carson river, oelow Tort OuutSui',
started on foot for Virginia. He was
followed to a point neal the river, a few
miles from there, by an Indian on horse
back, who shot him in the head with q
double barreled shotgun, killing him.
instantly. This Piute footpad then
went through his victim, taking his
watch, Eve shooter, knife and 50 so in
coin. Then he dragged the body to the
river and chucked it in. The job was
done mp in a summary manner, and as
we'll as any white man could have done
it; indeed it probably never would
have been known or detected had not
the e1ultsnt assassin go, to Dragging OF
it among his bacon colored brethren,
exhibiting his captured trophies IN Proot
of the exploit. Some Of them-envious
of his prowess, probably-went and
blowed on him, aud thus it got to the
attention Of Chief of Police George
Downey, Of Virginia, from whom we
get this item. Yesterday, the body OF
The Chinaman was found floating in the
river. some distance below the scene OF
the murder, which ~corroborates the
story. The enterprising murderer has
not vet been captured, but we hope he
will be, for he might become so much
~emboldened by this exploit as to try his
hand again one Of these days, and per-
haps on ONE white man.
Coon ArpoISrMESr.-J A. Brumsey,
the we'll known agent in this section
for the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance
Company of California, has o re-
ceived the appointment as agent OF the
Phenix Of Hartford, Connecticut, and
Home of New York, both old estab-
lished, popular, substantial and uni
versally known FIRE insurance COM
pauies. He is also appointed agent for
the Travellers Accident Insurance Com.
pany of Hartford, the original aud
most successful company Of the
kind in the United States. The
appointment in each case is certainly
a most excellent one, tallying well
with the character of the companies he
represents. They could have made no
better selection for an energetic, BUSH
nesslike, experienced and trustworthy
agent. The names Of the Phoenix and
the Home FIRE insurance companies are
familiar as household words throughout
the eastern and middle sections OF the
States especially, as well as in the great
West and on the Pacific coast. So also
is the Accident Department OF the Trsv-
eler's Insurance Company, insuring
against accidents causing death or
totally disabling injury. We hardly
know Of q section where the benefits OF
such an institution could be secured to
better advantage than amid the mines
aud other dangers peculiar to this Sec
ton.
SurRo's TuSSsL.-Before tho Com
mittee on Ways and Means could get
away from Virginia, Adolph Su,ro, the
originator and protector of the famous
Sutro tunnel, managed to corral . por-
ton of them and took them up to the
roof of the International Hotel, in order
10 piyo them some idea Of the true i'm
portanee of that great work. From that
exalted eminence he showed them the
law Of the land, and with maps, proflss
md diagrams, he illustrated the coun-
try and ground through which that
tunnel must run, from the Carson River |
to the Comstock ledge. They were at
once deeply Impressed with the idea,
and might possibly at some future day
assist Sutro somehow in the ways and
means Of bringing his tunnel into
tangible shape and reality.
