SACRAMENTO ITEMS.
From The Union Of ycstorday.]


We learn from a gentleman who
came down from the Summit yesterday
that a young man was arrested at Alta
ON Monday. charged with the murder
of Paul Grabel at shady Run, to which
we referred Monday morning. It Is
alleged that the prisoner had been
heard to cay on two occasions last
Wednesday that he was going to see
Gabriel, and II the latter did not pay
him $40 which he owed him he would
kill him. This remark was made. on
one of the occasions, while he was en-
gagged In loading a pistol. He took
the trail leading over to Grabol's
cabin, and was met returning from
there, much excited. The murder was
not discovered until Saturday, when
the body was found lying In deceased's
cabin behind tho stove, with four bull
let holes In the body and one through
the head-the latter having been fired,
evidently, after tie deceased had fall
len. The physicians appear to think
the wounds were inflicted two or three
days before the body was found. which
would add another link In the chain OF
clrcumstantlal evidence. The prisoner
will have IN examination at Dutch
Flat to-day.

hauling hay across the track, had loft
the fence open In various places, and
allowed a band Of horses to get OIL the
track. Seven Of them ran ahead Of
the train and OH to the trestle. work,
when the engine struck them. killing
four outright and lnjuring two more.
The engine was badly smashed up, the
boiler being thrown to the left side,
and the tender, end over end, to the
right side of the track. The fireman
was unfortunately caught under the
boiler and Instantly killed. Six cars
were piled on top Of each other, aud
four Of them completely ruined. The
