AFTER HER HusBAED.-Quite sensation
was caused yesterday afternoon by the ar
rival from the Bay of a Incorporating and
evidently well educated young woman,
earnestly in quest of young and newly
married husband, who had Tilted her in San
Francisco in most shameful manner, and,
as she believed, came to this city. She was
married to him some three months since
at her fathers home in Portland, Oregon,
and after their marriage the father gave the
son-in- law S400, with which to so to San
Francisco to obtain situation, and also gave
her $50 as pin money. Together they came
to San Francisco, where the husband took
her t. clearinghouse kept by colored
proprietor, and otherwise, as she states,
not a c1ngenial place for respectable
boarders. Upon arriving there and leaving
his wife at the house, he went away
and said he would be back in short time.
This was three or four days ago, and she has
not seen him since, and besides, in departing,
ne took the trunk containing all the extra
wearing apparel belonging to both. Yester:
day morning she learned that her husband
had left for Sacramento by the boat, and she
at once came here by traia. AS soon as she
arrived she stated her case to detective Burke
and Chief Karcher, and soon afterwards a
couple OF the Western Hotel runners were
seen carrying a trunk on Front street, which
she believed to be hers, and they were over
hauled by officers Ferral, Campbell, Burke
and Atwood, and conducted with the trunk
to the station Upon arrival there the trunk
did not prove to be the one wanted, ard the
runners were allo we'd to depart with their
baggage and regulations intact No develop
ments were made last evening. The lady,
who is under great mental distress, is not
known in the city, but was exceedingly
anxious no names should be given. 1t is said
her husband was formerly known here, and
was employed in one of the dry goods estab.
lishments.
MISSILE PLEAsANTREs.-Ata an early hour
yesterday morning young Jessie Slaughter,
~ IL o,o,,oad -, n rama nf dioa in ca1ono
at the corner of Third and K streets, got into
dispute about how the game stood, when he
sole1nnly asserted that he could unquestion-
tionably punish the ground with the frame
work of his competitor, Larry OLaughlin.
The latter planked down $40 upon the coun-
ter that Slaughter could not make good his
assertion, and suggested the bacl,
room as the arena. Angry words fol-
lowed, and Slaughter states that O'Laugh-
in threw two tumblers at him, one
striking him on the shoulder and
the other in the back of the head, whereupon
Slaughter went out and procured brick and
returned with blood in his eye. Without
awaiting formalities he at once let fly spin
ming shot at his opponents head, striking it
above the ear and cutting an ugly wound,
and from there the brick caromed through
| two or three bottles of champagne, next tel
escopad q valuable large alabaster vase, and
reduced to atoms q row of tumbers arranged
in fancy manner on the shelf, awaiting de-
mands for the solids. Both seemed then to
| have arrived at stage when their honor was
maintained, and quietly separated. Officers
Rider and Jackson subsequently arrested
Slaughter and conveyed him to the city jail
upon the charge of assault with a deadly
weapon. His case will be heard on the 26th
| instant.
