Piles. he was Swede, SO years of age has
resided in this county number of years aud
| for two years past has been toll keeper on the
Mono road. He was quiet peacabie and
honest man, at the time of his murder he
had some money about his person which was
taken by the bloodthirsty fends. On Tues
day, his remains, which were followed to the
grave by quite number of friends were de-
| posted In the City cemetery. The night OF
the murder two horses were stolen from T.
Jennis place some thirty miles this side of
where the killing took place and it is believ-
ed by the nurderers. Mr.. Jennis, the next
morning started to hunt the horses, and in
company with Deputy Sheriff Reed, who
joined him Sunday morning tracked them
forty miles below Sneling's, they were una
| BILE to trail them further and returned here
| Wednesday evening. This is ease that
should be followed up, if such az outrage is
to be allowed to so by default there will be
no security for the lives of the people living
along the Mono road and in the mountains
We believe the Governor should offer re-
ward, that every thing may be done to cap
ture the Williams and bring them to that pun
ishment they so justly merit.
