roof sweeping of SCOT, cinders and dust,
accidentally lost his footing and fell through

also had a fight at the Pacific, which took
Mace about midnight, an unusual houf LOT

occurred between one Of the engineers ana
some other party connected with the place.
Il was lively; in fact It was the hvhest nSnt
that has occurred in this neighoorhooa SINCE
Cant. Wood and his party were entrenched
in he Independent incline, and the invading
marty hurled tremendous rocks and hred
pistol shots into the warriors Town below.
The comba,an,s at the Pacific secured a
closer hand-,o-hand confiict-and for som

Stbcr eve. In this position the fight was
liyely.-yery lively, it is said-althouSh not
much was said on either side-the one being
a s,ar.cazer and the other having his mouth
full Of fresh thumb. Friends Of the parties
interfered, and tugged and tugged to get the
fryt friends apart; and il was a little while
before they s~ucccedcd-as they seemed to
rather like il. Nobody killed. All quiet on
the Pacific.

his feet being always in the way, etc. Last
Saturday. however, 4 mishap befel him OF
the large foot, which was very painful and
disapreeablc, to say the least-although, as
the sequel showed, there still was n consola-

upon the bic-toc OF our hero, MASKING II to

slipped off the stocking, all reeking with
blood, and looking at the mangled member,
