ANOTHER Hox1cIpE, PRosAp1r.-A shoot.

| nSpTAoAA- - ~N~SSs
ing ARRAY took place about noon between two
men named Thomas Wilkinson and John
Clark. Our informant, who witnessed the
transaction says that he noticed Clark de
molishing fence surrounding a lot in dispute
between the parties. On approaching, he
saw Clark unsheath his revolver. A few
minutes afterward Wilkinson came out Of
his house, when Clark ordered him off, at the
same time leveling his pistol, upon which
! Wilkinson drew his pistol and fred four shots
at Clark. Three Of these took effect; one in
| the groin, one in ankle and one in abdomen.
| The wounds are considered fatal. P.S.-Since
| the above was in type our Virginia reporter
sends us the following additional particulars:
| Thos. Wilkinson, the man who did the shoot
ing is now locked up in the city Jail and will
have a hearing before Judge Davenport to-
morrow at 10 o'clock. went to see John
| Clark, the wounded man, at ii o'clock. I
| think his wounds will prove fatal. One shot
entered Just below the navel and passing
through the abdomen came out about the
small of the back, another took effect in the
groin, a third in the right leg, below the knee.
DR.. Bronson is attending him. The ground
in dispute was Of trihing value, mere strip,
| rock strip. Wilkinson fred FIVE shots, Clark

MORE WATER.-The Crown Point Com
pany struck tremendous body Of water in
its DRIFT yesterday. 1t comes in with such
rapidity and in such volume, that the large
stump below the drift was filled in twenty
minutes, and the water had filled the entire
IriA ,rhicb ie WV faaf 1OOr in ah0,,f half
an hour, while the pump was running all the
time. The water rose gradually until last
night, when it stood about eighty feet deep
in the shaft. The pump is kept going, and
this forenoon it was slowly lowering the
water in the shaft. The pump discharges
about thirty cubic feet of water per minute,
and at that rate had at noon lowered the
water about ten feet since il reached its maxi
mum height last night. The cause Of this
sudden Influx of water is explainable on no
other ground than that the workmen struck
through into the ledge. They don't know
whether they came to quartz or not. The
water made them git" in such quick time
that they didn't stop to inquire.
TERRIBLE ACADEMIA man named NJ.
5. Carrahan met with terrible, and it is fear
ed fatal accident to-day. He was :imbering
the shaft OF the Jewett claim and had got up
eighty feet, when the scaHold, which was Of
his own construction, gave way precipitating
him to the bottom Of the shaft. Both his
ankles and his left leg were broken, his breast
crushed and head injured. There is but
slight hope Of his recovery.
A Row.-A fight occurred last night at
the saloon of Wood & Wilson, on street,
Virginia, in which a man named Johnson
was pretty badly injured by being kicked on
the head and about the face. He was sense
less when taken up, and the services of a
physician were necessary to dress his
wounds.
THE MINT.-The Carson Independent,
which keeps its eye peeled on the Branch
Mint question, after studying the news care
fully, arrives at the satisfactory conclusion
that such an institution will be established
at Carson. Keep your eye on it, neighbor.
AccIpESr.-Dr. Geo. Atchison had his
leg broken last evening, by fall while on
horseback. His horse threw him and fell
upon him, breaking his leg little above the
ANGLE. He is being attended BY DIR. Connel-

time book-keeper for the firm OF McLaugh-
