Vienna, September 1S.-Unusually
romantic was the marriage at Buda-
pest of Countess Henrietta Pongraez,
who has finally succeeded in wedding
her peasant fiance, after a years
conflict with her aristocratic relatives.
The headstrong young lady, who is on
ly seventeen, fell madly in love with
Johann Ondrasik, peasant stable lad
who worked among her fathers horses.
This was year ago. Naturally her
father, Count Eduard Pongracfi, was
furious and attempted to put his
daughter into a convent. This punish
ment she evaded and sought refuge
with her fiance at his parents cottage
at the gates of her fathers castle.
The Count then appealed to the
courts, which ordered that the girl
should be placed in a school at Bud

appealed to the supreme court at Jack
son, where he was represented by
Capt. Frank Johnson. In the court be-
low it was ruled that certain testimony
relating to an injury received by the
young man, when he was a mere child
that might tend to affect his mind. was
incompetent. The presence of the boy
in the supreme court was demanded
by Capt. Johnson and was granted.
This, while permissible, was out Of the
ordinary. The result was that the case
was reversed and remanded, and the
young man will be again tried next

Boys That Roam the Streets at
NIght.-Some people think it a mys-
terry that notwithstanding good advice
their boys grow up to be wild and
reckless young men. If these boys
were taught from infancy that home
was the proper place for them after
dark, rather than prowling around the
streets, annoying well and sick people
alike, much of this mystery might be
explained and young men with better
minds would be the result. No parent
need expect pure morals in a boy
that prowls the streets at night even
is he does go to Sunday-school-S

The stage now presents a very neat

Francisco. The front curtain is scene

place made memorable by a visit of

is an advertising curtain, and contains
the advertisement of all the principal

curtain is a woodland scene, done in
an artistic manner. Other interior
decorations are being made in the
theater, and it when finished will be
one of the neatest play houses along
the line.

Last Monday night at Humboldt
House Constable Wolf attempted to
serve warrant on c. R. Webster, pro.
pfietor of the Turf at that place, on
charge out Of the justice court at
Lovelock, which led up to shooting
scrape in which Webster was shot
three times by Constable Wolf.
Webster's offense in Lovelock was
the drawing of pistol in the red light
district and compelling one of the
fallen women to beat another. A war
rant for his arrest was swcrn to b,

company with his bartender, c. York

and woman by the name of Kitty
who poses as Webster's wife.
Constable Wolf read his warrant to
Webster, anticipating no trouble, but
when he had finished the reading he
found that Webster had him covered
with a revolver, and fatty refused to
submit to arrest. As the train he
came in on was about to pull uot, the
officer caught it and rode until it be-
gan to gain headway, when he dropped
off. He then attempted a flank
movement on the enemy, but Webster
was on the alert, and they discovered
each other at about the same time,
and both began shooting. Webster re-
treated to his hotel, threatening to kill
anyone who attempted to take him.
Constable Wolf, who was unhuTt,
telegraphed to Winnemucca for assist.
ance and Sheriff Lamb, accompanied
by E. B Johnson, railroad detective,

In the meantime Webster had had
sufficient time to think better of his
defiance of the law, and when he saw
the two Winnemucca officers aligh.
from the train, sent word to the sherif
that he would surrender without fur
ther trouble.
Webster was found to have been hit
twice and perhaps three times, as he
had two bullet holes in the left arm,
and q bullet had entered his left silo
coming out near the backbone. All
three wounds were of superficial
character and no serious trouble from
them is anticipated.

work will now be done at Lovelock, and

are reasonable, and consistent with a
high grade of work. The Tribune takes
special pleasure in recommending this
new Lovelock industry to the people.
