A sERIUOS RUNAWAY.


The Salt, Lake Tribune Of the l9tl
inst. contains an account of serious
runaway from which the following i,
an extract:
A fearful runaway occurred on thu
State road about noon yesterday, which
resulted very seriously to Mrs. DR..
Thompson, who WAS out riding with
Judge Goodwin and his wife and child,
behind Prof. Holden's spirited bay
team.
When about two OF three miles be.
low the city, one Of the horses Was
startled at something at the 70 dside
and SHE'D suddenly.
The Judge struck him lightly with
the whip, when he at once dashed off
on the run joined by his companion.
All efforts to hold them in failed and at
length the drivers arm gave out and
the reins were taken by Mrs. Goodwin
who, after guiding the runawtys in the
road until they exhausted their speed
finally brought them to stand,t II
without injury to the buggy or tenn.
Cnfortun .teiy a much more serious
son had soon after the horses started to
run become frightened herself and not
withstanding the circumstances of Mr..
md Mrs. Goodwin, jumped from the
carriage, while they wers. busy trying
t" stop the team. She aiighted on her
feet but fell forward, violently striking
first on her elbnWs and then on her head,
the wounds received on the head rem
'lering her insensible for the time. She
lay in the road until quite pool of
blood had been formed, when she WAS |
found by a couple of women living ne r |
~ and taken to their house and c;ire,i |
or until her friends returned to find

Mrs. Thompson Was brought back to
he city last evening, and WAS still un-
until quite late hour when
he was reported AS recovering. While
Ter wounds were not in themselves
dangerous, the shock to her nervous
ystem Was very great and considerable
anxiety was felt ON her account. 1t is
Iopd, however, that her condition to-
lay will prove much better than could

A Chinese interpreter, who was sent
for to interpret the evidence in the case
of the State VS.. Charley Wing, who is
held for murder, says it has been the
custom hitherto among the Chinese on
this coast for lnurlerers to compromise
with the companies of which their VIC
Tins were members by paying a certain
amount Of nancy. When the money
is paid, no further attempt was made
by the Chinese to prosecute the often
der, and if he was under arrest and held
for trial, the evidence against him WIS
suppressed. Under this arr ugems.nt
comparatively few Chin amen were con-
victed of murder, rs the company to
which the accused belonged did all in
it's power to shield him, and the conn.,
uany of which the victim was u men,
Der, having received his value in coin,
made no effDrt tO prosecute the slayer.
Therefore, it was only when the muir

panions refused to pay. that II China
man could be convicted on Chinese evil
dence. The interpreter says tn t this
method of compromising crime has re-
Gently been done away with by mutual
