Coroner Blake took charge of the remains and removed them to his office on Hunter street, where an inquest and post mortem examination were held. The following is the testimony elicited by the Coroner: REV. HENRY GILES, sworn – His name is Edward HEPBRON; he was a native of Scotland; his age was 30 years; had been a teamster in California; was not intemperate in his habits. He stated he was intoxicated when he took the stage at Hornitos; he had in his pockets $100 in gold. He also said he was intoxicated when stabbed; did not quarrel with any one; was stabbed without cause; did not know who stabbed him; has no relations in this country. He stated he was an educated man. JOHN BARNEY, sworn – Between the hours of 4 and 5 o'clock, was engaged in getting teams to haul wheat; my attention was called to loud talking on the side of Frank MOSS' Saloon; went over; found 5 men at the bar; knew but one of them; am not certain as to his name; heard one of them state he was the best man of his inches in this county; the name of the man who made the assertion is John BLACK. A man they called RANEY said to BLACK, it is my fight first, after this, yours. Frank MOSS and a man named NEFF went up to the bar with a man named TEET, and called for a drink. While drinking, the deceased and a man they called RANEY went over opposite the bar and sat down, both of them very drunk. They got up, went to the bar and called for a drink; John BLACK stepped up to the deceased and said he could whip him for $150; BLACK said, you could black my eye; I would like to see you do it. They then sat down. Major RANEY then put on his coat, came out in the street; stepped up to ano! ther man, and said, "you s-n of a b-h will you see a man run over in this town?" I saw the man, whom they called Major RANEY, stab the man whose body has been viewed. After the stabbing he went round in company with a friend; after a short time he settle down. Joseph HORSELY went in advance of me and took off his hat; I stated to him he was not stabbed in the head, but somewhere in the body; he then ripped open the shirt of the deceased and saw the wound; saw him taken to Dr. LANGDON's office. Up to the time of the stabbing, the deceased had done nothing to justify the stabbing. I saw the knife; think it was a pocket knife. JOHN C. CHAPIN, sworn – I was standing in the door of the Union Saloon on the afternoon of Wednesday last some time after 4 o'clock. The first I saw of the trouble was about 1 hour before the stabbing took place; went into the saloon and saw a man drinking at the bar named BLACK, with some friends. While at the bar, the deceased and some friends came in; they came up and drank. BLACK, or some one, said he could black the eye of deceased; deceased made about the same remark. After deceased and his friends drank, they sat down immediately. After RANEY came in, BLACK said to RANEY, they had tried to come double shuffle; RANEY stated that he would stand by them. RANEY and BLACK boasted of their fighting qualities, and went out of doors. BLACK stated while outside they would come the double shuffle on him. RANEY stated to him as before, that he would stand by him. BLACK went up to the men who were down and inquired who it was that could black his eye? Afterwards, BLACK went to th! e bar; RANEY went to the bar; after this, deceased went out of doors. RANEY after this went back to the bar, and stood a few minutes, took out his pocket knife and opened the door; as he walked by me he raised his knife; the man who was cut was standing near; Mr. RANEY said to deceased, you "s-n of a b-h," and plunged the knife into the body of deceased; deceased stepped back; another man says that is not right; RANEY says "if it 's not right we will make it right," and started for him; the man jumped out of the way; deceased then pulled up his shirt; I then saw the wound; I saw no more of him until I saw him lying on the sidewalk where he fell; I am sure the wound was made where RANEY struck; the knife was a long knife – a good sized pocket knife; I heard several persons call the man who stabbed deceased, Major RANEY; am not acquainted with Mr. RANEY. SAMUEL VEDDER, sworn – I saw a man whom they called Major RANEY take out his knife, and in a great state of excitement, start for the door, and said he "would get the s-n of a b-h." He made 2 passes at deceased. I think the 1st one the fatal stab. I was introduced to Mr. RANEY by Mr. BLACK; feel assured it was RANEY who stabbed deceased – do not think deceased gave any reason or cause for any one to stab him; no bad language was used by him of any king. JAMES EVANS, sworn – The first I saw of Mr. BLACK and deceased was sitting on a lounge; deceased and Major RANEY both started for the door; while near the door, I hear Mr. RANEY threaten deceased, using bad language; deceased used no language in reply to cause an assault. RANEY came outside the door, knife in hand, very much excited, cursing, &c. As soon as he got in reach of him, he stabbed him. I believe it was Major RANEY who stabbed deceased, as I heard him answer to that name many times. A man standing near, said it was not right. Major RANEY then made for him; the man ran away from him. Afterwards I saw deceased lying at Frank McLELLEN's door-step, on Centre street, having sunken down in consequence of his wound. I believe the deceased viewed today is the man who was stabbed by Mr. RANEY; am not acquainted with Mr. RANEY. JOHN BAKER, sworn – I saw the thing just as others stated; do not know Mr. RANEY; saw him stab deceased. POST MORTEM – We, Dr. A. THORNDIKE, Dr. SPOSATI and Dr. LANGDON, summoned by the County Coroner to examine into the cause of the death of Edward HEPBRON, do find upon such examination, that said death was caused by a knife wound inflicted on the left side, wounding the cartilaginous portion of the 7th rib, penetrating the cavity of the abdomen, cutting the onestermo and lodging finally in the transverse colon. The cut at this point of entrance is about 2 inches, and that in the colon about 2 lines or 1/6 of an inch. A. THORNDIKE, M.D. N. SPOSATI, M.D. S. LANGDON, M.D. This is to certify, the above is an exact copy as sworn before me this 19th day of July, 1867. A.N. BLAKE, County Coroner VERDICT – We, the undersigned Jurors, convened to inquire into the cause of the death of Edward HEPBRON, do find that the deceased was a native of Scotland, aged 30 years, and that he came to his death from the effects of a wound inflicted with a knife in the hands of a man known as Major RANEY, on the 17th of July 1867, in this city of Stockton.

On his way out CROFTON met RANEY coming to the city for the purpose of placing himself in custody. He was taken to the office of Justice Baldwin, where he remained some time awaiting an examination. The examination was finally post-poned until some other day, and in the mean time the prisoner was committed to jail. DYING REQUEST – Rev. J.

Coroner Blake took charge of the remains and removed them to his office on Hunter street, where an inquest and post mortem examination were held. The following is the testimony elicited by the Coroner: REV. HENRY GILES, sworn – His name is Edward HEPBRON; he was a native of Scotland; his age was 30 years; had been a teamster in California; was not intemperate in his habits. He stated he was intoxicated when he took the stage at Hornitos; he had in his pockets $100 in gold. He also said he was intoxicated when stabbed; did not quarrel with any one; was stabbed without cause; did not know who stabbed him; has no relations in this country. He stated he was an educated man. JOHN BARNEY, sworn – Between the hours of 4 and 5 o'clock, was engaged in getting teams to haul wheat; my attention was called to loud talking on the side of Frank MOSS' Saloon; went over; found 5 men at the bar; knew but one of them; am not certain as to his name; heard one of them state he was the best man of his inches in this county; the name of the man who made the assertion is John BLACK. A man they called RANEY said to BLACK, it is my fight first, after this, yours. Frank MOSS and a man named NEFF went up to the bar with a man named TEET, and called for a drink. While drinking, the deceased and a man they called RANEY went over opposite the bar and sat down, both of them very drunk. They got up, went to the bar and called for a drink; John BLACK stepped up to the deceased and said he could whip him for $150; BLACK said, you could black my eye; I would like to see you do it. They then sat down. Major RANEY then put on his coat, came out in the street; stepped up to ano! ther man, and said, "you s-n of a b-h will you see a man run over in this town?" I saw the man, whom they called Major RANEY, stab the man whose body has been viewed. After the stabbing he went round in company with a friend; after a short time he settle down. Joseph HORSELY went in advance of me and took off his hat; I stated to him he was not stabbed in the head, but somewhere in the body; he then ripped open the shirt of the deceased and saw the wound; saw him taken to Dr. LANGDON's office. Up to the time of the stabbing, the deceased had done nothing to justify the stabbing. I saw the knife; think it was a pocket knife. JOHN C. CHAPIN, sworn – I was standing in the door of the Union Saloon on the afternoon of Wednesday last some time after 4 o'clock. The first I saw of the trouble was about 1 hour before the stabbing took place; went into the saloon and saw a man drinking at the bar named BLACK, with some friends. While at the bar, the deceased and some friends came in; they came up and drank. BLACK, or some one, said he could black the eye of deceased; deceased made about the same remark. After deceased and his friends drank, they sat down immediately. After RANEY came in, BLACK said to RANEY, they had tried to come double shuffle; RANEY stated that he would stand by them. RANEY and BLACK boasted of their fighting qualities, and went out of doors. BLACK stated while outside they would come the double shuffle on him. RANEY stated to him as before, that he would stand by him. BLACK went up to the men who were down and inquired who it was that could black his eye? Afterwards, BLACK went to th! e bar; RANEY went to the bar; after this, deceased went out of doors. RANEY after this went back to the bar, and stood a few minutes, took out his pocket knife and opened the door; as he walked by me he raised his knife; the man who was cut was standing near; Mr. RANEY said to deceased, you "s-n of a b-h," and plunged the knife into the body of deceased; deceased stepped back; another man says that is not right; RANEY says "if it 's not right we will make it right," and started for him; the man jumped out of the way; deceased then pulled up his shirt; I then saw the wound; I saw no more of him until I saw him lying on the sidewalk where he fell; I am sure the wound was made where RANEY struck; the knife was a long knife – a good sized pocket knife; I heard several persons call the man who stabbed deceased, Major RANEY; am not acquainted with Mr. RANEY. SAMUEL VEDDER, sworn – I saw a man whom they called Major RANEY take out his knife, and in a great state of excitement, start for the door, and said he "would get the s-n of a b-h." He made 2 passes at deceased. I think the 1st one the fatal stab. I was introduced to Mr. RANEY by Mr. BLACK; feel assured it was RANEY who stabbed deceased – do not think deceased gave any reason or cause for any one to stab him; no bad language was used by him of any king. JAMES EVANS, sworn – The first I saw of Mr. BLACK and deceased was sitting on a lounge; deceased and Major RANEY both started for the door; while near the door, I hear Mr. RANEY threaten deceased, using bad language; deceased used no language in reply to cause an assault. RANEY came outside the door, knife in hand, very much excited, cursing, &c. As soon as he got in reach of him, he stabbed him. I believe it was Major RANEY who stabbed deceased, as I heard him answer to that name many times. A man standing near, said it was not right. Major RANEY then made for him; the man ran away from him. Afterwards I saw deceased lying at Frank McLELLEN's door-step, on Centre street, having sunken down in consequence of his wound. I believe the deceased viewed today is the man who was stabbed by Mr. RANEY; am not acquainted with Mr. RANEY. JOHN BAKER, sworn – I saw the thing just as others stated; do not know Mr. RANEY; saw him stab deceased. POST MORTEM – We, Dr. A. THORNDIKE, Dr. SPOSATI and Dr. LANGDON, summoned by the County Coroner to examine into the cause of the death of Edward HEPBRON, do find upon such examination, that said death was caused by a knife wound inflicted on the left side, wounding the cartilaginous portion of the 7th rib, penetrating the cavity of the abdomen, cutting the onestermo and lodging finally in the transverse colon. The cut at this point of entrance is about 2 inches, and that in the colon about 2 lines or 1/6 of an inch. A. THORNDIKE, M.D. N. SPOSATI, M.D. S. LANGDON, M.D. This is to certify, the above is an exact copy as sworn before me this 19th day of July, 1867. A.N. BLAKE, County Coroner VERDICT – We, the undersigned Jurors, convened to inquire into the cause of the death of Edward HEPBRON, do find that the deceased was a native of Scotland, aged 30 years, and that he came to his death from the effects of a wound inflicted with a knife in the hands of a man known as Major RANEY, on the 17th of July 1867, in this city of Stockton.

