MAN KILLED AT GLESDALE.-About 2
o'clock last Sunday afternoon, Joseph
Stanley stabbed and instantly killed
David Caldwell at a restaurant kept by
the former at Glendale (Stone & Gates
Crossing), on the Truckee River. 1t
appears that Caldwell and half a dozen
others had been taking a ride in a wag-
on, to which was attached u pair of
horses that were being broken. They
left Glendale and went as far as Huffa-
ker's; then, after u short stay, turned
about and came back to Glendale. Upon
crossing the bridge some n proposed
stopping at Stsnley's to take u drink,
and accordingly they turned off the road
and halted at the "~chebang" Of STAN
. ley, y sort Of saloon and chop-house
combined. Almost as soon rs the-party
catered the saloon Stanley accused tho
man who owned the team of having lied
TO him about u COW which he had pur-
chased Of him some time before, at the
same time aiming q blow at him with a
chair. The blew missed the man it was
intended for and struck Caldwell. There
was something Of q row for q short time,
when all hands left and went up to the
further end of town to n store or saloon.
After stopping u while aud drinking,
they drove back, and were about cross
ing the bridge, when some one pro-
posed that they should again stop
and see Stanley, aud finally all hands
got out Of the vehicle and entered
the saloon. Soon something was
said about the former trouble, and Cald-
well and Stanley clinched. They fell
behind the bar Of the place-a little
eight by ten room-and were struggling
together apon the floor, when u friend
of Caldwell pulled him Off Stanley and
started to lead him away. As Caldwell
was going away, and while his back was
turned, Stanley suddenly arose from be-
hind the bar with a huge knife, which
he plunged into his back on the left
side of the spine, inticting u terrible
wound penetrating the heart. At this
time all were moving out OF the place,
and Caldwell fell just outside the door,
expiring almost instantly. Although
but one wound appears upon the body,
Stanley must have made q second thrust,
as one of the hands OF deceased is badly
cut between the thumb and foreinger,
rs though he had grasped the knife
but he may have caught hold Of the
blade Of the weapon ~ it was being
withdrawn. The fatal sffray took place
about the time that dinner was being
prepared, and after having done the
deed Stanley very coolly wiped his knife
upon a napkin aud proceeded about his
household affairs, four men staying on
the premises to guard him. Having
prepared dinner, he came out on the
the porch in front OF his place, where
the dead man was lying, and stepping
over his legs. proceeded to ring his bell,
at the same time calling out, Boys,
dinner is ready - The Coroner was
sent for to Washaf City, some fifteen
armed men in the meantime standing
guard over Stanley, who was allowed
the range OF his shanty. The Coroner
and other officers arriving about
o'clock at night, an inquest was held.
AccIpESr.-About halfpast ! o'clock
last evening the express wagon Of Hsmp-
ton-& Co.., in coming down c street
Virginia. at a dashiug pace, when cross
ing TAYLOR street, ran against and cap
sized the horse OF Mr.. Caruthers, of the
Gould.S Curry mill. The tongue or
pole OF the wagon struck the gentleman
upon the right thigh, tearing his panta-
looms and severely bruising his leg. As
both horse and rider were knocked dat
upon the ground the wonder is that
more damage was not done. The only
other injury sustained by Mr.. Caruthers
was a slight sprain Of the right wrist.

ter sell out, and let Gold Hill run their
corporations.
