MAN SHoT-About half past seven o'clock yes
terday evening, German named John Gravey was
shot and mortally wounded BY Toney Brown The
affair occurred near the corner Of Pine and CONNER
ca1 streets, and created great excitement in town.
The following are the particulars, as near as we
could learn. 1t appears that Brown and Tom
James, both well known in this place, got into
difficulty over dog fight, and drew their pistols
They were separated, however, James pistol was
taken nom him. and Brown was taken into sa-
loon, but it seems allowed to retain his pistol
A few minutes after Brown came out on the street,
drew his pistol and holding it in his left hand,
fred at James. The ball first passed through his
own right hand, tearing it to pieces, and then struck
GraYey in the right eye, and lodged in his head
He instantly fell to the ground, and although he was
alive at 8oclock, there was no hope Of bis recovery.
Grayey has lived in this neghborhood for a num-
Der of years and was hard working miner He
had nothing to do with the difficulty. Brown and
James were arrested and lodged in jsi. The latter
was not hurt.
Since the above was in type we learn that he is
dead. 5aa

Hoel, on the upper part of Broad street. broken
open on last Saturday evening, during the absence
Jones, which had been left in the kitchen, carried

The next morning the trunk found in fume
back of the house 1t had been broken open, the
papers scattered the ground, and the other arti

which were of considerable value, were all found.
The ECLIPSE, on last Wednesday morning, was
IL 49,, of c;tiz Who
were aroused from their slunbers by the ringing of
the Court House bell and other loud and unusual
noises. Some forty or fifty persons, among whom
were a number Of ladies and children, made their
way to the top of Sugar Loaf, where the sun was
visible ten fifteen minutes earlier than in town.
When the sun rose, as viewed from Sugar Loaf,
about half the disk was obscured, but the planets
were not seen, and the most remarkable phenome-
non to many, was sight of the rising sun.
sMoUNr ORo-Messrs. Yorty & Co., who have

in the course of few weeks, to chronicle some rich
strikes in the Mount Gro District
