He Should be Punished.

Friday a Swede, whose name is unknown,
was arrested for that rare crime in this
camp, insulting lady. The lady who is
the wlie OF well known physician, was
standing near her residence on Granite
street when the beast came along and made
indecent gestures. The lady at once mott
fed her husband and he followed the fellow
until he met Deputy Sheriff Buzzo, who
promptly arrested the man and took him
to jail where he still lies awaiting trial,
Under the law the punishment for this
offense is a fine OF from SO to 800 and
OF from thirty to ninety
days. AS this is one OF the first instances
OF the kind, and should be the last, it is
probable that the court will inflict the full
penalty.
