and money, amounting to sixty three dollars and fifty cents, stolen from his pockets while lying on the floor from the effects of his wound.
 The parties believed to be guilty of the outrage are John Jones, Cal houn and James Rhodes. Suspic- ions against one other person are aaoat but in the excitement of such a diabolical attempt at murder ard robbery rumors will arise and we willingly give the party suspected the benefit of the doubt. At the time of receiving
 THE MURDEWOUS SHOT.
 Grinde.l was standing with his back towards a window and leaning forward over a bunk, in conversation with a man who was lying down. A pane of glass was broken from the window and the bullet from that point entered the body of the vic tim. Immediately after the shoot ing Calhoun entered the room with a revolver in his hand, and, ap- preaching Grindell, asked him how he felt. It subsequently appeared that Calhom's revolver was not and had not been loaded that even ing, he being unable to procure cart ridges, for which he had been mak- ing eager inquiry. About half an hour after the shooting John Jones presented Grindell's watch to a woman in Gillett, which her hus- band afterwards restored to the wounded man. JoAes was caught and made to disgorge Grindell's money and pocket knife, which were in his possession. It was also found upon investigation that Jones pistol, from knowledge of how it was loaded and the number of shots he had been known to discharge from it during the evening, was ex- actly in a condition to lead to the belief that he was the one who fired the shot at Grindell. His associ- ates in the matter are alleged to be the men previously named.
 TWO OLD OFFENDERS.
 The man Jones was one of the parties present at the killing of Clark by Randall, which took place at Jack Swilling's ranch, not far from Gillctt, last year. On that oc- casion Jones and a man named Car penter gave testimony that cleared Randall. Carpenter subsequently tried to get out new complaint, but Randall cleared out and the matter fell through. It is suspect cd that there is dark side to the Clark tragedy, and that Jones was implicated. The man Rhodes Is said to be the same party who is believed to have got away with the money of our late County Treasu- Ter Owens. He was his nurse, and it is believed by many parties here had hand in the Treasurer's sud den exit from life.
 THE MAN CALHOUN
 Is carpenter, and a comparative stranger in Gillett. Nothing of his previous character, whether good or very bad, is known. His asso- ciations in this matter are not good, however, and he has been upon two or three uSiy sprecs recently.
 THE WOUNDED MAN.
 Ed. Grindell is one of the old set tiers of Tip-Top mining camp. He halls from Ohio. At this writing he is suffering severely, expects death and has disposed of his earth ly effects. Dr, Sheets of Phoenix was called to his relief and arrived in about twenty-four hours after the shooting. He reports the bullet as having entered the body about one inch to the right of the spinal col umn, and in the intercostal space between the seventh and eighthr ribs, The place of exit of the bullet was about two and half or threeinches above and to the right of the right nipple.
