The Shooting OF Nevada "Teams."
From the Virginia City Enterprise.l

From the Virginia City Enterprise.l
Recently, at a saloon on the Divide,
some men were discussing the shooting
ARRAY which occurred during the morn
ing between two brothers-in-law, Full
man and Ward. 1t was agreed on all
hands that it was shocking bad shooting
"a discredit to Washoe At least a
Phoebe man bantered the Comstock
man, whom he knew to be a good shot
with pistol, to 90 out into the backyard
with him and do some shooting, just to
show the boys how it should be done. In
the saloon was box of eggs, and what
the Phoebe proposedlsw that each
shoot two eggs off the bare head of the
other at the distance of ten PAGES, the
one missing to treat the crowd. The
Comstocker was bound not to be bluffed
by man from the other end of the
State, so to the back yard all hands ad.
journed. Each man used his own six.
shooter. The Comstocker first "busted"
his egg on the top of Piocher's head,
which exploit was loudly applanded by
all present. 1t was then the Piocher's
turn to shoot, and an egg was produced
to be placed on the head of the Com
stocker, but when he removed his hat
there was a great laugh, for the top of
his head was as smooth as a billiard ball.
For full ten minutes all hands tried in
vain to make an egg stand OH his head.
1t couldn't be done. The Piiocher then
taunted the Comstocker with having gone
into the arrangement knowing that he
was safe. The latter told him to set up
his egg and he was all right
he was there. The Piocher went
into the saloon, and moment after
came out with a small handful of
-four, which he dabbed upon the bald
head of the Comstocker and then tri-
umphantly planted in it his egg fell
back ten steps and then knocked it off
The Comstocker then told him to put up
his second egg and shoot at it, as he
didn't want to have his head chalked
twice during the game. This was done,
and the wreck of second egg streamed
over the Comstocker' pate. The Piocher
now stood out with his last egg on his
head. The Comstocker raised his pistol
and fred. The Piocher bounded yard
into the air and the egg bounced whole
from his head. i've losti" said the
Comstocker. Let all come up and
drink. By slip I've put halt the width
of my bullet through the top of his lett
earl" and so it proved upon measure.
