THE EVENING NEWS.


Carly. 1t appears that the men were
ordinarily on terms of friendship, aud
that they were drinking together nearly
all the afternoon. The occasion of the
shooting was a remark made by Fitz-
gerald about McCarty's wife. He told
McCarty that he liked him very we'll,
that he was a good fellow, etc., but that
he considered his wife to be y id
slut" or words TO that edect-perhaps
a little strouger-when McCarty drew a
fv~e-shooter and began blazing away at
him. He fred three shots, the last Of
which took effect in ~Fitzgerald's mouth
and brought him to the ground. Nc
Carly then ran away, but WAS followed
and captured near the Gould 4 Curry
works. Constable Lackey soon arrived
upon the ground and took him to the
City Jail, where he is now confined.
The wound received by Fitzgerald is not
a dangerous one, though of = very pain
ful nature. The ball entered his lower
lip on one side and wen out through
the other, carrying away all his front
teeth and a few ~splinters of jaw bone.
No other shot took effect.

WHO IL AT FAULr.-For some time
past, y man has been lying sick with
the smallpox, in a certain boarding.
house in Virginia city, and was daily
visited by men who are working in some
of the mines of Gold Hill. We are cred
ibly informed that the man who took
care OF this smallpox patient during
his illness is now at work in one of our
mines; and one Wm. Bellam, who WAS
at work with him, has been taken down
sick and was removed to the ~pest-house.
There are many more who will doubt
less meet with a similar misfortune,
owing to the negligence OF the proper
authorities in our n~eighborihg town.
We are not disposed to complain about
triHes, but when our ueighbors in Vir-
ginia, through carelessness, send among
our citizens q contagion as losthesome
rs the smallpox, we deem it time to
enter our protest, and call on the proper
authorities TO protect themselves in some
way.

office News Depot, a large lot Of late
Eastern pictorials and magazines was

SHOOTING CLuB.-A shooting club has
been formed in Gold Hill, the members
being the best shots about this neck OF
land-Sam Hyatt being the leader Of
them. The sport will some
time next week-the shooting ground
10 be selected being either ut Fort
Homestead or on the Divids-east of
the "roost Of the Sage Hen" 1t is a
notorious fact among those who know
US tina, zee are q Observation-Disclosures in
a duel or on . pigeon-huut-the shoot
ing club has not allowed US to join. No
doubt they were afraid that wewould
kill all their pigeons next week.
REruRSrSG.-within the pastfew days
we have met u great many old Gold
Killers, who have been spending the
o.tafla districts and have
returned to spend the winter here.
Some have been in Montana, some In
Excelsior, and others in Pahranagat
and Silver Bend. All report the mines
rs promising and evidently productive,
when developed; although our old
Wsshoe miners have but q poor opinion
of the manner in which New YORK CON-
psnies manage their mines.
MITCHELL vs.. O'NEALE.-This case is
still on trial, and the testimony for de-
fence will probably occupy all day.
Mitchell's testimony was concluded yes
terdsy, and John Rule and W. T:O'Neale
were called for the defence. O'Nesle
denies all obligation or understanding
of partnership with Mitchell, except as
regards the Marysville mill. There is a
direct question of ve-acity between the
two.

Wells, Fargo & Co., left last evening by

ton. We yesterday had the pleasure
