AN INDIAN AFFRAY.One Washoe Indian Severely CatBy Another.About 9 a. m. Thursday a couple of Washoe Indians had an altercation on Virginia street at the corner of the first alley this side of Commercial Row. After considerable angry talk, one of them pulled a knife, and made several cuts at the other, who, as soon as he eould break away, ran down the alley toward Center street, while hisassailant skedaddled in the opposite direction. Sheriff Canghlln, upon being inforrded of the affair, instituted a search and found the wounded man in a woodshed in the rear of the Inverness Hotel lying in a pool of blood and apparently unconscious. He bad three scalp wounds on the top of the bead, one ugly gash on the right cheek and a deep cut in the center of the back. County Physician Dr, Phillips was called, and the Indian was removed to the Hospital. The wound in the back is evidently a serious one, but in Dr. Phillips’ opinion will not prove fatal. “Billy,” the one who did the cutting, lives in Long Valley. He is a tough customer, and has served a term in the chain gang. “Bob,” his victim, is a Reno Indian. Constable Dickey and two deputies started after Billy, who was accompanied by his squaw and a papoo«e. They were tracked as far as a wickiup near the month of Pea vine Canyon, where the trail was lost. They probably were making for Loog Valley. Too much firewater was the probable cause of the trouble.P1brieiO!13aUntluseVaetva8II(
