ANOTHER BLOODY FREE FIGHT.-
About IL O'Clock last night there was
the toughest kind Of a free fight at =
saloon on Main street, below the hall
OF Liberty Engine Company No. l.
1t appears to have been a sort Of en-
tension Of the big free fight on Fort
Homestead the morning previously, as
several parties concerned In that one
were participants in this. We do not
care to 90 into the minute particulars
rs to how it commenced, but suffice it
to say that it was :, rough and tumble
arrangement, in which about q dozen
were actively engaged, MASKING each
| others faces, gouging and trying to do
serious damage. II was Il perfect love
feast of p%uSnacious belligerency, and
in the course of IL Thomas Carroll shot
of his pistol, the ball passing through
the thigh of James Shields. and then
through the floor. lie managed to
send another shot through the floor
before the officers could stop the fun.
He Is said to have shot in selfIlefense.
Some Of the ~ringlcaderS were arrested.
one of them while pleasantly engaged
with another chaps head lin cham
| Gerry under his arm, trying to dig his
eyes out with fingers and thumbs.
| Carroll made his escape, but Constable
| Harkin found him about ten o'clock
| this forenoon in Lower Gold Hill.
officer NewhOuse and Marshal Gram
dali were very active and efficient in
their efforts to quell the battle. \ por-
ton of the combatants have their en-
animation before Justice Cook this at
terloon, and the balance tomorrow.
Professor Nye attributes these frequent
general fights to the hot weather and
fiery whisky. mduly heating up mems
blood. It certainly is too early by a
couple of months for the Fall fights to
set in.
The ALuAMnRA.-The entertainment
given last evening was a capital one,
and well attended. The Old Sexton,
sung by Lindsay in the lnterlude, was
magniicently rendered. The various
songs, dances and character acts by
Mathews, Bamford, Rather, Winning,
| Worrell and others were also much
applauded. The Gold Hill Ghost, Spir-
ifual Tables, Bro,rn Of the Coal Yard
and other dramatic bits Of fun were
never better given, and the jolly after
piece of The Nan wih the White Hat
On, or Uh0 Stole the Donkey? Kept
everybody in the house laughing for an
hour after the theater was out. We
expect there is another capital bill for
tonight, but haven't seen a programme
for 4 week, therefore can't state par
ticularS.
PRESIDENT GRANT COMING HERE.-
We are informed, on good authority,
that when President Grant makes his
proposed visit to the Pacific coast he
specially intends coming to Virginia
and Gold Hill. He earnestly desires
TO come to the famed land Of sagebrush
and silver bricks, already visited by
Vice President ColfaN and other nota-
bles. Verify he will find q hearty
welcome reception ut the hands OF the
loyal WaShoeites.

the hottest ot the season, the thermom-
eter here in Gold Hill, at 8 O'Clock p.
~. indicating just 90 degrees in the
shade. with u light breeze stirring, pre-
venting the heat from feeling quite so
