Human vampire in Jail.


That Judge Brissell has determin.
ed to rid this community from that
class Of vampires who live on the
earnings of fallen women, was dem
onstrated Monday when he gave
one Frank Sherwood fifty days in
the county jail or a $1OO fine, and in
default of the fine he now languishes
in the county bastile.
The case came before his honor az
a late hour yesterday afternoon. a
woman known as Florence Brooks
having sworn to a complaint on the
18th, charging Sherwood with assault
and battery. The defendant is a
man over six feet tall and weighs
yer 200 pounds, while his aceuser is
a frail little creature who would find
It hard work to make the scales tip
100 pounds. From the evidence adj
duced at the trial, it was proven that
the prisoner was very indignant over
a remark made about him to his
woman" by the Brooks girl, and
meeting her in a resort in the lower
part of town, he proceeded to pummel
her over the head with an umbrella,
and stated at the time that he would
allow no woman to talk about him.
She managed to make her getaway,
and going TO Judge Brissell, swore
to a complaint charging Sherwood
with assault and battery.
When the case was called the COM
planning witness had not put in her
appearance, and as the judge had
cautioned her when appearing to
make the charge. that failure to APP
pear would mean the issuance of a
bench warrant, he ordered the off
GERS to Institute a search for her and
bring her to the court room. After
a hunt Of several hours She was To-
Gated and taken into custody. Her
testimony was given with a great
deal OF reluctance and the reason
therefor was dragged out of her by
Prosecuting Attorney Alling. She
said that she had been warned by
several companions of Sherwood that
If she testified against him she would
be done great bodily harm. She then
related what had occurred, upon
which the judge gave the depravei
wretch his dues. The prisoner made
a plea to be allowed to leave town,
but the Judge was of the opinion that
this would not satisfy the ends OF
justice and refused to relent.

MINERS UP AGAINST
THE REAL THING

There is an intense feeling spring
ing up between the men Of the two
companies on the hin as to thir rela-

things are looked for next Sunday,
when Supt. Blackburn and his men
line up against Capt. Hunter and his
aggregation from the Montana-Tono-
pah. A message from the big COM
pany's Office on the hill to Mr.. Roun
sevell requesting the privilege OF
meeting the club bearing his name
at the California Heights ground,
and that it would be esteemed a high
favor. vas readily granted. Now, the
R~ounseyells' average height is four
feet three inches, average weight 80
pounds, and age IA years. The kids
proceeded with all the sang froid of
a professional team I o the grounds.
They won the toss for bat. The
midgets faced Supt. Fox in the box,
backed by the husky miners, and pro-
ceeded TO knock the cover off the ball
in regulation style. Art Boggs, the
pitcher for the Rounsevells, swatted
the ball for a home run, at the same
time breaking a window pane in a
house in the lower end of the field,
which the mining company will have
to replace. At the third inning 4
general demand was made on the
part Of the miners that Fox be taken
out of the box, as the boys were
the ball in every direction and
the miners were fast becoming ex-
from chasing the sphere.
Supt. Blackburn essayed to fill the
position. but he, too, met with a fate
ike that of Pitcher Fox. In the first
half of the fifth the Rounseyells had
piled up eight runs, and in order to
encourage the miners, allowed them
o finish with six, Just as a mere mat
.er of form.
And now the town is talking of
the miners played the kids.

The burden of paying the freight
charges before goods arrive here has

ritory. On June ], the rule will
cease to exist. This will affect all

Heretofore the money covering the
payment of freight charges had to be

consignment was ordered. This was
