DOG FIaHr WITH YARIArIoSs.-A par
,icularly lively dog 6gh, took place
about IL o'clock to-day, on Main street,
Gold Hill, in front of the Vesey House.
One black and white dog, and n yaller
dog, both large sized and pretty equally
matched, got into n private discussion,
which appeared quite interesting TO n
large number of men and boys, who
gathered from far and near, completely
blocking the street. Over and over the
two angry CANNES rolled and tum-
bled, with bloody uecks and faces,
tearing away at each other furi-
ously, while the swaying crowd
pressed closely around, urging them on.
Directly u little dried up, gray-headed
old woman, with sharp black eyes and
strong German accent, made her way
through the crowd and tried to stop the
fight, the black and white dog being
hers. No man would help her, so she
sailed in alone. Raising n small peb-
bic abou, the size Of her head, she
would have brought it down on the era
mum of the adverse dog, but some one
caught her arm jus: in time. This
drove her frantic. She rushed about
catching up any loose stone she could
see in the street, and wildly attempting
10 throw them towards the contending
dogs, but she could not get in a fair
shot BY reason Of those around prevent
ing her. Suddenly she turned her bat
teries loose on the crowd, aud tried her
prettiest to rock them out OF existence,
rafting OF q ,piteful mixture Of Dutch
and English at them between each
shot. Every time her skinny little arm
and hand was raised, somebody had to
dodge u small rock. Such a scattering
OF mankind Is not often seen as this lit
tie old m made. Her rickety sun
bonnet was of, and her gray locks
s,rsamed in the wind. She was on the
~war.path. Moll Pitcher and Joan OF Arc
were nowhere. She made several splen-
did line shots, but good lodging pre-
vented a square hit. The dogs quit
fighting and gazed with absolute dismay
on the new order Of things, and then
ran of in opposite directions. The old
val threw all the loose stones in the
street at the retreating crowd, and
stood tr~iumphantly master OF the sit-
uation." The last We saw OF her she
was walking excitedly up street with
policeman Johnny Best BY the collar
having away at him most vociferousiy
for not going down there and Nrresting
the entire crowd. johnny looked
troubled, and her black and white dog,
with bloody neck and lowered tail, toi-
lowed meekly behind.
Another MrsAR PROBABLY KILLED
About 3 p. N. to-day, just before TINS
paper went to press, a miner BY the
name of Moran, aged about 80 years.
accidentally fell from the s00-foot sta
ton OF the south Yellow Jacket mine,
some sixty-6ve feet to the bot
tom of the shaft. He was
taken out ~inssnsible. His head was
very badly cut and confused, one or
both Of his legs broken. DR.. Hall came
and attended him but his injuries were
of so serious a nature that he probably
died very shortly.
MARRlEp.-wnliam G. Crandall, Esq,
tho active, gentlemanly and popular
Young stage agen, OF Wells, Fargo 3
Co., at Virginia, went down to Silver
CITY and got married last evening. Fur
Their particulars Of the affair will be
seen 10 another column, under head OF
Married." Verify, Billy, it's well.
Strong be the ties that bind thee ever,
Tn double harness tugs ne'er sever,
With thee life's stage upset, no, never
Blu, glide DER blissful roads forever.
GETTING PAsr.-Sinee the inauGur-
alton Of the Virginia City Jockey Club
races, everybody who owns a horse
seems DESTROYS Of developing bis racing
qualities. Doctors in buggies or in the
saddle all drive faster than ever, and
butcher carts, milk wagons and sWiil
carts all dash along ut a fearfully aeesi-
Grated rate. Horse flesh IA, to show
itself, and blood is made to tell, il there
is any tell to it. The races will soon DO
over, when our fast ones will simmer
down again to their good old gait.
