SHOOTING AT JUNCTION.
A Poor Shot Gets Killed After Firing
Four Times without Effect.

Friday night, shooting atfray took
place at the kelton stage road cross
ing of the Oregon Short Line Rail
road, in Pfeiffer's saloon, during which
one man was shot and instantly
killed.
The particulars of the affair are not
fully known, but as far as learned the
fight resulted from a dispute between
party Of men engaged i'll gambling
with cards, when one Of the party
drew a revolver and fired four shots at
his opponent, neither Of which took
effect. The latter, as soon rs he be-
came aware that he was being fired
upon from small-sized pocket re-
volver, became angered, and drew .
large pistol, which he sighted deliber-
ately and fired at bis antagonist, who
fell MORALLY wounded at the first slot.
The wounded man died almost imme-
diately, and at last accounts was lying
untouched, awaiting an examination
by Coroner's jury, which has by this
time reported. Further details are
expected by the next stage.

SOUVENIR;
ALTA WHEAT,
NETTlE SADLER.
Dec. IS, 1882.

The object of the soirec now be-
came plain to all in attendance; Miss
Alta Wheat, who is soon to become
bride, was, assisted by Miss Sadler,
bidding a long farewell to the pleas
ures Of young ladyhood, prior to en-
barking OH lifelong voyage on the
sea of matrimony. Although the APP
preaching event had not been form
ally announced, it had been known TO
all present for some time, and there
was no longer any restraint felt OIL tn,
subject by those who wished to speak
of the approaching nuptials. Miss
Wheat was thereupon made the re.
cipient Of the congratulations usua
in such cases.
The supper was such banquet as
cannot surely have been partasen of
on Wood River before, and was done
ample justice to. Shortly after the
guests had sat down, they were most
agreeably surprised by the sound of
sweet melody produced by Dixie
Boone's Quadrille Band, which, un-
known to all, had been quietly ad-
nitted by the front door while the
banqueters were taking their places in
The dining-room
Mr.. Morrill's house is admirably
disposed for entertainments Of this
kind. The parlors extend through
the whole front of the building. AG.
joining the south parlor, and at right
angles with it, is the dining room,
separated from the parlors by heavy
lamask curtain, As the sounds of the
instruments We're produced, they
struck in a solid wave, as it were,
against the walls of the parlor, and,
greatly softened and mellowed, were
transmitted to the dining room
through the curtains. The effect can
be better imagined than described.
After supper, the ladies returned to
the parlors, and most of the gentle
men proceeded to the smoking-room,
whence they were soon recalled by
the lively strains of the band, and
command of s.Take partners for a
waltz" issued by Willis Mcbride, by
common consent chief waiter, caller,
floor manager, leader Of the choir and
quartets, and general fun-maker for
the occasion. The waltz was succeed
ed by polka, this was followed by a.
quadrille, and so on. After an hour
and half of dancing, during whicl.
as three quadrille sets could stand Oh
the floor at once, the parlors and DIM
ing groom having been denuded Of al
furniture) all present indulgeu them
selves to their hearts content, the la
dies were. invited to the piano and en-
tertaincd the company with choice
operate and other vocal and instru-
mental selections for another hour
and talf. Then there was more
tripping Of the slight, fantastic toe"
those disinclined to dance rssorting to
card. playing and other pastimes.
Thus the hours flew until nearly 2
o'clock in the morning, when the
party disbanded, every member Of it
being heartily sorry that it was over.
As several Of those who were there
will doubtless wish to preserve
printed account Of it, the names Of the
participants are added, viz: Miss
Keown, Miss Moore, Miss Clarity,
Miss Wines, Miss Susie McNamee,
Miss Nichols, Miss. Buck, Miss Wheat,
