A Frightfully Mutilated Man - One of the Proprietors of a Theater Shoots His Partner - Condition of the Injured Firemen. San Francisco, July 6th - B.F. HASTING, injured by the explosion at Monterey Sunday, and whose death was erroneously reported, was brought to the city do-day. His injuries are of such a nature that death is likely to ensue, and would be a mercy to him. Both eyes are burst, one leg is so crushed that amputation will be necessary, and he has other painful and serious injuries. About 10 o'clock this evening Samuel TETLOW, one of the proprietors of the Bella Union Theater, walked into the bar-room of the theater, where his partner, Wm. SKEANTLEBURY, was taking a drink with some friends, and with the remark, "Prepare yourself," or something to that effect, drew a navy revolver and fired. The ball passed through Skeantlebury's right arm, entered the cavity of the chest, and was taken out from under the shoulder blade. TETLOW was instantly seized by a policeman and taken to the Station-house, and SKEANTLEBURY removed to the Receiving Hospital. It is not certain whether or not the wound is fatal. The cause of the difficulty is not known, those having a knowledge of the subject preserving silence. All the firemen injured at the fire last night are doing well except CHESTER, who is in a very critical condition, being badly burned, and having inhaled hot air, causing congestion of the lungs. Serious Accident At Colusa - Another Broken Balcony COLUSA, July 6th - As the lady equestrians were approaching the corner of Market and Sixth streets yesterday, a rush was made for the corner of the balcony on the Sun building, when one section of it gave way, and some fifteen or twenty persons fell through to the sidewalk, a distance of seventeen feet. The break was slow enough to enable many persons on the section to get away. It was almost a miracle that no one was fatally injured. Among the injured are Mrs. GROVER, wife of J. GROVER; Mrs. LAUGENOUR, of College City; J.D. GAGE; a small child of Mr. GROVER; Mr. JOSE and two boys of Captain WARNER. The three first were insensible for a long time, and one of Warnerís boys had his thigh broken. Several little girls hung on to the banisters and crawled out after the fall, showing great presence of mind. Those underneath had time after the balcony began to break to get out of the way except Mrs. W.H. BRASFIELD, who had to get a baby buggy off ahead of her. She received a slight scalp wound. Mr. GREEN had given orders for no one to go on that part of the balcony, and several gentlemen were warning the crowd of the danger at the time. The door had been locked to keep the crowd out, but it was broken open, and they rushed suddenly on, each one thinking that it would hold one more. Other than this the celebration here was a decided success. Died of His Injured - Burglaries MERCED, July 6th - Charles Boyce HOWARD, the man who was burned here on Sunday in the lock-up, died yesterday afternoon, and was buried this morning in the grounds of the Merced Cemetery Association.
