While they were so engaged another, woman took the part of the under dog, and tho unpleasantness, becoming general, was kept up until the combatants combat-ants were worn out and their olothes provided with numerous, but perhaps unnecessary ventilators, while each in-individual in-individual hair on their dirty heads stood in rank by itself. Rosa came out of the fight triumphant, and gloried in it. While informing a white man who came along soon after of the execution sbe had done, she patted the muscles of her brawny right arm, and, in the tone of a prize-fighter declaring himself, him-self, sho stated; "I'm tho fellow, you knowl By , Tm a woman! You bet!" Fifteen minutes afterwards the party were gambling again. Sacramento Sacra-mento Union. |