ELLENBERGER -------------------------------------------------------- RE-ARRESTED – Major RANEY, who gave bonds in the sum of $2000 to answer before the next Grand Jury to a charge of assault with intent to kill Edward HEPBRON, was re-arrested yesterday by Constable CROFTON, who after being informed of the death of HEPBRON, started for RANEY's residence, some 12 or 15 miles from the city.

Mr. HANNAN voted two years ago at the age of 104, but this year he is too old and feeble, both in mind and body, to exercise his privilege of citizenship. He has become feeble-minded because his extreme age has resulted in the separation of the brain tissues. His son, W.J. HANNANN, came down from Carville, Trinity County, this week to visit him, but the aged father recognized the son for only a moment or two, and then his mind was a blank. Mr. HANNAN built the house in which he now lives after he was 100 years old, the only assistance given being by a man who held the rafters while he nailed them in place.

YAHN, formerly an enlisted man in the Marine Corps and previous to his enlistment a prominent young merchant at St. Charles, Mo., from which city he fled after having embezzled thousands of dollars. YAHN comes from a prominent Missouri family and to escape detection fled from his home last January and made his way to Memphis, where he enlisted in the Marine Corps and was shortly afterwards sent to Mare Island. The Missouri police endeavored to capture YAHN by sending descriptions all over the country, but without success. While in Vallejo, however, YAHN wrote a letter home which was secured by Sheriff HINES of St. Charles. A description of YAHN was forwarded to Chief of Police STANFORD of this city but in the meantime YAHN had been sent to Manila and not knowing that he was in the Navy, the searchers for a while were baffled. STANFORD searched through the records on Mare Island and finally found a marine whose description tallied with that of the man wanted. Sheriff HINES was informed of the result and in turn had the Navy Department look the matter up, with the result that YAHN was taken into custody in Manila and brought home on the Lawton. Sheriff HINES has been notified of the capture by wire and is now on his way West after his man. Husmann Visits Station at Lodi LODI (San Joaquin Co.), October 19 - Professor George C. HUSMANN, pomologist in charge of the viticultural investigations of the United States, was in Lodi yesterday pursuing his investigations of the vines of the Lodi station located on the LAURENCE property. Of the ninety-four varieties of vines in the Lodi station, Professor HUSMANN tells what kind flourish the best in the sandy loam soils. There are certain varieties that do not do as well here as others, and Professor HUSMANN is sending samples of Lodi soil to the Government Bureau of Soil to determine what soil properties are needed, if any. The viticultural stations throughout California which are under Uncle Samís supervision are maintained solely for the benefit of the vineyardist, the principal feature being to determine adaptability to soil and climate. During Professor HUSMANNís brief visit here, he expressed himself as well pleased with the output from this section, and said that the resistant stock varieties were doing well.

Tuesday, October 16, 1906 Page 6 Switchman Falls From a Trestle HORNBROOK (Siskiyou Co.), October 16 - H.E. BOSTON, a switchman in the employ of the Southern Pacific Company, fell through ìDollar Hideî trestle, located a short distance east of Steinman, at an early hour this morning and was seriously injured. It is claimed that an air hose burst under one of the cars, and BOSTON, who was not conversant with the locality, and who did not know that the train had stopped on a trestle, in the darkness stepped off the caboose and fell a distance of over 20 feet to the ground.

WOMAN PUTS END TO SUNLESS LIFE Bitter Childhood, Followed By Miserable Marriage, Proves Too Great A Burden And Death Is Sought LOYALTON (Sierra Co.), October 16 - With no remembrance of a single day of sunshine, and less prospect of one to come, Mrs. Tillie ROY, of Hortonís Camp, decided Saturday that death by carbolic acid would be preferable to life with a man who would not work and who would insist on using all her hard-earned money to buy liquor. Mrs. ROY had lived in this valley for several years, having been employed as cook at several different camps, and all who knew her speak of her as a kind and industrious woman, who made friends wherever she was known. About fifteen years ago, when not yet quite 16 years of age, she was married to ROY, who, instead of being a protector and supporter has steadily refused to work, except now and then for a few days, and has demanded the greater part of her wages which he spent for drink. A short time ago he obtained $15, saying he had a job at Quincy, but most of the money was spent before he left Beckwith. In some way he made his way to Quincy, where he spent his time as usual in loafing around the saloons until last Monday when he returned to the camp where his wife and her little boys were at work. He was very cruel to her at times, and the officers have been called in to prevent him doing her personal injury. It is supposed that his abuse in an attempt to obtain more money led to her suicide as he admitted at the inquest that they had been quarreling. A few days ago Mrs. ROY, in a confidential talk with Mrs. HORTON, told of her early life with an unkind step-mother, and then of her later life as the wife of ROY, and said: ìI do not know of one day of sunshine in all my life. But none suspected that she contemplated self-destruction. Saturday noon, with ROYís assistance, she had nearly completed the dish washing and then stepped outside, where she was found a few minutes later with her mouth horribly burned by the cruel acid, which soon did its deadly work. When the men at the camp learned what had happened, there was great indignation against ROY, and it is said but little encouragement would have been needed to have led the men to deal severely with him. Mrs. ROY leaves four boys, the oldest about 14, and the youngest 3 or 4 years old. DIES OF INJURIES CAUSED BY BOY Team Frightened By Youth Swerves And Driver Is Thrown To Ground And Trampled By Horses LOYALTON (Sierra Co.), October 16 - John William WALKER died Saturday night as a result of an accident with a lumber team on the streets of Loyalton last Wednesday afternoon. WALKER was in the employ of the Sunset Lumber Company, which has mills a few miles west of here, and was engaged in hauling lumber to the railroad at this place. On Wednesday he was coming in with a load, and was within about two blocks of the track when he was met by a boy riding rapidly on horseback. His team became frightened and whirled short-around. WALKER, in trying to stop them, sprang from the wheel horse, which he was riding, but was knocked down by one of the animals, which immediately stepped with both front feet on his breast. WALKER was taken at once to the Sierra Sanitarium, where Dr. LAUGHLIN found that several ribs had been broken. He lingered in great pain until Saturday night, and it was thought there was some hope of recovery until about 5 oíclock when he suddenly died. As near as can be learned, Mr. WALKER was a native of the State of Maine, but he leaves no relatives in this part of the country and very little is known about him. SEVEN INCHES OF MAN'S SKULL GONE Held On Charge Of Attempted Murder, Prisoner, Who Has Had Eleven Operations On Head, May Go Free MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), October 16 - The correct name of the young man who on the 2d inst slashed a fellow workman named Tim McCarty across the abdomen with a razor, inflicting an ugly gash, while the latter was standing in front of a saloon bar, is William HERRON. When arrested he gave the name of Larry DEMPSEY. In Police Court last evening Judge RAISH presiding, HERRON was given his preliminary examination. Several witnesses gave graphic descriptions of the manner in which HERRON stealthily approached his victim from the rear and laid open his abdomen with the razorís blade. Judge RAISH held HERRON to answer before the Superior Court on a charge of attempt to murder, with bonds at $3000. Since HERRONís incarceration, the officers have made the discovery that a goodly portion of his skull over one ear is gone. There is a space over seven inches in circumference that has no bone covering. The prisoner says he underwent eleven operations in a San Francisco hospital, and lost a portion of the gray matter at the time the skull portion was being removed. His counsel will no doubt take advantage of this condition when the matter comes on for trial in the higher tribunal. HERRONís victim is recovering from the wounds, and will soon be in condition to appear as a witness. Mother of Mrs. Le Doux Is to Marry STOCKTON (San Joaquin Co.), October 16 - Mrs. Mary A.

