BATTLE or DUNNVILLE.
II Is considered remarkable that only
one man WAS killed IN the Dunnyille
battle. The contesting forces were
about 200 soldiers and deputies under
personal command Of Gen. Bell. and 6j
miners. who were secreted behind rocks
and trees In the hills surrounding the
new mining camp. The attacking par
ty left its train and walked through a
narrow canyon into the open gulch
where the town OF Dunnville Is located,
aud was subjected TO a hail OF bullets
from the rocks high above. Probably
1000 shots were fred by both sides, yet
only one man was hit so far as known.

Gen. He'll will not call for more
troops. believing that the two COM
panies now on duty, assisted by the
sheriff's deputies, can cope with the
small parties Of miners scattered among
the mountains. TO queries on this
point, Gen. Bell answers, "See how
