger de-
manded an interview, to which Patterson
objected The stranger said that he must
stop and talk with him. This was too much
for Patterson, and he drew his pistol to de-
fend himself. The former, however, got
the best of his man by getting his pistol out
first and fired, without, fortunately, hitting
Patterson. The latter then fired, and
he thinks winged his game, for the fellow
gave utterance to groan and fed Patter
son then ran to the ranch for aid to assist
hun in the search for his asstInnt. Several
men turned out, but nothing could be found
of the wounded tramp, robber, or whatever
he may be.
DIsGRACEFUL-Mo every night at very
late hour, the boots and hoNls Of drunken
prostitutes are heard on Carson street. They
run from saloon to saloon and use language
which would shame the most deprayed male
outcast. Yet no arrests are ever made.
Parties who sleep in the stores and offices on
Carson street between Second and Third, say
scarcely night passes that one or more
of them do not make " Rome
howl" on that block. What is the officer doing
whose duty it is to look after this nuisance.
1t is to be hoped that he will see that this
disgraceful business is discontinued, or the
matter ough: to be looked into by the City
Trustees.
ANOTHER GROwL.-There is a gang of young
hoodlums in town, whose ages range from II
to 10 years, headed by boy named Kelly,
after whom the police ought to look They
are the most villainous young dogs that dis
grace any community in the State. These boys
are in the habit of nfesting the Ormsby House
block mostly every evening, and conduct
themselves in the most outrageous manner.
Their impertinent conduct is disgusting to all
who come within ear shot of them. AS their
parents do not appear to take much interest
in them, we would suggest that the police
lock up the gang.
the residents of Sutro are bathing in the
fumes which carry the water from the flooded
mines, which at FIVE miles off they say is too
hot They should come down here and get
dip at Swift's, where they can have any tenn
perature When Lew issues with an arm
load of honey comb and Russian towels, he
only asks, 'soft, hard or medium" referring
to the degree to which you want to be cooked,
just as waiter enquiries about your eggs and
you get cooked just as you prefer. No fume |
business in ours; give us Swifts, FIRST, last and |
all the time.
