mount took place at 6 P. NJ, with Captain
McEwen, of the Cadets, as Officer of the
Day. Sunday, between noon and P. NJ,
the tents were struck, and by P. VI. were in
possession of the Quartermaster to ship back
10 Sacramento. At 4 P. NJ. the valley COM
panies took the down train for home. The
Camptonville company mad left for home
early Ia the morning, as also the Light Ar
tillery, the Gatling guns having been shipped
by rail to Sacramento the night before. The
Nevada City company was the last TO leave
the grounds. The Artillery band, which
gave street concert in Nevada City in the
forenoon, returned to camp in time TO depart
for home with the Sacramento companies
At Grass Valley, while the train was standing
in the depot, private Palm and Sergeant John
Miller, of Company a (City Guard), in common
with others, were indulging in "guying," jok-
ing each other, and what was intended to be
harmless sport. Presently Palm saw Miller
coming toward him, and ying out in sp4rt
"Stand back or I'll shoot, at the same time
reached for an empty shell in his cartridge
box, where he believed he had only empty
shells. Unfortunately one shell was loaded
as blank cartridge, and this one happened
to be the one Palm placed in his rifle, which
he fred from his hip in the direction of Mil
Ter, who was very close. The charge struck
Miller just below the fight eye, infictipg au

the sight of the eye had been injured, but it
is now believed the sight has not been i'm.
paired Miller came on to this city, and had
all attention possible en- route. a surgeon
here last night examined the wound, but was
unwilling to pronouHcs positively as to it;
real character, as o full and satisfactory ex-
animation could not be made last night.
Iced cloths were ordered to be used all night
on the wound. and to-day further examina
ton viii be made as to its character. Miller
is much respected. He IS mechanic at the
railroad shops, and his misfortune excites
great sympathy among large circle of
friends. Palm feels very badly over the
matter and is nearly inconsolable, blaming
himself wholly for the injury to his friend.
The train bearing the returning troops ar
rived here at $50 p NJ. yesterday, and were
met by great crowd of people at the depot,
and received with cheers. The troops moved
up Second street to K, and up X to
Company G's armory, and on to Sixth
and NJ streets, where The line
was dismissed By Lieutenant-Col
onel Berkey, who commanded it. The
Woodland company left for Woodland at
10 o'clock last night by special train. In the
