What is friendship? do you ask met
Something rare, and sweet, and grand:
Friends there are, VINO quickly vanish.
When dark t:ouble Is at hand.
But a true friend never leaves US
Summers heat, or winters cold
Prosperous or unfortunate
When we're young or when we're old.
S.aunch and true. he stands beside us,
Ever ready help to lend:

Shares our sorrows t. the end.
If black scandal dares assait ua.
Faithfully does he defend;
Nor let evil-minded meddIers
Wean him from an old-time friend,
oh, sweet Friendshi rare and precious! -,
Ifin thee we're truly best:
May We richly prize the treasure

Justice Nickols disposed Of but one
case yesterday. This was the case Of
one McAlllster, who was arrested on
complaint of Charles Schmidt on the
charge of assault and battery, with
intent to kill. The ARRAY occurred
near Meadersville. AS the result of
the trial, McAllister was fined $40
and costs for carrying q concealed
weapon, in defAu.t of the payment of
which, he was sent uk to Sheriff
Irvine's palatial quarters on Granite
street.
Judge French was busily engaged
all day yesterday. A couple Of Ital-
ians, living near the Burlington mine,
had q row In which one beat the
other over the he I'd with q piece of
stove wood. Arrests followed and a
hearing was had before Judge French
yesterday forenoon. A jury acqult-
ted one Of the defendants and his
Honor discharged the other.
After the little unpleasantness be-
tween the Territory of Montana and
Italy had been amicably settled the
cases of two Galena street nynnphs du
p0ve were investigated by his Honor.
These were cases in which the de-
PENDANTS we've charged with talking
too much with their mouths. In
fact they COULDN'T agree as to their
descent, and one of them charged the
other with being q ''son ola gun - or
words to that effect. The cases will
probably be concluded to-day. The
trial was a pic-nio for the street loaf
ers who were present In force.
