TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN kENTUcKY-A GIRL
SHOOTS Two MEN-The Louisville Journal
Sept. 9th, contains the following: In the
hurried account given of the killing of Geo
Day, Jr., in yesterdays Journal. there were
some inaccuracies as to details. Our contem-
porarv of the Democrat publishes what seems
to be reliable version of the affair, taken
from the confession of the homicide. We ex
tract: q A youthful girl, by the name of
Joan Stoniker, had gone to Sulpher Well for
the purpose of procuring some cider. On
the road home she met young man by the
name Of Mark Skean, and the two stopped
in the woods through which they were pass
ing. to have a few minutes conversation. -
Skean had his gun in his hand, having been
hunting. The girl states that while they
were thus engaged in conversation, George
Day. Sr., and George Day, Jr.. advanced to-
wards them with axes in their hands, they
having been chopping wood. The Days at
once commenced abusing Skean, and ad-
vanced toward them with their axes. Skean
was inclined to run away, when she remark
ed, viii you let those men scare you p
They cannot make me run, at the same time
seizing the gun. The Davs then called her
by various hard names. wien she raised the
gun and fred, the contents lodging in the
breast of George Day, Jr., who instantly fell
a corrse to the ground. -.he girl then took
the gun and struck the old man two or
three time over the head knocking him in
sensible. The parties came to this city, a
distance of seven or eight miles, surrendered
themselves and are now confined in the coun
ty jail" The girl and Skean are both still
in custody, and will have a hearing in the
criminal court at its present term. For this
purpose we learn, witnesses have been
supenaed and are already in waiting. so
that speedy disposition will be made of the

Gaming has not been confined this season

FRN1AN SrREScrH.-An Eastern exchange
says;
The Fenians are said to num5or $50 900 in
America, 100000 in Ireland, and about 5,
600 in the British army. and that the Fe-
nian Treasury contains S, 100000. 1t is re-
ported that negotiations are pending for the
purchase of eight ocean steamships, each Of a
sufficient capacity to accommodate 900 men
with the certainty almost, that the purchase
will be made before the first of October of the
present year. And it is further stated that
there have been immense purchases of arms
from the Government, within two weeks past,
bv parties supposed to be agents of the Fe
man Brotherhood. 1t is even rumored that
Bank Note Company of New York is at the
present moment engaged in engraving bonds
for the new Irish Republic. Whatever of
doubt may be entertained as to the credbility
of these statements, we have many concur

GoING OUT FOR Wool AND COMING BACK
SHoRN-Leyiticus tells about Deuteronomy
performing such feat in Bible times. We
have a latAillustration of the same perfor-
nance. The paymaster came around the
other day, after long absence, and the
soldiers assDun Glen received the greenbacks
due them for several months of service
Certain of the civilians conceived the idea
that the soldiers would like taste of city

cy. The soldiers, as expected, appreciated
this attention from the civilians, but. as not
expected, they took pay tor their patronage.
The result was, the civilians left with the
servants of Uncle Sam all the coin and paper
currency they took over for starter. Then
another civilian, more talented in the use Of
pasteboard and ivory than any of these,
went out against the soldiers. We heard
from him early in the week. He had gone
through for the last silver. and had his faro
tools in soak with the boys in blue.
If anybody can deal fair, square game of

Much Needed.

Legislative action upon our mining inter,
ests is needed to this extent, and no more /:
that every claimant of mining claim shall,
if possible, work it. Such a law would
increase the wealth of the mining regions
immensely, check litigation, and operate for
the good of all. Idaho has such law, and
her quartz mines are being developed largely
in advance of our best looking DISTRICTS
Such a law would put an end to mining on
paper; notices would only serve as guides to
the prospector who means business, indcat-
ing the way to place where work could be
made profitable We ask for such law,
and hope the mining journals throug ghout the
State will support us. In this connection
the Sacramento Union we'll says:
We hear that there is some hesitation in
investing in lodges believed to be rich on
account of the dread of litigation. These
lodges were taken up long ago, worked
awhile and then abandoned. But the fact of
abandonment IS to be proved to the satisfac-
tion of jury, in case the old claimants
renew their claim-and they frequently do
SO when the mine they relinquiished turns
out to be rich-and capitalists are not dis
posed to take the risk of eiectment after
spending their money. The Idaho Leglsla-
ture met similar difficulty by an Act ap-
plicable to the whole mining region OF that
Territory, tending to give good title to men
who were actually working the mines II
such law were passed at the next session OF
our Legislature litigation would be dlmln-
ished and additional inducements would be
offered for the development of the wealth
now slumbering in our rocks.

ANOTHER DIscovERY.-The work goes
bravely on. Mr.. Mccall, practical miner,
and of long experience in quartz mining, has
been travelling the hills and gulches about
Shasta for some ten or twelve days past.
From day to day he reported the finding of
good lodges, but wanted to find one that just
suited him before locating claim. He found
the very one he had been seeking, at Lower
Springs, two miles distant from town, and is
alreading taking out rock that calls for the
admiration of experts, and sets noyices half
crazy. 1t is fair to presume that a ream of
paper at least will be consumed in notices,
to adorn white rocks in the vicinity of Nc
Calls discovery, and that the first rain will
remove them, leaving no marks by which
these amateur miners can find their wealth.

Or LOCAL INTEREsT.-On the first Monday
of Hecember the Legislature meets at Sacra-
mento. The great interest of Shasta county
is in her mines We suggest now to every
man interested in a quartz mine, that he put
up in small package, not exceeding in
weight say from four to eight ounces, speei-
mems of what his lode contains. mark it with
name and location, hand it to our Assembly
man, and let him take it to the capital with
him. He will then be able to Illustrate his
arguments in favor of our mines. 1t is
something tangible that is wanted to induce
immigration. We need the immigration. We
have got the tangible arguments; let us see
to it that they are used Let the specimens
be made light, or Chapel will have to char

be fair. The poorest are good enough, so
we can afford to be honest.
