band, whipping out his pistol and firing
straight at his employers head. The
shot was not a bad one, for though Jerry
dropped upon his knees and flung bis
hand up to his head, the ball passed be-
tween his little finger and the cheek bone,
just clearly skinning each. Instantly
the little Greek threw over table for
barricade, and Goodband bolted to Gold
Hill, where shortly afterwards an officer
set out in search of him. A bullet hole
in the wall behind the counter of the res

The San Francisco Stock Exchange, Of
January 5th. referring to the strong
market, says: "They say the Virginia
City operators are all short on the
market, having been astonisbed that
there should be q market in San Fran

will be one unbroken mass of ore from
Ophir to Chollar. They've got it now

The thumb of his left hand was also lost

carelessness and negligence in having
employed incompetent workmen to re.

work; also, in having an uncovered cage,
for had the cage been supplied with the
customary cover the accident could moi
have happened. Lindsay & Dickson
are the attorneys for plaintiff.
