""S"o ooouAA0" o"iiy yesterday morning
in the County Jail. This victim of self
destruction was sporting character
known for Is or 20 years on the coast by
the cognomen of I" Black Hawk" His
right name is Mateo Oreamuno. He is
native of Central America, aged about
40 years. He leaves wife and child
rem in Virginia City. 1t appears that
the deceased for several days gave signs
OF disordered mind, and on Sunday
last he was placed in the County Jail as
measure of safety to himself. On
Monday, while eating dinner he made a
fearful cash in the right side of his neck
with case knife, bnt not inficting a
fatal injury. This was discovered, the
wound dressed. and the knife taken from
him. During Monday night he seemed
restless and fearful of some impending
danger, aud the jailer was unable to
pacify him. Between 4 and O'Clock
yesterday morning Frank Perry, prs
oner, who was in the hall, heard an unu-
sual noise in Mateo's cell, and gave the
alarm, which brought the jailer, Jerry
Ii h, t. the scene CT the disturbance.
On opening the door of Mateos cell the
truth was soon revealed. 1t seems that
he tore strip about two inches wide
from the bed tick. This he fastened to
the CRATE on the door, and taking a
double turn around his neck made the
other end fast. He then stood upon
bucket, which he knocked from under
his feet. He had his back to the door
and falling forward, the weight of his
body-he being man of probably 200
pounds weight-was sufficient to choke
him to death. He was so far gone when
found that he could not be restored.
Coroner Philson held an inquest yester-
day afternoon.
PIocHE THEATRE.-The new theatre
which it is hoped will tend to delight the
denizens of Phoebe approaches compile
ton. 1t is located in the rear of the
engine house, with the front entrance on
Cedar street. 1t is rather primitive
structure, reminding old Californians of
the days of 40, being merely frame
work covered with canvas, and is the
handiwork of S. r. Calhoun. The dress
circle is to be 45x25 feet in dimensions
the stage 14x25. with two dressing
rooms attached. The building approach
es completion; and it is expected that
| orraine d Mason will give their first
| entertainment some night this week.
| The building while adding but little to
| the majestic appearance of our town, will
| nevertheless be very convenient for pub
| lie meetings, balls, etc. Instead of
| growing about the primitive appearance
of the new structure, let US imagine it n
brown-stone front and stand in to make
the new theatre a sourcs of profit to the
proprietors and OF amusement to the
people. -"
EXCELLENT MEATs.-The barren ap-
pearance ofthe sagebrush county would
lead the uninitiated to suppose that no
meat for mans consumption could be
obtained, but we would ask the incred-
ulous to inspect the display of beef and
mutton in the sta Is of O'>oil ~ Arm
strong on M"alow Valley street or
jasper Harold next door to the RECORD
Office, and be convinc d that our markets
are well supplied with the best Article.
First class grazing lands are found not
far from here and atforl excellent pastu-
rage for all the cattle and sheep required
Tor consumption here.
DIED IN THE HosprrAL.-A. Grine,l,
native of Spain, aged As years, died at
the Hospital about 3 o'clock yesterday
morning. He had been sick several
weeks; was in the hospital only four days.

less and without.means. A post norton
examination WAS held by Dir. d. L.
Deal yesterday afternoon, and it was
found that death was caused by abscess
Of the liver.
In JArL.-Thrre are seven prisoners in
the County Jail, three of whom are

Nbery, 3 years.
NoRoNER's INQUEsTs.-The Coroner's
inqui>ition into the cause of the death of
John H. Strain, who WAS shot on cleo.
ton day, failed tolfasten guilt upon any
particular individual showing that
he died from pistol shot wound in
filcted by some person to the jury UNI
known. In the case Of Mateo Orea-
munde the jury found that death was
caused in the manner set forth elsewhere
in this issue.
1MPRovEMENrs.-So many new build
ings are going up that we can't think of
attempting to give any account of them
until an opportunity offers to make a
raid and capture thom ALL Certain it is
that the town is improving at wonder
fully rapid rate. Buildings and i'm
provements in business houses, resi-
dences and about mining claims attract
the attention of every passer-by.
