CONVICTED OF PETTY LARCENY Last even
ing at o'clock Miss Gabriel "a French woman,
was tried in Justice Carys court on a charge
of petty larceny.
The complaining witness was Miss Jennie
Forrest, who swore that the defendant had
occupied furnished house belonging to her
at 100 Nevada street for some months past
Yesterday morning she gave up the keys Of
the house an, eft the premises. Shortly
afterward the landlady took occasion to in
spect the place, and found that most of the
crockery, tableware, cooking utensils and bed
ding had disappeared. She procured search
warrant, and with officer Stern examined the
premises of another house on the same street
into which the woman had just moved. Her
search was rewarded by the finding of col
ander, ssme bread pans, forks, blankets, etc,
which she identified as hers. The culender
had E. B. Rails trade mark on it, and clerk
in Rails store swore to having sold it to Miss
Forrest few days before. The fork also had
a mark upon it.
The defendant interrupted the testimony
with tears, wringing of her hands and other
theatrical exhibitions of Gallo innocence
which are supposed to have weight with the
courts. When she took the stand she was
assisted IN her testimony by two French wo-
men and an interpreter. All four talked at
once, and the Court made strong effort to
appear as if he understood every word. The
fact, however, that he preserved the same
appearance of wrapped attention when they
alluded to him as " bald headed old Luna
mix and bean-eatng Gasson," was taken
by the audience as an evidence that his French |
sducation had been neglected. Miss Gabrial, !
after blowing her trumpet for about half an
hour, was found guilty by the Court, who
carefully strained the evidence through the
and tined the defendant $40, with
he alternative of five days in Jail. At last
accounts she was endeavoring to raise the
money,

NJ. COIN TO THE FRoNT.-The popularity
of the dry goods store of M. Cohn is not
only a household word in Carson, but it ex-
tends all over Ormsby and the adjoining
counties. His Spring stock, purchased in
the East, is the best selected one ever
brought to Nevada's Capital. It embraces
everything rare and beautiful in the way of
Spring and Summer fabrics, and in the lam
guage of the Snowman, "must be seen to be
appreciated" Mr.. Cohn is judicious buyer,
and such men are always prepared to under
sell their neighbors. Give him a call and be
convinced that we are stating facts.