The newcomers came here with the intention of establishing a sanitarium, and had gone to San Francisco to obtain material for such a construction when the great calamity occurred. No trace could be found of them and it was the general belief that they were killed at that place. But fortunately they took a through train to Los Angeles, where they have been since. They will return here later and establish the proposed sanitarium. Fail to Identify Victim of Train REDDING (Shasta Co.), October 11 - Coroner BASSETT was not able to determine at the investigation held yesterday the name of the man killed by the train Tuesday night in the Redding yards, as told in The Bee of Wednesday. John DOWLER and Edmon WRIGHT were passengers from Weed to Redding on the same train. They had considerable conversation with the stranger and he told then his name. Strangely enough, neither could recall his name after death. The unknown man was a cement worker on the railroad culverts and was in the employ of Erickson & Peterson, contractors on the Weed Railroad, up to Monday noon. He claimed that he was a foreman, but Erickson & Peterson had no foreman who quit work Monday. He had been drinking very heavily. The body was buried yesterday afternoon and the man\rquote s true name may never be known, though a laborer from Weed who saw the disfigured remains yesterday said he thought the man\rquote s name was WILEY.

DASH DOWN STEEP MOUNTAIN ROAD Stage Horses Run Away With Load Of People, One Of Whom May Die, Two Are Severely Injured And Five Bruised. ALTURAS (Modoc Co.), October 11 - The entire stage load of passengers on the Madeline-Lakeview stage was thrown into the ditch Tuesday and all were injured. Three people were badly hurt, one probably fatally. Mrs. Thomas FLUKE of Lakeview is the one most severely hurt. T.C. HENDERSON and a man named McCALL, who were way billed from Alturas, are also suffering from severe injuries. The other five - Miss FLUKE, J. FLUKE, W.H. DICK, Albert OLESON and T.C. HENDERSON - are more or less bruised, but in no danger. The accident occurred about twelve miles north of Alturas, between 7 and 8 o'clock Tuesday morning. The place is known as Thomas Creek. Leading down the road is a long, steep hill, at the bottom of which is the almost dry bed of the creek. The team got out of the control of the driver and charged down this declivity at breakneck speed. The surface of the road has become worn and roughened through the long, dry Summer, and every jolt of the wheels rocked and tossed the stage, with its ever-increasing velocity. On striking the bottom the vehicle was capsized and smashed to splinters and its load scattered with the disastrous results above told. The driver, Albert HOUSTON, was an inexperienced man and was unable to stop or guide the maddened team. The practice of the present stage company in putting new men in charge of stage teams has been criticized and came near resulting in a dangerous runaway at Alturas a couple of weeks ago. Dr. COPPEDGE of Alturas was quickly summoned to the scene of the wreck and the injured were removed to nearby houses. The physician is doing all possible to alleviate the suffering of the injured. A.P. CROSS of Los An geles is proprietor of the route, having taken charge July 1st . He inaugurated the change from two to four horses on the stages from Madeline to Alturas. Aged Miner Robbed of All His Savings QUINCY (Plumas Co.), October 11 - The thief who robbed Costa, an old miner, on the East Branch of the Feather River, of $1000 in gold dust and nuggets, is still at liberty. It appears that COSTA had a young Italian working for him who decided to quit. After he had left, COSTA looked for his gold, which was secreted about the cabin in a place known only to himself and his employe, but to his surprise it was gone. He immediately reported the matter, but as yet no trace has been found of the missing man. COSTA is a hard-working miner over 60 years of age, and was anticipating a visit to his old home, intending to return and spend his old age in quiet amidst the scenes of his lifelong labors. He is one of the earliest settlers here, but until recently had little success. Transcribed by Betty Loose ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

Crutcher Home for Burial; Death of John M. Clark; Miss Belle Temby Quits Teaching to Marry; Wm. Grant Injured; Death Jacob Zanig & Other News Article: The Evening Bee Sacramento, Cal. Tuesday, October 9, 1906 Page 6 Yreka Gun Club Elects Officers YREKA (Siskiyou Co.), October 9 - The Yreka Gun Club held its first meeting of the season last week to elect officers for the coming season, as follows: C.J. LUTTRELL, President; R.J. NIXON, Vice-President; P.J. CHAPPELLE, Secretary and Treasurer; Directors - J.E. WHEELER, R.S. TAYLOR, J.R. RAYNES, Dr. O.B. SPALDING and Allen NEWTON. They closed with a membership of thirty-five, that being the limit. The club has been in existence for six years. Last year it took a lease for three years on the Big and Little Spring property about eighteen miles from Yreka, composing about 500 acres. This ground is considered one of the best in Superior California for duck, quail and snipe. During December and January the Canvasbacks and Mallards come in in large flocks and the shooting is excellent. Three years ago the members sowed a quantity of wild rice which makes the springs a great feeding place. Judging from the reports of numerous bands of both mountain and valley quail seel, the shooting ought to be very good this season. Clout's Trial QUINCY (Plumas Co.), October 9 - The trial of A. CLOUT began in the Superior Court yesterday. CLOUT is charged with an assault with a deadly weapon upon the person of George LE VALLEY, formerly of Marysville. The affray took place at Beckwith in July and CLOUT was bound over on $3000 bonds, which he succeeded in getting a few weeks ago. CLOUT is the manager of a resort in Beckwith and it was at this place that the affray took place. Died in the South WOODLAND (Yolo CO.), October 9 - Word has been received in this city of the death of Mrs. Oscar CURINS, near Los Angeles. Her maiden name was Alice WILSON, and she formerly resided in Woodland with her father, the late Dr. WILSON. Her husband, one little daughter and one sister, Miss Ethel WILSON, survive her. The body was brought to San Francisco and interred in the Cypress Lawn Cemetery. Fire Ruins Home OROVILLE (Butte Co.), October 9 - The residence of M.T. SPARKS was destroyed by fire early yesterday morning and the house and contents were a total loss. The loss is estimated at $5000, with no insurance. The cause of the fire is unknown. WEBER ESTATE TO HIS AUNT Will Of Youthful Murderer Filed For Probate Shows Little Property, But Litigation Is Likely To Follow AUBURN (Placer Co.), October 9 - The last will and testament of Adolph WEBER was filed with the County Clerk yesterday afternoon. The instrument is one of characteristic briefness. It is an olographic will, and bequeaths all the young man's property to an aunt. It is as follows: "Auburn, California, July 5, 1906 - I, Adolph Weber, do hereby bequeath and devise to Mrs. W.P. SCOTT, of Soulsbyville, Tuolumne Co., California, all my estate, both real and personal, and I do hereby revoke all former wills made by me. I hereby appoint Fred S. STEVENS my executor. ADOLPH J. WEBER" The estate at Weber's death showed a valuation of only $3700. From the executor's list of the property, the WEBER homestead is included, so it is evident that the transfer of the property to Ferdinand RECHENMACHER, mentioned in yesterday's Bee, will not be acknowledged, and probably a suit between the parties will follow, as predicted. At the time of the murder of the WEBER family, the estate was estimated to be worth from $50,000 to $60,000. It is reported here and generally believed that WEBER transferred $12,000 in cash to STEVENS, his attorney in fact, but for what purpose is not known. The money may have been a gift to STEVENS or intended for others. At any rate, it is probable the cash transfer, if it was made, will lead to bitter litigation. WEBER never seemed inclined to leave money to any of his relatives. What little real estate he had he figured must go to some of his close kin, and the will leaving it to an aunt followed. FIRES HOUSE AND SHOOTS HIMSELF Aged Man Makes Doubly Sure Of Death, Charred Remains Being Found Near Gun In Ruins of Home YREKA (Siskiyou Co.), October 9 - Pearly C. WHITE of Callahan committed suicide Sunday. He was 75 years old and had lived on his little farm for years. From reports sent to Doctor O'CONNELL, the Coroner, WHITE first set fire to his home, and then when it had got a good start, he entered, took his shotgun and killed himself. The barrel of the gun was found near the charred remains. Some of his neighbors saw WHITE's building on fire and rushed to help him put out the flames. Before they arrived they heard a shot fired from the inside of the house and on arriving found the fire had such headway that they could not enter. There does not seem to have been any reason for the suicide. Doctor O'CONNELL deputized Justice HAYDEN to hold the inquest. Dedicate Hall TRINITY CENTER (Trinity Co.), October 9 - The Odd Fellows dedicated yesterday afternoon a new hall just completed at a cost of $2600 to replace the building destroyed by fire a little over a year ago. The exercises were attended by Odd Fellows and friends from throughout the northeastern part of the county, and several came from as distant points as Weaverville, Hayfork and Douglas City. A ball was given in the new hall in the evening. The new building is a two-story structure with lodgeroom above and dancing hall below. Off For the East PLACERVILLE (El Dorado Co.), October 9 - A farewell reception was given in the parlors of the Methodist Episcopal Church last evening in honor of Mr. and Mrs. A.W. FULLER, who will depart to-morrow morning for their home in Danvers, Mass. Mr. FULLER is a native of the Bay State, but his wife is a Californian, and was formerly Miss Effie UPTON. Two of her brothers are still living here - Will O. UPTON, foreman of the Mountain Democrat and a member of the local band and orchestra; and Charles Elmer UPTON, a writer and journalist who has lately written and published a local historical work "Pioneers of El Dorado." Home For Burial WOODLAND (Yolo CO.), October 9 - The body of the late Hugh E. CRUTCHER, who was drowned in Payett Lake, Idaho, last July, was brought here for interment yesterday.

