SECOND DIsPATCH.l
! TRUCKER, September 15sh.-The psrt;ou.
lars of the Campbell shooting affair at Ran.
dolpb, as far as ascertsined at the present
| time, are about as follows: j. B. Campbell
received the Republican nomination for
| Sheriff of Sierra county az the late Conyen-
ton, after very hard fight. Since his NOM
inatlon he has been making o strong and
thorough canvass of the county, but his enc
mics were busily engaged in working against
him, and the feeling has run pretty high.
About two days ago man by the name
Of Cody, particular personal friend of
msn who did the shooting, had some
trouble at Sierraville in regard to the
| political situation, during which Cody drew
pistol on Stubs. but made no attempt to
use it. To-day Mr.. Campbell came to Ran
dolph, small town near Sierraville, where
Stubbs lives, to see the latter and settle the
difficulty he had with Cody. Stubs was in
| h house owned by q. r. Buxton, eating his
6loner. Campbell waited until he came out,
| and then the two commenced talking in an
ordinary tone. Alter they had been talking
for few minutes, Campbell was heard to
say, " You would. would your" To which
S;ubbs replied, Yes; if they want me they
can ma me any day or any hour" Camp
bell then turned and walked away
| from the other, with his hands
in his pockets. After he had proceeded about
| thirty feet Stubs drew pistol, ran up be-
hind Campbell. brought the pistol around to
the front of his victim and shot him in the
pit of the stomach. Several men were stand
| ing near who caught Campbell before he fell,
and started to carry him to the house. He
never spoke word after the shot was fred,
and died before they reached the house. Al
though there were several men near the place.
not one of them had presence of mind enough
| TO watch which way the murderer went after
[ ZIG aASa1 oAOS was hISus anu De escaped, not
| leaving any trace behind him. The murderer
| Is young man about % years of age, o native
| OF Maine, and he has the reputation of being
| quiet, sober aud industrious. The feeling Is
very strong against him, and if he is captured
the county will not have to go to the expense
| of trial, as the people will dispose of the
case before 1T reaches the Courts.
