Fuerr1vE MURDERER BROUGHT BACK.

morning, we get an account OF the con-
vict's travels and actions in trying to
make good his escape. Leaving &C.
noa he proceeded to Lake Valley by
the Kingsbury grade. He bought a
mustang and saddle from McCawber
"a ranchman In the Valley for $40. on
which he rode to the enyirons OF Pla-
cerville. Thence he made his way TO
n point below Stockton, where he sold
his horse and took q train for San jose.
He stopped here a day lodging around
in the town, and then took the train
for Gilroy, where he remained four
days engaged mostly In poker playing.
Pierce Is q master In this game, aud
succeeded In winning over 800 at 1t.
From Gilroy he returned to San Jose,
and took the train at the latter place.
Shortly after getting on board he was
recognized by a lady whose husband
keeps q saloon in Virginia her name
We suppress, not being authorized to
publish It. He talked with this lady
who informed on him to q gentleman
friend who in turn told Mr.. Dyer (tle
| old time stager that 10Y has q livery
stable In Gilroy and m In Salinas).
Mr.. Dyer telegraphed to the officers at
Salinas that Pierce was coming ; SO
that when he arrived he was immedi-
ately arrested by Sheriff WATSON and
imprisoned. Sheriff Swift says that
the Sheriff aud county officers of Mon
terey showed him the utmost courtesy
and %politenes,. He brings home with
him the ~pleasantest recollections OF
the attentions Of these gentlemen, to
meet the like Of whom always, he
says, would make him a perfectly
happy man. These officers held the
prisoner In spite of vigorous efforts Of
his attorney to release him on various
pretexts. II the official dispatch from
Governor Bradley had not come In good
season, they and the citizens were go
ing to keep him under any circum-
stances until called for. They have
had so much OF fellows similar to Pierce
in their own county, that they are de-
termined to put up with no more OF the
stripe.
A SAD AFFArR.-Tbe Enterprise Of
this morning gives the following: Last
evening about 1880 O'Clock, n colored
man named Basil O'Neil was shot In
the face by Captain Kelly, the new
local reporter Of the Chronicle.
O'Neil was standing in front Of Mas
& Co.'S furniture store, nearly oppo-
site the Enterprise Office, when Kelly
approached him and asked him Ii he
would make good q small looking
glass which he (O'NeiD had broken
some time ago III carrying a load
Of furniture from Currie's auction
store to kelly's house on G street. The
colored man refused TO be made re-
sponsible for the glass, and high words
followed. Finally they grappled, aud
Kelly, taking out his six-shooter, dealt
0'Neill a terrible blow with 1t In the
face, discharging his pistol at the same
time. The ball, after passing through
O'Neill's cheek under his right eye.
went through the window Of Mas &
Co.'S furniture store and lodged In a
POLL OF carpeting. The colored man
was taken to his homo on G street, and
DR.. White was called In to attend him.
The Enterprise pitches into Kelly
pretty severely, denouncing him for
this outrageous assault In unmeasured
terms. The colored:: man formerly
resided In Gold Hill, and was always
considered an ~inoffensive, harmless
cripple. We cannot imagine any pro-
vocation which he could have offered,
justifying Kelly in such an assault.
are anxious Z hear or read kelly's
Of this bad affair.
