OF the saloon, the particulars OF WHICH,
as given to US, are as follows: Mr..
Pierce, in passing the house on his
way home, noticed a number of per-
sons in the bar room, and an unsual
noise being made by the inmates,
which attracted his attention. Shortly
after entering the room, the keeper of
the house and one of the crowd pres
ent calne to bitter words and a collision
appeared about to take place, when
Mr.. Pierce interfered to prevent fur
Their trouble. The b~arkeeper, after a
few words passed, drew a pistol and
fired at Pierce, which was returned by
the latter-each one firing three shots.
One of the shots took effect, entering
the barkeeper's left arm, just below
the elbow. DR.. A. MarrOtte was called
and extracted the ball. Mr.. Pierre
surrendered himself to the officers of
the law, and in consequence OF the
wounded man being unable to appear
in Court, an examination was waived
for the present.
THE GAS WORKSHOP much praise
cannot be given to Z. c. Headrick,
agent for the Maxim Gas Company in
Carson City, for his perseverance in
bringing the gas works to a successful
issue. He has displayed a great deal
of energy and business talent i'll this
| enterprise. The citizens of this city
will remember that many attempts
had been made by several parties TO
introiuce this much needed light into
the principal places of business, but
failed for want of perseverance, and
they were compelled to give up the
idea as lost forever. And Mr. Head
rick, Notwithstanding the opposition
which tried to discourage him from
bringing this enterprise to a success
ful end, managed, by argument and
otherwise, to convince the citiZenS of
Carson to adopt the plan of the Maxim
Gas Company, and by these means
CON pleted his arduous task, and we
are now favored with a much cheaper
and better tight than any used here
tofore. We congratulate the agent of
the company in the successful result
of his mission.
