NAN MURDERED AT WALLAPAI.-The
Phoebe Record of September 3rd gets the
following information from a private let
ter from r. II. Upton TO his brother
Joseph:
DAY before yesterday Jacob Dolan
killed a man named Hart. and the fol-
lowing day was acquitted on the ground
that he acted in self-dcfenc7. The
trouble is supposed TO have originated
about prostitute with whom both men
were intimate. The parties had been
drinking together over night, and on the
morning OF TIE homicide, they met in
Doian's saloon, after interchanging few
words Hart called Jake lying son of a
b-h. Dolan told him he must take
that back, when Hart pulled small four
shooter and shot at him, Dolan re-
turned the fire, and Hart shot again,
none of the shots taking effect. All this
time the parties were not eighteen inches
apart. Dolan now placed his six shooter
against the belly of Hart, just above the
navel, and fired, the ball passing COM
pletely through his body and coming out
to the left of the backbone. On receiv-
ing the shot Hart started as if to go out,
but on reaching the door turned and shot
once more at Dolan, but, IS before, with
out effect.

LAST WEDNESDAY, seems to have
been q somewhat extra occasion IN
Phoebe. 1t looks as if the dismal
few who pretend to the habit OF
sobriety were suddenly sucked into
the maelstorm of q big universal
drunk, o Forty-nine renaissance, an
orgie of the all-night sort. It was
the winding up of this unlimited
debauch which was emphasized by
the shooting Of John Manning by
Officer Mckee. As has been already
telegraphed, Manning died of his
wound in a few minutes. He and q
party of his friends had been run
ming all night. The report OF the
officer leaves the impression that the
deceased was . quarrelsome partisan
of the lately killed Morgan Court
ney. He accused Mckee of being
one of the clique who were respon-
sible for Courtney's death. Mckee
claims that Manning was in the act
Of drawing his pistol when he shot
him. It was, then, q mixture of bad
blood and . corresponding character
of whiskey that made Manning seek
this fatal quarrel. A lesser event of
the general spree was the mauling OF
one Lew Gates. His fellow carousers

TIE DEATH GRAppLE at Truckee is
fully described in an article in Sundays
Enterprise. Puget, a Frenchman, was
one of the fighters, and White an Ameri-
can. the other. We extract as follows
from the description:
There were several persons in the
ueichborhood. but no one who saw the
shooting could tell which man fired the
first shot. Puget is said to have come
down the alley leading from Chinatown,
when he was met by White, who was
passing along the sidewalk. Instantly
the shooting began. Puget placing him
self behind an awning post. at the corner
of the street and alley, and White stand
ing on the sidewalk. The firing is said
to have been very rapid; so rapid. indeed
that many who heard it were OF the opin-
ion that more than two men were en-
gagged in the shooting. The majority OF
those who were in the vicinity when the
shooting began ran away as fast as their
legs would carry them, but two or three
men, who sought shelter in iron door
ways of Brukhalter's store, stood their
ground and witnessed the whole battle.
of the sidewalk, rolled into o gutter
about eighteen inches in depth. Almost
the same instant Puget fell, seemingly
from the effect of Whites last shot, roll
ing into the same gutter In which White
was lying, and at no great distance from
him. Between the two men lay bun
die of gunny sacks, owing to the pres
enee of which they were unable to see
each other. Puget now began crawling
for White who lay in the gutter unable
to rise. He dragged himself along the
gutter until he reached the gunny sacks.
He climbed up on these until he could
see his mortal enemy, when he fired at
hin his two remaining shots. White
aroused himself and by great effort
raised his pistol and fired his last shot,
which rolled Fnget from his position on
the sacks and ended the bloody hight
When the firing ceased only groans were
20 be heard, the citizens rapidly collected
and soon a great crowd was on the
bloody battle field. The bleeding and
croaninc men were carried to where they
could be cared for. Puget, however.
needed but little care. as he was in dy-
ing condition when taken up, and lived
less than ten minutes. The shot which
proved fatal struck him in the left groin.
severing a large artery. He bled fright
fully, and. as we have said, lived but q
few minutes. He is supposed to have
received several other wounds, how
many our informant did not learn, as no
critical examination of the body was
made during his stay in the town. The
wounds of White were three in number
and of such a nature that they must
uroye fatal. He WAS alive when our in
formant left the town, but is probably
dead ere this. One shot passing through
his body, from side to side. just above
the hips: another entered his right breast
and ranging back lodged against his
spine; the third struck him in the lower
part of the abdomen. passing through
the bladder. white has since died.