His term will expire the middle of this month, and an officer from Santa Barbara will be on hand to take him into custody. Page 7 DUG AND TENDED HIS OWN GRAVE Eccentric Character Passes Away At County Hospital And Is Buried In Place He Provided For Himself. GRASS VALLEY (Nevada Co.), October 9 - Few men dig their own grave, keep it in trim year after year, and then calmly wait for the final summons, but this is just what John M. CLARK, who died Sunday at the County Hospital, did. CLARK was a peculiar genius, eccentric to a degree, and had made his home at the county institution for several years, being too old to work. Strangely enough he was an old mining partner of the late Judge HOLBROOK, whose death at the same institution The Bee chronicled a few days ago. When young men they mined together above here and both owned rich claims. CLARK is reputed to have made a "barrel of money" but let it slip away from him until old age found him helpless and penniless. Several years ago, as a last resort, he went to the County Hospital, and was followed not long afterward by his old crony. CLARK dug his own grave, and seemed to take a delight in keeping it neat and trim. The surrounding ground he carefully kept clear of grass and weeds and would often walk out and look at the hole which would one day hold his body. This afforded him a kind of grim pleasure, though to most men it would have given the horrors. It is even said of him that he made his own coffin, though this has not been confirmed. He was a native of Maine, aged 84 years, and came to this county in the very early fifties. Rev. F.A. LAMB, of the Methodist Church, officiated at his funeral . Report Discovery of Big Asbestos Ledge NEVADA CITY (Nevada Co.), October 9 - What promises to be one of the richest finds yet made in the county is the discovery of an immense ledge of asbestos near the town of Washington, not many miles above here. J.T. DILLON and F.T. SMITH arrived here yesterday with magnificent samples of the mineral. It was subjected to the most rigid fire tests, which it stood perfectly, being declared by men well versed in this mineral to be as pure an article as they had ever seen. The ledge is located at the north side of the South Yuba and is nearly 220 feet wife. Within this formation are any number of stringers of the finest kind of asbestos and it is the belief that with depth they all come together and form a magnificent bed of this valuable article. The spot is easy to access and the property can be worked at minimum cost. Experts will be taken to the scene to give an opinion of the discovery. Quits Teaching and Is Soon to Marry GRASS VALLEY (Nevada Co.), October 9 - The City Board of Education at last night's meeting accepted the resignation of Miss Belle TEMBY, who has for a number of years been one of the leading teachers in the city schools, and very popular. The vacancy was temporarily filled by the appointment of Mrs. William GRANT. Miss TEMBY is soon to change occupations and instead of wielding the book and rule will toy with the frying pan and the kitchen range, as she is to wed a prominent young man. The announcement has not yet been officially given out. The place of R.J. FITZGERALD, who is out campaigning as Democratic candidate for County superintendent of Schools, was filled for a month by the appointment of Mrs. J.M. ROBBINS. FELL BENEATH WAGON WHEELS William Grant Has Narrow Escape From Instant Death and Now Lies In Precarious Condition CHICO (Butte Co.), October 9 - William GRANT, a farmer residing north of Chico, was seriously injured here yesterday afternoon by being run over by both the front and rear wheels of a wagon loaded with 5600 pounds of prunes, and now lies in a precarious condition at a local hospital. Thos. STILE narrowly escaped death by jumping free of the wheels. GRANT was engaged in hauling boxes of prunes from the STILE place, north of Chico, to the Chico Fruit Company's packing plant in Chico, and accompanied by Thomas STILE had reached the corner of Second and Broadway Streets in this city. He attempted to cross the street car track diagonally and the front wheels were thrown quickly to one and then the other side. GRANT, who was riding on the right side of the wagon, was thrown, with several boxes of prunes, under the wheels on the left side. He fell face downward, and before he could extricate himself both the front and rear wheels of the wagon had passed over his back and the lower part of his chest. He was taken to a local hospital for treatment. When an examination was made it was found that no bones were broken, but that serious internal injuries had resulted and the last reports from his bedside were to the effect that he is in a precarious condition and may not survive. That he was not instantly killed by the heavy load is remarkable, but that he was not is due probably to the fact that he was face downward at the time. Thomas STILE who was seated on the left at the time was thrown onto the tongue of the wagon and across the traces. Here he managed to keep balanced until he could swing free of the wheels. During the time he was lying on the tongue and traces one of the horses was kicking viciously, but STILE remained unharmed owing to the fact that he was so close to the horse. His escape was miraculous however. At the same time that GRANT and STILE were thrown from the wagon, several boxes of prunes fell, scaring the horses who started to run, swerving rapidly to the right. Fully half of the load of prunes was scattered along the street before the horses were caught. Feese Sentenced LODI (San Joaquin Co.), October 9 - S.N. FEESE, the local blacksmith, whose trial has been going on for three or four months in Stockton for having attempted to wrong eleven-year-old Florence BAEY, was sentenced yesterday to serve twelve years in Folsom, the maximum penalty being fourteen years. When ordered to stand up while judgment was pronounced, FEESE made no statement or showed any emotion whatever. The defendant\rquote s attorneys will no doubt try to appeal the case. Gold From Alaska LODI (San Joaquin Co.), October 9 - Frank J. LEASE recently returned from Nome, where he has been looking after his claims near that place. Yesterday morning LEASE left for the Selby Smelting Works with $26,000 in gold dust, which was his clean-up for this season's work. LEASE felt perfectly safe in carrying his valuable metal in two shot sacks and a grip weighing in all about 100 pounds. NEVADA STATE NEWS Aged Woman Victim of Thug's Assault RENO (Nev.), October 9 - The police are investigating the case of Mrs. Nellie C. FULLER, aged about 60 years, who was knocked down by a club, frightfully beaten and, according to her story, dragged into an alley and assaulted in the northwestern portion of the city. Several persons were aroused by her screams and saw her assailant clubbing her, but he ran when they appeared on the street. A stranger then appeared and carried her to her room on Center Street, five blocks away. He left almost immediately and the police believe this stranger had something to do with the crime, as he gave a false name and address. Mrs. FULLER lost her purse containing 40 cents. She says the motive was robbery and criminal assault. Her head is badly cut and her collar bone broken. Ruined by Disaster San Franciscan Dies RENO (Nev.), October 9 - Jacob ZANZIG, who was a well-to-do hardware merchant in San Francisco before the earthquake and fire, is dead in this city, having passed away at the County Hospital whither he went a few weeks ago in a penniless condition. ZANZIG carried no insurance and was left without a cent. He refused to inform New York relatives of his condition even when he became ill. Not Hurt Aged Man VIRGINIA CITY (Nev.), October 9 - L.H. BOWERS, aged 60 years, fell down a 50 foot shaft in Ramsey mining district yesterday and strange to say was not seriously hurt. The shaft is vertical and he struck heavily on the bottom. Fellow workmen thought he was killed, but when they rushed to his side he arose to his feet and said he was not hurt much. He was taken to Reno for treatment, as it was feared that trouble might arise later. BOWERS is one of the veteran miners of this section.

NOT SUICIDE, PROBABLY – It is said that the death of the Frenchman, CHAUNETTE, mentioned in Saturday's 'Independent,' was not caused by taking poison, but was the result of exhaustion and over drinking. He is reported to have traveled all the way from Campo Seco the same day (Friday), without eating, and carrying a heavy pack of blankets and clothing. He drank a large quantity of water, however, but the last dose, which proved to be more than nature could withstand, was a drink of lager beer, which he took soon after his arrival in this city. The body was taken in charge by Coroner Blake. FINE ANTELOPE – Messrs. D.A. MEADER, George TILGHMAN and Wm. ATHEARN returned on Saturday from a 3 days' hunt on the plains in the vicinity of Graysonville, about 75 miles up the San Joaquin river.

GILMORE breathed his last in less than an hour after the occurrence. There was considerable excitement among the citizens when the facts became known, and HARVEY, who rushed from the scene of blood, was quickly apprehended and lodged in the iron cells of the town jail. There was some talk of taking summary proceedings with HARVEY. >>TUESDAY, 9 JUL 1867<< INFORMATION WANTED – A letter dated at Cuba, Alleghany county, New York, June 13th, has been received by us, asking information relative to one Horace P.

