TRuckeE,s POPULAR JUSTICE

He Holds Court in Saloon and Averts
Lynching by Buying Drinks
It reads like page from Bret Harte or q
personal narrative by 'forty-niner-this
story of how justice is administered at
Truckee, Cal.
Some weeks ago Malcolm McDougald, a
barkeeper, had a dispute with Michael
Lenahan, man much older than himself.
Malcolm handled an ice pick and pistol
so vigorously that Michael died OF his
wounds. The populace wanted to lynch
the homicide, but finally agreed to let the
law take its course. So the other day the
preliminary examination took place. JUS
tice Laggett opened court in the biggest
apartment the town afforded, the rear
room of saloon. The judge, the counsel
and the defendant had chairs. The speeta-
tors, who were numerous, sat on whisky
barrels and poker tables or stood up.
"Lets iFrigate."
This was Magistrate Laggett's first re-
mark when he arrived. The crowd Joined
him at the bar and one of the number
voiced popular sentiment when he said,
"The jedge is blood if he does have to try
people"
Two witnesses took the stand drunk.
AS they were also drunk when the ARRAY
occurred they furnished no testimony and
simply added to the picturesqueness of the
occasion. A third witness proved alto
gether too swift in his eagerness to down"
the accused He testified that McDougald
struck Lenahan six times with his fist,
seven times with revolver, kicked him
eight times in the stomach and sides and
stamped on his face twice with both feet.
This didn't fit with the visible proof, as
Lenahan had but five wounds on his head
and his body was not bruised in the least.
The third day it looked as though there
was going TO be trouble. Each mans
pockets bulged with pistols and knives.
Jim Burdette, an old gambler and friend
of Leuahan's, announced that he "pro-
posed to see that this thing goes right" To
ascertain whether the dead man had fred
at McDougald it was ordered that the
cartridges be taken from his revolver.
Burdette objected and pulled his gun"
His honor, the constable and the attorneys
also drew their weapons. The prisoner
got out big jsckknife and stood ready
10 light for his life.

Shot Down hr a Con-

A COW belonging to John Weaver, Of
Putnam, Conn, has gained a unique repu-
tation as a marksman. She shot John En-
mis- the other day. John went woodchuck
hunting with John Gilbert on the Weaver
farm, and laid down his double barreled
shotgun, both triggers of which were
cooked, in an open lot. Viewers COW was
grazing near by. Ennis had strolled away
about ten feet, when the COW approached
the weapon.
Ennis picked up a stick and hit her with
it, whereupon she instantly lesped on the
stock of the gun. One barrel, which was
loaded with heavy shot, was discharged,
and the load struck Ennis in the right leg.

Far more cruel and causeless was the

and courage to slay himself, though he
professed to be anxious to die Ida. who
was we'll reared and of good family,
though not strihngly beautiful, seems to
have favored Levo's suit at first, but soon,
and very naturally, got tired of young
fellow who seemed to have no self reliance

and cried-yes, the testimony of his fellows
is that be often sat down and cried because
'his girl had gone back on him." Very
naturally they tried to laugh him out of
it, and then he got angry enough to shoot.
He came up to her as she was entering
the Fifth street garden, and with but one
exchange of words shot her. apparently
from behind, as the bullet entered her head
just back of the right ear. He continued
firing after she fell and then made des-
perate race for safety, but was captured.
The girl died in few minutes. The police
say that of all the prisoners they have had
