Many Of the readers of the BULLETIN
will be sorry to hear of the death of
James Simpson, an old pioneer of
! Coryville, who has been more or less
connected with the Mount Cory mine
since it first started work He had
been ailing for some time aud left for
Virginia City, hoping Il change would
he of benefit to him. He had been
gone only three or four days when
dispatch was received informing us of
his death, The boys feel keenly the
loss of their friend and companion, a.
"Oll JIm,' as he was familiarly called,
was favoritc with old and young.
| Within the past six weeks we have
had two cases of wife beating, the last
being of = most brutal nature. One of
the miners working in the mine, who
| has been living with a woman whom
he has been in the habit of Introducing
as his wife, got little too much
| whisky aboard the other evening, and
on going home started in abusing his
wife shamefully. After kicking and
cutting her till she was black and blue,
he wound up 10y putting her out OF the
house, at the same time throwing gu,
what little provisions were there, and
ordered her to leave and never come
back. As this has not cen the FIRST
time, by any means, she has been sub.

she was naturally afraid to return
The poor woman, who docs not under.
stand a word OF English, wandered
down town, not knowing where to go
| or what to do, as she was turned out
without cent. She WAS fortunate to
meet with Thomas Daley, to whom
she rccounted her troubles asking him
il he would allow her TO stay at his
house tor the time being, q request
which Mr.. Daley readily complied
with. She has been staying there ever
since. Apparently, from brooding
over the i'll treatment she bad received
her mind has become unsettled, and
she has several times since tried to cut
her throat, and on Sunday evening, on
Mr.. Daley going home from work, his
wife informed him that the woman
had managed to escape and could not
be found. Fears were entertained
that she had at last managed to put an
end to ner miserable existence. A
number of men went out in search Of
her, and at last found the poor creature
nearly four niles from town in mos,
| pitiahc condition, her hands and feet
| being Gu: and torn, and altogether
| presenting a most horrible sight. Since
then she has been quite crazy, and has
to be watched both day and night

treatment from the hands Of the
miners.
