that Johnson did the shooting, but at the prelimi- nary examination testified that she did not know who did it. One of the other witnesses present also says that Johnson did not do the shooting. This is the “other side” as the Enter- prise gleans it from a reliable source. Miss M. R. Koehler has opened a night school in the primary building on Main Street. She has been permitted by the board to occupy the room in daily use by Miss Gaddis as a pri- mary room. The school was started at the earnest solicitation of a number of youths about town who are compelled to work for a liveli- hood. The move is a good one, and with Miss Koehler’s well known capability, will prove a benefit to the rising generation. They will learn more at school than they could possibly, by running at large, and making night hideous with their yells. Success to the new enterprise. The Grant county grand jury found over forty indictments against various parties for cattle-stealing. This would indicate that a gen- eral clean-up of that gentry was about to be made up here. All took change of venue to Sierra county. It is hoped the juries of that county will do their duties at the trials. Four carloads of merchandise arrive here daily, and nearly as much is shipped to sur- rounding mining camps, and other points tribu- tary to this city. ( 119 )Col. C. B.
