JUsrrrIABLE HoxIcIDE.-James Scott was sho
dnd instantly killed by Mrs. Wilson at her resi-
dence, Oregon Gulch, on the afternoon of th,
9th instant. Scott, while under the influence o
liquor, went to Mrs. Wilson's house, armed will
rife and pistol. leaving his Indian boy outsid,
with double-barrelled shot gun, for the alleged
purpose of arresting little Indian boy living il
Mrs. Wilson's family, on trivial charge. Mrs
wilson saw Scott approaching, and we'll know
ing the character of the man, hurried her child
rem into bedroom, and arming herself with a
pistol returned to the door just as Scott entered
He demanded custody of the boy, whom she re-
piled he could not have without the proper au.
thority. Scott said he would take him, and at
the same time attempted to draw his pistol
Before he could do Mrs. Wilson fired, the ball
taking effect in Scott's breast and bringing him
to the floor. He then threatened to kill her and
she fired again, when Scott begged her to desist
and died in few minutes. Mrs. Wilson imme-
diately came to Weavervile and give herself up.
An examination was had before Justice Lovejoy,
who after hearing the facts in the case set her
liberty. Scott has for years been noted for his
disagreeable and quarresome disposition, and
the unanimous verdict of the community as we'll
ss the officers of the law is that she acted both
bravely and right under the circumstances
Scott was buried in the Catholic cemetery on
Monday last.
NARROW EscAPE.-John Powers, Of this place,
while working alone in his claim on West Wea-
yer creek, was completely buried by a caving
bank, in which condition he remained nearly
four hours. Not coming to dinner at the usual
time, his wife went to the claim, half mile dis
tant, to ascertain the cause. She called to him
from the top of the bank, and received faint
answer, but could not see him. Messrs. Noyes
and Malone, working near by, were soon inform
ed of the condition of things, and set about ex-
Treating him, while Mrs. Powers came to town
and gave the alarm. One thigh was found to be
badly fractured, aside from which no serious in
Jury was sustained DR.. Wilson, who attends
him, informs that he is getting along comfort
ably. His narrow escape is a warning to bach
elor miners not TO work alone.

NEcEssARY.-It has been decided below that the
intent of Hawes' Registry Law is that the names

the best legal talent at Sacramento and the Bay
Next Monday, under the ruling of the law, il

this.
