A Desperate Affray-Five Men Shot!

Desperate Affray-Five Men Shot!
About ten o'clock yesterday forenoon, the
town was set in ferment in consequence of
a desperate shooting affray which took place,
the history of which is as follows:
On Tuesday night rencontre took place
between NJ. A. Mclaughlin and Jack Hun
ter, both of whom are generally regarded
as game men" and being separated, and
arrested, a partial agreement was made be-
tween them during the heat Of excitement,
| to fight it out in the morning with weapons
Hunter, it seems, was under the influence of
liquor at the time of the affray and ran all
night In the morning, yesterday while
Mclaughlin was sitting in the room occu-
pied by Justice Berry, waiting, Hunter
came in and going up to him, made use Of
some offensive remark to which he,-Mc-
aughlin-replied, and high words ensuing,
Judge Berry told Hunter to leave the room,
saying that he would not allow any fights to
take place in his Office Hunter went out
the door, and returned into the room in O
few moments and with but few more pre-
liminares, his and McLaughin's pistols
were drawn, and-fIunter shooting first
they commenced banging away at one an
other with most singular effect. The first
shot hit Judge Berry in the calf of the right
leg, he being directly between the combat
tans. The second shot is probably one of
three which hit Mclaughlin, who was
wounded in the left calf, in the right foet,
and on two fingers of the right hand. Mr..
Brooks, the pawnbroker, who was present,
was wounded by the third or fourth shot in
the fleshy portion of the right hip Mr.. -
Clark, of the firm of j M. Clark & Bro >,
while approaching the scene Of the ight,wa
struck in the back by o shot, which proba-
bly, came from McLaughlin's pistol This
shot hit Mr.. Clark after having passed
through the side of the house. After some
six shots were fired, the two men clenched,
and in the struggle which followed, Hunter
was shot through the front side of the right
thigh, and was also beaten severely on the
head with McLaughlin's pistol. About this
time, officer Durette, aided by one or two
others, separated them and took Hunter to
Jail. The other wounded men were assisted
| to their various homes
Judge Berry's wound is severe one the
external bone tthe fbula) being fractured
by the shot He bled very prefusely, and
when we saw him shortly after the affray,
was quite weak from loss of blood.
Mclaughlin is of course laid up with his
wounds but is as comfortable as could be ex-
pected.
Brooks is pretty badly hurt, the wound
in his hip being an ugly one, and the ball
being not yet extracted.
Clarks wound is slight one. on the
"small'' of the back, merely injuring to a
small extent, the cuticle and external mus
cles He however made very narrow es-
cape from fatal wound.
Hunter is suffering from the natural ef-
| fects of battered countenance, and super
| fetal flesh wound.
| As near as can be determined, seven shots
were fired, each one Of which inflicted o
wound.

Oroville daily Butte record., 1858-01-28

We continue our extracts from the Demo-
cratic press of the State. 1t is gratifying to
witness the unanimity and frmness with
which the Democratic press Of the youngest
State in the confederacy giheres to correct
principles. Will the older States but cx.
hibit q like devotion to principle, scorning
all unprincipled advantage, however seduc.
tive it may be, our beloved Union and the
Democracy will ever remain firm as the rock
of ages. The Union Democrat, in an article
deploring any division in the Democratic
party, has the following. That paper, in
common with the entire democratic press OF
the State, and the advocates from the stump
endorsed the doctrine Of popular sovereign
t5 in the campaign of '56, and dis
tinctly declares that it "endorses it now"
and that they ''know no such word as
cbange.' 1t further says
I'VE believe the people are capable of self gov
believing 50, we are not afraid to tru Il
them. We hold that the whole constitution should
have been submitted and that it should not be
forced upon the people against their will, matter
how perfect 1t may be- or how expedient II may be.
Judge Douglas has aot changed-he occupies the
same ground now that he did when he so fcrcibly
and unselfshly ''stumped it, for President Buehan-
an and it is in exceeding bad tase if not nconsst-
tent, cowardly and base for papers protesting to be
Democratic to censure and traduce him for his
course.
The Calaveras Chronicle endorses the
position Of Governor Walker, as follows:
I'VE have one prayer to make, however, and IL at
4. Il l..l
urbed by the wall of the dying the victims of civil
war; that the quiet an peacable tactics of Govern
or Walker, which subdued tho fierce waves of con-
tenton that were threatening to engulph that her
'itage and embroil our whole Union in contest,
will still influence rulers and the ruled-and Kansas
may be welcomed as sister among US, with her
hands i1nbrued with no more of the blood Of our
citizens"
The following from the California Erpress
merits "three times three and tiger" and
we would cheerfully give them, only slight
cold admonishes US that sore lung would be
the consequence. Iti en- emphatic endorse
ment of the popular sovereignty doctrine
It would require Douglas, or Walker, to
be more decidedly in favor of that great
Democratic doctrine-"the vital principle Of
our free institutions:
ave look upon every man, who kes faithfully
stood by the Kansas-N Nebraska bill, and now stands
by it to the full extent of its great popular
reiynty doctrine, as good enough National Demo
crat for all future contingencies. We consider that
doctrine the great railying point of the Democ-
racy, and that whoever POUNDS himself upon it is d
Democrat and nothing but Democrat"
That's the talk And those who do not
adhere to the popular sovereignty doctrine
are not Democrats and are anything but
Democrats.
