The double-headed woman who passed
through here a short time ago, and who
was noticed in the LEADER at the
time, is thus mentioned by the Virginia
City Chronicle: "M'le Christine, the
double-headed woman, although a not
particularly attractive person, has had
five offers of marriage during her life,
and all from white persons. Count
Rosebud, n Of the midgets, is in love
with the nightingale on account OF her
winning ways and accomplishments,
and would marry her tomorrow IL she
would consent. One head is willing
but the other is not, and the two heads
have been disputing about this matter
for the last two years. 1t is, in fact,
the only subject about which they are
not fully agreed. A man who would
marry a woman with two heads and
subject himself to the raking fire from
such n double-barreled gun as that
whenever he anne home late at night,
might elicit admiration for his valor,
but not for his discretion"
