HELD TO ANswER.-The preliminary ex-
animation of Mrs. Julia A. Finn, upon the
charge of assault with intent to murder Geo.
L. I,andes, took place before Justice Ruggles
at Woodland on Saturday. The prosecution
was conducted by District Attorney Gar
ROUTE, and the defense by D. Z. Alexander
and d. J. Wiley. Mr. Landes stated that
the reason of his non-appearance at the time
the examination was previously set was that
the time of the hearing was changed, and he
did not receive notice until after the hour set
He was the first witness on Saturday, and
testified to the shooting at the Willow Slough
sckool house, where he was teaching; that

buggy; Mrs. Finn called him out they had
a talk; she requested him to marry her, and
threatened him If he did not he refused, ana
started toward the sehool-house when she
fred three shots at him. His testimony was
to the same effect as has already been pub
ished in the RECORD UNION. Ga cross-ex-
animation he testified that he had heard that
the defendant had been an inmate Of an In
sane asylum. Some of the scholars who were
attending school also testified, cerroborating
MIR. Laudes as to the fact that she fred the
shots az him. The defense offered no testi-
mony, and upon conclusion of the evidence
for the prosecution the defendant was held to

turned to Sacramento.

COUNTERFEIT CoINs.-Counterfeits of the
$50 and S. gold coins have come into plenti-
full circulation in this city within the past
few days, and on Saturday large number
were detected. They are apparently of lead
filling, and can readily be detected from want
of toe proper coin ring. When dropped
upon counter their sound is heavy and dull
The city is also being flooded with spurious
10-cent pieces. They bear date of 1877. and
some of them are made Of lead, and others
of harder metal, and silver washed or plated
There must be some bogus minis running on
full tins in this vicinity. or else Sacramento
is being made the scape-goat for the sins of
other regions.
