4 Reno Shooting.

Reno had a shooting scrape last
evening that has all tho attributes of a
deliberate attempt to commit a cold
blo"1ed murder. From what we wore
able tie learn from Constable Leeper
it appear, that the proprietor Of the ca
loon under the Nevada Bank was shot
down without any cause whatever, He
had gone 10 the rear OF the saloon leay-
ing a man in the place WHO bad been
out OF Jail -four or five days. Vixen he
returned this man, arose from his chair
walked nearly the whole length OF the
saloon and fired two shots ono of
them struck the saloon-keeper, whose
name we did not learn. below the
shoulder blade and the other struck him
in the groin. The wounded man took
the gun away from his n sailant and
shot him once. The man who did the
shooting goes by the name OF Ed. Rod
erick and is one OF the men brought
to the State by the railroad contractors.
He had served a term in Jail and had
been ont but a few days. He had loated
about the saloon since being out of Jail
and had been treated kindly by the man
he tried to murder. He was arrested
and locked up. The man. who was shot
was il "A critical condition and had but a
bare chance for recovery.

Attempted

a man attempted to hold up Joe
Gardner in front OF Mn. Mayhugh's
residence at about o'clock this norm
ing aud had 1t not been for some good
loot work on Joe's part would have
succeeded. Joe accompanied Miss
Henry and Mrs. Pullman home from a
social gathering at Mrs. Willis
residence. After leaving the ladies and
when Mt tho corner of Mrs. Mayhugh'a
residence a man walked up to hun from
tie middle OF the street and asked him
where he was going. Joe asked him
why he wanted to know, and the fellow
replied, @becanse | want you" and at the
same time struck at him with a short
club or @billy." Joe ducked the blow
and run down the street to the hotel, at
better than a ten.second gait. Here he
saw Mr.. Triplett and informed him Of
the occurrence, but then it was impossible
to get any trace Of the footpad. Joe
says that when they left Mrs. Willis
residence they saw a man going down
the hill toward town and he was probably
the person who attempted the hold.up.
As it was very dark at tho time, it is
impossible for Joe to give a very clear
description of the fellow.
