Yesterday afternoon,-at a saloon off
the Divide, some men were discuss
ing the shooting affray which o c
curred during the mornig betwoen
the two brothers-in-law, Falloiauand
Ward. It was agreed by all hand^“
that it was shocking bad shooting—
a discredit to Washoe. At last a
Pioche man bantered a Comsteck
man, whom1 he knew to be a good
shot with a pistol, to go into the baok
yard' With him and do some shooting
just to show the boys how it should
be done. In the saloon was a box
of eggs and what the /h ocher pro5-
posed was that each should shoot
two eggs off the bare head of the nth- "
tber at the distance of ten paces, the"
one missing to treat the crowd, The
Comatocker was bound not to bo
bluffed by a man from the other and
of the State, so to the back yard aM1
hands a ijourned. Each man used
his own six shooter. The Comstock-
er first “ busted” his egg on the top
of the f iocher’s head, which exploit
was loudly applauded by all present.
It was then the Pioeher’s turn to
shoot, and an egg was produced’ to*
be placed upon the head-of the Com-
stocker, put when he removed his
hat there was a great laugli, for tho
top of his head was as smooth as a-
billiard ball. For full ten minutes'
all hands tried in vain to make an egg
stand on his head. It couldn’t bo
done. The Pioeher then taunted tha
Comstocker with having gone into
the arrangement knowing that he
was safe. The latter told'-Miff’ to’ seif
up his egg and it was all1 fig h t—ha
was there. The IToeher weiit to the,sa-
loon and a moment after oame gu K-
with a small handful of Abuf,- Whicii’
he dabbed upon the bald head of the
Comstocker and then triumphantly
planted in it his egg, fell back- ten
steps and then knocked it Oif. ’Pha
Comstocker then told him to' »et up-
his second egg and shoot at it, as ha
didn’t want to have his liefad chalked
twice during the game) This was
done, and the wreck of a second eggf
streamed over the Comstockers pate.
The Pioeher now stood out with h-*»
.ast egg on his head.- The C^mstock-
er raised his pistol a»<3 tired. The
Pioeher bounded a yard into the air
