GIRLS SLANDERER FINED.

There were things doing at
the court house last Tuesday
morning when Bud York was
sentenced by his honor, Judge
Black to pay a fine of 5000, or
serve 100 days in jail for defam-
ing the fair name of Rhoda Stew
ems, country girl of tender
years who hrd fallen under the
ban of York's tongue, which
made merry over the alleged IN
discretions of both parties.
The indiscretions may or may
not have occurred, but 100 days
at hard labor for the defendant
were the fruits of conviviality,
induced by general indulgence
in wine.
The case was a pathetic one,
in which the moral degenercy of
York was strongly contrasted
with the extreme ignorance and
inexperience of the girl, who had
only recently been driven from
her home at Bench Greek by
brutal father.

sweet tenor voice was heard i'll a

Dick ss he is known among
his old time friends, is a native
of Virginia City, and after grad
uating from the University of
Nevada he went to Boston to
finish his education. This is not
the first success he has scored
and will not be his last. Tobin
is also a very fine cornetist, and
when Sousa's band visited Vir-
ginia City he wished to take
Dick with him, but his folks
would not permit of it. Sousa
at that time predicted that he
would become famous but his
prediction was based on his abil-
ity as a cornetist and not as a
vocalist.

At the present time water is
