“OP AND DOWN BILL,”
Funny Impressions a Stranger Gained
. While Visiting Nevada City.
A correspondent of the Truckee Republican writes up a trip to Nevada
City thus: ~

irregularity of the streets, so unlike a
checker-board that he is convinced he

The city contains many fine churches,
school houses and asplendid Courtofficers inside, due, of course, to the
fact that they are good Republicans:

The anti-miners of Sutter county are
‘threatening to bring injunction. proceedings against the Red Dog hydraulic mine below You Bet. The mine

has been operating under a permit
granted by the U. 8. Debris Commission under the restrictions of the Caminetti Act.

Cornish Lon. Graduated _ From

Fell From Grace.
Louise Kane, alias Big Lou, alias
Cornish Lou, the woman of the halfworld who died yesterday while being
brought by stage to the county hospital from her disreputable den at
Rocky Bar near Washington, had a
history with a moral. ~
She was born forty-seven yéars ago,
but most of her life is wrapped in
mystery. Itis known that when nineteen years of age or thereabout she
graduated from the State Normal
School at San Jose with honors and
that she subsequently taught school a
little while in a lower country town.
Then she married a young fellow
vamed Miller, a clerk in the Capital
hotelat Sacramento. Fora brief period
they enjoyed love’s young dream and
seeméd destined to have a long°and
happy. matrimonial career. But she
soon became a giddy social butterfly,
Her pretty face and winning ways made
‘her the center of attraction and her
head was turned by the flattering attentions paid by other men. Miller
was Of a domestic turn, and her frivolity was exceedingly. distasteful -to
him. At first he reasoned with her,
and when this course did not have the
desired effect he rebuked her—mildly
at first, then severely. Her proud
spirit resented the harsh words he
heaped upon her. In the end she defied him. Her misconduct became the
the talk of the town finally, and ther
their ways parted. She came to Nevada
City and it did not take her long to
reach the bottom of immorality’s toboggan slide. Shesued in the court
here for a divorce from Miller and bad
no trouble in obtaining it as the man
made-no.contest.
ee
She flitted here, there and every where
for a time, becoming notorious in many
cities. In the eighties she went to
Rocky Bar, an old-'ime outcasts retreat
on the hank of the Seuth Yuba river
balf a mile above the mining town of
than it is now, and several hundred
miners were employed along the river, ;

Steele was tried and was convicted of
murder inthe secouid degree. On’ the
morning that Steele was to be senwith a piece of the jagged glass opened
an artery in one of his wrists and bled
to death.
Several years later William Hyndman murdered William Searle in
Henry Kobler’s store, at Washington,
in a quarrel over this woman. Hyndman stabbed Searle in the groin with a
jack-knife, and the latter bled to death.
Hyndman was convicted of murder in
the second degree. and was.sentenced
to seventeen years’ imprisonment
at San Quentin. The Supreme Court
afterward reversed this decision on. a
technicality and later on the case was
dismiased. : i
Lou is supposed to have but two re«
lations living on the coast. They are
her sisters and are said to be among
the respected and respectable ladies of
Sacramento, But they have long been
as dead to ber and she to them and
their names are unknown here.
A post mortem and inquest were
held at the hospital late yesterday.
Dr. Muller conducted the former and
Deputy County Coroner Gray the
latter. The physician found that she
had fatty degeneration of the heart and

claimed that her death closed a secr®t

such importance that some recommencluded in the Grand Jury report. What

The Frisbies came here in 1851, she
then being apparently close to forty
years of age. They first opened a saloon on Coyote street about where the
Nevada City Gasworks now are. Busimess prospered with the twain. So
they added a restaurant to the saloon
and a little later opened a theater in
connection with the other two. The
combination was the swellest and most
famous amusement resort and eating

The theater played the greatest atfractions of the day at a dollar anda

that two mea in blue had accompanied
