Yesterdays Shooting ARRAY "A
Desperate PrOvOkes n Fight,
Gets Wounded, and shows the
white Feather.
Yesterday, about noon, the rapid
discharge of pistol shots and the rush
ing of a crowd of men to the vicinity
of Main and Clark streets, caused a
general excitement. All sorts of ru-
mors prevailed, and every one seemed
eager to see who had been served up
tor breakfast, but a bad display Of
craftsmanship prevented such a term
ination to yesterdays shooting affray.
A poker game had been in progress
during the preceding night, lasting
until late yesterday morning. During
the play a misunderstanding arose. A
man named William Porterfield dis
puted the ''draw," and attempted to
corral the money on tie table. The
other players objected, and secured the
coin, and the game was broken up. A
short time afterward Porterfield ac-
costed William Bell and John Enright,
at the Congress saloon, and va tied to
fight daring them to come ont in the
street and settle the matter at ten PAGES.
Constable Kelly interviewed and dis
uaded Porterfield from such "A purpose,
and it was thought thai the misunder-
standing was settled. Not so, how
ever. Bell and Enright went to break
fast, at the Sazerac, and on returning
saw Porterield on the orner of Main
and Clark streets. The moment he
was espied by them he renewed his
former threats and wanted to fight,
iiourished "a pistol and did all lie could
to provoke a quarrel, using the most
abusive language toward the men. The
attitude he assumed and the repeated
threats he INDUCED in, caused the ball
to open. -Four or ii i've shots were fired,
resulting in Porterlield's being struck
in both arm =. At The first shot he dis
played the utmost cowardice and ran
like : scared wolf into ManheiIn's Jew
elry store, pistol in hand, but without
the courage to use it. One shot was
fired at him through the window of
the store. The lall penetrated tie
glass of the show case and lodged in
u gold watch in the case. Bell and
Enright were arrested, disarmed and
taken to Jail, and Porteriield taken to
the office of DR.. Chamblin, where his
wounds were dressed, neither of which
did much injury. Bell and Enright
we're afterwards released on 81 900
bail, to await an examination to take
place on Tuesday next. Their bonds

a severe wound received in a shooting
scrape at Truckee some weeks since.
Porterfield is represented as being a
very abusive man.

BoN-BoN. The bon-bon party at
Bigelow's Hall, last evening, was one
OF the most pleasurable gatherings
that has e marked the terpsichorean
history of the Base Range. The COM
pany was select, and there was Just a
sufficient number present to make
things lively without the Inconvenience
and discomfort incident to a crowd.
The ladies' of the Reading Circle, who
had charge of the affair, deserve great
credit for the completeness of the ar
rangements, and their efforts to insure
to their guests a pleasant evenings en-
