ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES.

FIGHT AT SlLVER.-IOWaruS enl
yesterday, at Silver City, q savage fight
occurred between two men named
Sweet and Howell, resulting in the
manning of Howell in a severe man
ner. 1t appears that these two men
were engaged playing a game of cards
In q saloon below the Silver House,
when one accused the other Of foul
play. and ordinations and recrimina-
lions, with high words, passed betweed
them, ending in a rough and tumble
fight. Sweet got on top Of his antag-
onist, and actually bit of his lower
lip. The parties were then separated,
and Howell was attended to BY a doc
tor. The piece bitten out from the lip
was so large that it is impossible to
connect both sides by stitching. Sweet
has evidently MANNED Howell to an
extent that his crime makes him
amenable to the law for felony, and
may consign him to the p~enitentiary,
If caught and convicted. He immedi-
ately departed for parts unknown, and
had not been arrested this forenoon.
He has been working on n wood ranch
south Of the Carson river somewhere,
and was on a visit to his family at
Silver yesterday. Howell is q man
sixty years Of age, and should GER
tainly have known better than to be
playing cards on Sunday. Sweet Is
said to be only about thirty years Of
age.

yesterday afternoon the dwelling Of
Mrs. Connors, on G street, Virginia,
below the Gould & Curry office, was
entered by a burglar. Mrs. Connors
had stepped out a short time to visit
her next door neighbor, and the rascal
took the opportunity to slip in. When
she returned, rs she came In ut the
front door, she saw the fellow pass
away from the rear of the house, up
the hill, but not perceiving at once
that he had been In the house, she
made no alarm, and he got away clear;
She subsequently found that he had
ransacked pretty much everything In
the house, searching under the heads
of the beds, and ever rummaging
among the dishes In the cupboard. de
seemed, however, to have found moth
ing he thought worthy Of his steal eS-
cent a Colts revolver, which he confis-
Gated. He should be careful not to
commit suicide with 1t.
