Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1867-05-01
THE EVENING NEWS.

IL o'clock, the National Guards had a
parade through the principal streets Of
town, and then marched to the Silver
Terrace, where the target shooting came
OF. Three shots each were fred BY
each member of the company. Some Of
the shooting was very c~reditable, but
the greater part of il was very wild.
The distance vas 200 yards, and out Of
$50 shots only IL struck the board,
which was 81 feet square. The silver
medal was won by W. W. Turney, 4
young man who we understand has had
q long experience shooting at rebels
during the late rebellion. The second
prize was won by Lieut.. Latham, he be-
ing the only one who hit the "bulls
eye" This prize was q handsome pair
OF quartz sleeve buttons, presented BY
Col. Bstterman, of Gold Hill. The
third prize was won by Sergeant Mars
ton, and consisted Of u pair Of custom
made pants, presented by Mr. Elkus.
The leather medal was won by 5. I.
Gage. The best shots were made by
George Cain, he being the only one who
hit the board every time. Three OF the
others made two shots nearer than
Gains, while the other one missed en-
tirely. 1t is our opinion that if 1t had
been leh to the company to decide, Gam
would have taken the medal, as he made
the best average shots. After the shoot
ing, the company marched back TO town
and repaired to the Opera House, where
they left their arms. In tae evening,
the benefit WAS a complete success. We
have never seen so many ladies in the
Theatre =, one time. The dress circle
was a perfect Jam, and down stairs 1t
was almost equally full. The perform
ance was good throughout, n seemed
TO give general satisfaction. The tao
lean BY the company, representing a
hand to hand engagement, was splendid.
Man KrLtrp.-Last evening, AZ six
O'Clock, as the men in the old works OF
the Savage mine were changing shift, n
Chilano by the name Of Mutalone while
attempting to crawl through the tinbers
in the SHAFT in order to get on the cage
was caught by the head and instantly
killed. For a long time past the de-
ceased has been in the habit OF crawling
through the timbers to get on the cage.
A number Of the miners have emon-
strated with him, and told him he would
&c, caught sometime and be killed. but
to no use. Yesterday evening, the cage
in the center shaft was at the 500 foot
level, and the men had just filled the
cage and ruug the bell, the cage started
up, but deceased had just started TO
crawl through and was caugh. by the
head and crushed. l.. VI. Gle who was
on the a attempted 10 catch hold Of
the man with one hand and ring the bell
with the other. In so doing he lost his
balance on the cage and was damned
against the timber so that he Was Sc
verely bruised and cut. No one is to
blame but the man who Was killed, as
it was his own rashness that caused the
accident which is almost invariably the
case.
CALICO PARry.-The calico party CIV
en- last night at Athletic Club Hall, Viz
,ginia. for the benef, Of the Southern
Relief Fund. was well attended. There
were not = great many present until af-
ter the Theatre closed, when the hall
VA filled as full IS it could we'll be for
comfort. In the rooms down stairs
there was an ice cream table, a lunch
table, and $ table where they had some
fluid called the ''oil ofjoy." This table
was presided over by Mrs. Dayton and
Mrs. Spaulding, and, if We are not mis-
taken, we have tasted some Of the same
kind Of beverage At Spaulding's Saloon.
One thing is certain, it was much liked
BY both sexes, and wentof twice as fast
as any other article for sale. There IS
no doubt but a fair amount was realized
from the party.
A BRsAk.-This morning, a short
distance below the Imperisl mill, lower
Gold Hill, a tesmster was doing some
thing to a wagon, when he threw the
brake of. The wagon being on the hill
side, it started down the hill wrong end
foremost. After going some fifty feet
and getting under good Roadway, it
struck 9 house and almost demolished
it, going through one end of the build
ing, and smashing things generally.
CAuaHr.-The man who robbed the
Gold Hill Cemetery Of posts and lumber,
has been caught, and is now in durauce
vile. If conclusive evidence can be
brought against him, we hope he will
suffer the full penalty Of the law. A
man who would rob 8 graveyard is mean
enough to do anything. P. S.-Since
-. - tvra wa Lam That the
party hiss been tried, convicted, and
sentenced to Is days Imprisonment. in
the county Jail.

form but q few nights, let all who wish
10 see his wonderful feats go and see.
