ADesnerate Mexican

The following is from the Modesto Re
publican of December 9th About eight
or ten days ago John T. Campbell, of GRAY
son, lost mare. He reported his loss to
Sheriff Puryis, with the information that
some Mexicans had passed through Gray
son day or two before going toward
Livermore. Sheriff Purvis telegranhed to
Constable Murphy Of Livermore describ-
ing the animal and received an answer
that the man and mare had passed through
Livermore, and that he (Murphy) thought
he knew where they could be found. Mr.
Puryls went to Livermore on Sunday. and
Monday, in company with Murphy, pro-
ceeded to a cabin situated about twelve
miles from Livermore in the foothills. On
arriving the officers found the cabin locked
and boy playing on the outside The
boy, on being questioned, told the officers
that there was no one in the cabin.
Sheriff Purvis then insisted on entering,
and, raising window, asked the boy to
climb in and open the door. The boy did
SO, and the officers proceeded to enter,
when Mexican stepped from behind a
partition and dwelling pistol at Purvis
fired, the ball striking Mr.. Purvis in the
shinbone of the leg. The Mexican then
placed the pistol right up to Constable
Murphy's breast and pulled the trigger
Luckily the pistol snapped, when Murphy
shot the Mexican in the eye. The latter,
being stunned by the shot. was taken and
ironed. Sheriff Puryis returned yesterday,
bringing the Mexican with him, and al
though shot in the leg, was able to walk
home from the depot. The ball, it seems,
struck the shinbone -" a dead center" but
glanced around the leg and buried itself in
the tleshy part. A Livermore physician
relieved the Sheriff of the ball before leav-
ing there. The Mexican's wound is not
considered dangerous the ball having also
glanced and buried itself beneath the
scalp.

DETERMINED WoMAN.-We find the fol-
lowing in the Chico Enterprise Of December
sth:
Yesterday forenoon a lady named Mrs.
Warren was arrested near Centerville by
Deputy Sheriff Plain, on 4 charge Of dis
turbing the peace. She was brought to
Chico, and gave bail for her appearance be-
fore Justice Schooler for trial next Satur-
day. The charge is brought against Mrs.
Warren by Charles F. Draper Of san Fran
cisco, and is only Oueitem OF & complicated
case. Mrs. Warren is the owner of q min
ing claim near Centerville formerly known
as the Kelley claim and adjoining the we'll
known Fricker mining property. Last
January she leased her claim to Draper.
who was to occupy it and work it during
the time Of the lease. He has done moth
ing OF the sort, however, and has on the
contrary let the property lie idle and uuoc-
cupied. Mrs. Warren learned of this indi-
rectly short time since, and came up from
San Francisco, where she was living in the
meantime, TO take care of her property if
mine is lett uuwnrked for year it can be
Jumped" Mrs. Warren thinks II was the
scheme of Draper to leave the mine I'M
touched and jump it at the end of the
year When she went to live on il, and to
work It herself, so as to protect it. Draper
at once had her arrested for disturbing the
peace. The case will be fully aired next
Saturday before Justice Schooler. and some
interesting Developments may be expected.
