How He WORKED IA gentleman who
came down from Shasta yesterday relates the
following in regard to an attorney of that
pace. 1t illustrates the amount of cheek
m ,mbers of the bar can assume. and survive.
Some days since Indian Pike was put on trial
for murder. The unfortunate Indian was
without money, and of course could secure
no counsel. The Court appointed promis
ing young lawyer, a member of the Shasta
bar, to take charge of the defense. The dis
ciple OF Blackstone Immediately set to work
TO save his clients neck, but the prosecution
was too formidable. Indian Pike was CON-
victed, and sentenced to the State Prison foI
life. As soon as the trial ended, the young
lawyer who conducted the defense thou hit
that il was about time to get something out
OF the case, and he Immediately repaired to
the Sheritfs office and had that official swear
him in as Deputy Sheriff, aud yesterday
morning he passed through this city as
special Deputy Sheriff, en- route to San Quen-
tin with his condemned client.

are taken out of the river illegally during the
