Our San Francisco papers contain nothing of spe
cial Importance Two suicides had occurred 10 Sau
Francisco since the date of previous advices but the
usual number Of murders and affrays appear to have
greatly diminished. From the San Francisco Bulle
tin Of the 9Th inst we extract the following:
Nicholas Brenzel was murdered near the San Do.
ming0 Ranch, about twelve miles from Martinez, on
2lst May. man named John Mohr, accused OF
murder. was arrested at Martinez, and was examined
on the 25th before Justice Weld. The examination

At Indian Valley, Plumas county, on 26th May, a
man named McCarty was shot dead by another named
jenkins. They had dispute about liquor bill Of
SIS, and shortly afterwards Jenkins armed himself
with shotgun, hid in McCartys field, and on bis
appearance, shot him dead. There was great excite.
ment among the citizens, and several parties have
gone in pursuit of the murderer. A number of In
dams were also searching for him, the residents Of
the valley having offered reward for his capture,
James Miller and one Parrish recently left Butte
Breek (near Jacksonvle) on horseback, with pack
mule, for hunt in the mountains On the l4th May
the mule returned to Millers honse alone, with its
pack on and as nothing has been heard of the men,
It is supposed that they have been killed by the In
dian murderers from Rancheria Prairie. They were
hunting on the same route taken by the Indians The
party Of five, who killed several days ago, were
attacked while lying in bed, as was evident from
their wounds Two men were shot through the head head

correspondent Of the Bulletin writes the follow.
ng from Yreka, under date of May 90:
Considerable excitement was created in town to-day
the appearance Of Lalake one of the chiefs of the
Klamath Lake Indians, having in bis possession the
leads OF three Indians killed by him at or near the
Klamath river. AS you have already been informed,
mere were some five persons murdered lately at the
read of Butte creek, in Oregon, who were on their
yay to klamath Lake to settle there. When found,
hey We're horribly mutilated; their horses, arms and
verything valuable gone. Suspicion fell upon the
Klamath Lake Indians as having committed the muir
er none others being known to have been about that
ountry; and some who were in Jacksonville at the
lme were arrested. Lalake, their Chief being here,
md himself and tribe always having been friendly to-
Yards the whites, resolved to find the murderers and
possible, bring them to punishment. He started |
nut, and found near the scene of the murder, three
Indians, "a father and two sons) who detailed and |
onfessed to him all the circumstances of the murder
md even had the horses guns, ETC., of the murdered
men in their possession. These Indians were rem |
ant of the Bogue river tribe, who had all been sent
the reserve and had either been accidentally left be-
md or escaped from it.. They have been roaming in
he mountains for some time. Lalake killed them ALL
nd brought their three heads here to show the whites
hat they were not of his tribe white man who
ad been with him, fully confirms his statement
MS suppose, Will end an Indian war, which likely
'ould have occurred, had these murderers not been
rought to just and speedy retribution.
Among the local items of the Alta California. we
nd the following:
Among the arrests noted upon the Station house
ook, last evening, was the name of Jane Whpple.
ommonly called Oregon Jenny" who was charged
18th drunkenness. She was placed in cell with
ome China women. In n few minutes the most nm.
arthy yels and screams were heard proceeding from
er cell and on entering it the officer discovered that
emmy had tame snake of the common garter snake
pecies, about three feet long, which she had CON
called in her pocket and with which she had fright
ned the poor Chinese women nearly into fits. She
as taken out and placed in separate CELL with her
the snake. She says she has had it for
vo years, and although it has bitten her twice. she
ould not part with it for any consid Grafton. She
'iled up in her bosom, a la Wirsen Last night, in
re station house, she placed the head of the snake
her mouth, and appeared to enjoy the nervous hor
y Wncn even the criminals around her could not
lppress at the horrd sight. Such beastly, de.
1aved taste, IS almost unaccountable in woman
he snake is evidently charmed with her. She could
ardly have succeeded in charming anything but
lake.
The San Francisco Herald says:l

From the Shasta Courier we extract the following
lew days ago the Indian boy who set fire to the
,use OF Col. Stevenson was taken from the custody
Sheriff Dunn, by number of citizens, and hanged.
ne Sheriff had taken him to the Court House and
r him in room adjoining the Courtroom and
hlie absent for few moments the boy was taken
: the mob. This is really horrible, and reflects no
edit to the parties concerned. The Beacon con. ,
,mns the act in very severe manner by abiding
It in eloquent silence" The hoy was but twelve
fifteen years of age. 1.-THE Tehama Gazette saws
at ne was only ten years old.] What good will the
nging of this STRIPPING accomplish? win it deter
her Indian boys from committing n similar act? If
, the act is deensible If net what tben2 That J
boy deserved hanging, if he was capable of an t
eciating the magnitude of his crime, is very true
It why not let him be hung in legal manner I
lere was no danger of his escaping.
