Outrage and Robbery--Man's life saved by
Dog

SHAKoPEE, August ?. 1854.
A murderous assault was made on the person
of an unofending German, named Ernest Kaiser
on Monday evening last. He had been to Chasca
for the purpose OF looking at some timber, and
having been carried across the river by friend
he started for Shakopee. Not knowing much
about the country, he could not find the ROAD, anG
meeting three men, he inquired OF them the way
to this place. They agreed to show him the road,
and carried him some distance up the river. His
suspicion being excited he refused to go further
when he was struck across the head with gun
and ielled to the earth. He was then beaten
with the gun until he became senseess; then rob-
bed OF gold watch and thrown into the river
The water revived him, and when restored to
consciousness, he found one of his dogs holding
him by the bosom of the shirt, and endeavoring
to drag him ashore. BY his assistance he gained
the land, when he again seized by the mis-
creants, and hurled into the river. His dog again
came to his assistance, and helped 10 support him
IN the water. At this time the steamer Globe
came along, and the attention of the crew being
attracted by the barking OF a small dog upon the
Shore they found the man nearly exhausted, but
stlll held above the water by his faithful dog his
body and limbs covered with bruises from the
blows which the villains inflicted upon him.
Yesterday afternoon our citizens searched the
country IN the vicinity OF the place where the act
was committed, but no trace of the perpetrators
OF the deed having been discovered. A few days
ago some individuals entered the house of Mr..
SouleS, at Spring Lake during the temporary alb
sence OF all the occupants, and took away three
hundred aud fifty dollars in bank notes which
they found in a chest. ST. Paul (llmnl

Sar- Believing for some years that n
good road to California could e made in
a westerly direction from Great Salt Lake
lily, cutting short about $50 mi IS of the
I'D route, was Determined To explore
the country 60 miles south of Hastings
cutoff. Consequent on the 3lst OF Oct,
| left GrantsviIe, 40 miles west of Great
Salt Lake City, taking with me tour Ute
Indians, travelling in Il south-w west direc
ton, about so mites, to the summit OF
Cedar Mountain, where found water
and grass. then bore a little south "f
southwest, and after travelling n desert Of
about seven mi es even ground, | found II
Spring and some grass, near some sand
ridges at the edge of the desert. then
travelled west southwest eight miles, and
found Il spring and plenty of grass on the
desert. Sti continuing the same dIrrc-
ton about nine miles, came to n granite
rock in the midst of the desert, standing
as Il sentinel over the vast plain that sur
rounds it. 1t is about two ,nles one way
aud one and a-half the other, towering
80 feet. In this rock found a canon,
which | travelled up about ii mile, where
found a a-ge spring and some grass
Here found some Indians encamprd, ,
who informed me that the Pah UtahS
were preparing to attack the settlements
in Tooele and Cedar Valies. thought
it best to return and inform the inhabi-
,ants.
The Indians also informed me that
about IS miles further west, there was a
large stream, having cotton woods on it,
banks, and containing fish of Il good size.
they said that the stream flowed west,
and that it was six days travel down 1t to
the emigrant road, near the snk Of Carson
river.
As far as I have travelled, have found
it a first rate good wagon road (with the
exceptionof at out 80 yards on the Cedar
MoIntain, where it was Il little sid ing,
hut not half as bad as | have travelled
over on the Goose Greek route.) The
desert on this route is not like the one
ON Hastings, MS it is mostly hard. gravel

| also wish to say that found a val icy
about nine miles south west of Grants
Vile, and at the south end of Long Rock
Valley, about the size roo-Ie. 1t has the
greatest amount of pine and cedar timber
that have seen in these mountains.
Ii is my intention to start on the 29th

The HoMEsTsA AD.-Judge >atterlee, O

The HoMEsTE AD.--Julge Satterlee, OF
the Superior Court in San Francisco, has
recently rendered a decision of So much
importance and general interest to those
in the state who may wish to claim II
homestead under the statute, that we copy
it as reported in the Evening Jonrna -
No homestead can he mortgaged or so d
by the husband, in this State, without the
consent of the wife.
The material circumstances of the case
upon which his Honor's decision was
based are rs follows:
In the early part "f 1850, James Tay
or, the p a.nIiff'> husband, bought "A lot
and built house upon it, which, up to
A,ril 7th, 1852, was orrupled toy lay Tor
and his If. as their home aud residnnre.
On the 2l,t Of Apri 1851, was passed
the act to exempt the homestead from
forced sale, sc the second section OF
which act provides that no mortgage, sale
owner thereof, if Il married man, and his
wife reside in this State, shall he valid,
without the signature of the wife TO the
same, acknowledged by her separate y,
Sc
Ii appears that on the 7rh of April, 1852,
ana after the passage OF the act, lay or,
the plaintiffs hus and, sold the premises
tn the Defendant The deed WAS execut-
ed by Fay Tor alone, without the signature
or acknowledg -nt Of his wife. Shortly
after his purchase the defendant took
possession of the premises. and has since
continued in the possession, Taylor and
his wifi. having moved out.
In October, 1852, Tay or died. and
within few months thereafter the plain
tiff, his widow, brought this action to re
cover possession of the premises.
Yesterday morning his Honor Judge
Satteree rendered his decision, awarding
judgment in favor of the p aintiff for the
premises.
