Skeleton FOund-Yacht Peerless
Wrestling Match.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 8.
On Friday last a skeleton was found
in n of the canyons near Saucelito,
Among the bones WAS found "A large
American watch with the inscription
~. G. to G. b." which led to the iden-
titicaiion OF the skeleton. 1t was
brought to this city and recognized by
a gentleman as having belonged to one
George Brainstone, who mysteriously
disappeared six years age. He WAS
an emplOy9 of Cutting Il Co., who
presented the watch to him AS a token
OF esteem, he having been in their EN-
ploy for eleven years. At the time of
his disappearance he was preparing
for his return to England, his native
country, and had quite a snug sun of
money in the bank, which WAS taken
charge of Ivy his friends and advertise
ments inserted in the papers OF his dis
appearance, but of M avail. The cor
Orer of Marin county will hold an il :
quest on Tuesday the 9th over the
remains.
The schooner-yacht Peerless sailed
for Honolulu and Samoon Islands,
having on board n SamoOn princess
and Mr.. I.atrobe, private secretary to
Col. Sleinberger, L. 5. Commissioner
to the Sainoon Islands. Colonel Stein
berger let with King Kalakaua on the
U. ). steamer Pensacola, and may pro-
coed on the same vessel tn the Samo0n
group. The Peerless will probably
be made a present to the king OF the
SamOon Islands, and there is great in
terest attached to her departure in view
OF her close connection with the pro-
ject of the annexation of the Islands.
The Roman wrestling match at Platt's
Hall Saturday night, for $4,000, be-
tween Bauer and Vanderwerken, Gre

won by Bauer, the second by Wander
werken, and the third fall and match
were won by Baur. Another match
between the sane parties is expected
shortly.

BIOOdy Fight with Ku.KIux In
Franklin County, Ills.

DuQuolN, Ills, August l7.-A bloody
6ght occurred last night in the vicinity Of
Benton, franklin county, between the
sheriffot the above named county with
posse Of about twenty men under his
command, and a body Of Ku.Kulx, who
Tor sometime past have been committing
outrages on the peaceable citizens Of tho
counties Of Franklin, williamson and
Jackson. The assistance Of the sherif was
called for yesterday by ], B. Mad
dox, one Of the County Commissioners Of
Franklin county, who haA received notice
from this Ku.Klux band that he had not
performed certain orders that they had
told him to, and Tor this Otfense they cut
and whip. Maddox Immediately made
the threat known to the sheriff, who col.
lected posse Of twenty men, all well
armed, who accompanied Maddox to his
house, secreted themselves, and awaited
the appearance Of the marauders, At
about 9 o'clock at night, fourteen in
number, the Ku.Klua, disguised, made
their appearance, armed Nth shot.gups
and pistols. When they had come within
few yards Of the house, the sheriff slipped
out and commanded them to halt. The
answer was a pistol shot fred by the lead
er Of the band, which fortunately took no
effect, The sheriff then cried halt, upon
which the band fred and then wheeled
their horses and attempted to make their
escape, The sheriff and posse returned
their FIRE with better result as several Of
tho men were wounded, All succeeded
in getting away, however, except one
who was mortally wounded. This
one fearing death from his wounds
confessed and revealed the names Of some
thirty or forty more Of his companions.
From thequantity Of bloody clothes near
the fight II is supposed that several must
have been dangerously wounded. The
citizens OF Benton imediately called a
meeting and passed some strong and de.
termined resolutions, and also sent a
prominent citizen to place the matter
before the Governor Of the State
and get the protection and means
to rid the country Of these midnight
marauders. 70 or 100 stacks OF arms
have been received. The last heard from
the Vherif he was In hot pursuit Of the
band. The name Of the man who was
mortally wounded and has since died is
given as Job Duckworlh. All the sur
rounding counties arc anxiouSly awaiting
the result Of the delegate to Governor
