Correspondence Of the Nevada Journal.

NORTH BLOOMFIELD, Monday, June IA.
Owing to the effects Of the Sunday
law our little town was unusually dull
yesterday. Stores of every description
were closed. and disposition manifested d
to observe the law pretty generally
The hotel and saloon keepers, however,
kept open as usual.
I ain informed by Mr.. Dennison, the
gold dust buyer, that the quantity OF
dust brought to market during the week
past has sensibly decreased. The cause
he attributes mainly to the large num-
Der of miners called away to the county
seat as witnesses in the ditch suit be-
tween Dir. Weaver and the Lake com
pany.
Some of our miners are leaving daily
for Frazer River. Six or eight of our
best citizens talk Of leaving for the new
diggings about the first of July. If this
excitement continues few weeks lon
ge~ grass widows will be plenty even in
this country.
A sad accident happened yesterday
between Bells Ranch and the Kenne-
bee House. Mr.. Gorman, citizen of
this place, was driving two horse agon
with his wife, two children and Mrs
Thomas, of this place, in it. Something
got wrong with the harness. While Mr..
German was in the act of fixing it the
horses took fright and run away, drag
ging Mr. G. some distance by one han d;
when he let loose the wagon ran over
him, breaking his left arm and very
badly bruising his body and head. The
horses ran slsort distance upsetting the
wagon throwing the whole party, Mrs
Gorman, Mrs. Thomas and the two little
children headlong upon the ground
b u stag and crushing the women
almost 20 death. Fortunately the two
children escaped unihjured.
The women and children were brought
to town last night in wagon Mr..
German was too badly injured to be
brought in, SO he was carried home in
hammock. They are in distressing
situation. and deserve the sympathy of
all the community.

Shooting Affair at Forest City.

A shooting affair occurred at Forest
City on Wednesday morning Of last
week between Thos. j. Andrews, for
merly of this vicinity, and man known
as French Pete" of Forest City. The
particulars are related to US as follows
Andrews went into Wilson's Saloon
on Tuesday evening. He had been
drinking and stated to a stranger with
whom he had before had a difficulty
that he could whip him or any body in
the ROOM French Pete" Immediately
jumped up and presented himself, ap-
plying to Andrews harsh epithets,
slapping him in the face three times, at
the same time holding revolver to his
ear. Andrews had no weapon and en-
deavored to pacify ''French Pete"-
The parties separated. On the fol
lowing morning Andrews told a friend
he desired to settle the recent
difficulty with French Pete" and
asked his company on visit to his ad-
versary, which was granted. Hest, the
friend of Andrews, testified at the ex-
animation that Andrews expressed de-
sire to adjust the difficulty amicably.-
"Frencf Pete" was found at saloon
Andrews went up to "Pete" and re-
marked, "you rather had the advantage
Of me last night or words of like im-
port. Pete instantly drew Lis pistol,
and Andrews quickly followed suit
The latter having an English revolver
had the advantage in firing. Andrews
fired three shots, the first taking effect
in the left arm of his antagonist, the sec
ond over the right eye, glaneing along
the side of the head towards the ear, the
third and last shot entered the side atthe
opposite side of the body.
French Pete fired but one shot which
passed through the coat-sleeve of An
drews.
The affair was investigated before
Justice and Andrews held to bail in the
sum ofS2000 in default of his appear
ance at the next Court of Sessions. Our
informant says Andrews is justified by
the entire community. French Pete
was much in the habit of drawing deadly
weapons and is counted dangerous
man.
