A LIGHT SENTENCE.
Nannetta Osborne Stair Passes
Through the City, en- Route
to the Penitentiary.

Nannetta Osborne Stair, who was re-
Gently convicted of being accessory to
the murder Of old man Sewell and his
son, committed by Henry s. Stair,
near Nevada on the fifth day of Au-
gust of last year, and for which offense
he was last winter hanged at that
place, passed through the city last
night in charge of Sheriff Hill, en-
route to the pepitentiary, where she
goes to serve sentence of five years.
The Sewels we're western bound
emigran's and were murdered IN a.
most cruel manner by Stair while
asleep in their wagons. The particu-
lars of the crime have been given
in detail in the BAZoo, and are yet
fresh in the minds of most of its read
ers.
Mrs. Stair is coarse looking wo-
man, and was laughing and joking in
the most tiippant manner with all who
came into the car to catch glimpse
of the somewhat noted criminal. In
answer to an inquiry of the BAzoo
man if she desired to make any fur
ther statement, she giggled and said,
81 do not know anything / can say
except that | am going to the pen over
here"
''DO you think that your sentence
is a just One?"
''Of course not. / am innocent of
any completely in the murder of the
Sewells, as L have always claimed,
but what is the use of crying any more
about the matter. You see ! am try.
ing to be as cheerful as possible over
my fate"
The reporter readily admitted that
she seemed to be, and had the appear
ance of going on a picnic excursion,
instead of to the penitentiary.
As the apparently hardened
criminal, lighted cigar
furnished her by some sympathizing
friend, she seemed any other than the
penitent woman whom the Nevada
Democrat says avowed her intention
of living an honest and virtuous life
after her discharge from the peni-
tertiary.
Sheriff Hill also had in charge
Rosa Jackson, who goes up for two
years for larceny from dwelling
house.
The sheriff says that both of the
women are very hard cases, and that
Mrs. Stair feels very jubilant over her
light sentence.

Cruel DeSertiOn.

A colored man by the name of Maddux,
residing on Ohio street, south of the rail-
road, with his wife and two children, about
two weeks ago left for California. On
Tuesday his wife followed him, telling the
children that she was going away for good
and that they must hustle for themselves.
They are both girls, aged respectively Is
and 6 years. Nothing was left for their
provision save someworthless traps in the
house. The Oldest child accepts the sit
uation in a very philosophical manner,
and saws that she can make living for
herself, but does not know how she can
provide for her baby sister Doubtless
they will both necessarily be compelled to
become pensioners on the city until some
proper disposition is made of them. Some
effort should be made by the philanthropic
Christian ladies of the city to arrest the
terrible fate which seems to await the girl,
even though she is but humble color ed
maiden. -,-

MARY'S MISTAKE.
A Dishonest Domestic Attempts
to Appropriate Her Mis-
tress' Ring.

Miss Mary Polly was arraigned be-
fore Justice Halstead yesterday after
noon on the charge of stealing a finger
ring from Mrs. w. ID. ngenfritz, by
whom she was employed as a nurse
girl. The ring was contained in a
box which was given the baby as a
plaything. Last Thursday the girl
left, and shortly after her departure
the ring was missed. Suspicion at
once pointed to the nurse girl, and
the lost property was found
in her possession. On this convinc-
ing evidence she was arrested
ON the charge of stealing the ring.
She stoutly asserted her innocence,
but the evidence adduced at the trial
was too conclusive in the mind of the
justice to be set aside by the somewhat
contradictory story of the girl. She
was accordingly found guilty and a
fine of SIS and costs, aggregating
about 500, was assessed against her.
This, by the assistance of friends, she
was enabled to pay, and if no higher
principle actuates her, will in future,
1t is hoped, be governed by the sensi-

adage that " honesty is the best pol
