Last evening about 6 o'clock James

creating general disturbance on
Main street. was arrested BY officers Nc
Kee and Kelly. After being admonished
to behave himself, which he promised
to do. he got into his wagon and. from
what We could learn from general talk.
he turned TO Mckee and Kelly and called
them sons of BIS. telling them he was
going 10 get his gun and como after
them. with which he drove off hastily.
Officers Mckee and Kelly followed down
the street with the intention of arresting
him. Officer Kelly approached the
house on the side toward Lacour street.
and officer Mckee went short distance
around on the other side OF the fence.
Immediately on their nearing the fence
Bass opened fire on them, firing two
shots before either Of them bad the
slightest idea ihnt he would resist an
arrest Officer Kelly Immediately jumped
behind a wagon and commenced to fire.
as did Mckee. Bass keeping mp snap
ping Of his pistol, which. after firing
five shots. the last one failed to go. Bass
WAS struck twice. once over the LETT nip
pie and once in the belly. He died about
fifteen minutes after the occurrence. In
bis attemp. TO shoot Mckee he grazed
the side Of the house, the hall passing
alongside OF Mckee. II it he'd not heen
for the wagon intervening. Officer Kelly
would certainly have been hit. We have
taken particular pains 10 inquire into this

The Independent ticket in California
is doomed institution. We had some
hope of it's snccess until the San Fran
cisco Chronicle came out for it, but now
We weaken. The faint praise of that
lively print is enough to damn it beyond
resurrection. We regret this on Bid
Wells account. John Bidwell. backed
up by his %. 600 acres of land. all in a
body. makes such splendid headlight,
Hon know. for a great reform anti
mon"poly ticket. Then. again, it is SO
beautifully consistent for a man of Bid
wells acres to mount that plank in the

sorry that the Chronicle has determined
to defeat this self sacrificing patriot
