Feminine Revenge.


lSonoma Democrat, Sept u.
The town of Forestville was
thrown into q state Of excitement
on Sunday night by an attempt Oh
the part Of Mss Georgia Travis to
shoot j. &. Hill. The facts of the
affray, as state to us by one of the
principals, il rs follows: Mr.. Hill.
accompanied by two young ladies,
LETT the residence of james II ok
man to attend church. One OF the
ladies was walking ahead of Mr..
|aHlIl and the other young lady.
After they had proceeded short
distance the lady in advance was
Joined by Miss Travis, and they ali
went along together. Before they
had arrived opposite Faudre's
chair factory, Mr.. Hill and his
companion had passed the other
two, and were walking few feet
ahead of them. When they arrived
within fifty yards of the chair fac
tory, Miss Travis drew "A "bull-dOgr
pistol and fired at Mr.. Hill the ball
passing within an inch of his head,
aud passing through the rim of his
hat. Mr.. Hill sprang to one side
closely pursued by Miss Travis, who
| fired second shot at him. He then
| turned and seized her. James
Hickman, who had been attracted
by the firing, came up at that mo
ment, and Miss Travis gave him
the pistol. Mr.. Hill and the two
ladies proceeded to church, and al
the close of the services came to
this city and procured warrant for
the arrest of Miss Travis, which
was served early on Monday morn
ing, aud she was brought 10 S anita
Rosa by Deputy Sheriff Van Doren
and appeared before Judge Brown,
when she waived examination,
aud was held to answer before the
next Grand Jury on u charge of as
sault with attempt to commit muir
der, in the sum Of $4,000, her
mother, Mrs. Annie Travis, aud
Henry Castins AS secureties. Mr.
Hill informed us that he would not
have had her arrested but for the
fact that he was Informed on Sun
day night that she had been max
ing threats against his life for
more than q year, and he did not
know when 10 expect another at
tack. We interviewed Miss Travis,
aud asked her If she had any state
meut to make as To the cause Of the
assault, and she replied that she
did not desire to make n statement
| at present.
