: NEVADA CITY, CAL. cect CH AI OPES ere \M@ueaday, Sept. Oth, 1673. * 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 passed throug the abdomen aad the third weut thromgh the groiu. Ejither of the wounds would necessarily 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.

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. The Elect.

Ir has been discovered that the War and Treasury Department. have 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.
