CHARGE OF LARCENY AGAINST A YOUNG LADY
DIsNIsSED.-1n the Police Court, this morning,
Miss Anna NJ. Nixon. a rather good looking
young lady, a clerk in the Paiais Royal fancy
store, No. III Pennsylvania avenue, was
charged with the larceny OF pair OF kid gloves
valued at Sl.,5 from Herman Lisper, the proprie-
tor of the store. Isaac Teeney, the colored por-
ter at the store, testified that he saw the young
lady take the gloves from case and put them
into her pocket yesterday morning. Charles
Anderson, a small colored boy, testified that
Miss Nixon sent him to her coat for some
change and he found the gloves there in her
pocket. Miss Nixon took the stand and testified
that she is the head clerk and has been In the
employ or Mr.. Lisner and his brother for about
eight years, and that she and the porter have
not been on very good terms, as she has had 10
report him TO Mr.. Lisner for neglecting his duty.
She positively denied having any knowledge of
the gloves being in her pocket The court said
that there was no evidence OF larceny, but re-
marked that it was more likely that the porter
put the gloves in her pocket, and he would dis
miss the case. Judging from the applause of
the audience. the judgment was very satiSfac-
tory to all present.

CURLEY, noted htghwayman of the Dead
wood region, was arrested by two officers, who
had to journey 40 miles to take him to Jail. All
rode on horseback, the prisoner between his
captors. The possibility Of escape was dis
cussed on the way, Curley maintaining that he
could put spurs to his horse and get away, be-
cause his beast was the freshest of the three,
and the officers arguing that he could be riddled
with bullets before he got out of range Sud-
denly, Curley put his plan into execution, dash
ing off at full speed; but the officers theory
proved sound, for they easily killed him with
their pistols.
