THE SWEETWATER SHOOTING AFFAIR - From a citizen of Sacramento who recently returned from Aurora we learn the following facts concerning the death of James SEARS: The proprietor of the Sulphur Spring House, thirty-six miles north of Aurora, whose name Is Louis WEDERTZ, had been to Carson City on business. On his way home he stopped for dinner at a public house twelve miles north of his own residence. When he stopped, SEARS and a companion were there, having arrived on foot. While eating, SEARS jumped on his horse and started off towards Aurora, taking a trail which led aside from the main road. WEDERTZ then had some difficulty with SEARSí companion, by whom he was struck several times with stones in the contest. He then, in company with a man whose name is supposed to be RODGERS, started on horses after SEARS. After a ride of eighteen miles they overtook him at Sweetwater. On demanding the horse of him, he made a motion as though to draw a weapon, when RODGERS fired and killed him. After the two men returned to WEDERTZís house, at about nine oíclock at night, the companion of SEARS arrived, having walked twelve miles, and being ignorant of the fact that WEDERTZ was the proprietor. He was refused admission to the house, and was compelled to proceed on his way in the night.
