A Bod Biganist.

The Albuquerque Daily Journal contains
the following, CLIPPED from Pennsylvania
paper, concerning George Munson, who was
once citizen of this CITY. He deserted a
wife here in 1876, being al that time engaged
in running a woodward. ! His wife after
wards returned to her people at Paris, Hi
nois. The Journal says:
"A Pennsylvania paper of a recent date
contains a sensational article which is OF in
terest to lady now residing in TINS city. II
saws: One Rachel Munson formerly Knox,
of Tarentum, Allegheny county, procured
a position as servant in a highly respected
family in our town. She said she had been
married over year, and hlEed
at Tarentum, where the families
of both parties live, and. that
a short time after the death of their child
her husband left home, saying he Intended
to hunt work, and would be back in week.,
Mrs. Munson waited for him five weeks and
then gave him up and came to Mt. Pleas
ant. She was good worker and was do
ing well, having earned enough to clothe
herself comfortably. On the 18th of De-
cember last, who should walk in but her
thought-to-be-lost husband George Mum
son, who explained that he had obtained
work and that he had written her letters,
but that they had never reached her ana
he had . house for her. The next morning
the seemingly happy couple left town;
But a few DAYS ago the head of the house
where Rachel lived received letter from
woman i'm Albuquerque, New Mexico, who
signs her name Mrs. Emma A. Munson,
and claims that she was married to George
Munson, January 2S, lss : that they lived
happily till the following 9th of April, when
ne was taken sick and said he was going 20
st. Eouis to the hospital, and that If he
lived he would be back in two months; that
he was gone seven months, and that she
had supposed him dead, but that on the
10th of November he came back and she for
gave all his past neglect and loved him better
than ever. On the I'd Of December he LEFT
to 90 forty miles from home TO work, ana
lac promised 10 return in three days, but
she had never heard from him. She said
she had opened a letter 10 her husband, and
II was written by his sister at Tarentum,
PENNSYLVANIA. and that she spoke OF
'Rachel" being in Mt. Pleasant, sick and
neglected, and without money.
This gave grounds for grave suspicion on
Emma's part, especially when the letter
stated that Rachel would like 20 see

that she had no more pleasure with

Criminal District Court.

The criminal term of the district court,
which ended last Saturday, after running
three weeks, has been an unusually labori-
Gus one. Although there were not a great
many cases disposed of, yet those that
were tried were so vigorously fought and
so stubbornly contested on both sides that
there was great deal more labor done
than is ordinarily performed in double the
number Of trials. AS will be seen from the
showing below. there was but one verdict of
not guilty, and this was given without any
contest.
The following are the cases disposed of:
Albert Smith, theft OF money, three years;
NJ. NJ. Dreyfus, forgery, two years. Press
Williams, theft OF watch, two years; John
darlington, theft Of mule, five years;
George Clark, burglary, fiyr --"rs; George
Clark, theft of property tive y--a'-; George
Blenllin, theft Of money, two years; Frank
Beagles, theft of money, three years; Shrop-
shire Evans, manslaughter, two years; BOs-
ton Granbury, assault to murder, not
guilty.
OF the nine convictions secured five have
appealed to the court of appeals, to-wit: NJ.
NJ Drey fus, John Talkington, George'l'len-
kin, Frank Beagles and Shropshire Evans.
At the close of the Evans case, which was
the last one tried County Attorney Seay,
who had represented the state alone during
the entire three weeks, left the courtroom
very sick and completely Frustrated, but
we are glad to see him at his post again, a
little jaded but still in the fight.

In view Of our speculative mania and
widespread extravaganza of late years, the
following remarks from the Chicago Times
are quite apropos and extremely sensible.
The Times says: Wouldn't a very small
business panic be healthy warning? All

ten Pretty much all about the doleful year
of 1873 and its succeeding ears OF rrofould,
wide-spreadng distress. They are seYiing
abroad once more for expensive luxbries
they are again dabbling in all sorts Of nancy
stocks and projecting variety ofuseless en-
terprises Fast and expensive living is
again becoming the rule. People are again
willing to take ruinous risks in the hope )i
making vast fortunes. \ slight touch Of
panic under these circumstances might
prove q useful monitor"