He brought with him from the Bay yesterday, 23 French merino bucks, form 5 to 8 months old, which he will start with on the steamer 'Tulare' this afternoon, for his home beyond Visalia. These lambs are of the original stock imported by Mr. PATTERSON, and were raised by Mr. BLACO, of Centerville, Alameda county. Mr. WHITE informs us that he has raised this same stock for 2 years, and is more than satisfied with his success. SERIOUSLY ILL – We learn that Mr. SMALLFIELD, of the firm of Dohrmann & Smallfield, is not expected to recover from an illness contracted recently. He is at the Bay and his family went down yesterday. BY STATE TELEGRAPH, San Francisco, July 10 – Judge Dwinelle has granted Angelo BEFFA a divorce from his wife, Mary BEFFA; Isabel COFFEY a divorce from her husband M. Elizraden COFFEY. >>FRIDAY, 12 JUL 1867<< BY STATE TELEGRAPH, San Francisco, July 11 – This morning at 1 o'clock a woman named Selena BULET was shot by some unknown man in a house corner of Waverly place and Washington street. It appears that deceased, who is one of the unfortunate class who congregate in that neighborhood, and lived on the 2nd floor of a small frame house, was shot by some unknown man who must have been sharing her room. The 1st alarm was caused by a single shot, and immediately afterwards by the cry "My God I'm dying." Kadish POURCEFF, a lodger in the house, who was in bed in a room above, heard the shot and found the woman setting up in her bed alone, bleeding profusely from her neck and mouth. She told him to bring a doctor, she had been shot. He did so, but before attendance could be obtained she was dead. The murderer had only a few seconds to make his escape, and left behind him 1 boot, his coat, vest, hat, and neck tie. He escaped by the rear into the yard and thence to the street. It was dark and the pursuit though so quickly on the track was futile. The deceased was a native of France and 48 years old. She had $1500 in the Savings Bank. The Coroner says the shot entered the right shoulder and glanced between the skin and bone towards the neck and cut an artery, causing death in a few seconds. -------------------------------------------------------- POSTAL AFFAIRS – The following appointments of postmasters have recently been made: Daniel E. HAMBLEN, Yuba City, Sutter county, Cal. L.C. TUTTLE, Sherwood Valley, Mendocino county, Cal. Lyman W. PIPER, Anthony House, Nevada county, Cal. Henry S. MEAD, Castroville, Monterey county, Cal.

He had been allowed to work in the out-yard cleaning up, and finding there was nothing to hinder, concluded to walk off. He has not been heard from. SHOCKING ACCIDENT, Marysville, July 12 – A shocking and painful accident occurred at the Marysville flouring mills yesterday. O. SALADY, 2nd miller, was oiling machinery on the 2nd story when his working shirt was caught by an upright shaft which commenced drawing his body towards it. He instantly took off the flaps but in so doing his sleeve caught and winding around the shaft broke his arm at the wrist. The unfortunate man then made a desperate effort to tear himself away from the shaft which threatened to crush his body, bracing his feet against an iron bolt. By a desperate effort he wrenched his left arm off at the wrist tearing and breaking muscles and flesh up to the elbow. He was taken to his residence between E and F streets, where amputation of the limb above the elbow was performed. The unfortunate man has a wife and 3 children dependent on his daily wages for support. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

The gritty young man was held down with one leg crushed and the other severely burned for fully fifteen minutes, yet still remained conscious and directed the work of rescue. He was brought to this city for treatment and it is not known whether the crushed leg can be saved or not. HELPENSTINE was driving a large traction engine from one farm to another and was compelled to cross the Rock Creek bridge which he considered safe. The huge engine was on the bridge when the latter collapsed without notice, the engine and water tank "buckling up" and caching HELPHENSTINE between them before he could jump. His left leg was crushed up against the large cog wheel, his right leg was pressed against the hot boiler. (Rest of article cut off.) HAPPENINGS AROUND THE BAY Policy Holders Busy - The large policy-holders appointed a Committee of seven at a meeting held yesterday to advise with and assist the officers of the Firemen's Fund Insurance Company and the Home Fire and Marine and Pacific Underwriters' companies in carrying out the proposed plan of settlement of losses. The Committee is headed by Henry T. SCOTT, and includes Percy T. MORGAN, E.R. LILLENTHAL, Charles HOLBROOK, I.W. HELLMNA, Jr., F.W. CAN SICKLEN and Joseph D. GRANT.

Mrs. GURNEE is making preparations to contest the action instituted by her husband, and says her husband is continually drunk. Mann in trouble - An assumption by Harry MANN of power delegated to his attorney in a divorce case has cost MANN his liberty for a short time at least, and may result in a term in jail.

MANN collected the money personally - hence the trouble. S.P.

COLLINS appeared to explain some newly discovered technicalities in connection with his conviction on the charge of perjury, and made an ineffectual attempt to be released from custody. Page 12 AFFIDAVITS POUR IN TO SAVE WEBER San Francisco Policemen Swear Reputation of Carr Is Bad Defense in Celebrated Case Makes Further Attack on Prosecution's Principal Witness Three affidavits were filed by F.P. TUTTLE, counsel for Adolph WEBER, convicted of the murder of his mother and now under reprieve, with Governor PARDEE to-day. The affidavits are made by George DUFFY, William COLEMAN and Michael BRADY, members of the San Francisco police force, and all swear Henry CARR's reputation is bad. CARR is the pawnbroker who testified he sold WEBER the pistol with which the crime was committed. DUFFY deposes he has seen CARR entice girls of tender years into his shop, but when he would enter the place, CARR would have them secreted. He declares in his affidavit that he is convinced CARR's intentions were sinister. COLEMAN deposes that he has watched CARR's transactions with criminals and thugs, and believes "he would do anything for a five-dollar piece or less." BRADY deposes that he knows of CARR having taught little boys to steal, and that when he remonstrated with him CARR told him he (Carr) was not out for his health. BRADY adds that CARR's reputation for truth, honesty and veracity is bad. Governor PARDEE is still at Lake Tahoe, but will probably return next Tuesday, when he will again take up the WEBER case. The reprieve granted WEBER will expire next Thursday. Tried to Dispose of Stolen Rig SUISUN (Solano Co.), September 22 - A young man giving his name as George OLSEN, drove a horse and buggy into town last evening and soon after offered to trade the buggy and harness for a saddle at a livery stable.

Constable DOWNING has communicated with Sheriff GRIFFIN of Yolo in regard to the case. When first arrested OLSEN told a story to the effect that the rig belonged to him and that he resided a few miles in the country, giving a name that was not known in this section. Sister Camillus Called by Death RED BLUFF (Tehama Co.), September 22 - Sister CAMILLUS died at the Convent of the Sister of Mercy in this city last night.

BROWN SECURES RELIEF FROM SUFFERING BY DECREE Mental Agony Induces Him to Get a Divorce From Wife for Whose Sake He Divorced a Previous Spouse On the testimony of Dr. J.S. BROWN, that he had been slapped and cuffed and sworn at, and reduced to the last ultimate perilous edge of self-destruction by the demands of his wife for money, Judge HUGHES granted him an interlocutory degree of divorce to-day from Lucy BROWN, who stated through the lips of her lawyer that with such a verdict she would be well pleased. Attorney J.S. COPELAND testified that he had heard screams issuing from Dr. BROWN's office above the Hoffman House Saloon, and had rushed up to prevent destruction of life. He testified that he found Mrs. BROWN in no immediate danger, as she was wielding a newspaper upon her husband's visage and routing him all over the office, while screaming at the same time that her life was being attempted. Dr. BROWN himself testified that he had been the meek recipient of abuse and torture from his wife for a long time, that he had been slapped and cursed and struck both physically and financially, until human nature could bear it no longer and he was reduced to the melancholy contemplation of ending it all at one fell swoop. The mental agony had been so fearful that sleep had left him. And finally his wife's cruelty had brought him to the painful extremity of applying for a divorce. A letter from Mrs. BROWN to the doctor himself pungently expresses her disesteem for him, and also states that she would be supremely beatified if only the doctor would keep his physiognomy out of her line of vision and not seek an interview with her. She states that her greatest joy in life is in the doctor's long-continued absence. Dr. Sylvester BROWN testified that his wife was extremely expensive, almost exorbitant, and a luxury, for which he could no longer afford to put up. She had cost him in a short time, he asserted, between $5000 and $6000 in cold, hard, solid cash. Dr. B.F. HAMMELL testified that Mrs. BROWN was happy and cheerful when her demands for money were granted; otherwise she was gloomy and morose. Dr. BROWN, he declared, had long borne his cross in sorrow and silence, but he had been finally forced to seek an escape from his woes by recourse to a divorce suit. Dr. BROWN was successful in freeing himself from the embarrassing trammels of wedlock, two or three years ago, when he divorced a deserted wife to make way for his marriage with the Mrs. BROWN from whose cuffs and demands he was this morning liberated. Died at Asylum MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), September 22 - Word was received here to-day that P.N. CORCORAN, a former resident of Marysville, died at the State Hospital at Stockton. His wife was summoned yesterday to his bedside. He was committed about a year ago, and was afterwards discharged as cured. He became irrational again and was committed again about three weeks ago. Shot by Constable HAYDEN HILL (Lassen Co.), September 22 - Henry KORF, a notorious character of this place, was shot and killed yesterday morning by Constable HIGHETZ. KORF had been drinking and firing his revolver (not legible). When the Constable came to sight KORF drew hi weapon upon him, but HIGHETZ was ready with his revolver and opened fire first. He shot KORF through the head. Transcribed by Betty Loose ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

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.

