We learn that a most intense excitement pre-

under the following circumstances
Mexican boy came TO tent near Soaors, ana
informed the owner that murder had been com

story was not credited and next day Mexican

Of men went to the place, aad found four Ne1cans
heaping u cod and orush on the tent in which were
two bodies partially consumed-a white man ana

become offensive, snd according 70 tue c1stom OF
their country, they were burning them. They
were arrested aud taken to Sonora and while they
were in the Court room various rumoT having
been circulated a large Grove throoged the streets
and determined to swing them up TO the first Tree
Judge Marvin, with some difficulty, prevailed on
the excited popuace 10 give them trial, and
twelve men were sci, cted as jury The lazy de-
cided that they could rot proceed with the case
without the testimony Of the persons who hAd
given the Information Ia regard 70 the bo1ie1'

purruers, and were sa'ely logged in jail, where

We regret TO learn that another foul attempt to
destroy life has been perpetrated in our immediate
vicinity. On Wednesday night on the road 10 the
Double Springs, near the Cssyeras Lunch House,
young man was fred at from the brushwood the
ball passed through his bat Ii Is believed that the
cowardly assassin was lying in ambush for we'll
known store keeper, MIR. MCLEAN, who was on his
wey TO Stockton and was at the time OF the occur
| renee at the Lunch House.
The same night Mr.. Robert Collier, who occupies
a Rancho five miles from Woods and Harrington,
was robbed OF $4,000 in gold dust. Ii appears that
| the dust and cash were keptin trunk which stood
on the floor Of the store during the night the trunk
I was removed to about 500 yards from the house,
/ and there pilsged. The robber did not take the
silver CON- which was left on the ground, but CON
/ tented himself with the dust From the nature OF
the circumstances connected with the case it il
supposed that the robbery has been committed
.adiysgsl cue Win Be i6dnd which will
lead 10 the apprehension Of the offender.
A MAN MIssIS0-A gentleman whose name We
have been requested not TO mention at present
started from Sonora on the 9Th inst. to come to
Stockton He has not arrived, and has not been
heard of since he left the mines, and he s probably
another victim Of the murderous gang whicl Il
prowliDg about Sonora.
The Stockton Times of the 9th July, is filed with
accounts Of murders and robberes in the mines,
showing most disturbed and dangerous state of
things TIE Times contends that the foreign miners
tex law bus contributed to aud brought about this
unhappy result We make the folio wing extracts:
GUERRILLAs.-It is stated that there 10 a gRer-
ria party Ia the mountains headed by famous
