The Supposed Murder.

In q that the officers might not
nave their plans frustrated by the
publication of the mysterious disap-
pearance of a nan by name of C. b.
Green, no notice has been previously
made of the circumstances. Sheriff
Sullivan had vigilant measures adopt-
ed as soon IS he was put in possess
sion OF the facts in the CASE, and de-
sired that nothing be said publicly
until he had consummated his plans.
The missing man Green when last
seen was in charge of a band of
twenty-five horses belonging to him,
about four miles northeast from Eu-
reka, on a grazing ranch. lie was a
man of sober, steady habits, and his
sudden disappearance on Saturday
last excited suspicious of foul piay
with his friends, who laid the matter
before the officers. 1t was thought
that he might have been got out of
the way by parties who desired to
run Off his stock and ultimately be.
come possessed of them. This suspi.
clon was borne out, too, by the cir
cumstince that two of the amin Ills
had been so d at a figure much less
than their value, a short time after
their owner was missed, by a suspic.
louS character, whom the officers are

of capturing him. But n search OF
two days by a party of white men and
Indians employed by the Sheriff fail.
ed to discover any traces of the body
in the vicinity OF the place where he
was last seen, and the matter is still
wrapped in mystery. The investiga-
ton, however, has not been given up;
and the developments of to-day and
tomorrow may give Soine clue to the
supposed murder. We are in posses.
sion of some further particulars at the
present time, but for prudential rea.
sons they are withheld. Mr.. Green
formerly resided at Walla Walla,
Washington Territory.

da in his famous jig and clog dances.
Chris. Murtha, the comic singer and
general mime, SO well known to Eu-
reka audiences, will delight the

lies. Messrs. Brannan, Ducrow, New
man ard Baker, will each take a lead
ing part in his entertaining speciality.
1t is sufficient to say of the orchestra
that Professor Wheland is leader
and director. No pains have been
spared in fitting the stage. n drop
curtain and sliding scene nave been
added, and the auditorium itself has
not escaped attention. ~ house filled

TRAVEL TO THE NosEMTE.-The San Juan

lation TO a cessation of travel to the Hose-

Since the last days of June travel to lo-
semitic through this place has dwindled until
there Is scarcely tourist to been seen on
the way to the great worlds wonder. Tray
el was brisk for while during the spring,
but now our livery men and holel-keepers
complain bitterly Of stagnation in business.
1t is evident there is something radically
wrong in the management Of this travel by
railroad, stage and livery men, or the travel
to the big trees and the Yosemite Valley and
Falls would continue throughout the spring,
summer and fall months. Tourists with whom
we have conyersed upon the subject say that
the attractions are sufficient TO draw thou
sands from distant parts of the world. were
it not for the expense attending travel. and
the nearer they approach the great goal OF
their hopes and expectations the worse they
are fieeced, every one with whom they have
dealings piling on prices as though they in
tended to take all that man could carry
for the slightest service or accommodation.
There is no reason why Yosemite tourist
should be charged seyenty-fye cents or dol
lar for his breakfast at a hotel, or a dollar
for lodging, when a teamster, country man or
ordinary sOiourner at the same house enjoy
the same kind of fare at fifty cents a meal
and fifty cents for lodging. 1t is these dis
ordinations against tourists at all the stops
ping places along the route that is running
the great Yosemite rs 4 summer resort for
! persons who travel for health and pleasure.

Herr Heisch, German scientist, in a re-
cent paper on the pollution of water by sew
erage, furnishes very simple test to show
whether water is fit for general use. "Good
water, he says, Z" should be free from color,
unpleasant odor and taste, and should quick.
" afford lather with small portion Of
soap. If half pint Of the water be placed
in a perfectly clean, colorless glass-stoppled
bottle, a few grains of the best white lump
sugar added, and the bottle freely exposed
to the daylight in the window Of warm
room, the liqaid should not become turbid
even after exposure Of a week or ten days.
If the water becomes turbid, it is open to the
grave suspicion of sewerage contamination,
but if it remain clear, it is almost certainly
safe.