NEWITSKY FATAL AFFRAY - A fatal affray occurred at Grizzly Bend, nine miles below Chico, lately, between two men named respectively Daniel CASEY and Frank BIRDSALL, in the course of which the former was stabbed several times by the latter, and so severely that he died the next morning. The difficulty was about some land on which CASEY was located. BIRDSALL gave himself up at Chico, and was held to bail in $1,000 to answer the charge of manslaughter. He says he was unconscious of having inflicted the fatal blow. SENT UP - William FITZPATRICK, lately arrested in Sacramento for cutting night watchman BROWN of the Tehama House, San Francisco, has been identified there, and sent up to the Court of Sessions for trial, bail having been demanded in the sum of $1,000. MATTERS AT AURORA - A correspondent of the Union, writing from this place, March 30th, says: Last night again, two stages came in, with twenty-six passengers, and it is a marvel to the citizens where they all find lodgings and accommodation. The Wide West Company have been digging a well for water for their mill, for the past two weeks. They now have it about completed, with twelve to fifteen feet of water, which is supposed to be ample for their purposes. The mill commenced crushing their rock this morning, and works admirably. It is far the best mill in the district, and has twenty stamps (straight battery), and forty Walekce paws, with the most approved machinery. They are running a tunnel to their ledge, so as to bring the rock direct to the batteries. The Antelope mill is running constantly, crushing rock from their ledge, of which they are taking out an abundance. The Bodie mill has a contract to crush 1,000 tons of rock from the Bodie Consolidation No. 1. The Union mill is crushing rock from the Pond ledge, which yields from forty to seventy dollars to the ton, and they have hardly got their ledge opened. Gregroyís mill is crushing from the Sunbeam ledge, which is also scarcely opened. Wintersí mill has been sold to the Del Norte Consolidation Company. Last night, when the stage arrived from Carson, news was brought in that the previous evening as two horses were standing in front of Jack WRIGHTís, the stage station on the east branch of Walker river, a man mounted one of them and started at full speed for this place. Two men from the station mounted horses and rode in pursuit, overtaking him near Sweetwater, about thirty miles distant. They called to him to stop, and which he paid no attention, when one of them drew a pistol and shot him. The person who fired the pistol took off the manís coat and put it under his head, and left him. As the stage passed, twenty-four hours after, the corpse was lying by the roadside. The dead man is a stranger. The Coroner of Mono county was notified of the fact, but he decided it was out of his jurisdiction and declined attending to the case. [ The individual referred to above as having been shot is supposed to be James SEARS, whose case was lately mentioned in the Union. - Eds. Union.] The Virginia Union has the following version of this affair: A communication to the Virginia Daily Union, and dated at Wrightís Bridge, March 30th, tells us that while a traveler was at dinner in Mayburyís Station, a man boldly stole his horse and rode off. The traveler went to Wrightís Bridge, on the road between Genoa and Aurora, and having told his story, young RODGERS mounted a horse and started in pursuit of the thief. He came up with him at Sweetwater Ranch, and commanded him to stop; but he rode the faster, and RODGERS gave chase, calling upon him to stop; but failing in her persuasion, he drew his pistol and shot the thief, killing him almost instantly. The name of the man killed is not known. RODGERS is justified by all the people living in the section of country where he belongs. The Departure of the Orizaba - The following named passengers sailed for Panama in this steamer April 3d: Mrs. John BARTON, child and servant; Mrs. John FOWLER, two children and servant; John W. HENDRIE, Silas W. JOHNSON, James G. STEELE, John HOOPER, E.B. WILLIAMS, Mrs. M. DU PRATT, G.C. BAILEY, J.N. BAILEY, David PORTER, Joseph W. GLOVER, Joshua BLENN, George KINGSBURY, Mr. CARVER, Mrs. LIMBACKER and two children; Geo. W. PENNY, Mrs. Rufina FOSTER, Arthur S. BARTHOLEMEW, A.M. MITCHELL, Mrs. Ellen CASSIDY, J.J. MORNER, R.R. PROVINES, L.L. LAURENS. Arrested on suspicion - A suspicious character named Jack HAMILTON was arrested a day or two ago by officer BURKE. He had sold to Dr. SHAUG, for $3, a case of surgical instruments, which are of much greater value. The case is made of black morocco, lined with dark velvet. The instruments, although considerable used, are of excellent quality. HAMILTON also had in his possession when arrested four door keys, a knife, a bottle of morphine and a copy in a well written hand of the song ìDublin Bay.î HAMILTON was arrested several years ago by officer BURKE on a charge of robbing a man named SHELL, on Ninth street, between G and H. He was also suspected of stealing the sum of $300 from John HOUSMAN some time ago. He claims to have become possessed of the surgical instruments honestly at Alcatraz Island, where he says he was employed as a hospital steward. ACCIDENT - On Saturday forenoon, D. Virgil GATES was singularly and severely injured on K street, between Second and Third streets. He was riding along the street on horseback, and encountered a team stretched across the street in front of HARRISí liquor store. GATES being determined to exercise his right to the right of way through the street, jumped his horse across the chains in front of the wheel horses. The animal made a bold leap, but was so caught by one of the chains as to be thrown heavily, with his rider, to the ground. Both man and horse appeared at first to be killed, but both subsequently revived. GATESí nose was crushed, and his face was otherwise injured. He was removed to the store of his brother, in the next block, and cared for. He was represented last evening to be doing well. THROWN OFF - A boy named William HAYES, about nine years old, whose avocation is that of driving a span of goats around town, was yesterday thrown from a horse on Seventh street, between J and K streets. The horse became frightened and ran some distance down Seventh street before the boy fell off. In falling he was kicked or struck in the right leg, but was not seriously injured. The horse was soon caught, and the boy, with the promise to ìjerk the bloody mouth off of himî if he didnít behave better, remounted and rode off, taking a companion on board as a passenger. FIRE - At about half-past five oíclock last evening, the residence of S. VAN PRAAG, on H street, between Sixth and Seventh, caught fire from the stove pipe. The ceiling of one of the rooms in the house was considerably burnt, but the flames were extinguished by means of a garden hose and water conveyed in buckets, before any serious damage was done or a general alarm given. CANDIDATES - As the probabilities of the anticipated municipal election increase the names of the various candidates for office are talked of. For the position of President of the Board of Board of Trustees we hear suggested the names of William SHATTUCK, C.H. SWIFT, Robert BECK, H.O. BEATTY, J.F. MORSE and B.B. REDDING; for Police Judge, S.S. HOLL, T.W. GILMER, I.S. BROWN and L.S. TAYLOR. DUSTY - Yesterday afternoon was one of the most disagreeable on account of dust, which has been experienced in Sacramento for a long time. For several hours whirlpools of dust rendered it difficult for pedestrians to walk the streets. Many of our citizens were caught out of town in buggies and carriages, but they did not as a general thing enjoy their rides, for the cause above referred to. CHANGE OF VENUE - In the divorce suit of Mary M. HOLLAND vs. Patrick HOLLAND, commenced in San Francisco, a motion for a change of venue to Sacramento county, made by defendant, was granted a few days ago in San Francisco. DEATHS - There were eight deaths in the city during last week. Five of the deceased were adults and three minors. Three were natives of California, and one each of Ohio, Germany, Wales, Ireland and China. ARRESTS - John DOE No. 1 was arrested on Saturday by officer BROWN for assault and battery on Jane HANLEY, and John DOE No. 2 by officer CODY on a charge of drawing a deadly weapon. MURDER TRIAL - The second trial of Samuel CARKHUFF, for the murder of his uncle, S.D. CARKHUFF, is set for to-day in the District Court. TAKEN TO STOCKTON - Julius FARMER and Manuel BERGAN, two insane men, were taken to Stockton, on Saturday, by Deputy Sheriff GRIFFITH. TO BE TRIED - JACKSON and CARR, two men charged with horse stealing, will be taken to Woodland, Yolo county, this morning for trial. BY TELEGRAPH TO THE UNION Casualty - Firemenís Collation - Race - Incorporation - Divorce Case - Insanity SAN FRANCISCO, April 5th George LEWIS, a hostler, died this morning from the effects of a kick from a horse, received last Thursday. Deceased was a native of Ireland, aged thirty years. Independent Hook and Ladder Company housed the truck, recently purchased in Marysville, at midnight. The firemen partook of a collation.

