FERooloUs AFFRAY.

The following account of the shooting
between Mark Moore and Mexican, is
taken from the Arizona "Bullion pub
lished at Harshaw, and goes to show that
Moore done all in his power to avoid
trouble. No matter what Moore has
been or done, in justice to him, we will
state that ever since his marriage, he has
been an upright and Woodworking man,
earning an honest living:
On Sunday morning, about 10 o'clock,
or usually quiet and orderly camp was
startled by the report of firearms in the
lower end OF town, on the Trench mill
site, which proved to be a savage rem
contre between white man and a Mex
ican-Mark Moore, well-known team
ster, and Jose Ascerano--in which both
were shot in almost the identical spot in
the right breast, near the nipple.
| 1t appears there had been bad blood
between them for some time, arising out
of transaction over q mule, and they
had met before earlier in the morning,
when some angry words passed, and the
| Mexican seized knife and chased Moore
out of the place where the quarrel took
place. Moore proceeded to arm himself,
| his weapon being small-sized revolver
and when he next met the Mexican,
which was at the place mentioned, he
| addressed him, in what appeared to be q
lconcilatory tone. some remark in refer
ence to the mule in dispute. The Mex
1 ma, I'D - h.
| drew 45-calibre revolver from under
meath his blouse and fred, Moore at
\ about the same time drawing his pistol
and firing. They were within but few
PAGES of each other, and both advanced,
firing very rapidly. When the Mexican
had emptied his piece. he dubbed his
| weapon and struck Moore ferocious blow
over the head, and would have Drained
him on the spot but for the timely in
| terposition of Mr.. M. Pagan, who grasped
the pistol and wrenched it from him.
At this time the Mexican was shot
through and through, while Moores
wound had not penetrated so far, though
they fought desperately as if untouched.
| At last both became weak from loss OF
blood, and were taken away, doctors
were summoned, who pronounced both
cases critical, though at the present
writing both are alive and doing well.
Both are men Of wonderful vitality, else
they could not have withstood such
wounds.
Moore is a man Of quiet unoffendina
ways and has many friends in the county,
who will sincerely regret the affair and
wish him q speedy recovery.
Nothing particular is known against
the Mexican, although he had been in the
camp for some time. He has built
several houses, being an adobe-layer and
plasterer, and had previously been con
/ sidered steady hard working man.

OVER CAUTIOUS. Once on a time
there were two brothers. One was
called Prometheus, because he always
looked forward and boosted that he
was wise. The other was called
Epimetheus, because he looked back
ward and did not boast at all; but
said, humbly, quoting the freshman, that
he preferred prophesy after the event.
There came to the two brothers a most
beautiful creature that ever was seen,
Pandora by name. But because she had
a strange package in her hand, this fam
ciful, suspicious, prudential, theoretical,
deductive, prophesying Prometheus would
have nothing to do with pretty Pandora
and her package. But Epimetheus took
her and married her, for better or for
worse, as every man should whenever he
has q chance fer a good wife. Imagine
the delight it afforded Epimetheus when
he opened the package and found that it
was box Of Poujades cigars, with an
order for several plugs of choice tobacco,
and some fine coffee. So Epimethus got
the two best things in the world, while
old Prometheus had to be chained to the
top Of mountain with vulture by him
to give him peck whenever he stirred,
lest he should turn the world upside down
with his prophesies and theories.

At recent meeting Of the German
doctors interested in the treatment Of in
sane persons, a paper was read by the
Director of the Brunswick State Lunatic
Asylum, in which he maintained that
much of the increase Of insanity in Ger
many is attributable to the excessive
amount of work imposed upon the pupils
in the national schools.

HILLSIDE. Last Thursday, there was
q conference in this city between the rep
resentatives Of some twenty odd thou
sand shares of the Hillside, and Mr.. ]. B.
Niece, one Of the trustees of the COM
pany. We assisted at this conference
and while finding Mr.. MCGEE apparently
anxious to get in accord with Eastern
Shareholders and even disposed to go SO
far as to place the further management of
the property in their hands, unhappily,
he was unable to give any clear detailed
information as to the circumstances under
which the company's affairs have been
brought to their present precarious condi-
ton. However, committee of three
gentlemen have been appointed to con-
fer further with Mr. McGee and the other
trustees and to settle on some definite
course of action to be united upon by the
Eastern shareholders for the rescue of
their interests in this really valuable
property.-[N. Y. Mining Record, Sept. IL.

The cost Of publishing newspaper is
a great deal more in Nevada than in any
other State in the Union. The rate Of
composition is nearly double that paid in
the East. The newspapers have always
been ahead Of the times Here, for in
stance, in Reno are published two daily
papers, and each one issues weekly
edition. Almost anywhere else in the
country, a town like this has all it can do
to sustain a single weekly. This is the
rule all over the State. Considering the
field they have to work in the papers of
this State are models of energy and per-
severance Journal.

Mr.. McCABE, of Indiana, a contestant
for the seat, in the National House OF
Representatives, Of Hon. G.. 5. Ortiz,
whose case was supposed to have been
disl osed of adversely to him, McCABE,
processes to have discovered, at this late
dsy, new evidence of bribery and corrup.
ton on the part of Mr.. OPTH, by which
he proposes still to do away with that
genteman's majority and establish his
own claim to the sest. As Indiana Will
hold the balance of power, IN the event
that the election OF President is thrown
into the House, il is easy 10 see the mo.
tive for this claim. The Congressional
DELEGATION of the State stands at present
six Republicans, including Mr., ORTIZ,
six Democrats, and one Greenbscker. 1t
is somewhat uncertain which way Mr.
De LAMATYR, the Greenoacker, who
would hold the casting vote, might de
eide, though ne is believed TO be reason.
ABLY liable to vote with the Democrats,
But to avoid sl contingency, II is pro-
posed to Dust Mr., ORTH, upon false pre-
lenses, which act would leave the Demo.
Gratis clearly in the msjority, without De
LAMATYR, and would ensure the choice
of a Democratic President in the event il
was left to the House to decide, The
party which proposes to effect this change

strictly partisan purpose is the same party

party for two terms in the United States

In 1872 |, was a truthful portrait OF the
party drawn by one who had had good
opportunities for making up correct
judgment, and the party has done moth.

a year. And lives on it. Sometimes
it's more-now and then it's lesa, but
whatever it is l live on it,"
And the honest fellow took receipt
for note and departed.
Old Reginald was as good as his word.
He left his bedroom window open and
placed the salver where the honest bur-
glar proved as wood as his word, and at
9 o'clock in the morning he cama and
found it,
So far all was simple and straiAhtfor-
ward enough. But now comes the curl
ous and incredible part of my story.
The fifty-pound note was part OF the
proceeds of previout burglary. The
number of the note was known, and
traced to old Reginald, who had 10 ac-
count for it's being in his possession.
Now the twelve burglars had in the
meantime been arrested by the police
(this is also Incredibly and were con-
demncd to penal servitudc for life,
So old Reginald had no hesitatb bn in
stating the facts as have stated them.
No one believed him as no one will
me.
But the honest burglar, haying Tscov-
cred the whole thing, cofiee-pot, salver
and all, was the commOncst electro, was
so shocked at old Rcdinald's dishonesty,
that not only did he decline to corrobo-
rate his story, but actually, and think
very properly, identified him as an ac-
complice.
And old Reginald was also sentenced
to penal servitudc, and he and the hon
est burglar worked for years together OF,
the same works, and had many oppor-
tunities of talking the matter over
