PENDANT SIS. The fine was promptly paid,
and the Health Officer says it will have the

turbing the peace, sworn TO by his wife,
was next called l. S. Brown read an affi-
davit, signed by Dr. Cooksley, in which he
said the complaining witness was his law
full and welded wife, The attorney then
read the following section 1922 of the
Penal Code: Except with the consent of
both, or in cases of criminal violence upon
one by the other, neither husband nor wife
is competent witness for or against the
other in a criminal action or proceeding to
which one or both are parties" He then
asked that the case be dismissed 1t APP
pearing that Mrs. CookSley was the only

Meagher was next arraigned for hitting his
wife over the head with a cane; was tried,
found guilty, and sentenced TO pay fine

MYSTERIOUS DIsAPPEARANCE.-The Fol-
som telegraph of the 18th says For
the past two weeks there has been
employed at McCombefs livery sta
bic partially insane man named Michael
Sayars On Monday last he informed his
employer that he was going to Sacramento,
but that he would return. Mr.. McComber
went To Sacramento on the same train, but
on their arrival there Sayars suddenly van
ished. Nothing more was seen or heard OF
HIM until Wednesday, when a coat and
hat, afterward identified as being the same
he wore when he left, were found ON the
river bank near Alder Creek. 1t Is thought
by some that he committed suicide 1t
seems strange, however, that he should
have returned to Folsom for that purpose
and that he was seen by no one, either here
or on the road.
