Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1875-10-19

i'm being a resident of Eureka the case
possesses a local interest. Says the
tribune:
Last evening a Tribune reporter in
tervIewed AL. Hardness, the driver of
the stage fired upon by the Perasich
brothers, and gained full particulars of
the affair OF Wednesday morning.
Previous to hitching up Hardness
learned that Ashim would take pas
sage with him, and also had intima-
lions that
The Perasich Brothers
Were OH the lookout for the slayer of
their brother. After receiving the
mail, Hardness drove up in front of
the Ormsby House, where he found
the brothers in waiting, and just then
n stranger walked up 10 the stage with
a shotgun in hand. This man Hark-
ness took TO be Ashim, and at once
thoughtthe game" would commence,
but the Perasichs paid no attention t o
the man in question and started up the
road. The ma with the shotgun in
CURED of Hardness which road he in
tended to take, and was informed the
upper road. He then told the driver
he won q meet him and get aboard.
1t appears that Ashim had gone up
the road early in the morning aud Sc.
Guided himself in a ditch, there TO
await the coming OF the stage, and the
man with the shotgun was a friend of
his. While Ashim was laying in the
ditch, the Perasich brothers passed
within a few yards Of
where he WAS Secrefed.
And they inquired of a boy who hap
peDed to be coming up the road if he
had seen anything of h mar there
abouls. The boy replied negatively,
and the brothers wendell their way up
the road, and secreted themselves in
the constalks above Gardeners ranch.
Our readers may well imagine the ieel-
ings of poor Ashim when the seekers
of his life were in such close proXim-
ity to his person.
After some delay in gathering pas
sengers. baggage, etc, darkness start
ed on his Journey. Still thinking that
the man with the shotgun was Ashim
and that he had taken the upper road
as directed, Hardness took the lower
road, in order TO avoid him, as he did
not want any shooting scrape in his'n,
but when he arrived near Gardeners

They were taken on board. The stage
had not proceeded n hundred yards
when Ella Perasich made his appear
ance in the road,
Pistol fn Hand.
He demanded the stoppage of the
stage, at tue same time firing off his
gun. Considering that his life and
those of his passengers were in danger,
Hardness drove on with all possible
speed. Shooting became general, all
the brothers turning loose at the fly
ing stage, but luckily the deadly mis-
siles went wide oi their mark aud 10
body was injured. A passenger on
the stage says at least ten shots were
fired, and that Ashim fired once or
twice at his foes from the coach.
The Case in tOurt.
This morning, continues the Tribune,
Ella P9rasieh appeared in the Justice
Court with his attorney, Gen. r. NJ.
Clark. On motion of District Attorney
Patterson, the complaint on which
Ella was arrested was dismissed, and
two complaints entered-one against
the said Ella. and another against
George Pera>ich. charging each of them
with intent to Kill Al. Hardness and
AShim. The examination was contin-
ued until Tue day next and defendants
placed under $4,000 bonds each.
Comments oi ..ChronicIe.'
The Virginia Eoeniag Chronicle,
commenting OF the case, says: The
Carson Justice of the Peace who re
leased the Perasich brothers on $1,000
bail must be a man of rare discern
ment. Ills capacity for measuring the
degree of guilt OF persons brought be-
fore him is extraordinary, and mn~t
give the people of Carson a feeling of
safety in their beds. These Perasich
men, in their Infatuated pursuit of
Ashim, who had siain their brother
in a quarrel some months before, We're
utterly reckless of the safety of people
who had nothing to do with their fam
lily affection.
They Fired T-haEard
Into a stage coach filled with men and
women, any n of whom stood as
great "A chance OF getting hit as Ashim.
This, we take it, is a greater crime han
il they had caught Ashim by himself
and comfortably killed him. The law
can take no cognlzance of the wrongs,
real or imaginary, which moved the
peraSich men To murderous wrath,
though the Carson Justice of the
Peace evidently did. Whatever his
private sympathy forthe brothers may
lie, he had no right to let it weigh III
considering
The EnOrmiiy of Crime.
Innocent lives we're put in peril by the
Perasich brothers, and their bail should
have been fixed at such a figure as to
insure their appearance in the courts,
where (if they do not take flight 1t is
to be hoped they may receive a lesson
which will in future >e them to do
their shooting in a less dangerously
