CELESTIAL CoMBAT.-Last night war
was declared among the Monaghan pop
NATION of Phoebe, and for q tina ragged
IN dead earnest. Not less than ten or
twelve shots were fired, though We could
only find one wounded, and that was q
uretehed woman. The locality of the
oAray was on Lower Main street. and the
bouso of a Chinese doctor seemed to be
the center of attack. Here shots flew
thick and fast, but apparently only took
effect in the woman before named. Off
GERS Mckee and Knerr, with Deputy
Sheriff Hoag were quickly on the ground,

of the Fowery Land. If they are not
equal to any emergency in the way of
noise. then we do mot know what noise
is. After some little quiet had been
restored, the officers made some Inquiry
but of the heather Chinee, those that
could understand Melikan man would
not say anything, and those that did not
couldn't So after warning the whole
tribe to keep the peace, the officers left
them, but kept a watch on the belliger-
ents for some time. The woman who
was shot appeared to take the matter
very unconcernedly. She WAS shot
through both legs. The wounds did not
appear to have broken the bones or sew
cred any important vein or artery. We
understand that like most Caucasian
rows, this Celestial fuss had woman at
the bottom Of it, and that she was the
one that was wounded. Whether this
was poetic justice we are not aware, but
it was apparently in accordance with the
notions of the natives ,of the Flowery
Land.
DIDN'T CovER THE CASE. = Yesterday
morning, as a wagon belonging to one OF
the grocery houses of the town was as.

Valley street, the tail-board became

CRAzY.-On Saturday information was
given to Constable Gray, officers Mckee
and Knerr, that crazy man had been
seen in the sagebrush near the Highland
road stripped perfectly naked. The Off
GERS went in search of the man, and
after hunting some time found some
clothes, and soon after. the man almost
naked, lying slowed away among the
sagebrush. They brought him into
town and placed him in Jail. The Off
GERS are entitled to credit for hunting
up the poor man SO quickly, for in his
exposed condition he would certainly
soon have persisted. After the man had
been in Jail for "a hours he became ra-
tIonal, and it was found that he had
been drinking to excess and was suffer
ing from temporary delirium. He was
discharged Yesterday morning apparent

ALMOST UPSET, Yesterday, while a
man was driving buggy and team down
Meadow Valley street, he ran the buggy
up so high on the bank near Cedar
street that it came near upsetting, and
would have done so had it not been for
.ne assistance of the by-standers. The
nan was found to be very drunk, and
