THE EVENING NEWS.

Of mail is constantly worn. Small boys have
on number of occasions been known to
draw and attempt to use knives and pistols
and majority of the boys in the city are sa'd
20 carry arms Of some kind. We begin 20 oe-
lieve that there is too much truth IN this, ana
think the police should be instructed to search
all the Young rutfans found on the streets
and disarm all who are found carrying wea-
mons of any kind. We are induced to make
these remarks from the fact of boy having
shot and severely wounded DR.. Bird last
evening about o'clock, while he was passing
along Taylor, near H street. 1t appears that
there were a number Of young desperadoes
banded together and engaged in stoning
Chinaman, when the Doctor came up and
stopped and demonstrated with them for their
rutianly conduct. After having rebuked
them, he started on, but had not gone far
before he felt something strike his leg
Thinking the boys, who were making great
noise again, had hit him with stone, he
turned about and commanded them TO step
thro wing, when he again started 10 walk on.
Mr.. B. V. Ward, the gentleman from whom
we obtained the particulars above, happened
to be passing along the street just At this
time, and noticing that the Doctor staggered
and seemed faint, went 70 his assistance,
when it was discovered that he had been shot
in the leg, and that his faintneSS was caused
bv loss OF blood. Mr.. Ward saw boy FIRE
pistol from the corRer OF building, but At
the moment paid little attention TO his move
mentS, as he did not suppose he had shot At
anv one. When il was discovered that the
Doctor was wounded, search was made for
the bov, but he was not 10 be found. 1t has

Of good behavior. He Is again in the sta

HORRIBLE ACcIDEST.-A horrible ac-
cideat happened this morning about eight
o'clock in the Pride of America claim,
American Flat, in which man named Fred.
Stinekamp, was terribly, if not fatally in-
iured. The facts, as near as we could learn,
are these; Fred. Sharbeck and the man
hurt had been working below about an hour.
The end of the shaft where Stinekamp was
working was considerable lower than the
other. The whim driver, Mr.. Hess, gave as
explanation of the cause Of the accident that
the hook was icy. and in irving to faS:en Il,
the bucket got away. When Mr.. Sharbeck
heard the whim-driver shout when the bucket
fell, he caught hold of his partner to pull
him away, but he was too late; the bucket
struck him on the side Of the head, breaking
the skull and also breaking his right arm. The
shaft was l20 feet deep and by in size.
The injured man is now at the Gold Hill
Brewery. under the medical careof DrsWebber
and Scarce. Small hopes are entertained OF
his recovery. The skull OF one side Of his
head was pressed in upon his brain more
than a quarter of an inch, and the cash en-
tended from the fore to the back part OF the
head. twas horrible affair, and should be
a warning Of caution 20 those men working
At top Of mines.
LoIs ANN CoMPANY.-This claim is situa-
ted north of the Arizona, and was located
about one year ago. An incline was run up
on the ledge 80 feet, but striking water at this
depth, the incline was abandoned, and 4 tun-
mel has been run about l50, striking the ledge,
which is a large and well defined one, show
ing some very good quartz. The tunnel IS
now being run upon the ledge, into the centre
Of the hill, and as the hill is very abrupt
distance of 100 feet more, will attain quite
depth upon the ledge. The company claims
400 feet upon two lodges, making $500 in
all. In the immediate vicinity Of the Lois
Ann, we noticed other claims, which have
not been worked but little, showing fine lodges
upon the surface; among them the Treasury
and Bunker Hill. These ledges, it seems,
were first found by the discoverer seeing
where they were cut through upon the Ophir
grade. There are many fine indications OF
lodges in this vicinity. Capital and labor
will undoubtedly, some day, develop them.
PRIZE FIGHT.-This forenoon about a
thousand admirers of the "manly art" went
down Six-Mile Canon to a spot somewhere
below the Gould & Curry Mill, to witness a
prize fight between Patsey Foy and one Of
the Bradley brothers. The matter was kept
very still, and few persons in Virginia knew
anything Of il till near noon. We have not
heard the result.
Who Is CORONER Judge Atwill was
sent for this morning to hold an inquest on
the body of Dowd, but as the County Com
missioners short time since appointed an
other gentleman Coroner (some say without
proper authority the question naturally
arises-"who is Coroner:"
We LIVE BY EATISG.-0ne firm in Vir-
ginia, who are engaged in slaughtering ami
mails for the supply of the city with meats,
have killed and sold during the last three
DAYS, fifty full grown beef cattle, besides they
have slaughtered large number Of calves,
sheep and hogs.
RgcRr1TISe.-The business of recruiting
for the First Infantry Regiment is progress
ing as well as could be expected in Virginia.
A good many "blue-coats" are to be seen
about the streets, seeking whom they may
enlist.
DEAD.-Dowd, the man who was shot on
Monday last by James, died about o'clock
this morning. An inquest was held on the
body this afternoon, but we are unable to get
the result in time for our issue Of this even
ing.
THERE are whole schools of people waiting
in this city and Virginia for chance to get
out TO Humboldt and Reese. At present their
opportunities for getting away are few and
far between, without a delay of several days.
JUDGE ArwILL's CorRr-This Court is
still engaged the case Of the Alban G. & S.
NJ. Co. VS.. the Virginia Hill G. & S. NJ. Co.
How long it will be kept on the "stocks" is
more than mortal man can tell.
GLAD TO SEE THEM.-A great many la
dies are coming over from California this
spring. We are glad to see them coming
the society of the Territory needs the amelio-
rating influence of woman.
We may look for more arrests in Virginia,
now that the election is over. A man may
be little drunk before casting his vote, af-
terwards it behooves him to be careful about
over-indulgence.
