The verdict was arrived at on the first ballot. Tomorrow is the set by Judge Murphy for passing sentence of death upon him.

An agreeable surprise party was tendered Miss Mary Gibbins, at the residence of her parents, a week ago last evening. The event was in commemoration of that young lady's sixteenth birthday, and she was the recipient of several pretty presents on the occasion.

Robert Woodmansee Loses His Right Leg. Last week the condition of Bob Woodmansee was getting so serious, and he was weakening so fast, that Dr. Lutz, in whose care Supervisor Packwood had placed the patient, recommended an operation without delay, to determine how badly the leg was involved by the decaying matter which was constantly flowing from it. He also informed the patient as well as his relatives that an amputation may be necessary to save his life, to which they consented. Steps were immediately taken to perform the operation, the citizens contributing the necessary funds by subscription with a liberality that speaks volumes for their charitable impulses. Dr. Cadwallader of Fall City, who was sent after to assist, arrived here Friday evening, and by Saturday morning, everything was in readiness. The patient was put under ether, and examination disclosed a badly decayed limb, which necessitated its amputation. The leg was taken off about six inches below the hip joint, the operation consuming about twenty minutes. The patient rallied from the operation in good shape and has but little pain and a good appetite, and hopes are entertained for his ultimate recovery.
