the men met and Vincent drew o pistol
on Walker. but was prevented BY out.
sidsrs from shooting him. At the hour
frst above named the parties again met
in McGurn's store and had q dispute
which brought on Q hst fight In which
Vincent was worstsd and which ended In
his being knocked down by Walker.
He rose, walked out the back door Of
the store. cooked his pistol. went round
to the front entrance and up to Walker
and deliberately fred when not more
than . yard away.
The bullet entered Walkers lower lip.
took out two OF his front teeth, cut on
the end Of his tongue. ranged toward the
right side and down. struck the jaw
there and finally entered the muscles OF
the neck, where II lodged. Walkers
face 10 badly burned with powder, show.
ing the range to have been very close.
The bullet has not yet been found. His

What Caused the Accidental Blum.
der OF the Engineer-Sames OF
the Dead.
BoDrr, CAL. Oct. 4.-As to the cause
Of the accident last night, the following
facts are obtained from the Superin-
tendsnt and are undoubtedly correct:
The hosting engine used at the works
Is known as q double.actins engine. with
two reels that can Be used either double
or single. with . clutch for each reel to
throw them In and out Of gear. When
the men walked on the cage both reels
we're connected with the engine by the
clutches.
The engineer signaled the top carmsn
that all was right and withdrew n Of
the clutches, but unfortunately the
wrong one. The oarman ct the same
instant took the chairs from under the
cage and It dropped like q shot. The
engineer then tried to throw the de-
tached reel into gear again, but 1t was
revolving with such rapidity and the
engine standing still that It merely broke
off two or three oogs without checking
the speed at all, they then tried to stop
Il with the brake but the friction set the
brake ON FIRE and the cage dashed to the
bottom, $40 feet.
In addition to the name Of Harry
Richards. who died Immediately after
the accident, four have died since,
namely: 8. J. Martin, ]. R. Cassidy,
Manuel Alvarez and Joseph Brodeur.
The latter wal q Canadian. and came
here from Gold Hill. His name was
sent last night as Broderick. and hs was
generally known as Joe Brothers.
The engineer returned TO his home
during the night.
