and that he must be the man. he
had no knowledge of the matter, not
having received official notification,

office-seekers. Mr.. Crawford is held

UNDERGROUND sFIGHT.-On Sat
urday evening, about 4 O'Clock, an
alteration arose between two miners
working in Walters Defeat mine,
which came near proving fatal to
one of the combatants. The two
men, named +. Machandy and
suplien Dault, were engaged in
drilling a hole preparatory to put
ting in blast; Machandy was stzik-
ing and Dsult holding the drill.
NJ. made some remarks which d.
took exception to; after some words
had passed between them, NJ. struck
at Dault with full force with the
striking hammer or sledge; Dault
threw up his arm and warded oi
Inc blow, thus saving his life, as the
hammer just glanced his temple,
WITH sufficient force, however, to
Knock him sehseless. Machandy
inen kicked. him in the head, until
some OF the miners came to the
rescue, when he left the mine and
made his escape. The last heard OF
nun he was en- route TO california.
Dault, though seriously injured, is
III lair way of recovery.

LECTURE LAST NIaHT.-Armory

LECTURE LAST NIaHT.-Armory
Hall was densely crowded last even
ing, many ladies being present, and
hundreds of people were compelled
to go away. not being able to gain
entrance, the occasion being the lee
ture of Mr.. Sutro on Mines and
Mining, introducing panorama
lighted with the Calcium lights.
The lecture was listened to with
marked attention, only being inter-
rupted by the outbursts of applause
which some of his hits brought
forth. Owing to mismanagement,
the lights did not work as well as
usual, consequently all the views
were not given, neither did Mr..
Sutro have an opportunity to deliver
his full lecture, but he has promised
the citizens to return and give ano-
ther lecture before the election. To-
night he lectures at Gold Hill, and
we bes peak for him large audience.
On Wednesday evening he will ap-
pear at Dayton, and Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday at Virginia City.
Go and hear him, is our advice to
all readers.

CRAZY DRUNK. On Saturday
evening Thomas Hoar came totown,
and soon became boisterous and
threatening in his demeanor. He
entered several places on Main
street, and ordered them to close up,
and made some very serious threats
against some citizens whom he hap
pened to meet. About IL o'clock he
came across Constable Spaulding,
who tried to get him to go to bed
In place of taking this good advice
, he turned upon the officer in man.
nsr not according to statute made
and provided. On the officer at
, tempting to arrest him he resisted,
and made motions to draw a pistol,
when Mr.. Spaulding settled kim in
short, order. by a well-directed blow
with. his little pistol, which came in
, contact with Hoar's head, intlicting
severe scalp wound. DR.. Harris
was called in, who sewed up the
wound, and the patient remained
quiet the remapsder of the night.
At IL o'clock on Sunday morning
he was taken before Justice Gould,
and fined in the sum of $50, fol
. costs of suit and doctors fee. On
Sunday morning he was charging
{. around again, when he was kindly
cared for by Special n i&htwatchman
Miller, who locked him up until
morning, when he was turned loose
We would gentl y,remiud Mr.. Hoar
that If he should come before Justice
Gould again he is liable to have a
more severe fine imposed than was
the case on Sunday. Save your
money, old man, and drink less
COW boys delight.
