umn. Flynn fell, and, and he says
that while on the ground LaPoint
again approached him. with revolver
drawn. but some bystander pre-
vented him from shooting. FLYNN
was taken to DIR. Bishops office,
where with the assistance of Drs.
johnson and Dawson efforts were
made to find and extract the ball.
Shortly afterward he was removed
to room at Jas Chambers, where
DIR. Bishop again pursued the in
vestigation. From him we learn
that the wound is not fatal, and
that unless the ball has lodged in
the cavity of the pelvis, and disar-
ranged the bladder or bowels, Flynn
will be able to be on the street in
day or two. Thus we have
another chapter in the troubles be-
tween these two men. There is no
doubt that LaPoint had murder in
his heart last night. He had re-
ceived word that Flynn had been
pardoned, and he lay in wait to
murder him in cold blood. La
Point was arrested and lodged in

Virginia City is happy over tum-
BILE in rents in that town of over so
per cent. Houses which have been
renting for 500 per month, without
water, now go a begging at $50, water
paid. Stores which formerly rented
for $3.50, now stand empty at $3.50.
Whether this means that Virginia 5
prosperity is on the decline, or wheth-
er it is that house building has been
carried on too extensively for the
needs of the place, we do not know.
--[Stock Exchange.
1t is self-evident that decline in
rents implies decline in real estate
values. This is the case with Vir-
ginia. Whether it was induced by
over building is not an important
question, but over building would
certainly induce it. Virginia, We I'M
agine, is now experiencing reaction
consequent upon the great action of
two years ago, just as the stock mar.
ket is. These things are natural, but
are not necessarily permanent.

to deceive or bride ten stockholders,

proper to say that his acquaintance

been pleasant, and he will remember
both with feelings unmingled with
regrets. Personal interest directs
him to labor in another field, and it
is not without reluctance that
he departs from scenes made familiar

be due to certain esteemed contem-

debate, disagreement and coutrover-
