or account of the crowded condition of
the street, or because the hammer Of
his pistol got out of gear. The cause
of the trouble was quarrel in regard
to politics. The stories as to who fired
the first shot are conflicting, and can
not be recouciled.
THE CAUSE OF THE SHOOTING.
The following card appeared IN yes
terday mornings Eureka Sentinel and
was the cause OF the shooting:
EDITOR SENTINEL In reply to that
unhang scoundrei and liar, j. T. Ander-
SOP. who accuses me Of supporting MIR.
Kaye, have only to say the infamous
wretch knew hlied when he penned that
article. Furthefpore. he has boassed
that he would do sll in his power to H.

mvself in the Sentinel and Ruby Hill pa

e.. He even refused to announce me IN

especially with the Ishmaelite liar and
scoundrei to seize upon any opportunity

The Particulars Of t.se ARRAY.
EUREKA, Nov. As to wbo treo
the first shot tie testimony ID divided
and directly opposed. The most OF tht
firing was done while Thomas Dale wa:
between the two parties. He was
grasped by Reek.
There is a change in Anderson's con
dition for the better to-day. The bal
which passed nearly through him
entered at the pit of the stomach. L
was cot out near the rectun
this morning. The doctors think
that the bowels have not beer
pierced and that the ball passed
only through the throat Of the bladder
The wound is very serious, however
and the patients chances of recover,
are looked upon as one in thousand
The affair has created a profound
sensation. The wife of MIR. Anderson
has been driven almost wild by th'
shock. and is in imminent danger o.
her life, lying as if paralyzed, withou
ability to move hand or foot. The wl1'
of Rsek is also I'LL.
The cause Of the tronble which cul
minated yesterday in the shooting goe
| back two years, and IS OF persona
nature. The immediate cause was th'
appearance Of charges in Anderson
paper OF treachery to his party b,
Reek. Several articles of that sor
published in the Leader elected sour

Mrs. Baker, the wife of Hon. Georg'
W. B.ker, is reported to have wit
messed the affray. and as saying tina

upon him first.
When they met firing began ant

were fired, two by Anderson and nv
by Reek. Public opinion IS divided a
