ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING. - The Reese
River Reveille of Tuesday relates the
following:
A sad accident through the careless
haddling of firearms, occurred at the
residence of S. Prisk. last evening,
whereby an estimabIe young man was
seriously, and in all probability MORALLY
wounded. From such information as
We can obtain, it appears that man
named John Rich was handling pistol
not thinking it was loaded, and Elijah
Cooking was examining piece of ore in
q cabinet across the room where Rich
was sitting, when the pistol suddenly
discharged, the ball lodging in Cocking's
abdomen, about three inches to the left
of the navel Drs. Scott and Huntsman
were immediately called to attend the
wounded man, but failed 10 find the ball,
and are Of the opinion that the wound
is necessarily mortal. Cooking WAS
Resin. easy this Afternoon, but there Is
Q very slight chance for his recovery, a
fact which we state regretfully, for 1t is
hard that young man in the prime OF
life and in vigorous health should be
cut down by such an accident as this.
The wounded man is well-known in
Austin as a singer at concerts and in
church choirs, aud an industrious.
gentlemanly young man. respected by
all who know him. He is q brother Of
the wife of S. Prisk Of the firm of
Woodruff l. Prisk, and his sister and
numerous circle Of friends are plunged
in grief over the calamity which has
befallen him.

MINISTER TO AUsTRIA.-The President
on Wednesday sent into the Senate the
nomination Of Edward F. Bea!e as Min
lister to Austria. Beale is On old Cali
fornian, and will be remembered by all
old residents Of that State. The tele-
graph furnishes this information of him {:
Beale, the nominee for the Austrian
Mission. resigned his lieutenancy in the
army and settled in California soon after
the American occupation. He was Su-
perintendent Of Indian Affairs. and sub
sequently for several years United States
Surveyor General for that State, and
while there personal friendship WAS es-
tablished between him and Grant, which
has continued ever since. After acquir-
ing large amount of property in Cali
fornia he returned, six years ago, to his
old home in Chester, Pennsylvania, from
which place he removed with his family
to this city in 1874. He was talked Of
for the appointment as one of the Com
missioners of the Distric: at the time the
Provisional Government was established
and during his residence in Washington
his name has been mentioned by rumor
in connection with several other Federal
appointments.
Mr.. Beale was removed from the In
dian Agency in California in 1854 by
President Pierce to make room for
Thomas J. Henley, who had proved
himself totally unfit to discharge the
duties of Postmaster of San Francisco.

CONCERNING BLAINE.

The Republican State Conventions in
Kansas, Nebraska, Illinois and Min
nesota, have elected Blaine delegates to
Cincinnati, and in Missouri he has a
majority of the delegation. These ac-
cessions to his strength place 1.-THE gen
tleman from Maine" within easy reach
of a majority of the National Conven-
ton, if indeed they do not secure him
the nomination. Even if Pennsylvania
after q complimentary vote to Har-
tranft-shall follow the lead of Donald
Cameron into tho Conkling camp, and
Ohio, after the same honor to Hayes,
shall cast her vote for Bristow, it will
still leave Blaine stronger than either OF
his rivals, and with reserved strength
among the followers of Morton from In
diana and the South, that none Of the
other prominent aspirants for the nom
ination can command.
1t may be that some other name than
that of James G. Blaine would command
more votes from the people-although
We are unable to think so-but it is Ger.
tain that Of all the men mentioned in
connection with the Presidential office.
none could fill it with greater ability, or
in our opinion-mee: all the require
men.s of the canvass with greater pro-
liabilities OF success. He has encountered
the mud shower, which his opponents
within and without the party have
hurled at his head, without receiving so
much as spatter on even the hem OF
his garments. He is statesman of e?
perience, boldn.ss and breadth. tie is
in the prime of life, and filled with those
vigorous. vital, magnetic juices, which
inspire enthusiasm among the people,
and bring to their fortunate possessor
possibilities of success not owned by
cold and crafty men. Al a managing
politician Mr.. Blaine has not his equal
to- day in the country in either party.
The campaisn--under his direction and
control-wou!d be better fought than
under any other leadership. He knows
every element Of strength and every eIe-
ment of weakness in the Republican
party, and could be trusted to combine
the first and defend the second with
every assurance of successful result. A
combat between Blaine and Tilden for
instance would be like a battle between
a Grecian athlete and an Egyptian num-
my, or a contest for speed between o.
cident and a Conestogs cart horse. He
would, in our opinion, make not only
the best possible President, but, what
seems of more consequence just at pres
ent, the best possible candidate for
President. So far as we can learn by
conversation with gentlemen from every
part of the State, he is the choice of the
Republican party of Nevada, and we
hope he will receive from first to last the
votes of their representatives at Gin

