ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES.

TIE SHOOTING OF PARxE.-In u
item Of yesterday relative to the shoot
ing of Ira S. Parke by August Engle-
hardt, II tailings sluice operator In
Six-mile Canyon, we simply gave the
account Of the affair as given US by Mr..
Bowie, partner of Mr.. Parke, having
no time to get any other In season for
publication, yet willing to give both
Sides, we publish the following ac-
count given by Englehardt to the re-
porter Of the Enterprise after his ar
rest. He says he was engaged in re-
placing some of his sluice boxes which
the flood had washed out, and was in
the act Of driving a nall into the boxes
to fasten them down, when Mr.. Parke
came to him. Having his head down,
and being intent upon his work, Mr..
Parke was almost upon him before he
saw him. As he raised up Mr.. Parke
pushed him backwards down the bank
almost into the water Of the canyon,
threw his hammer and nails after him
into the water, and then kicked over
the boxes. He got up the bank, and
angry words passed. He says Mr..
Parke came toward him, when he
stepped into his house, got his revolver
and fired q shot into the air to scarf
him. Parke wouldn't scare, so he fired
at him the next time. He says he only
used a pistol, and fired but two shots.
As to the matter Of controversy which
finally led to this unfortunate atfray,
the Enterprise Of this morning gives
the following version, which corre-
sponds with what has also been given
us: The trouble between the parties
appears to have been about ownership
OF the property upon which Engle-
hardt was residing and has been at
work. Some time since, Engiehardt
loaned a considerable amountot money
to the then owner Of the mill and
claim, taking a mortgage on the same
to secure himself. The money loaned
not being paid, the mortgage was fore
closed and the Sheriff Of Storey county
put Englehardt in possession OF the
premises. Parke 81 Bowie next came
i'm, it seems, and claimed the property
as theirs, stating that 1t was upon land
granted to the Central Pacific Rail-
road Company, Of whom they had pur-
chased. The matter In this shape has
been in the Court, and there has been
more trouble legal and otherwise
about the property than could readily
bo given In detail.
STAGES, Cars AM MAILs.-Wood-
ruff & Ennor's stages brought in about
twenty passengers from Steamboat
Yesterday, arriving about 3 O'Clock r.
NJ, together with. a portion OF the
mails. These passengers and mails
were brought by wagon and carriages
from Reno to Steamboat, that section
of the Virginia and .Truckee Railroad
being so badly damaged by the storm
and floods that trains are not able to
pass over it at present, but a large force
of men are energetically ut work re-
pairing it. Until trains can run over
IL Woodruff Sc Ennor will transport
passengers and mails regularly as pos
sible BY the present means adopted,
and no increase Of passenger fare.
They dispatched their stages from Vir-
ginia this morning at s O'Clock, and
will send them out at the same hour
tomorrow and next day, carrying
passengers, mails and Wells, Fargo&
Co.'S Express to all parts Of the world.

rived BY fast freight team at noon to.
day. The Central Pacific Railroad
across the Sierra. Is not seriously
blockaded thus far, and the trains have
been able to make their regular trips.
The Union Pacific, however, continues
demoralized. The stages which LEFT
Virginia this morning are expected TO
return BY 6 o'clock p. ". from Steam
boat with passengers and mails from
Reno.
