Shooting on the Comstock.

The Report of last evening contains
the following account Of a shoot:oc,
scrape in Virginia City which may re-
suit fatally to the party wounded:
About quarter to twelve this morn
ing Dick Tobin walked into the Sheriff
office and remarked: II came to surren-
der myself l have just shot a man in
self-defense" who have YOU shot?',
"Higgison,'' replied Tobin.
1t appears that some months ago the
men had trouble over the discharge OF
Tobin by Higgison, who was foreman OF
the Hale 4 Norcross mine.
No one but the prime ipals were presen,
when the shooting occurred and as H1p-
Elson's physician advised that he. be
not allowed to talk, and the press rep.
resentative was denied audience with
Tobin.
1t appears that Tobin and Higgison
met in the little house near the Hale &
NorcrOss works about 1880 O'Clock. and
that the old quarrel was renewed and
that pistols were drawn. Tobin claims
that Higgison fired the first shot, and
Higgison says that T"bin was the aggres
sor. Anyhow, Higgison was shot in the
lower part Of the left side of the neck
just above the collar bone. Tobin's
weapon was A calibre ,Star bulldog,
',iggison's 80 calibre Colts. Judging
from the two weapons Tobin fired three
shots and Higgison two.
Immediately after the shooting Hig-
glson was removed to the Norcross
office and medical assistance summoned
The bullet after entering the neck ranged
downward, and has not been recovered
The danger is that Higgisoh has suffered
some dangerous internal injury il the
region of the chest.
A representative of the Report in
terviewed Tobin at the county jail and
he stated that Higgison had stated
that he (Tobin) had said that one of
the men working at the Norcross was
40 GOOD. Tobin denied the truth of
the assei ton and had called upon Hie-
glson for retraction. This is how
the trouble began. Tobin insisted that
Higgison fired the first shot.
At this juncture lawyer Pyne arrived
and advised Tobin to make no state
ment, which injunction To5in from
that time oheyed.
The first question Tobn asked. after
the arrival of the reporter. was ahout
Hlggison's condition. He exsrs.s.1
the deepest concern and said he lapc5
Hlgglson would recover. He vas
greatly excited.
The attending physician, when in.
tervlewed this afternoon, declined to
give any procnosis of the case. hut
said that Higgison S injury is seri-
Gus one.

ADMITS THE FACTS
How the Reno Journal Stood
in the Last Campaign

The Reno Journal, in an article a
column and quarter long, admits all
the APPEAL has charged it with. to
wit: receiving money from political
party and then fighting the party and
its platform.
We do not blame the Journal for re
the ordinary course of business for ex-
ira editions, extra reading matter and
extra advertising, incidental to the
conduct of the campaign.
Judge Webster was the business
manager of the Journal during the
campaign of 1898 and received two pay
ments from Stewart sources of $3.50
each and one from the State Central
Committee Of $3.50 for publishing the
platform which he ignored He ga ve
his personal receipt for each o. these
three payments. All this was in the
ordinary course Of business a@d to
which no one can take exceptions.
The APPEAL, however, do, ) take
exceptions, as does every fair minded
man, to the course OF the Journal
afterwards in opposing and villifying
the sources from which these paw
ments OF money came.
Would Judge Webster receive a fee
from client and then accept another
from the opposing interests and expect
to retain his professional standing as
member of the bar? Does he con-
s-der that the ethics Of journalism are
not as high as the ethics of the law
Does he consider that he can be on
both sides of political fight, throwing
party platforms to the four winds. and
expect to retain any standing in peli-
tics: These are questions which we
would like the Journal to answer, and
1t need not require a column and a
quarter to answer them, either Judge
Webster seems to think that party
he has so openly broken faith with can
be led into an endorsement of his can
didacy.
AS a matter of fact, while he has
been abusing all who do not fall in
with his IDEAS of fusion. he has over
looked the fact that the most promi-
nent cause of the opposition to COM
plete fusion. as viewed by Silver men,
is himself.
They feel that his lightning change
policy in the middle of fight and de-
sorting to the enemy entities him to
but scant consideration. They feel
that he has subordinated the candi-
dacy OF Bryan to his own ambition.
and the Silver men will allow no one to
assume an attitude where the cause Of
Bryan in Nevada is to be a secondary
consideration.
We are not assailing Judge Web
ster's legal standing, his judicial abil-
ity or his right to be an aspirant for
any Office within the gift of the people.
We are talking politics to him from a
purely partisan stand point and sug-
costing to him that when he plays at
the game of politics he must observe
these simple rules which have become
established by long usage and prece-
dents.
One of the first of these is: Do not
be on both sides of the fence in the
same campaign.

I'VE FIFTH DiSTRiCT ELECTION.

Paragraphs like this continue to
move around In u vagabOnd way
through the columns of Republican
newspapers:
"The Republican victory In the HI
nOis judicial circuit In which an cleo
ton was held recently has u general
resemblance TO that IN Oregon. 1t was
50 complete that Democrats prefer to
treat II with silence"
Let the Republican press study II few
facts. The thirteen counties cOmp0s.
ing the Fifth supreme Court District
of Illinois are u part of the extreme
Republican belt of the state. There Is
not u Democratic county In the dis
trlcr.
The Republican majoritics In these
counties In 1896 aggregated 1900. At
the recent judicial election the l,epub-
lican majoritics In the counties aggrc-
gated $1,000. There was u Republican
loss OF 5000 In thirteen of the strong
est Republican counties In the State.
Illinois has 1O3 counties. II the Re
publicnns have lost 5000 In thirteen
counties what would be their proper
tionate loss in lO3 counties? Quit brag-

Mr.. ORTSEiFEN DEFEATED.

The Eagle sincerely regrets that
Adam Ortscifen was not nominated for
Governor by the Democrats.
IT he had been nominated he would
have been elected beyond the ,ossibili.
ty of u doubt.
He would have. carried Chicago and
Cook County. where the floating vote
Is TO he found.
The country Democrats turned Chi
cago down, however. and will have tn
hunt for the "indcpcndent vote" at the
various cross roads AMI corners
throughout the state.
Chicago Democrats will vote the
ticket. Of course. but there Is nothing
about II to arouse local enthusiasm or
to bring to Its support any other votes
than are usually east for Democratic
candidates.
As for Mr.. Ortscifcn himself. he loses
nothing by this defeat.
He has a good office. fine business
connections and the esteem of thou.

He will enjoy the summer with his
