Stumbled Over Justice.

The Supreme Court yesterday reversed a
case from Wayne county, in which Sarah
Baker, after a long trial, was given "a
judgment against the Richmond Gas Com
pany for injuries received in gas explo-
sion. The ground for reversal was the SIM
pie one that while the plaintiff shows that
She was wholly without blame as general
thing she failed TO show that at this time
she was without blame for contributory
negligence. The opinion was written by
Judge Hackney. The comments about the
case were that the court had strained at
a technicality and stumbled over justice.

An Old Case Settled.
The case of Noodle Currier VS.. Calvi

The case of Noodle Currier VS.. Calvin
A. Elliott was yesterday affirmed by the
Supreme Court. This is the third time
the case has been before the court in
the last ten years. In the former appeals
the judgment of the trial court was re-
versed, and this time is affirmed. The
questions involved related to the rights Of
a husband and wife under tae act of 1875.
Currier was a large holder of real estate
and failed Judgments were taken against
real estate ordered. sHis wife claimed her
portion of it, but died within the year
allowed for redemption, and her husband
then became, under the decision of the
court, her sole heir. The Supreme Court,
it is now said, has unraveled this tangled
sIxein of iuSIice.

be applied Immediately after the III.
jury is received in order to prove thor
oughly etficacious. 1t does not require
an expert to do it. All that is neces-
sary is to move the fingers rapidly and
firmly over the bruised surface. and to
keep it up until the last vestige of dis
coloratipn has disappeared, The eXpla-
nation is easy. Where the blow has
been received the blood becomes con-

through the transparent skin that pro-
duces the black effect. The presence Of
the fingers gradually loosens the clot-
ted blood, which passes off into the

its place"
However, as a rule, the professional

black eye. 1t is a sign which proclaims
the fact that its proprietor has recently

is an object of envy to his less for

MS FIRST KILLING.
How sam brown Was started on His Wild
Faith by Bully.

| From the New York Sun.
| AT my first meeting with Sam Brown,
| the famous desperate, he did me an honor
that few men would care to receive" said
| Wash Parker an old-time Nevadan. He
| invited himself to be my travelling COM
panion on two days wagon Journey
was starting out one morning with wagon
ana pair of horses from a little mining set
tlement known, then as ,Goldcrop As I
came opposite the hotel large man stand
| ing on the veranda hailed me and asked
If | was going to Virginia City. l answered
yes, and he said:
a." 4 reckon I'll go along with you.
j IN Sam Brown, he added. Maybe
you don't have much confidence in me since
along together all right
We'll, there wasn't anything TO be said
Brown with carpet bag in his hand and
his pistols bulsing under his coat, came
out to the wagon and took his seat beside
me; He proved a civil enough companion,
and we got through to Virginia City ali
right with nobody killed on the way. He
had taken along bottle of prepared cock
tails. and had box of cigars, so that the
time passed rather sociably as we made
our journey together.
Springs, about half way to Virginia City,
and in the course of the evening he told me
something of his life and adventures. one
thing in particular that remember was
the way he came to start out on his career
of killing don't recall whether IT was
in Texas or Missouri that this first affair
happened, but it was when he was a hulk
ing young fellow, green and chicken heart
ed TO use his own words in telling 1t.
There was a certain gambler in "A town
where he was staying who used to bully
and abuse him when they came together:
everywhere and whenever the gambler saw
him IN a saloon he would kick him about
and drive him out of the place. one day
q man unfriendly to this gambler said to
Sam:
" Why do YOU stand all this abuse from
that gambler? Take this nistol and the
next time he crowds you kill him.
Sam took the advice and the pistol,and
the next time the gambler went for him,
instead of sneaking away and looking sor-
~ he shot his tOrmentor dead. After he
had thus got his hand in, killing men came
easy to Sam and he made long score be-
fore his time came.
Though as ! said, we made our journey
together all right knew it would take too
little TO set things to going all wrong for
ciety. wasn't sorry to set him down at
the Primaventura saloon in Virginia City,
whora we took a drink together, shook
hands ana Went our different Ways"
