A SHOOTING AFFRAY IN SCREVEN.
Frank Evans Dead, and a Han Named
Proctor Dying.
A terrible tragedy occurred at
Cameron Tuesday afternoon where
in a negro bv the name of Sam
shot and killed b rank Evans
and also wounded a man by the
name of Proctor, both white.
Perry’s wife had been cursing
and abusing Proctor’s children,
Frank Evans came up about this
time, when , T Perry , pulled Ins pistol . ,
and shot him, til m shot Pr< c or.
Evans lived oniv a f< w minutes,
Proctor was still alive at last ac
counts. The physicians think his
f <-‘ recovery are slim.
It is also 8, titl'd that Perry shot
Mr loin Lee, who had just
up in his buggy, and seeing
the difficulty started towards the
negro, who commenced to reload
his revolver. Mr. Lee being un¬
armed, retreated.
At this instant Brown Evans,
brother of Frank Evans, ran up
armed and the negro lied, Brown
Evans following, crying “He has
killed my only brother, and I will
kill him if it takes me a lifetime.”
Thirty or forty excited men
from Halcyondale about five
miles distant, quickly formed
themselves into a posse and set
out for the scene and chase of the
criminal. If caught swift justice
it is believed, will be meted out
to him.
SMITHERS’ RETORT.

His Sarcastic Reply to the Private

“Hum ! Suspiciously like a boarding

the dimensions. A collarless negro serv

suspicions, bnt be bad gone too far

order to tempt them. On the approach
of night they returned into the sea

In a fatal moment some of the Israel

them for dinner, whereupon David
cursed the Sabbath breakers, and God,
to show his displeasure, changed them
into apes and pigs. For three days they
remained in this unpleasant condition,
when a violent storm arose and swept
them into the sea. —Pittsburg Dispatch,

NO CHINESE IN LEADVILLE.
Two Pistolled Celestials Who Were
Tattooed by the Town.
Every well known nationality except
the Chinese is represented in Leadville.
Only two Celestials ever entered the
camp, and the story of their short stay
is unique and interesting. There wasn’t
much ofr a demonstration on their ar¬
rival, tor it was late , at night ... when
they climbed down from the roof of one
of the coaches into tlie busy streets and
hastily surveyed the strange surround
inga
Word was whispered abont in the
dives with which the street was lined,
and soon the pigtails were encompassed
with a quiet and gentlemanly mob of
perhaps r. hundred miners and hoboes,
* Scarcely a wojrd was spoken, but as
soon aa the luggage of the passengers
and the mails were taken from the boot
0 f the Concord the China boys were as
eisted to the seats they bad just vacat
ed, the driver was given a tip and the
distinguished arrivals were whirled out
of town in much quicker time than
they had entered it, for it was a down
hill pull to Malta, the nearest settle
ment down the gulch. There they were
left to shift for themselves ns best they
might,
What means of communication with
ea ch other these strange little people
have I know not. bnt the news of the
reception that was tendered to the first
representatives cf their race to visit
Leadville traveled rapidly, and the fact
goon came to be understood by them,
in all localities where they congregated
i n Colorado, that they were not want
ed. I later queried a Chinaman in an
adjoining town as to whether he had
ever been in tlie great mining camp.
and his reply was characteristically la
conic “I no go Lead-v-i-l-lee. Lead
