THIEVES OPERATE BELOW BALL ROOM WHILE DANCE GOES ON
TWO WOUNDED In
SHOOTING SCRAPE

Last Monday night in shooting
stables on Bridge street, Joe Dotson,
an engineer in the employ of the
Inter Mountain Mining company on
Winnemucca mountain, shot and dan
gerously wounded James Boyd, res
ident of Humboldt county. There was
only one witness to the affray, Mike
Bachtold, porter and general man of
the Winnemucca hotel.
Both the participants in the affair
were intoxicated, and the story, as
near as can be learned, runs about as
follows:
Bachtold, Boyd and Dotson had
been through the redlight district and
were returning home, Bachtold taking
Boyd, who was very much intoxicated,
to his bed at the Fashion stables.
Dotson was following along behind,
when Boyd, probably in drunken i'm
agination, supposed him to be hold
up man Dotson followed along close
ly when Boyd turned around and
seized him and, throwing him to the
ground, began to beat him over the
face and head.
DotSoH tHcH puleu revolver anu
shot twice, the first bullet striking
himself in the right foot and the sec
ond hit Boyd in the right breast a
few inches below the heart
The shooting ended the struggle and
both participants arose and made off
in different directions, Dotson going
to his home and going to bed, and
Boyd disappearing on the streets,
where he was found several hours
later.
The shooting is a very regrettable
occurrence. Dotson is very quiet
man with an unquarrelsome disposi-
tion, and now at an uptown hotel
where he is under the sheriff s surveil-
lance pending the outcome of Boyds
condition, he expresses much sorrow
over the occurrence. Boyd is in the
county hospital, and although his
wounds are pronounced very danger
Gus, he is expected to recover.

JURY ACQUITS
RICHARD
La PERE
JURY DISCHARGES THE
BARTENDER OF DEMO
Evidence of Mrs. Sol Schubener to
the Effect that La Pere threat
ened Her Life

This morning the case of Richard
La Pere, the bartender formerly in
the employ of Mrs. Sol Schubener at
Denio, and charged with assault with
intent to do bodily harm, was tried
in the justice court and this afternoon
the jury, of which r. Lewis was
foreman, brought in verdict of not
guilty. Attorney Wilson, of the firm
of Warren & Wilson, represented the
interests of Mrs. Schubener, and nj.
S. Bonnifeld was counsel for La Pere.
There were only two witnesses, La
Pere, the defendant, and Mrs. Schu-
bener, the complaining witness. Mrs.
Schubener testified that Ia Pere had
used vile and abusive Language and
had threatened her life when she 'w,apt
to discharge him
La Pere, on the other hand, denied
that he had used this language and
claimed that he was only paid $500
month for his work, when he should
have had $4,000.
The jury reached a verdict shortly
after they retired for consultation on
the case, it being their opinion that
on the evidence submitted they could
not convict La Pere of the offense
charged

The burglary of the store of the
Winnemucca Mercantile company was
most cleverly planned and carefully
executed. While the thieves were
plundering the store a dance was on
of the same building. The work of
the burglars was unmolested, and they
escaped with their booty.
Enerance was effected to the build
ing by side window in the plumbing
shop in the rear of the store by the
