quence tho company's mill had to

this is only a temporary necessity.

The Elko Independent gives an ac-
count OF a shooting scrape at Wells
last Friday night, between a young
man named Hawkins and AL. Duree,
a bartender. Hawkins put his re-
volver against Duree's face and fired.
The ball entered Duree's cheek and
passed around under the left ear,
coming out ut the back of the neck,
producing a painful wound. Hawk
ms received several severe blows on
the head, and 1t is supposed that The
shot after passing through Duree's
cheek entered Hawkins left wrist and
came out near The elbow. Duree
would have killed Hawkins but his
gun refused to act. Both parties are
under arrest awaiting examination.
Both are confined in bed. Hawkins
being much the worst injured of The
two,
