in disarming the latter, and at the same
time inserting his weapon in the fish an inch
below the breast. but coming in contact With
rib, glanced off, tearing the flesh about an
inch and entering the arm above the elbow,
thereby infiicting, if not dangerous, a very
painful wound causing considerable guam

combat, as they both appeared weak from
little over exertion and loss of blood, and
matters were at last satisfactorily arranged.

SAD AcciDENT.-Th sad news was brought
to the city yesterday, (says the Sacramento
Union of the 27th), that Mrs. B. N. Bugbey,
of Folsom, had been thrown from horse
which she was riding and almost instantly
killed. The particulars, as near as we could
ascertain them, are as follows: About ten or
eleven o'clock yesterday morning Mr.. and
Mrs. Bugbey left their residence at the Ma
toma Vineyard for Mormon Island, intending
to take the stage for Folsom. Mrs. Bugbey
was horseback, her husband walking by
her side. As they reached Mormon Island a
strong gust of wind blew the lady's riding
habit about the horses head. causing him to
make frightened jump and then run. Mrs.
Bugbee was thrown from the saddle, but
either her foot remained fast in the stirrup
or her skirts caught on the saddle; whatever
the cause, she was dragged several yards,
her head striking on the earth, and when
rescued was in dying condition. This dis
tressing accident, we aie informed, has cast
gloom over the towns of Folsom and Nor
mon Island, where the deceased was well
known and universally respected aud es-
teemed.