A new article has been added to: http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/index.php?action=displaycat&catid=319 California Direct link to article: http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/link.php?action=detail&id=59429 Article title: The Sacramento Daily Union Article date: April 4 1863 Article description: City Intelligence; Telegraph to the Union; Silver Lode Near Dutch Flat Article: The Sacramento Daily Union Saturday, April 4, 1863 CITY INTELLIGENCE Wholesale Exhumation - About three hundred Chinese coffins, or boxes, containing the exhumed remains of deceased Chinamen, were yesterday placed on board the schooner Kay Adams, for transportation to San Francisco, preparatory to shipment to China. The packages are made of pine lumber, and vary in length from three to seven feet. Some were made of planed lumber, and others of unplaned. Each package was marked with Chinese characters - probably the name, age, etc., of the deceased. A portion of this large shipment was brought to the city by the cars, and the balance were taken from a Chinese house on I street. The remains, it is said, were exhumed in various portions of the State, and have been accumulating for several years past. No shipment of any consequence as to numbers, of this character, has taken place from Sacramento during the past three years. The remains of men only are sent back to China, those of women being deemed unworthy of preservation. Chinese Funeral - A Chinese funeral took place yesterday, the deceased being Ah CHEOW, the proprietor of a Chinese boarding house on I street. Before the funeral took place a first class Chinese lunch, designed only, however, for hungry spirits, was spread upon a table in front of the house. A roasted pig formed a prominent feature of the lay out, accompanied by roast chicken and accompaniments. The remains of the deceased were conveyed to the cemetery by a hearse, followed by a wagon containing the fare above described and several Chinese women, who, in the capacity of chief mourners, distributed along the streets through which they pushed slips of marked paper, the significance of which we are not enlightened upon. New Suit - Thomas KIMBALL commenced suit yesterday in the District Court against William RAUGHT and Amos WILBUR, for the recovery of a cargo of cordwood. The complaint states that on the 1st of April, 1862, (probably 1863 is meant), the plaintiff was the legal owner and in possession of one hundred and five cords of oak wood, the same being the cargo of the barge Widow, and worth five dollars per cord. The wood was illegally and wrongfully taken by defendants, and on the 3d of April, 1863, the restoration of said wood was demanded by plaintiff and refused by defendants. Plaintiff therefore asks that defendants be ordered and adjudged to restore said wood to plaintiff or pay the value thereof, $525, with costs of suit, etc. BY TELEGRAPH TO THE UNION Departures of the Orizaba - The ship Regulator safe - Fire - reported Gold Mine - Orders in reference to vessels - French Observance of Good Friday San Francisco, March 3d Steamship Orizaba carried only forty-five passengers all told, and $1,104,699 in treasure. The steamer carried freight valued at $11,000 for New York. A private dispatch from Boston, received at noon to day, announces the arrival of ship Regulator, heretofore reported burned. Greenbacks left off at 64. Seven or eight frame buildings at the northeast corner of Powell and Chestnut streets, owned by Dr. H.A. DAPIERRIS, were destroyed by fire between three and four oíclock this morning. As the wind was blowing, the flames were very rapid, and many of the inmates escaped only in their night clothes. The buildings were valued at $5,000; no insurance. W.V. OPPENHEIMís soap factory was consumed; loss, $2,500. The buildings were set on fire. There have been rumors afloat some days past that rich and extensive gold mines have been found in Mt. Diablo. Upwards of a thousand persons have gone from this city. There is some belief that the story was gotten up to benefit steamboat and stage interests. Notice is given at the Custom House that vessels navigating waters between Mare Island and Vallejo must show their colors in the day time, and will not be allowed to pass at night without first communicating their intentions to the commandant. The French corvette Corneille displayed her flags at half mast and fired hour guns to-day, in commemoration of Good Friday. Silver Lode Near Dutch Flat - The Dutch Flat Enquirer of April 2d has the following: It is reported, and we doubt not on good authority, that an extensive and rich silver ledge has been struck but a short distance from our town. The first point discovered was upon Cold Springs Hill, about two and a half miles from Dutch Flat. As soon as it became known, hundreds of miners and speculators rushed to the silver region, and, no doubt, with bright dreams upon their future prospects. The staking off process was immediately commenced, and in a few hours those who were fortunate enough to be first on the ground had secured for themselves and friends several thousand feet. Representations are made that two assays have been made of rock taken from his ledge, one in San Francisco and the other in Washoe, and the returns made show the yield to be, in silver, $20, and in gold, $5 per ton. If this statement be correct, no reasonable doubt can exist as to the richness and extent of the silver and gold leads in the Dutch Flat and Mountain Springs Districts.

DOTY, charged with stealing a horse form Camp Babbitt, near Visalia, the defendant was handed over to the military to be sent back to Tulare county to be tried for both grand larceny and desertion. George VAN BUREN was tried by the Court on a charge of disturbing the peace and found guilty and fined $10. The case of Mary McCARTY, charged with disturbing the peace, was continued until to-day, a trial by jury having been demanded. In the case of ______, charged with a violation of a city ordinance by killing hogs within the city limits, a demurrer was argued by their counsel, James C. GOODS. It was claimed that the defendants had the right to conduct their business regardless of local law, by virtue of a license held by them from the United States Government. The point was also raised that the ordinance was invalid, because signed by a deputy of the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors - an officer unknown to the law. The demurrer was overruled by the Court an! d cases continued until to-day, trial by jury being demanded by each defendant. In the case of John OíMEARA, who on Tuesday entered a plea of guilty to a charge of disturbing the peace, the defendant was sentenced to pay a fine of $12.50, or imprisonment at the rate of two dollars per day. Serious Accident - At about half-past three oíclock yesterday afternoon J. WINCHESTER, formerly connected with the New York press and well-known throughout California, broke his left leg at the ankle joint, at Front and I streets. He and a friend named DONEY were about to start for Nevada Territory by way of Sonora, Tuolumne county. They had stopped with a two horse wagon in front of RADCLIFFís blacksmith shop, and, having concluded business with that establishment, got into the wagon to start off. The horses, from some unknown cause, became frightened and started to run. As they were about to run up the I street embankment, WINCHESTER, anticipating an upset, jumped out. One foot caught in the front wheel, and his head struck on the hind wheel. The left ankle was badly fractured, and a gash some two inches in length was cut in the forehead. The coupling of the wagon parted and the forewheels were drawn out, letting the front end of the wagon bed down. DONEY held on to the l! ines, and was dragged out, but escaped serious injury and prevented the horses from getting off. WINCHESTER was placed in another vehicle by RADCLIFF and others, who made unsuccessful application for a room for him at the What Cheer, the Ebner House and the Orleans Hotel. On application being made to J.P. DYER, of the Union Hotel, comfortable accommodations were furnished, in which he was placed and his necessities attended to by Dr. SIMMONS. Runaway - A span of mules attached to a ranch wagon became frightened yesterday on J street near Sixth and ran furiously down the street. A span of horses attached to a milk wagon, seized with a spirit of emulation, followed suit, and both made good time to Third street. At that point the mules were brought up in turning the corner and the horses kept on to Front, neither of them doing any great damage by their achievement. Capitol Lodge, I.O.O.F. - The following Past Grands have been elected as Representatives to the Grand Lodge from capitol Lodge, No. 87, of this city, viz: J.B. HARMON, R.C. CLARK, M.M. ESTES, F.W.

No cause assigned. ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY AND MURDER - The Grass Valley National of March 26th related the following case of a most daring outrage: Tuesday evening at about half-past nine o'clock a most daring attempt at robbery was made at the residence of E. COLEMAN, of the North Star Quartz Mining Company, French Lead. COLEMAN had been to town and returned at the hour above mentioned, and while sitting in his room reading the paper some person knocked at the door, on opening which he found a pistol presented at his dead by a man in disguise. His only show was then to step behind the door, and as the robber forced his way in, COLEMAN seized him, and a scuffle ensued, during which both fell to the floor. The noise made by him attracted the attention of a companion of the robber, who, it seems, was stationed outside, and who thereupon rushed in, struck COLEMAN with a knife, and being a powerful man, dragged him off his companion, and hurling him against the wall, succeeded in stunning him for a moment, during which time they both escaped from the house. COLEMAN as soon as he recovered pursued the robbers and succeede! d in overtaking them, upon which they turned upon him and threatened to shoot him if he made any attempt at molesting them, and being without a weapon of any kind he was thus compelled to let the robbers escape. Both of the men had their faces blackened, and no doubt had followed COLEMAN from town. Their object evidently was to intimidate him, and then force him to open the Company\rquote s safe. This attempt is the more daring from the fact that all the neighboring houses had lights burning, the inmates not having retired to rest. We are happy to learn that the wound received by COLEMAN is but a slight one, the robber evidently having missed his aim. COLEMAN displayed great bravery and coolness in the affair, and with anything like an equal chance would have \ldblquote saved\rdblquote the ruffians. MARRIED In Marysville, March 26th, S.S. RUSSELL, of Pa Porte to Roxana C. McMATH of Marysville. BIRTHS In Sacramento, March 27th, the wife of Lewis SHAWL, of a daughter. In San Francisco, March 26th, the wife of George H.

SENTENCED - In the Court of Sessions, yesterday, Vincent TORTELL was arraigned for sentence for the crime of assault to do bodily injury by shooting at Sylvester PEARL, of which offense he was convicted last week. A motion of his counsel, MOORE and CURTIS, in arrest of judgement and for a new trial, was denied by the Court, and the defendant was ordered to pay a fine of $400. W.J. HOUSTON, previously convicted of assault to do bodily injury by shooting at Justice WING, of Folsom, was sentenced to pay a fine of $150. Michael KOERN, convicted of an attempt to commit arson by setting fire to the Ebner House, was asked by the Court what he had to say why sentence should not be pronounced against him. He responded in an incoherent manner, expressing his determination to have $100 for every pound of flesh lost by him, and the same amount of compensation for every wound received by him, while in service at Ebner's Hotel. He was sentenced to five years imprisonment in the State Pris! on. In the case of J. POMME, convicted of burglary, J.W. COFFROTH made a motion in arrest of judgement and for a new trial. The motion was based on the following reasons: 1st. The jury received evidence out of Court other than that resulting from a view, as provided by law. 2d. Errors of law in the Court in refusing to allow witness DEAL to testify. The motion was sustained by three affidavits, sworn to by L. HARRIS, A.D. RIGHTMIRE and G.V. DEAN, respectively alleging that E.P. FIGG had conversed with one of the jurors in relation to the keys introduced as testimony during the trial. District Attorney UPTON introduced a counter affidavit from FIGG, stating that he had no conversation with jurors, except in answer to questions asked by them. The motion for a new trial was sustained, and the defendant was remanded to the custody of the Sheriff. MURDERED BODY FOUND - At about four o'clock yesterday afternoon a human body was seen floating in the Sacramento river opposite the city. It was secured by Wm. RAUGHT, who went out for it in a boat. It proved to be the body of a Chinawoman, who had evidently been barbarously murdered. The body was entirely nude, with the exception of a scarf around the neck. During the evening, Coroner REEVES held an inquest over the body, A.A. FLINT, John QUIN, A.W. JAMISON, J.F. SUYDAM, James B. DOHERTY and Henry HEORIE acting as jurors. Two witnesses were examined as follows: "Wm. RAUGHT, being duly sworn, says: I reside in this city; about four o'clock P.M. this day I was on the levee between P and Q streets; I thought some one had fallen overboard from the wood barge; I procured a boat and went out into the river; I then saw the deceased, now before the jury, floating in the river; there was no clothing on the body, and no money or other valuables on or about the deceased; I procured a ! rope and took the body to shore and made it fast, and sent notice of the fact to the Coroner; there was a sash made of hair, which was around the waist; I found a gash on the back part of the head and a bullet hole about one and a half inches above the right eye; the body is that of a Chinawoman; should think she had been dead about three weeks." Charles SUMMERS corroborated the testimony of the above witness. The jury returned a verdict to the effect that the body was that of a Chinese woman, name unknown, and had come to her death by being shot with a pistol or gun, and by receiving other violent wounds on the head and body, by the hand of parties unknown. The scarf found on the body can be seen at Coroner REEVES' room, and may possible lead to the identification of the body. DEATH OF HUMPHREY GRIFFITH - During yesterday forenoon, J.A. TUTT and N.Greene CURTIS received telegraphic dispatch from J.G. HYER, at San Francisco, that Humphrey GRIFFITH was lying at the point of death and could not live many hours and requesting them to go down at once. In response to this dispatch a delegation of the Masonic order, composed of N. Greene CURTIS, J.A. TUTT, J.C. GOODS and T. LETSON, left the city for San Francisco by the two o'clock boat. A short time afterward information was received that GRIFFITH died at about half-past two o'clock. He was a member of Washington Lodge, No. 20, F. and A.M., to which Lodge he held the position of W.M. We understand that his remains will be brought to the city by to-day's boat and will be taken to Masonic Hall, on J street, there to remain (rest of article cut off).

