OFFICER BRINroN PERHAPs MoKrAILY
WouNDED.-Abou half past 2 O'Clock
this morning q desperate shoeting
ARRAY occurred on South c street. Viz
ginia, In front Of Wells Fargo & Co.'s,
between William Garrard aud Deputy
Constable Brinton, resulting In the
latter being badly and perhaps fatally
wounded. Garrard Is q young man
about nineteen or twenty years ofage,
son OF William Garrard, who was re-
Gently rendered the appointment Of
private secretary to Governor Bradley.
Young Garrard came In from Walker
river yesterday morning, where he has
been herding cattle, and last night was
at Scott's dance saloon, on South G
street, dancing and having a good
time. About half past 2 o'clock he
LEFT to 60 home with Annie Sullivan,
one Of the girls dancing at the saloon,
when Brinton objected, saying that
was his girl, and he would see that no
one went with her but himself. The
three passed out together, and had
only gone a few yards when the dis
pute ended In a collision, and both
men drew their pistols and went to
shooting ut each other only eight or
ten feet apart. Brinton fired two shots
and Garrard three. Garrard was not
hit at all, but he hit Brinton twice,
one ball lodging In his right shoulder
and another entering the front
portion Of his LETT side, just
above the lower rib. Garrard was
assisted by officer Morrow. and Is now
In the station-house awaiting the re-
suit Of Brintou's wounds. Brinton,
with the assistance of two men, walked
to DR.. Heath's Office, near by, and sub
sequently to the Occidental lodging
house, across the way, where he now
lies. Dr. Heath and Green, upon OK
animation, pronounce the wound Ia
his side a very dangerous, but not nee
essarily fatal one. They did not find
the ball. therefore 1t may have pene-
trated into the cavity beyond the ribs.
That in the shoulder is merely flesh
wound, but they did not find that ball
either, owing to the condition Of the
patient not allowing Of a critical sx-
animation at present.
PIpER's OPERA HousE.-East Lynne
drew a densely crowded audience last
evening. Miss Prica appeared as
"Lady Isabel" rendering that chai-
acter most admirably, yet not excel
ling others we have een in the same
impersonation upon that stage. She
was fully up to the standard, however,
and portrayed the desperately jealous
and impetuous, yet loving young wife,
with a depth and intensity Of feeling,
and t%ruthfulness to nature, whichdrew
tears freely from the eyes Of her
deeply-intercsted audience. Thayer's
Archibald Carlyle" was finished,
artistic and excellent. Edmonds, As
the insidious seducer, "Sir Francis
Levison," Miss Jennie Vaudeville,
as Barbara Hare" and Mrs. Ed
monds, as "Miss Corney, "all succeeded
admirably, and the balance Of the cast
was commercially given. OF the mer-
its Of the piece We have nothing to say,
rs its popularity and effect depends
principally upon certain affecting
scenes and irreconcilable incidents.
Nobody'S Daughter, another fine sensa-
tional drama, will be given tonight,
with Miss Price in the leading charac-
ter.
