The CrRcus.-Last evening the great
Conklin Bros. Samwells, and Yankee
Robinson Circus performed to the
largest audience ever e in Gold
Hill, there being between twelve and
fifteen hundred persons present, not
withstanding the matinee in the
afternoon had also been fully at
tended. The entertainment was very
good, and we'll worth the price of ad-
mission. Besides the usual riding
and educated pony performances,
there were several novel features
introduced. The trapeze performance
of the Moresto Brothers was the most
daring imaginable, especially the act
where one Of the brothers, hanging
by his feet from the trapeze. held the
other by a string which each held In
his teeth. They must have substantial
teeth. or powerful jaws-or both. The
riding of Woody Cook was very good.
The performance Of the trained dogs
WAS wonderful, and no mistake, es-
pecially that clown dog. That canine
Is possessed of a vast amount Of quiet
wit and humor In his dog-matical way.
The monkeys, too, showed a goodly
degree of education in their gymnastic
operations. very creditable to them or
their teacher. Mile. Sanyea performed
most excellently on the trapeze, per-
pendicular rope, flying rings, etc., and
did some very fine riding. She Is q
marvel of female gymnasity. to say
nothing Of natural beauty. Indeed,
the best performers Of the whole COM
pany were those who have no note.
Pete Conklin Is a glorious clown,
far above the average, and his
humor is of n high order of merit.
The circus will be at Virginia today
and tomorrow, and then leave for
California.
CELESTIAL SHOOTING At CARSON
The Carson Appeal Of this morning
gives the following item: Last eren-
ing about half.past nine o'clock, II fear
full hullaballCo was heard down IN
Chinatown, and the sounds Of shots in
dictated something more serious than
mere Jaw" On repairing thither we
| found that d~electable settlement In a
tremendous uproar; aud coming upon
Sheriff Swift and night watchman
| Stern we finally managed to fluid out
what the trouble vas about. 1t seems
that q certain young Chinaman, whose
name we tried in vain to learn, a
deliberately shot at and severely woun-
ded one OF his countrywomen while
she was walking from the house where
she was living. We saw the man who
was accused OF this shooting. and were
present when the Sheriff took from him
4 small revolving pistol. Afterwards,
directed by the Sheriff, We went to
where the woman was lying and saw
her wound, which Is Immediately un-
der the right collar-bone. She was
breathing very heavily and seemed IN
much distress. We should think her
chances of recovery u little dubious.
What this shooting was for or any
other satisfactory particulars, we're
facts as difficult Of getting from that
crowd of frantic Cinnamon as If Chi
natown were Bedlam itself. Sheriff
Swift arrested three or four accused
parties. and when we LEFT was pros
pecting a cellar for another one. The
Justice Court will probably Sift the
kinks out Of the matter to-day.
NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH
The Carson Register OF this morning
relates the following: a man whose
name we were unable to learn, while
walking along the Virginia and
Truckee Railroad track, n mile west
Of Empire, was thrown from the track
by the ~cow.catcher Of the locomotive
attached to the first train leaving this
city yesterday morning for Virginia.
It Is evident that the man was not seen
by those on the train, or he certainly
would have been taken on board after
the accident. Those OH board Of the s
o'clock Virginia train discovered him
living neal the road aud took him OH
the train to Empire and left him at the
depot. His statements are so conflict
ing that It Is impossible to arrive ut
anything like a correct version OF the
occurrence. Whether he was walking
or lying asleep on the track ut the
time of being thrown of, for the pres
ent Is q mystery. He a brother to
Mrs. Ambrose, of Empire City. DR..
Waters of this city, was sent for to eE.
anime the man and render the medical
aid required. There are several ugly
gashes' OH his face and a slight inward
injury about the stomach, but the Doc
! tor thinks not Of 3 serious nature.
