SHOOTING AFFAIR. - Yesterday after

some Cinnamon. From George Downey
we &c, the following particulars: Yes
terday afternoon, at about 2 o'clock, foui
Cinnamon became insulted at the conduct
of q brother John, and began to stone
him. John fell back in good order, and
at the same time asking for a cessation oil
ho.,ili,ies in the mos, pathetic terms but
vengeance was theirs. At this point John
drew a pistol and commenced firing at ms
pursuers, the first shot striking one OF the
Cinnamon on his arm, the ball passing
through the arm, and making an ugly OUT
not dangerous wound. We understand
tina, the bone was no, fractured, however.
The Chinaman fed in the direction OF
DAYTON. and was pursued BY several CHI
namen for some distance. Officer Dow
new. as soon as he became aware Of the
situation of things, went in pursuit, but
failed 70 find him. The fugitive was bare
footed. and must have found the travelling
rather rough. The Chinaman who did
the shooting, We understand, was per-
tec,lv justified. as he did it in self-defense.
The principal n in the row was arrested
BY officer Downey, and is now in the sta
ton house.

MEN ISJURBD.-Hearing tina. an accident
had occurred in the Bullion mine yesterday,
we called, thi, morning. and obtained the
following particulars; Two men had just
pu, of a blast and returned TO their work,
when 4 body Of loose rock overhead, that was
not timbered up yet, having been so Jared oy
the blast that il gave way, and a portion M
struck one man, knocking him down, and
bruising him considerably. The other man
was a little further back, and the edge Of the
cave struck the side Of his head, cutting two
gashes tina, run TO 4 point at the upper end,
making the wound in the shape OF the letter
A. /, also peeled the scalp loose from the
head for about three inches in length. Both
injured men are getting along as well As could
be expected.
MusIc HALL.-Last night there was
a large crowd present At Music Hall, and
the gif. entertainment created much
amusement. The greatest difficulty was
the crowd were afraid to acknowledge
tina, they were the lucky holders Of tick
cts for fear Of being sold. All the lucky
ones, however, came forward and took q
place on the stage. and each received their
prize as advertised. The performance was
very good, and all went away we'll pleased.
Tonight there will be a good bill out,
and no doub, that all who go will get
their moneys worth.
SrReIcAL.-Yes,erday afternoon a sur
g,cal operation was performed by Drs.
McMeans, Briarly and CASTOR on a broth
er doctor. For some time past DR.. Watts,
of Virginia City. has been suffering from
a cancer on his lips, and on yesterday
afternoon the above named physicians ad-
minis,ered chloroform to him, and cut
away all the diseased portion Of his lower
lip. The doctor this morning is quite
easy, and in a few days will be able to
attend TO business.
THAT BARS.-"Old Smarty" dan , Of
the Enterprise nibbles heavy this morning
on the burning Of George Smiths barn,
GU, a, Red Mountain. We sold Old
Smar,y. There is no such man as George
Smith-he's only a m~yth-but as Dan is
big on myths, he has made a big item out
of George Smiths barn-burning. We
knew all the time. that it was the aurora
the other night that made the conaagra-
ton. Put out the gas, Dan.
GOLD HILL MARxEr.-Mr. Fox, Of the
Gold Hill Market, recently killed about two
hundred grain-fed hogs. and the hams, shout
ders, and sides, have been cured At his estnb-
lishment. We have tried the article, and
pronounce the meat equal to any we ever cat.
This is saying 4 good deal, as WI have lived
in Illinois, and know what pork and hominy
means. The lard, too, rendered from this
pork, is ~ sweet a. May butter, and 10 put
up in cans to suit. The good housewives
and cooks Of Gold Hill, will just go and try
for themselves.
