A DUEL IN THE DARK.

At o'clock on last Friday morning duel
was fought between two young men at
Eureka. They chose the interior of the
Jackson furnace house for their field of opera
tons Of the duel and its results, the Senti
mel of Sunday says
1t appears that young man of Eureka
and this California man have been on terms
or the greatest intimacy, and only recently
the man from the Bay came to Eureka visit
ing and rusticating. Ever since his soiOurn
in town they have been constantly together
when circumstances permitted, and the best
Of feeling prevailed up to few weeks since,
when they fell out Our readers are aware
Of the fact that when intimate friends quarrel
1t is almost hopeless effort to bring about
a reconciliation. Particularly was it so in
this case. Both men were high strung and
men OF determination, and each felt that he
had just cause of complaint, and neither
would acknowledge his shortcomings. Of
course this state of affairs led from bad to
worse, and finally feeling was engendered
that nothing but blood would wipe out the in
suit that each imagined he had received at
the hands of the other. Finally the word
was passed, accepted, and seconds chosen,
but all conducted with the utmost secrecy.
Even their friends Except the two seconds
and repOrter) are not knowing to the affair.
The Jackson furnace was chosen as the field
of honor and the hour two o clock A. NJ The
plan was for the principals to be ushered into
the building from opposite sides, each pro
vided with self-cocking revolver Of the bull
dog pattern, and there in the dark commence
firing at each other as soon as the signal
should be given. A more outrageously plan
ned and carried out Gmende honorable has
never come under our notice, and many a
brave heart would have faltered on the
threshold before going into dark room to be
shot at, and be utterly unable to locate his
antagonist except by the flask of his pistol.
But we digress. The plans were carried out
to the letter, and the two young men so de-
sirous of each others blood were placed in
the building, and at the agreed moment and
signal both fired, one Of the balls slightly
wounding the hand of the young man from
the Bay, while the other escaped without
scratch. Hardly before the report had ceased
to echo through the building, all feelings of
luminosity had left these young men, who only
a moments before were seeking each others
lives. They spoke, and at the sound of the
well known voice, now subdued, each felt the
injustice of his action, and a reconciliation
was there effected. and to day they are the
best Of friends, and no word can express
their happiness that the affair terminated 80
fortunately.

TENT PATIZANSHIP OF GEN
ERAL COMMON.

In tho midst of an exciting campaign like
the present, it is gratifying to note any CON
spicuous instance of conservative action COM
,nending itself to the party Of which the per
son performing it is amember, and presenting
an instance of unselfsh devotion to principle
An in the case before us. Yesterday We re-
ceivcd by mail from very thorough and
ardent friend of ours the following copy OF
= communication addressed by General Con
nor to the Republican Central Committees of
Nye and Churchill Counties
EUREKA, New, August "a, 1873
To the County Committees of Nye and
Churchill Counties, State of Nevada: Having
received the information that the Republican
Central Committee of your county had ap-
pointed delegates to the State Convention
with instructions to support my aspirations
as a candidate for Governor, am exceedingly
grateful to you for your friendly intentions.
But as there has been some comment upon
your action by the press OF the State, and
It having been charged that there was a smack
OF sharp practice by which other candidates
have been cheated out of their rights to the
support of their friends in your comfy for
the same position, shall therefore ask that
vour Committee rescind the resolution iu-
structing delegates to support me, 50 that they
may be- at liberty to choose another candidate
If in their judgement a more fitting one ID
found.
There is no desire on my part to forestall
public opinion by any sharp practice, In
deed, l should prefer remaining in private
life than accept position where there is even
u suspicion of unfairness.
You will obllge me, gentlemen, by annull-
ing the action of your Committee in instruct
ing delegates to the State Convention.
Worry respectfully your obedient servant,
L. EDw. CONNOR.
If anything were needed to illustrate
General Connors thorough Republicanism
and his desire to see the action of the party
freed from all trammels of a personal nature,
this admirable letter would furnish that
illustration. We are much mistaken in the
temper of the Republicans of Nevada If
this high minded act does not meet with
their very hearty appreciation.

