 The Cour. Martial.
 lSurciiL io tne CITIZEN
 CAsiP THOMAS, Auzoua, November c. The holding Of the court martial to tr, 
 the Indian scouts, at Fort Grant, excites considerable surprise here, AS most ol the witnesses are at San Carlos or here, and the Government would be saved great expense if the trial was held here. It Is held by some who are good authOri- ties that the military court has not got jurisdiction, as the Indian scouts do not occupy the same position as regularly enlisted men, and the same laws do not apply to them.
 Paymaster Witcher commenced pay ing the troops to-day, and there will be lively times tonight.
 Major Worth and the otherofIicers de- tailed for the court martial at Fort Grant will leave tomorrow. The command of the post will devolye on Major McLel- Ian. Clark's San Carlos scouts have ar rived here.
 The report that General Mckenzie was appointed to the command in New Mexi- co immediately on his arrival there gives | ElC onttsrra, cay'n.
 The court martial of the Indian scouts, which commences on Thursday at Fort Grant, will be very interesting. Colonel Tifany's records at San Carlos will play an important part, and strange develop ments may be expected.

 A Shooting Array.
 TRUCKEE. Cal, October "A fatal shooting afTray occurred in the Chinese ] quarter last night. The trouble had its l origin several weeks ago. The proprie- tor Of the American hotel discharged his Chinese cooks and replaced them by a new crew. The new men were stran- gers in town and this raised the ire of the old crew, and the new crew were ! warned to leave their positions under penalty of getting into serious trouble. They declined to heed the warning, and after they quit work last night they went to Chinatown. and were sitting talking when a shot was fired at them. They immediately drew pistols and com ! meuced shooting. In a few seconds a large crowd of Chinamen gathered on 1 the scene and the shooting seemed to become general among the crowd. There was at least thirty shots fired. After the shooting had ceased it was found that the head cook of the American hotel had been killed; another Chinaman was shot through the arm and received bUl- let in the left side of his body, and a third one was shot through the back of the neck. Up to the present time but one Chinaman has been arrested. More arrests will undoubtedly follow. The wounded men will recover.

About two o'clock thi, morning over dozen masked men went to the old Shakes
 peare jail, where the two men wert confined, and seizng the guard hung the two unhappy men to the jois until dead. King died game, not deign ing to open his mouth or say a word il selt-defense. Littenborn wanted tC talk, but better for him had he show the same silent indifference as his com , panion. The mob showed him no mer cy, but jerked him up with his words il his mouth. Little sympathy is express
