Another Sn.nII War Imminent in sto-
Tey County.

An armed contest, says the Virginia
Chronicle, is going on for the possession
OF the Scorpion mine which savor5 Of the
conflicts for mining claims for which
this country was famous in early days.
The Scorpion is situated north of town,
near Bieileman's ranch, and northeast
of the Sierra Nevada works. 1t was To-
Gated years ago, and considerable work
has been done upon it. About a year
ago Robert Apple and Robert Heating
hired several Italians to work upon the
tunnel. Their wages amounted to sew
eral hundred dollars, all or the greater
part of which was paid. In tho absence
of Mr.. Apple the same men did add
tional work, brought suit and obtained
Judgment for their wages. On last
Thursday morning they were in posses
sion of the property, when they were
driven off by several Cornishmen Of the
Apple and Heating party. They applied
for writ to Judge MARBLE, which was
granted, the Cornishmen vacated the
premises, and the tunnel was locked up.
On Sunday morning the Italians broke
the lock, went in and barricaded the
tunnel. Subsequently the other party
arrived undermined them, drove them
out. and now have possession, which

The Jury before whom the Issue oil
Murphy's insanity was to be tried were
convened yesterday afternoon in Justice
Wi,hereli's office. The unusual pro-
ceeding brought together as large n
crowd as the room wonld hold. Such
evidence as WAS brought before the jury
seemed to sustain the charge upon which
the reprieve was granted. At any rate.
there were many opinions given and
circumstances cited which went to es-
tabIi.h the fact Of the prisoners nm
soundness of mind We have already
given the names of the jurors. Sheriff
Swift presided over the deliberations.
District Attorney Patterson appeared to
controyert tie plea of insanity. Gen.
Clarke. the prisoner counsel, appeared
in his behalf-or. rather. in behalf Of
the affirmative side of the case. The
evidence of the witnesses, Daley. Brien,
Clarke and others was to tie effect that
Murphy had long exhibited such signs
of mental alteration. The Crazy
Baker" they said was his sobriquet
among those who knew him-crazy on
fighting and spiritualism, they said.
Gen. Clarke, what time we heard him,
was working hard in favor Of his unfor-
tunate client. He weighed the evidence
and showed it 10 be conclusive CT Muir
phys insanity. Mr.. Patterson, of
course. was quite rs emphatic in de
nouncing the fallacy Of the charge. We
should think that q sufficiently strong
case to warrant a verdict OF homicidal
mania. if not of absolute lunacy. The
jury takes q recess till 10 O'Clock this
morning.
