Murderous Assaults.

Saturday man named Robert Mckenzie
who has just served his time in the United
States Navy went into shop kept by man
named Toomey and asked Pat King, who was
present, for drink. King refused him as he
said the proprietor was out. This enraged
Mckenzie, King says, and he pulled out
revolver and fred two shots at him. Forum ate
ly neither of them hit King. Officers Burn
ham and Gribben arrested Mckenzie who
made no attempt to escape. His story is that
he went into shop in the morning where
King was in attendance and was drugged by
him and robbed. When he came to his senses
he started in pursuit of the man he thought
had injured him. He has an excellent record
as a seaman.
Saturday night Dennis WEIGH, young man
q years of age, had Misunderstanding with .
boy named Patrick Carly at Gorham's Corner
which narrowly escaped resulted fatally.
During the quarrel Carly drew q knife and
struck WEIGH in the abdomen jnficting a
severe but not dangerous wound. IT the
knife had gone half an inch further the
wound would have resulted fatally. Carly
made good his escape when he learned the ex-
tent of the wound.

Senator Jones Mounts n Goods Box
and Outlets the Excited Throng.

The Reno journal Of yesterday morn
ing has a thrilling sensation from Virginia
City. There is probably a mistake some
where, as the telegraph has failed to report
anything Of the kind at this end Of the
line. On Wednesday evening, according
to the journal" those who had been
made penniless by the decline in stocks,
determined on revenge. At s o'clock .
surging throng assembled on @ street, and
started to End Skae and others, whom they
believed had contributed to their ruin,
with the view Of hanging them The
crowd was met by Senator Jones, who
Jumped upon a dry goods box, and claimed
their attention. They loved the Senate
so we'll that they stopped to listen to him.
He counseled them against unlawful in
tent, and told them that Skae would admit
to the mine any five men they might name,
so that he might prove that he had not lied
about its condition. His remarks had q
good effect, but at last accounts tLere was
no knowing what the upshot would be be-
fore morning.
The latest from Virginia was that Skae
had agreed to allow q limited number to
enter the mine md examine. Pending
their report the mob quoted.
The SENTINEL may add that the Jour
nal" brings the latest news from the West.
1t 10 issued in time to catch the overland
train, which passes Reno at l o'clock in
the morning. The lightning express leaves
Virginia at 6 P. NJ. and arrives in Reno
about three hours later. 1t is therefore
possible for the :" Journal" reaching here
last night, to have been in possession OF the
exciting news given above.
