SHOOTING ScRAPE At EUREKA.
From the Sentinel OF Saturday.

lEAOGA kAS
At about 1 o'clock yesterday morn-
Ing. Pete Esterly's dancing hall on
Buel street was the scene Of = shooting
scrape. A man by the name Of Barrett,
a stranger In town, fired q shot ut Es-
terly. but missed his aim. johnson, a
coai-burner, received tho charge in
tho fleshy part Of the right shoulder.
The ball took effect about two inches
below the top Of the shoulder, and
passing entirely through, buried itself
In the wall. The circumstances In the
affair so far rs we have been enabled
to CLEAN particulars appear to have
been about "a follows: One Smith,
who was somewhat Intoxicated, be-
came b~olsterous and flourlshed q six
shooter, whcreupon he was elected
from the hall by Esterly, tho proprie-
tor. He soon returned. however, and
being still disposed to create u disturb
ance, Esterly again put him out,
striking him In the meantime over the
head with a slx-shooter. Up to this
time Barrett had remained q quiet spec
tator OH the opposite side Of the room,
but when Esterly struck Smith, who Is
supposed to have been his friend, he
Immediately drew his revolver and
fired, with the result already given.
The crowd then pitched upon Barrett,
and but for the timely arrival Of officer
Mooney, would doubtless have kicked
him to death. officer Mooney lodged
him In Jail where no remains awaiting
an examination, which will take place
as soon rs the nature of Johnson's
wound Is definitely understood. john
son was conveyed to the County Hos
pital.

REMARKABLE CASE IN SURGERY.

The Visalia Data Of May 23d relates
these particulars Of . singular case:
Our readers will remember an arti-
Gle which went the rounds In newspa-
pers nearly a year since concerning
the recovery OF a young lady whose
scalp had been completely torn of 6y
machinery, but which grew on again
after being wholly removed-a num-
Der Of physicians pronouncing 1t an
absurdlty even to try the experiment.
A still more striking case Is presented
In the recovery Of d. P. Macarter,
Wells, Fargo & Co.'s agent at Lone
Pine, whose scalp was taken OH 80 that
It hung like a hood over his face, when
turned over from the back part OF the
head, from which 1t was torn by the
falling ruins during the earthquake.
There was a circular cut leading from
near the left temple entirely around
to the right, leaving about six Inches
over the forehead which was not de-
tached. When the subject Of this
sketch was rescued from the ruins the
scalp was bloody and sprinkled with
dirt, aud particles Of ~pulverized adobe
covered that part Of the head from
which 1t had been removed. In this
condition the patient remained nine
hours before receiving surgical atten,
ton, and 1t was generally admitted
that there was no hope for his recovery!
DIR. Gslcich, OF Lone Pine, washed the
head and scalp to thoroughly cleanse
It from dirt, and placed the scalp In Its
former position, sewing 1t down. Tho
patient Is now nearly recovered, so far
as his head Is concerned, though still
suffering some from other severe bodily
injuries received at the same time.
These are facts within our own knowl-
edge, having seen the patient, who Is
we'll known by several OF our citizens.

THE STRAWBERRY CROP.

The San Jose Mercury Of May 9th
has the subjoined In this connection:
The strawberry business Of this val
ley Is now lear Its turning point. The
crop, owing to the late frosts and the
further fact that many Of the plants
died out last year for the lack Of water,
Is only about one.half what 1t was last
year, aud the consequence Is the ber-
rles bring a much better price. Our
daily shipments now amount to from
800 to 400 acknowledgement chests,
and the lowest price realized Is seven
cents. The average price thus far Is
about ten cents. Last year, In tho
hight Of the season. our daily ship
ments ran up to $50 chests, and tile
berries brought only from two and n
half to three cent? per pound. Thus
the producers will realize moro money
this year OIL half a crop than they did
last year OH their big yield, besides q
large saving In picking and marketing

The new Tariff bill under considera-
tlon by Congress Is INT Of considerable
Importance to the business interests Of
the country. The main feature Of the
bill Is a reduction Of the iron, wooden.
cotton, metallic, plate glass, paper,
India rubber, gutta percha, oil cloth
and straw goods duties to ninety per
cent. Of their present amounts. The
paper duty reduction Is subject to a
proviso that the duty on printing paper
shall DO equal to twenty por cent. ad
valorem. At present all duties are
payable In gold, but the bill provides
that oue-third may DO paid In legal
tender notes, which Is equivalent to a
further slight reduction In the rates.
The FREQ list Is also considerably en-
larged. The first day Of next July Is
the date fixed for the bill to 90 into
effect.

THE Pacific Submarine Exploring
Company Of New York, It Is stated, Is
about to employ the kind Of diving
bell so successfully used at He'll Gate,
for the collection Of gold sand of the
California coast. It IL we'll known
that at and of Gold Bluff, on the
northern shores Of California, tho sea
beach has extensive ranges Of golden
sands, which have been worked for
years and arc now producing no small
annual crop Of gold remarkable for Its
purity. The sand Is black and con-
tains tlsantiferous iron and visible par
ticles Of gold. There was a rush some
years ago to these new diggingA which
failed because they fell short Of extrav-
agant expectations. The gold was
there and provoklngly visible. But
the tide Vas great and the period Of
low water too short for working.
Then the wet sand had to be carted
over roads Of dry sand and up the cliffs,
and thence miles away to water for
washing out the gold in . crude way.
1t was found that the sands grew rich
er the further the breakers were pene-
tratcd, and liEs-boats that sounded In
six to ten fathoms beyond found the
sandy bottom still richer In gold OF re-
markable brightness. It seemed as II
the gold washed upon tho beach came
fiom these submarine banks, but it
"a deemed impracticable to realize
the riches covered by such a depth Of
moving waters. Now 1t Is believed
that this diving bell will place the
gold within the reach Of the searchers.