He was therefore willing, with the consent of the District Attorney, that a nolle prosequi should be entered and the defendant discharged. There being no objection to the proposition, the order was entered, and Mike was released form the annoyance and perplexity of a second trial. THE WRONG CAN - A few days ago, at one of our city hotels, the cook was somewhat surprised, on resorting to the milk can just left by the milkman, to find that it contained nothing but pure water. On demanding an explanation of the milkman, on his next return, he frankly acknowledged that, instead of bringing in a can of milk properly diluted with water, he had by mistake left that which contained the diluting substance itself. He had designed, as was his custom, to distribute the water pro rata among his customers. The unreasonable landlord gave full credence to the explanation, but at once changed milkmen. INSANE - A man named Michael CODY was yesterday arrested by officer CHILDS and taken to the station house on suspicion of insanity. He was removed during the afternoon to the County Hospital.

A new article has been added to: http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/index.php?action=displaycat&catid=319 California Direct link to article: http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/link.php?action=detail&id=59424 Article title: Sacramento Daily Union Article date: March 16 1863 Article description: Police Court; Arrests; Supreme Court; Tug Merrimac Disaster; and Miscellanous News Article: Sacramento Daily Union Monday, March 16, 1863 FOR STOCKTON - The insane Italian who has been confined at the station house three or four days, and whose condition was such on Friday night that his recovery was deemed doubtful, has greatly improved as to health, and will be sent to Stockton to-day. It is ascertained that his name is Agostino GUIRELO; that he has been subject to spells of insanity for several years, resulting from having been badly burned on the back by some accident in the mountains. He stated to a friend yesterday that a relative in San Francisco had defrauded him out of his property. POLICE COURT - There was but little business done in the Police Court on Saturday. In the case of Mrs. SMITH, charged with selling liquor without a license, the charge was dismissed on payment of costs and agreement on the part of defendant to procure license. In the case of M.T. CROWELL, charged with assault and battery, committed some ten days ago, on P.B. BURBANK, the defendant withdrew the former plea of not guilty and entered a plea of guilty. Sentence deferred until to-day. WAS NOT GOING - We understand that J.H. GASS informs his friends that he had no intention of leaving the State on board the Shawmut, but that he and his sister merely went on board the vessel to see F. FRANKS and his wife off, and designed to return to San Francisco in the pilot boat. The circumstances of the Shawmut striking Mile Rock did not, it appears from this statement, interfere in the least with his plans and designs. J.H. GASS - Since Friday evening, J.H. GASS, in default of bail, has occupied an apartment in the county jail. It is supposed that an effort will be made to obtain a reduction in bail, and that he will thereupon be released. The report gains credence that others are implicated in some of his illegal transactions, and that a strong effort will therefore be made to secure his ultimate discharge. ARRESTS - A man named Thomas MINNICH was arrested on Saturday by officer CHILDS, on a charge of being drunk and sleeping on the sidewalk. A Mexican named Intarach was arrested by officer CHAMBERLAIN on a charge of vagrancy. Intarach had camped for some time in a hollow tree near Ninth and C streets, and was suspected of earning his living by stealing. SUPREME COURT - In the Supreme Court on Saturday, in the case of the Trustees of Columbia College vs. Ish, on motion of appellant and stipulation filed, leave was given to withdraw transcript. VERZAN vs. McGREGOR - On motion of BEATTY of counsel, and stipulation, leave given to withdraw transcript. COURT IN YOLO - Judge McKUNE, of the Sixth Judicial District, will, according to law, open Court this morning at Woodland, Yolo county. A week's time will probably finish up the business of the term. ADMITTED TO PRACTICE - J.B. BARKER was on Saturday, on motion of H.O. BEATTY, and filing affidavit of admission to the Supreme Court of the State of Illinois, admitted to practice in the Supreme Court. FOR TRIAL TO DAY - Richard DELANY and Peter DOWNS will be tried in the Court of Sessions to day on a charge of grand larceny, in robbing a miner at the saloon of NEARY & BREEN. INSANE - Lieutenant CHAMBERLAIN arrested an unknown man last evening on suspicion of insanity. DEATHS - Five deaths occurred in the city during the past week, as appears from the mortality report. SHOOTING - Two men named RAMSEY have been bound over in Solano county for shooting one John GOAKLEY in Green Valley, in a dispute about land. The wound is not serious. SAD ACCIDENT - At Yreka lately, a little daughter of one SCHEID, while playing in a swing, broke one of her legs. WARNING TO DESERTERS - The Grand Jury of New York dismissed the complaint against Michael BRADY, who, while acting as a member of the Provost Marshal's guard, shot a deserter who was escaping from him. GOOD CLAIM - One-eighth interest in the SPANGLER claim on the lower end of Humbug, in Siskiyou county, was bought lately by one Alexander MOORE for $2,500. FURTHER ACCOUNT OF THE STEAM TUG MERRIMAC DISASTER - The Body of Captain J.S. GARWOOD was found on Saturday late on the beach one mile north of Eel river, and thirteen miles south of Humboldt bar. He was drowned when the steam tug Merrimac was recently lost on the Humboldt bar. His body was brought down to this city by the steamer Panama. We are informed that the bodies of two or three drowned persons have been found who were on the Merrimac. The Humboldt Times of March 7th says, however, that none had ben found previous to the 6th instant. - Bulletin, Mar. 14th. INDIANS KILLED - The Oroville Union of March 14th says: We learn from a gentleman who came down from Chico on Thursday that a party of whites, a few days ago, residing some seven or eight miles above that place, killed three Indians who were employed on a ranch in the vicinity, on suspicion that they were in league with the mountain Indians who committed the late outrages. SUICIDE BY HANGING - A Frenchman named Peter COOK committed suicide by hanging himself in his cabin at Empire Flat, not far from French Corral, Nevada county, on Wednesday, March 11th. Drink is assigned as the cause. ACCIDENT - A man named Benjamin T. CONGER, while returning from French Corral to San Juan lately, was run away with by his horse, leaped from his buggy and had his leg broken. KILLING INDIANS - The Humboldt Times of March 7th has the following: We learn from K.N. GEAR, who passed Fort Seward last week, that the "mocassin men" at that place killed twenty-three Indians a few days ago. One of the men had gone out hunting and camped for the night, when the Indians commenced coming into his camp, a few at a time, till seventeen had intruded their presence upon him. He was satisfied they intended to murder him, and accordingly set his wits to work to save his bacon. He proposed to stop there with them and they would hunt and kill game together. This the Indians agreed to, and the bucks started out for a hunt. Going near Fort Seward, where the balance of the whites were stopping, the three Indians forgot to come back to camp in the evening, but in their stead about fifteen white men came. They found twenty Indians in camp and left them where they were found - but they will tell no tales. SINGULAR CONDUCT - The Mountain Democrat of March 14th relates the following: A fine looking, well-dressed young man named George P. CHAPMAN, formerly from Salina, New York, but of late a resident of San Francisco, was seen on Thursday, near Smith's Flat, stabbing himself with a pocket knife in the left breast. When arrested eight severe but not dangerous cuts were discovered over his heart. He had in his possession a small amount of gold coin and a $500 United States sever per cent bond, payable to his own order, which he offered to a gentleman who arrested him for a revolver with which to shoot himself. He was laboring under a temporary fit of derangement. He was brought to town and placed under the charge of Sheriff HUNTER, who has his money, etc. OF COURSE - To ensure the departure of the rebel Terry for Texas, the Dutch Flat Enquirer (Secession) says: As a brother of Judge TERRY died recently, it is probable that he will visit Texas and look after the estate before it is confiscated by the Confederates.
