Hotel, where Laws was under guard await
ing examination. Justice Wright, Sheriff
Lewis and several others were in the office.
The lynchers ordered all to sit down. The
order was oheyed, and the leader took lirht
fran the table, saying, I'VE want the piis-
oner; come in, boys" and went into
the hall. a shot was fired from up
stairs by the prisoners guard. About
that time Lewis was shot by the
lynehers through the thigh, cutting the fem.
oral artery. He died in FIVE minutes. The
shot extinguished the lights in the Office.
Those present jumped out of the window,
and Justice Wright was SHOT in the arm, the
bullet grazing his side. while trying to escape.
wounded man, who is supposed
to be shot in the head, as a hat was picked up
ri1dled with shot, and u piece of scalp with
tutt OF hair attached The shot that struck
him was supposed to have been fired by
Lewis, as a gun was found behind him
with one ball discharged, aud he had no
arms on him. It is hard TO say who fred the
first shot in the office. The supposition is
that the leaders Of the lynchers we're from
Modoc county, California, where friends of
the boy Calavsn, murdered by Laws reside,
and reinforced by cattle men from Angel val
ley and Bonanza. There IS no sympathy for
Laws, but the killing of Deputy Sheriff Lewis
is regretted. The lynchers were evidently
well informed, knew that the prisoner was
upstairs, and had it not been for the rashness
of his guard-a stripling-po innocent party
would have been hurt, The affair created
much excitement, but al is quiet now. Laws
is to Re examined to-day, and it is thought an
attempt may be made to take him while on
his way TO the County Jail at Lake View,
distant 120 miles from Linkville.

MORNING SESSION.
SAN ERAScrs,sn Marc

DEATs OF NOTED SwINpLER.-A man
named Pietro Fosco recently died at hotel
in Pesth, where he had been waiter,
who, in 1872, under a much more sounding
title, took the tradesmen Of Paris by storm.
He appeared in the French capital as the
Marshal Count Bustello Foseolo, Due de
Busignano, Patrician of Vepice, attached
to the person of H. R. H. the Prince of
Skanderborg, King of Epirus and Albania.
Due de Busgnano was known everywhere,
and it is supposed that his career furnished
Daudet with material for his &c Kings in
Exile" He went out in search OF men who
wished for rank and distinction and were
willing to pay for it, and promised them
interviews with his ROYAL Hiehness, chief
of the most knightly Order of the Star of
Epirus. At last the police looked up the
Kings" record, and, learning their in
tentions, his Majesty escaped, leaving the
Marshal as guarantee for his return.
The latter was tried on charge of SWIM
ding; his real name, Pietro Fosco, was
flung to him but, with tears in his eyes,
he told bis Judges the vicissitudes of his
noble family, and how his ancestor, Marino
Faliero, had been beheaded on the Giants
Staircase. He failed to move them, and
was sentenced to two years imprisonment,
which he underwent with becoming dig
nifty, aided by trifing presents sent by
elderly ladies who sympathized with him
and really believed HIM to be prosecuted
and unfortunate nobleman.