THECAULFIELD CASE. the case
of Caulfeld, under arrest in Sacramento for
the murder of VIM. G. English, the Record
Union of Friday says:
In the Police Court yesterday afternoon
Henry A. Caulfeld was examined for the
murder OF W, G. English. Broply and the
Chinaman testified i'll substance the same as
they did before the Coroner jury. Morrissey
witness called by the defendant, stated that
English took the initial in the assault, and that
he was advancing ON Caulfield with an AK in
one hand and a pistol in the other until
after the second shot was fired by the latter.
This evidence is fatty contradicted by that of
the Chinaman and Brophy and the dying
statement of the deceased. The defendant was
held to answer. His attorney, S. S. Holl,
asked that he be admitted to bail, but the
Court denied the application.

A LIGHTNING FREAK.

The Cherry Creek Independent of Saturday
tells the following:
During the little rain storm here about )
P NJ, on the 10th, the lightning played a
strange freak at the residence of Mrs. Kern,
up Cherry Greek canyon. Striking the house,
it came down the stove pipe, passing across
the floor and out of the door into the yard
where it tore up the ground. but in it's path
way it broke off the hearth and the feet of the
cooking stove, broke some dishes ON table,
three legs of sewing machine, killed a cat
that happened to be in its way and made a
complete wreck of the floor. Mrs. Kern was
at the time standing at the table, about four
feet from the course taken by the lightning,
and her baby was sitting on the floor; strange
to say neither was injured, save their being
very much frightened.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

The Tybo S,m of August - narrates a
hair breadth escape as follows;
traveller tour informant did not learn his
name), while crossing the White Pine noun
tain on Wednesday Of last week, came near
losing his life by water spout that descended
in that vicinity. He was following trail on
horseback down the mountain side, when he
heard a rumbIing noise above him, and turn
ing, discovered that a vast volume Of water at
least ten feet high was rapidly approaching
him. There was only one chance of escape,
and that was to jump from his animal and
climb one of the steep banks that rose alb
ruptly on either side OF the trail which he
did just in time to save his life. The horse
was taken by the food and rolled and tumbled
down the ravine some hundred yards, where
the owner found him, after the water sub
sided, lodged among the rocks and rubbish,
dead. The poor animal was bruised and torn
in frightful manner, and stripped of every
thing but the rope that was fastened about
his neck. 1t was indeed a mario" escape.

The SAzERACKER.- is one thing the
Austin flood did not do. 1t did not drown
out the Sazeracker. As proof that he is none
the worse for his drenching, we quote as fol
lows from Fridays issue of the Reveille:
During the night of the day on which the
flood occurred, there were many drunken men
on Main street One of these. in drunken
recklessness, took handful of coin and threw
it on the ground. An Indian standing by

him, but the white man refused the money
and said; ''You keep it, Jim, and treat the
indians with it, ''All right" replied the
Indian, ''me keep 'um; give UNI back when
you sober And next day he hunted the
man up and gave him back his money.

THE REAL DEL MONTE.
Concerning operations ON this famous nine
the Esmeralda Herald of Saturday says:

the Esmeralda Herald of Saturday says
The main west drift on the 800 level is now
in 425 feet and for some days past has given
Nnise of an ore development at an early
a&. The face of the drift IS nov almost en-
tirey in quartz Of good quality. Quite a
heavy flow of water has been tapped i'll the
drift, but it is handled without Inconvenience
with the bailing tank. The tank station, 225
feet from the surface. is nearly completed, and
the first plunger pump will soon be pat III
place. The heavy stone foundation for the
pumping engine is now completed aud will
compare favorably with any foundation on the
coast. The contractors for this work, Messrs.
Elliot & MuCkle, have reason to be proud of
the job, and the Del Monte people need have
no fear of their engine ever moving unless
the entire bulk of Last Chance Hill takes
notion to move into the canyon. To-day the
work Of putting the pumping machinery III
place has been commenced and the work will
no pushed with the utmost vigor, so as to
start the pump and resume sinking Ill the
shaft at the earliest date possible When sink
ing was suspended by reason of the strong
flow of water, excellent ore prospects were
had i'll the bottom of the shaft, and the SUI
perintendent is anxiousy looking forward to
the time when the pump will enable work in
the bottom TO be resumed, and the bonanza
of Esmeralda uncovered. ''-