SHOOTING AT CAMP HALLEcK.-The
Elko Independent of May % contains
tho following.
By parties from Camp Ha!leck We
learn that discharged soldier named
Webster was shot and dangerously
wounded 10y John Able, at his place near
the Post on Sunday evening laat. The
particulars of the case, according to the
hest evidence we could obtain, are as
follows: Weber has been employed by
Able as farm hand for sometime past,
and like most old soldiers. has acquired
the habit of INDUCING to excess in strong
drink, and although quiet enough when
sober, is sometimes viclen. when under
the influence of liquor. Weber drank
freely during the day. at the grocery on
the place, and towards evening became
considerably intoxicated and demanded
of Able settlement for service rendered
on the ranch, to which Able replied that
he would in the morning. when he
Webber-got sober, but with the obstin-
acy usual under such circumstances
Weber vehemently insisted upon An
immediate settlement, and Athletic get rid
of his opportunities. left the grocery and
went over to the dwelling house; Weber
followed shortly afterwards. On his
arrival at the house, Able again avoided
him by leaving the house and going to his
stable; the ladies at the house in the
meantime endeavoring to get him to 60
to bed, but failed in their efforts. Weber
being determined to follow Able. AS he
started toward the stable, breathing
defiance, the women fearing difficulty
followed him and again attempted to re-
strain him by words. but without avail.
On approaching the stable and seeing
Able. impelled by drunken insanity,
Weber gathered Il club which lay in
his way, and advanced upon Able,
brandishing the club threatening him
with utter humiliation. He was re-
peatedly warned not to approach any
nearer, to which no attention was paid,
when Able drew pistol and fired. the
ball taking effect low down in the right
breast and passing clear through the
BODY. The wounded man was immed-
lately removed to Ablss house, where
surgical attendance was summoned. and
according to our informant. Weber is
likely to recover. Judge Taylor depar-
ted for the Post last evening to examine
into the matter, and We will probably
obtain full particulars to-day.
The Independent of Wednesday con-
tains the following:
Judge Taylor went up to Halleck on
eveningto hold an investigation
into the shooting OF Weber by John
Able, but when he arrived at the Station
be learned that the wounded man had
died Monday at ha!f-past / O'Clock p. N.
Officer Baugh went up to arrest Mr..
Able and the Judge came home.

A DEADLY FEUD.
Fight in Lassen County. Cal.-Three
Men Killed.

Fight In La.sen County. Cal.-Three
Men Killed.
The Reno Gazette Of Tuesday pub
fishes the annexed:
John Hoffman gives MS the following
particulars of fatal ARRAY which oc-
Cured near GAINESVILLE on Friday last.
The difficulty was occasioned by an old
dispute in regard to lard. It seems that
a German named Iced jumped piece
of land some years ago. and consulting
his lawyer was advised to hold and de-
fend it as his property. Iced lately
started the digging of ditch. and meet
ing with some opposition and threats de-
clsred his intention of completing it and
armed himself against interference. On
the day in question Mr.. Hayden and
son, together with two men by name OF
Bartlett and Powers, went out to where
Iced and q man named Fair were work
ing. When they came within fifty yards
Iced commanded them to stop. They
continued to advance and Iced fired
upon the party, wounding the elder Hay
den, who fell. Hayden then raised him
self up and said, why don't you finish
your work." Iced at once fired again,
killing Hayden instantly. Young Hay
den then ran up with his gun cooked
and fred at Iced, missing him. He
then dubbed his gun and struck the Ger
man, whereupon Fair shot the young
man four times, and finally knocked
him in the head with his pistol. Old
man Bartlett was the next victim. The
yictors knocked him down in the ditch
and beat him severely about the head,
inflicting injuries which resulted in
death last Saturday night. Fair and
Iced were taken into custody by the
Sheriff of Lassen county, and are in Jail
at Susanville, awaiting trial. No theory
can be formed as to the right or wrong
in this case. There are many conflict
ing assertions, and we give only bare
facts which all seem to admit.
