ATTEMPTED MURDER.—At Grass Valley on Sunday night a man named Bergen, formerly
employed in M. C. Taylor’s foundry, went to Taylor’s house and demanded to see him. Taylor was not in,
and Bergen proceeded to the foundry, where he found him keeping watch over his property. Some words
ensued, when Bergen drew a revolver and fired three shots at Taylor, neither of which, however, took
effect. Bergen was shortly afterward arrested, and was held in bonds of $1,500 to await the action of the
grand jury. [See August . Transcript for a somewhat different version. ]
CONJUGAL FELICITY.—The National tells a story of connubial amusements in Boston Ravine. A
Frenchman who kept a barber-shop and fruit-stand there became offended at his wife and gave her a piece
of his mind. Thereupon she gave him a piece of hers. From this it went to blows. The masculine blacked
the feminine’s eye, and she closed one of his peepers. Then she threw the contents of the fruitstand into
the street—nuts, candies, apples, watermelons, peaches, pears, dancing-jacks, wooden soldiers, glass
marbles, pinchbeck jewelry and all. Men, women and children rushed from various quarters to help
themselves to the liberal donations, and it was not long before every article was eaten up or stowed away,
but not without three or four fights among the spoils-seekers. The upshot of the matter was, Madame
picked up her duds and went one way, and Monsieur picked up his and went the other.
