National Police Gazette OF August 29th,
copies from the GoLD Hill NEWS our
account of the tragedy at the North Pc.
tosi tunnel, in Virginia City, last July,
when "Russian Pete" killed Walter
Williams, aud directly afterward COM
mitted suicide. D~eliueative OF the
scene the artist has fixed up n pictorial
illustration, which, although perhaps q
little incorrect in some minor partcu-
lars, give IL very fair idea Of the locality
and occasion. The timbered mouth Of
the tunnel is represented, with the hole
cayed in the roof, through which Pete
shot Williams. Dick Preston and an
other man are seen rushing forward and
catching the falling Williams in their
arms. Sheriff Mulcahy and Deputy
Gregory are climbing the steep bank of
the ravine over the tunnel, while on
each side, carefully guarding the en-
trance Of the tunnel, with shotguns in
their hands, are Ben Lackey and George
Downey. Directly in front Of the tun-
mel, nmbushed behind a big log, lies
Dick Paddock, lying at full longth on
his belly, firing into the tunnel with q
Henry rife resting over the log. These
individuals Of whom we speak, may
perhaps recognize their portraits, but
the rest of the crowd who were there
are not represented in the picture. 1t

TARGET Excursion - BALL.-To-
morrow friday the famous Emmet
Guard of Virginia goes OF m excursion
for target practice. The locality Sc
lected will probably be at or near the
old Provost station, ut the lower or
easterly edge Of the city, and we doubt
not some good shots will be made, as
well rs many poor ones. Some fifteen
or twenty prizes are to be shot for, in
Guiding some valuable ones, and, We
presume the ever accompanying leather
medal. Who wins that? In the even
ing they will have II grand military and
civic ball at Lyons Niagara Hall, on b
street, where they expect to meet all
their respectable friends, rich or poor,
and Join in u truly social terpsichorean
reunion, such as it does II person good
to remember for months afterward.
The best band in the State is secured
for the occasion and all other requisite
preparations duly attended to. We &C.
