"A SHOOTER ~ ROM Otter CREEh - is
terday evening about o'clock a man named
Davis, recently from Bodie, where he ha(
been employed in the Bechtel mine, entered
Brule's saloon in the Muller House and in
vited all hands up to drink. This invitation
as is usually the case, was accepted with al
astonishing promptitude. He repeated hi
| invitation several times, and after becoming
| pretty familiar with his guests, he drew a re-
volver, fourished it around in the air severa
times and then fired bullet into the lower
portion of one of the front doors.
The report of Davis weapon naturally drew
a large crowd of people to Brules saloon,
who expected to see another victim weltering
in his gore. They were, however, happily
disappointed The shooter was then elected
from the scene of his revelry without much
ado. He then sauntered down town in the
direction of Fourth street, where he blazed
away again with his revolver, frightening
men, women and children. At the time of
going to press we had not learned of the arrest
of the drunken fool but, for the public good,
him under their protective wing until his
shooting ardor is somewhat cooled. 1t is sur
prlsing, we must say, that fellow like this
man Davis can with IMMUNITY fire two shots
from a revolver on our main thOrOughfare
without attracting the attention of an officer.
THAT STAND-That evidence of poll i;
enterprise that evidence of the public spirit
of some of our spirit vendors, ycleped, that
rostrom on Carson street, which was, month
or two since, erected for the purpose of giving
the opponents of the several political
platforms a chance of airing their surer-
ior claims upon the suffrage of the great
American people of Carson, still stands upon
its original foundation, unused as it was on
the day of its creation. 1t is. it is true,
monument to the public spirit of some of Car
sons good citizens, for it was erected, we
believe, for the public good, without public
expense; but as all ornament it is a success
as failure in that particular direction. 1t is
not likely to be used again, if it ever was,
this Fall for political purposes, therefore We
would suggest, with heart overlooking with
consideration for its erectors, that it be re-
moved at the earliest pleasure of the Street
Inspector.

ow know papa is elected" Mama resorted
a smelling bottle and the young statesman
