CHINESE BArrLr.-About . o'clock

ping of many pistols and a devil of a
noisc generally, proceeding from the
Chinese quarter, announced a general
row in that delcctable locality. Officers
McCready and High &c ut once rushed
down there in order to spy ont the
dead c%arcasses, and, If possible, corral
the slaughterers, but when they arrived
at the scene of the battle all was quiet,
no warriors to be SEGA, and even the
lights were oil blown out. By judieious
skirmishing, however, they succeeded
in fading a few long-tailed chaps who
looked rs though they might know
something about what was the matter,
and wishing to get even on somebody
for their run down there they COM
menced going through each of them
for concealed weapons. They succeed
ed in finding n little pepper-box pop
gun of a pistol on Que fellow, which
carried n bullet about the size of a
small pea, so him they forthwith
gobbled and carried captive to the
station house. That's all. Those
Celestials eau just get up n fercer
battle at shorter notice, do less dam
age, and get over it quicker than any
other people in the world, especially
when they scent a policeman coming.
A SECOND BuRGLARy.-Last Saturday
night the store of Mercer & Tucker,
Main street, Gold Hill, was entered and
robbed for the second time in two
weeks. This time the burglars entered
through a rear window, by tearing
away the brick work on one side suti-
c~iently to allow Of an arm being thrust
in aud turu the fastening bar OF the iron
shutter, thus allowing Of free ingress
and egres,. They helped themselves TO
boots, cigars, tobacco, and whatever
else they considered worthy of their
steal, to the amount Of FIVE or six hun
dred dollars or more, escaping with
their boots and other booty undecided.
No one was sleeping in the store, there.
fore the robbery was not discovered till
next morning. Information was lodged
with the police, who went quietly TO
work to get on track, if possible, and al
their request we RETAINED from pub
fishing the item ut the time, but now
that the smart rascls have got safely
away from chance Of detection, it is nc
detriment to make the item public,
Those rascals should distribute their ia
vors q little more, and not run on Mer'
Ger 4 Tucker altogether.
SHOOTING ArFRAy.-J. l.. Roach, au
old residen, Of Lyon County, was shot
last Friday on u wood ranch near the
head of Ell Dorado Canyon, some ls
miles the other side of Dayton, by
Frank Rankin. The cause of the shoot
ing was q dispute relative TO the owner
ship of the ranch. A shot gun was
used, the charge being Of various sized
shot. The horse upon which Roach
was riding received the greater part OF
the charge, and died subsequently, in
seque Roach was hit in various
parts Of his body, and two Of the larger
shots entered his abdomen just below
the ribs, on the right hand side. Some
of the shot very extracted by DR.. Haz-
lett. of Dayton, but if his intestines are
cut by any of them Roach will probably
die. A few days will decide the mat
ter. Meanwhile, Rankin was arrested
last evening in Dayton aud lodged in
the Lyon County Jail.

able at Tom Finch's saloon, lower Gold

liquors, ale, porter, ETC.. n variety oil
other desirables are for sale cheap for

SAD AccrDESr.-About IL NJ. to-day,
q little boy five years of age, son OF
Thomas Flynn, shoemaker, lower Gold
Hill, had his left arm broken in two
places, besides receiving severe bruises
on the head and one of his hips. II
appears that the little fellow was play
ing in the street, and evidently in trying
to climb into the rear end of q passing
q in front Of Tom Finch's lower
saloon, he fell with the above result
Mr.. Finch ran out and took the little
sufferer home in his arms. DR.. Hitler
being called upon, rendered the requis-
ite surgical assistance, and the young
patient will doubtless recover in due
season.
FIRE AT VIRGISiA.-About 4 o'clock
this morning, ut Virginia, a general
alarm of FIRE directly brought out the
entire Fire Department, even No. G on
the Divide rolling to the fire, which was
beyond the extreme north end of Wiz
ginia, out on the Geiger Grade. 1t was
the little old toll house, near the Sierra
Nevada works, set on FIRE by some mis-
chief.maker. No damage was done
other than the destruction of the house,
which was unoceupied. Notwithstand-
ing the unseasonableness Of the hour,
the 6rsmen never were more promptly
out with their machines.
