BLOODY WORK.
Six-ShoOter victims-Two Killed
and One Wounded.

tProm the Inyo Independent, 221d.j
AT a Mexican saloon in Lone Pine,
run by Francisco Dabeeney, there was
on the night Of the 18th, a crusade
opened in which a young man named
George p. Eames and a Mexican
known as "Poncho"-Francisco Lugo
met with almost instant death. In
the melee, during which some twelve
or fifteen shots vera fired. John AL
lison received a bullet in the back f.,
making a very serious wound, but
from which he is likely to finally re-
cover.
Little "a be learned of the actual
animus of the affair; the testimony
recorded by the acting Coroner, now
on file in the Clerks office. is a mass
OF disconnected trash not calculated to
prove anything more than the actual
fact that the men were killed by some
body. But II is generally understood
that Eames and Allison went to the
place "heeled," and probably expect
ed to enact a little bull doing; young
Eames had before incurred the enmity
of some of the Mexicans on account of
bis actions toward one of the woinen OF
the place, and that there vas consider
able bad blood all around, or 1t least
on the part Of the Mexicans.
We quote the deposition of Allison
as being the nearest to a description of
the affair of anything else in the testi-
inony, as follows:
John Allison, aged 30 years, resides
in Lone Pine, Inyo county. California.
Opposes and says that on the night of
the 18th OF September, 1877, in the said
town of Lone Pine, he was in the sal
Don belonging to Frank DabeeDey.
That they were there fooling, being all
drunk; he, deponent, was fooling with
Frank Dabeeney; Poncho ran up and
grabbed me and threw his hands be-
hind his back and jerked after some
thing; l pulled my gun at the same
time he got his out; Poncho cooked
his six shooter and fired the first shot;
don't know whether he hit anybody
or not; all were firing, myself, Poncho
and Others; don't know who all.
Next thing / knew everybody was
running, and | felt a shot strike me in
the back; Poncho was in front Of me-;
| fell TO the floor; don't know who
shot me; looked around and saw
Frank Dabeeney running and putting
a pistol in his pants; did not see Da-
beeney fire at all; do not know who
killed Poncho; do not know who
killed George Eames.

Arrested fo~r'stase Robbery.

two men on suspicion of being con-
nected with the recent stage robbery

in Jail for the present. Their names

Cattle edness.

For some days there has been quite
a commotion among the butchers and
cattle men in this neighborhood. 1t
came about in this way: Eight fresh
hides were found in an old we'll at the
north end of town. The suspicious
circumstance naturally led to an ex.
animation of brands, etc. Four OF the
hides contained the brand of the we'll.
known dairymeD, Ford d Hathaway;
two were shown to have been taken
from cattle belonging to Fred Barnes;
another was branded with q horse
shoe, owner unknown; and still an
other had the hip cut away. entirely
celebrating the brand. 1t is certain
crookedness exists or the part Of some
body, but we believe no clue has been
obtained to the guilty parties.

DEADwooD, ID. T., Sept. 5.
W. have plenty OF excitement in
Deadwood, as a general thing, but a
week or two ago we were treated to a
sensation hitherto unknown In our ex-
perience. Before we were out of bed
or perhaps should say a~wake-for a
number of our citizens spend their
nights as well as their days on the
sidewalk messengers galloped into
town with the startling announcement
that Gayville was in flames. 1 ought
to explain that about three miles above
Deadwood another town exists, or
rather a trinity of towns, consisting of
one long street. The beginning of this
street is called Gsyville, the middle
South Bend, and the end Central City.
Each hopes In time to rival Dead wood,
and is big with its own importance,
but Gayville, consisting of over a hun.
dred buildings-Gayville's pretentions
seemed at an end; Gayville was being
destroyed by fire. We, in Deadwood,

against Con Reilly and j. Pershbacker,
for the sum of sci 900 damages, alleg-

worked so as to net daily from 5000

that defendants agreed to sell the prop
erty to plaintiffs for $4,000. plaintiffs
sold the property to other parties for

the sale they claim to have discovered
that defendants representations were
untrue; that none of the mines were

Gated by another party. By reason of
this alleged state of facts, plaintiffs
