THE EVENING NEWS.

A MAN SRoT.-A man namSd Joseph
Gurtey, a French cook, formerly Of the Globe
Hotel, Gold Hill, was sho, and dangerously
wounded last evening, about o'clock, on
the Divide, between this city and Gold HUI.
II appears that Gurtcy was passing the
street when man came out Of house
standing near the junction Of the American
Flat road with c street and commenced nrlnS
NJ him. The two first shots missed, but the
third hit Gurtcv in the right breast, just above
the minnie. The wound is dangerous one,
and Gurtsy'S recovery Is considered doubtful.
The name of the man who did the shooting
is Louis, and he is the same man VIII, with
his wife, was arrested and imprisoned for
Stabbing man named Dougherty. lie was
arrested last evening, shortly after the shoot
ing, BY Capt. Glory and officer Russell, OF the
Gold Hill police force. He told the officer
that he shot the man because he was throw
ing stones through his window. Some OF
those who were in the vicinity At the time
and witnessed the affair say that woman
belonging at the house urged Louis TO shoot
Gurtey-Shouting out, "Shoot him shoot
the fellow And even afler he had fred
twice, the woman cried for him to shoot
again-kill him 80 When Louis fired the
third shot, hitting the said Gurtey as stated
above. Ii what Is said of the woman is true,
she should also have been arrested. Mar
Shal Perry, went TO the scene OF the shooting
rs soon as news of it reached him, but was
TOO late 10 make the arrest, the Gold Hill
police having just taken the man away.
JrpGE kELLoGG's CorRr.-There were
several cases before his Honor this morning.
Fred. Myer, drunk; fined Sl2 50. Robert
BOYD, drunk; fined SlT 50. John Fritz,
drunk; fined Sl2 80. John Wyman, drunk;
lined S2j. l.. McSwede was Yesterday fined
go, but this morning he enlisted, and his
fine was in consequence RENTED. The eN-
animation Of Louis Scfclt, charged with shoot
ing Joseph Gurtev, and Of Louisa Setelt,
charged with being accessory TO the crime was
postponed until It could be more definitely
determined how seriously the man shot was
injured \ great deal of interest in the case
is exhibited by the people. At the hour Of
the examination OF the parties the street
around the Office Of the Justice was filled
with persons all anxious to learn the state
OF affairs. This is evidently one Of the most
deliberate and cold-blooGed affairs that ever
happened within the limits Of our town.
Sefelt is drunken, quarrelSome, hellish
scoundrel At the time of shooting, this
man was under bonds Of several thousand
dollars to keep the peace. The people are
greatly iucenSed, and at the time of his ar
rest narrowly escaped being mobbed, and
hanging is freely talked OF on the streets to-
dav. Should the man shot die while the eS-
element lasts, he may not now escape that
fate. We would not like 10 see the law vio-
lated, but 'twould serve him right. 2. S.
It is reported that the man shot is dead.
LAw-RREAXING-BE CAREFUL.-Section
two Of the amendment to the Incorporation
law of Gold Hill provides that the Justice Of
the Peace may impose fines in the sum Of
FIVE hundred dollars, and, in his discretion,
subject the offender to work on the highway
or public works Of the town at the rate Of
two dollars per day until the fine is paid. Be
careful, We who violate the law and have no
money to pay the fine; YOU cannot now snore
away your time in warm blankets in the cal
aboose, but must do your country service on
the public works of the town.

" lively appearance this forenoon. The
streets were crowded with wagons, carriages,
hacks, stages and vehicles Of a more plebian
state, as draws and swill carts, while the side

that the tide of immigration has commenced
over thus early to roll in upon our shores.
