Several days since Mira Yost received
a dispatch from Hot Springs saying her
husband was dead. She FASTENED to
Cairo, sorely stricken with sorrow, ex.
pecting to receive his body here. Here
she received another dispatch saying hei
husband was not dead. These different
dispatches confounded her, and she
hastened on 10 the springs to find out his
situation for herself. There the contra
dictory kilograms were explained TO her.
To all appearances her husband was
dead, and he was laid out as dead per-
son. But after the lapse of several hours
it was discovered the body did not grow
cold, as it should. A consultation of
physicians was held there being nine in
council. The majority insited that Mr.
Yost was dead; but one, 4 DIR. Reed, in
sisted that he was not dead. In defer
epce TO his opinion, two galvsnic batter
les were applied to the body, and imme.
diately il began TO show signs of life.
Bringing the dead back TO conscious life
was slow process, but was eventually
accomplished, and Mr.. Yost has been
gaining ever since, until now be is able

ne has had for some months-Cdao, W

stealing a Tombstone.
Virginia City New Chronicle.

William Boggs was arrsigned before
Justice Cary, of Carson, yesterday,
charged with grand larceny. The charge
made by the arresting officer was that a
tombstone had been stolen by the de-.
PENDANT from the cemetery. 1t appears,
says the Appeal, that the officer was
passing near the consecrated spot at
night, when he saw Boggs staggering
along with tombstone on his back.
The tombstone was exhibited TO the
jury. 1t read:
Sacred to the memory of w. Boygstone.
Died January Sd, 1856. A kind father, an
indulgent husband, and q true man. Re.
qnisscat in pace.
Boggs, the defendant, went on the
stand, and acknowledged frankly that he
had taken the tombstone. 1t was 40 near

superfuous letters with plaster of paris,
he could use il himself in case he died.

but tNcu IL you AO uity IS Il have no
doubt you will, why do you steal another

it's the correct ling?
Boggs-If man has had the use Of q
tombstone since 1856, 1t strikes me he's
got his moneys worth. Besides, this
stone was a blasted lie all over. Bill
Boggstone wasn't kind husband and an
indulgent father. He was a thievipg

four men. A meaner scallswag never
was born. When he first came out here
in 40 he used to shave of the corners of

Haven.

jury, "He was the worst in the deck"
One of the jurors went on the stand
and testified he saw the man run out of
Placerville in '52 for robbing hen roosts.
He turned widow out in the snow
storm because she couldn't pay the house
rent. Several old.timers in the court
room testified to the scampish character
of the deceased. One man swore that
the brother Of Boggstone put the tomb
stone up, and did it in the night. It
was a monumental lie and Disgrace to
the cemetery. .
The jury acquitted, and Mr.. Boggs left
on the stage for Bodie with The tomb
