Daily Nevada State Journal January 17, 1882
A shooting scrape occurred in Graham & Co.’s saloon, Eureka, yesterday, between
Dick Guiberson and George Hill, the former being shot through the right breast,
the ball striking the spine, from the effects of which he died at half-past 12
o’clock.  Hill received one shot in the leg, probably not serious, though it is
not known yet whether the bone is broken.  Hill fired all the shots in his
six-shooter.  Guiberson fired but one shot, the remaining five chambers of his
pistol not going off.  The affair has caused great excitement there, as it is
the first shooting that has been done there in a long time, and it is predicted
that other scrapes will come out of this.  Hill has been in several pistol
fights and has been looked upon as a bad man.  Guiberson is well-known through
Pacific Coast, and had a great many friends.  He was a powerful man, but
cheerful and full of fun.  He will be buried in Eureka to-day.
