* We obtain the following particulars
of the-dreadfal tragedy which took
place at Truckee, in this county, on
~ Friday night last, from the ‘‘Republican’’ and from Mr, William White,
(brother of Jackson White, ) rho went
to “Trackee as soon as he learned of
the death of his brother. We make
all corrections -in the “Republican's” .
article to agree with the. statement
‘given to Wm. White by parties who
werg present at thetime: . :
“The participants in the terrible affair were Andy Fugate avd Jackson
White. The-former has lived in
Truckee nearly eversince the town .
had anexistence. ‘ He has been noted
as a disreputable character, and for
the numerous quarrels in which he
has been engaged, mostly -with lewd
women and badmen. Fugate owned
a number of tenement houses on Jibboom street. which he has been in.
the habit of renting to abandoned
wortien. Jackson White, it appears,
on the’ night after election, with a
number of other men went to one of
Fugate’s houses, and commenced
skylarking and having a good time
generally. During .the’ wrestling
White was thrown against a door and
knocked one df the pavelsout. This
seems to have exasperated Fugate,
‘ gnd he threatened to have White and
the other parties arrested. White
heard of this and-the next day went
to see Fugate to settle the matter up
without any trouble. When White
again’ made his appearance in front
of the house, Fagate ordered him
away, and pushed, or tried to, push
him from the porch. Fugate asked
White if he was “heeled.” The latter replied in the negative, and Fugate told him he had better arm himself and he would meetin the evening on the street and settle their
difficulty. Soon atter nine o’clock
they met at the alley at the corner of
‘and in front of Burckhalter’s store.
Fugate asked White if he was ‘‘heeled.” White answered, “Yes, are
you?”’ Fugate answered in the affirmati.e and told White to ‘‘sailin.”’
Both men drew their revolvers instantaneously. Nelson Martin and
ome David Dodge weré but a few feet
e
‘oat
ar
from the men at the time, the former
being engaged in shutting the “iron }
doors of the store: They state that
Fugate fired the first two or three
shots. These witnesses and other
persons in the vicinity, did the best
they could to screen themselves fygm
danger, either by getting behind the
iron doors; or by getting away to a‘
safe distance from such a dangerous
locality. It is said that after Fugate
had fired two or three shots, White
‘ fired and then fell back off the side_ walk in front of the store. Fugate
at this time stood with his back
egainst the iron dgor of the store.
Immediately after White fell off the
sidewalk, evidently badly wounded,
Fagate walked deliberately up to the
edge of the sidewalk and fired two or
three shots in rapid succession at the
kneeling form of White. One or
two of these shots todk effect in
White'y body, bat did not prevent
him from taking aim at Fugate and
firing three shots at him, one taking
effect in the groin, another in the abdomen and the third passing through
his chest. Both men emptied —their .
revolvers, firing six shots each. To
show the pluck and. courage that
these mutilated and dying
men, both of them snapped their
empty revolvers at each other two or
three times after the last shot was
fired. Bugate sank down upon the.
sidewalk, exclaiming, ‘‘Boys, I’m
gone,” Both men were picked up
a few momonts afer the firing ceased.
White wascartied into W. J. Shinu's
drag store, and Fugate, into Dr.
Curlesa’ store. The latter never
spoke, an died in a few minutes,
Either cf bio three wounds were
mortal,. but the one in the groin severed the femoral artery und cansed
his speedy death, White was taken
from Shinn’s drag Store to his siceping room in the Sweeney bnildiug.
Dr. Jones made an examination of
his person and pronotnced his
wounds fatal, One ba‘let had passed through bis ehest and lungs and
lodged aguinat the skin on his right
side and was extracted. Andbher

County Saperintendent Watson is
furnishing the Nevada TraxscrirT
and Grass Valley Union, for publication, a sketch of each public school
in the county. The followingsketch
is the seeong of the series: .
Clear Creek District—The present
teacher of this school is Miss Hannah Crowley, who has. held the position for the past eight months.
The grade of her certificate is third.
The census Marshal reports 35 children between the age of 5 and 15
years, of which number 20 have been
enrolled, and thirteen have been the
average number belonging to the
achoor the past year. The school is
graded as follows: 3d.grade, lst division, 1; 2d division, 2d grade, Ist
division,5; 2d division,6; 3d division,
6. The school issecond ‘grade and
Fequires.a Second grade certificate to
be held by the teacher. The house
is old, and contrasts sadly with the
residences, and fine barns of the residents of the neighborhood. Tht
Trustees are Judge Davisand W. H.
Barnes, the latter atting as Clerk.
There are 80 volumes in the library,
and back numbers of the California

o'clock Saturday morning. The Republican is mistaken when it states
that he formerly attended the public
sehool in this city, and itis also mistaken in saying that he has a wife at
Carson City. His brother, William
White, has resided in this ¢ity for
many years, and is known asa hard
working and industrious man. . The
deceased has livedin Virginja City and
Carson, but came from Sierra City
to Truckee only a few. days ago. His
‘remains were brought to this city on
Sunday night, and the funeral services took place from the. Methodist
church yesterday afternoon.

Ir has been discovered that the

no right to send bulky packages by
express, instead of mail; and all
mailable matter carried by private
persons, common carriers, or express
companies, is in violation of law
where the mailis carried, and punishable by penalty. People may
carry a letter fur a neighbor if the
missive is done up in a parcel. Our
law is similar to that of England,
where they tie a string around a letter, call ita parcel, and send it to its
destination independently of the authorities. So says an exclange.
