Harry Wolburn, a Cornish miner, whipped three or four men at the Centennial on Monday night. He was brought before Judge Lucas on Tuesday and fined $10 and trimmings. He re- fused to pay the fine and asked for a transcript of the proceedings which he wished to forward to the mother country, in order to ascertain if the proceedings were regular. When the offi- cers started with him for the cooler, he dug up a shining $20, settled the score, and was told to “go and sin no more.”
