TFrom the ny Record, june 0th.l

From the by Record, june oth.1
Yesterday afternoon. between 5 and
8 O'Clock. an ARRAY took place between
James Sullivan and Morgan Courtney,
which resulted In the almost Instant
death Of the former from q pistol shot
fired by the latter. The particulars
which we have been able TO CLEAN we
append rs they werc. received from
eye-witnesses only; In no case DO we
repeat hearsay statements. It appears
that Courtney. and . party Of friends
had been playing seven-up for drinks
In the back room Of Clancey's saloon:
had finished their game, and ordered
their drinks brought In, when one Of
the party suggested going to the bar 10
get their drinks. As they were passing
up to the bar, Sullivan, who was stand:
Ing In front Of It with two friends and
IN the act OF drinking, asked Courtney
to drink with themi Courtney de-
clined, saying they had ordered theirs;
Sullivan then said to Courtney that he
s.did not ask him to drink" where
upon the latter said, "Yes, you did,"
when Sullivan again denied the same;
Courtney then said, We'll, that is
enouph;n or words to that effect, and
stepped up TO the bar, took bis drink
and Immediately went out Of the sa-
loon Into the street. The rest OF the
party took their drinks, and . con-
v~ersation ensued which lasted five or
ten minutes, when Sullivan went to
the door, where he found Courtney.
The latter's story now comes In. he
siys Sullivan approached him and pro-
posed to give or sell HIM an interest In
tho American Flag mine, or something
to that effect, which he declined to
have anything to do with. w%hereupon
Sullivan made a motion rs II to draw
4 knife from the left side with his right
hand, ut the same time saying: "You
id s-n ola b-h, I'll kill you yet"
Courtney sided off from him two or
three steps, drew \ pistol and said:
"Take that back, or I'll kill you," to
which Sullivan replied that he "world
take nothing back" Courtney, who
had by this time separated from Ills
adversary twenty-five or thirty feet,
leveTed and fired. A sudden tremor,
aud Sullivan sank 10 the ground. After
a few seconds he was conveyed into
the drug store Of Jesse Beene, and
physicians, soon at hand, examined his
wound, which was In the left breast
the ball evidently passing through che
heart. On examining the body a
small-slzed bowie knife was found still
In the sheath. He lived but two or
three minutes. His body was after
ward removed to the Court House.
where a post mortem examination will
be held to-day. Courtney was arrested
by Justice Knight, who happened near
by, and was conducted to the jail and
turned over to Under Sheriff Pattie.
and was by him placed In a cell. Con.
siderable excitement and feeling man
Tested itself upon the street after the
shooting became known, and was kept
up till 4 late hour. The funeral Of
Mr.. Sullivan will take place from the
Court House this afternoon. Deceased
was a native of Ireland, aged about
twenty-seven years, and unmarried.
Courtney's examination will take place
on Monday.

proved hardy, and last season bore number OF
oranges that matured and ripened into splendid
fruit during the last Winter. We have seen no
healthier or more perfect orange in tho market
than this one. The tree stands on high ex-
posed ridge, fully 1900 feet above the Sacramento
valley, and for dozen years has wthstood what
ever of Winter or drouth We have here, and has
now matured and ripened first quality fruit in
the worst Of our Winter weather. We confess
some surprise aud much qualification at this fact.
1t teaches us of these foothills that we have not
and do not know the varied productive capacities
OF the climate and soil we enjoy. The tree is
now just in bloom at q time when all possibility
of frost is over which teaches that orange culture
here can be safely engaged in without danger
from frosts, There ore many young orange
trees here. and this one has taught their owners
that they may soon look for fruit We ask our
farmers and orchardsts TO note this item and
profit by its teachings, 1t will not be many
years till these beautiful hills and valleys, this
most healthful pleasant, seasonable and Pro-
ductive of all Caforpias best sections will boast
