SHOOTING AFFAIR AT PARADrsE.
One man Fatally Wounded and the
other I'm Jail.

Deputy Sheriff Morse, w. r. Adams
and G.. NJ. Riddle arrived here this
morning from Paradise with Charley
Hymer, who was arrested for shooting
T. X. West at that place last night
During the performance of the Henri
Burlesque Company the house was
crowded and Hymer sat in Vests lap,
West requested him to get up, which
he refused to do. Hot words passed
between them and Hymer struck West
with six-shooter. West put his hand
kerchief on his bleeding head and left
the hall. Hymer followed him and at
the door West turned around and spoke
to Hymer. What was said is not
known, but Hymer fired and shot West
in the groin. DIR. Powell examined the
wound and pronounced it fatal. This
caused the greatest excitement and the
crowd threatened to lynch Hymer, and
would have put their threats into exc
cution had it not been for the prompt
action of the Deputy Sheriff, who, with
the assistance of Adams and Riddle got
him away in a buggy.
West is known as peaceable and in
dustrious man. Hymer is young man
about % years of age, who is unfortu-
nately ambitious to acquire the reputa

TIE Willow Creek Mines.

w b. Merchant, postmaster at Para
disc, who has been taking look at the
mines in Rebel Creek District, informs
us that the Willow Creek mines, of
which the Ethan Allen is "a fair repre-
sentative, are situated at the extreme
herd of Willow Creek on ridge be-
tween the forks of that stream, some
six miles from Camp Scott i'll Paradise
valley, and about a mile north of the
summit of the range which divides
Paradise valley from Willow Creek.
Six promising lodges have been located
on the hill in which the Ethan Allen is
situated aad the whole surface of the
ground III the vicinity is covered wi5h
ore. Mr. Merchant says he has seen
many mines in Nevada, Califol.ua end
South America, but in all his travels he
never noticed a mining camp that had
such promising suffice indications as
that at the heed OF Willow Creek.

New Mines Discovered I'm Northern
Humboldt.

Frank Mortimer writes from Camp
McDermit, that two large lodges con-
tanning rich ore have been discovered
in Northern Humboldt, about thirty
miles west of McDermit by N. G. Whit
ney and Pat Higgins. A new district
has been organized and named Disaster
Peak District. The boundaries of the
district as determined by miners meet
ing at which b. +. Baber, +. Mortimer,
N. c. Whitney, Robert Bolton, Phillip
Riley and others were present were
fixed as follows: Beginning at the North
Fork of McDermit Creek and running
south and following the Disaster range
to the head of Horse Creek thence
west to the Summit of Kings River
range thence north, along said range
to Cottonwood; thence east to the
place of beginning.
Mines We're discovered near Disaster
Peak in 1868, but the prospectors were
driven out or killed by the Indians,
and it is believed that extensive and
rich leads exist in that vicinity.

Astonishing success.

1t is the duty of every person who
has used Boschee's German Syrnp to
let its wonderful qualities be known to
their friends in curing consumption,
severe coughs, Group, asthma, pneumo-
nia and in fact all throat and lung dis
eases. No person can use it without
immediate relief. Three doses will re-
lieve any case. and we consider it the
duty Of all druggists to recommend 1t
to the poor dying consumptive, at least
to try one bottle, as 10000 dozen bot
ties were sold last year, and no one
case where it failed was reported. Such
medicine as the German Syrup cannot
be too widely known. Ask your drug
gist about it. Sample bottles to try
sold at 10 cents. Regular size Is cents.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
Found Dead In Hsls Cabin.

Reports from Unionyille say that
Ned Granfell, miner, who was well
known in the southern part Of the
county, was found dead in his bed
Saturday night Granfell was a man
of powerful frame and apparently as
robust as anybody in the country. He
worked in I'll mines of Star and Union
vile for years, and was known as a
quiet and industrious man. As Coroner
Oppenheim has not been officially noti-
fled of his death, it is probable that no
inquest Will be held.

The Dramatic Entertainment.

The entertainment given by the Dra-
matte Society in Centennial Hall Satur-
day evening, though creditable to
amateurs, was not considered by the
members of the Society up to the usual
standard. Outsiders are of the opinion
that this was more the fault of the plays
selected for the occasion than of the
actors, nearly all of whom performed
their parts creditably. An accident oc-
CURED daring the entertainment by
which Fred. Plane had one of his hands
severely burned by the premature ex-
plosion of a pistol.
