MAN SHoT.-Last Monday afternoon, about
Monday afternoon, about six o'clock, as Fa-
ther Roussell, pastor Of the Catholic Church
In this valley, was standing by the fence,
well dressed man, with carpet sack in hand,
approached, and stated to the priest that he
inten led to remain in his house (adioining
the church) that night. The Rev. Father
told him that he had no aecomodations for
him ;; but the man insisted that he would re-
main, and started for the house. The priest
also started. but by a different route. Ar
irving at the house, young man named John
McCauliff, tagged about eighteen years, who
lives with the priest. seeing something was
wrong. armed himself with pistol and came
out of the house. The man approached to-
wards the house, and, using insoent language
declared he would remain. The priest en-
deavered to scare away the man, who seized
a piece of fence rail and struck the Young
man on the head, who then fired ono shot
over the mans head for the purpose of fright
ening him of. But the man again struck
young McCauliff over the head, who then fir
ed two shots at the man---one ball striking
on the temple running round and lolging
under the ear the other struck the left breast
passing through the lung. The Rev. Father
Immediately started for physician. The
man, who fell upon receiving the last shot,
arose and walked into the house, saying, as
he laid upon bed, said would stay in
this house. and intend to- Dr. Simmons
visited the wounded man, and extracted the
two balls The man is, of course, in a criti-
cal condition. There can be no doubt but
he is insane. At times he talks rational
enough but refuses to give his name. He
saws he is last from Gilroy--but remained
there only few days. He had on new
suit of clothes, and some clothing in a carpet
sack. Upon his person was found small
sum of money. He is aged about twenty
eight years; five feet eight inches high Iath-

nose grey or blue eyes sandy hair aud light

The LATE TRAGEDY IN TUoLUMNE COUNTY.
-Ajury ofinquest upon the remains of Mrs.
I. 7. Damn and her two children, who we're
burned to death, lately, at Jeffersonville, Tu.
olumne county, have returned the following
verdict:
We, the jury, sworn to inquire into the
matter OF inquest as above named, having
viewed the remains of Mrs. |. L. Damn and
her two children, Flora and Clara, and heard
the evidence adduced before the Coroner at
the inquest, find that said Mrs. Damn was
aged about twenty-five years; that the chill
dren were aged, Flora about three years two
months, and Clara about two years; that
they were the wife and children Of Isaac L.
Damn. That they came to their death by the
burning Of the house of S. n. Stranahan, at
Jacksonville, ON the night of the 9th of
March, A. D. 1864, when they perished In
the flames, being unable to escape and that
said house was set on fire by an incendlary or
lncendiaries but who committed the act, the
jury, from the evidence, are unable to deter
mine.
1t appears that I. 7. Damn, in self defense,
some time since killed an Irishman named
A. McAllister, was tried and acquitted, and
revenge was sworn by some of the latter's
friends. The following testimony was elicit
ed at the time of the inquest:
Daniel Shell sworn-W -Willingham (John)
told me at my honse last Friday night, about
10 O'Clock, that Williamson, Flanly and
Carr had made the threat that they would
kill Stranahan and Isaac Damn before they
left Sonora, or Tuolumne county, | am not
certain which; live about mile and half
below Rawhide ranch Willingham said
these threats were made at Sonora, after the
verdict of acquittal of Damn; that they were
drinking when they made the threat yester-
day. along about the middle Of the day, | saw
Wilkinson pass my place, driving couple
of COWS; it may have been along in the fore
noon; | suppose he was taking them home.
about ten months ago, on the road near my
place, man named Henry Douglass told me
that if Damn got clear on his trial. he would
be killed before he left the Court House, that
he (Douglass) wouldn't do it, but that man
would or that he knew the man that would,
! won't be positive which.
