two miles East from Grass Valley.
It is now called ‘the Barbary Coast
of the county, and late events there
entitle it to the distinction. We
mentioned yesterday that William
Michels had been shot and badly
wounded, by William Lockhart, last
Monday evening at Union Hill, On
‘Tuesday evening last about 5 o’clock
another fight ocurred at tbe _satiie
place between two golored men,
which tesulted in Wm. Walters,
(known-cs Peg Leg) receiving a stab
in the left eye. Frank Jones (or
Hump Back Frank) did the cutting.
Walterg will not lose the sight-of the
eye, as Dr. Jones informs us, but he
had a close call for it. Again at the
same place, Mrs. Walters and an
Indian got into a row which resulted
in the Indian receiving a wound by
an axe or a hatchét on the right
side of the head. The woman says
the Indian endeavored to violate her
chastity ard she struck him, It is
supposed-that the Indian is dead,
but: his body could not be found by.
the officers yesterday. District Attorney Gaylord and Under. Sheriff
Potter came down yesterday, and
had the proper arrests made. The
examination of these cases will take
place to-day. -The man Michels who
was wounded by Lockhart, on Monday, seems to be getting along well,
