What an Indian Says He Saw at
the Sulphur Mine.

AS anything calculated to throw light
on the butchery of I. N. Sharp at the
Rabbit Hole sulphur mine is looked
for with interest by the public, we pub
lish the following relative to the affair,
which is told by Piute Indian named
Tom: About the time of the murder
Tom visited the camp at the sulphur
beds, where he says he saw Rover with
a shirt in his hands, the sleeves of
which were covered with blood, and
that Rover tore off the bloody sleeves
and destroyed them. A report to this
effect was circulated shortly after Rover
was arrested. but as the Indians evil
dence could not be taken in the Courts
no attention was paid to the matter. 1t
was also remarked that about the time
of the preliminary examination Rover
appeared to be very anxious to ascer-
tain if an Indians testimony could be
taken against white man in this
State. Another circumstance, also.
indicates the truth of the Indians
story. At the time of the examination
a bundle of clothing, said to belong to
Rover, was offered in evidence by the
prosecution, but as it had been for
warded by express from Mill City here,
and had been out Of the possession of
the Sheriff, il was objected to by coun-
sci for the defense, and the objection
was sustained by the examining magis-
trate. The bundle, however, was
opened in the Courtroom, and among
its contents was shirt the sleeves of
which had been torn off near the ell
bows, and were missing, a circumstance
which corroborates the Indians story.
o. NJ. EVANS DEATH.-By private
letter from Unionville we learn that o.
NJ. Evans, whose sudden death was an
nounced yesterday. was feeling as we'll
as usual short time before he ex-
PRED He had started about 10 o. clock
in the forenoon to 60 up the canyon
above the town with some others. For
some cause the trip was postponed
until the afternoon, and meanwhile de-
ceased went to his house, and as was his
wont for some time past, lay down on
lounge about ii o'clock to take a
sleep. He had not been on the lounge
but few minutes when his wife, at
tracted by gurging noise, entered
the room and discovered that he was
dying. Medical aid was summoned,
but before the doctor arrived life had
fed, and o. NJ. Evans. the kind hus-
band, the indulgent father, the enter
prising citizen, and one of the leading
citizens of Knoxville, was dead. The
news of the sad event was telegraphed
to j. H. Kinkaid at Virginia City, who
arrived at Mill City yesterday with a
burial casket, in which the remains
were taken to Marysville on last even
ing's passenger train.

KILLED BY A MULE. - Day before
yesterday son of Mr.. Thompson, a
lad twelve years of age, was riding q
mule at Wadsworth. The animal be-
came unmanageable and dislodged the
boy from the saddle. His foot caught
in the stirrup and he was dragged for
some distance and kicked in the breast,
receiving injuries that resulted in his
death. We learn that his body was
badly mangled, his breast having been
broken in by kick from the animal.
His funeral took place vest erday.

ACoUIrTED.-The trial Of E. Pickett,
charged with driving off and selling
without the consent of the owner steer
belonging to Col. Hardin, of Quin River
Valley, came off yesterday before JUS
tice Davis. District Attorney Grass
appeared as counsel for the State and
G. 5. Varian for defendant. A jury
was empaneled to try the case. and sew
eral witnesses examined. 1t was proved
conclusively by several brands, that the
steer was the property of Hardin, but
it was also shown that the animal had
been purchased by Pickett of an Ore
gonian some time last fall or winter.
The case was submitted at late hour
last night, and the jury found ver-
dict of not guilty, and Hardin gets the
steer or the value of the animal.

Marriage by Proxy.
From the Continental Herald.

GOm lilG continental l1CIalu.
An extraordinary mairimOn-
ial ceremony has recently taken
place in the Grisons. 4 dam
sci in that district wished to
marry a compatriot who had en-
igrated to America, but as there
were difHculticsin the way OF his
returning and she did notwish to
go out TO join him before the
knot was tied, she applied to the
local cure to help her out Of the
dilemma. The civil code Of the
canton renders the presence Of
both contracting parties to q
marriage indispensable, but Tie
worthy priest believed that tie
bridegroom could bcreprescntcd
by proxy. He accordingly got
a friend Of the fiance 10 act as q
substitute, and after having
sworn that he had authority
from the swain in the United
States, the proxy, a married man
himself, went through the cere-
mony with the impatient lady.
1t thus results that she has a
husband" in America, and also
one in the Grisons, the latter
having married two wives. The
affair has been brought under
the notice Of the municipal au-

You know that at the first meeting OF Union

of Geo. TAYLOR, Edw. Z. Alley, John Ill. KIM
ball. E. A. Littlefield, and myself, were chosen,
the duties of which were set forth at various
times by votes of the district, and 1 now have
the satisfaction of knowing that our action
meets with the approval of all, realizing as
they do the vast benefits that have arisen from
them.

member of the committee All the money was
raised by DR.. John II. Kimbal, on behalf of

vides Mr.. e. A. Littlefed had charge of the
erection of the building, and all the funds were
drawn out by orders on the Town Treasurer,
given by the committee from time to time, by
direction of Mr. Littefeld.
l never had occasion to make any "state-
ment," financial or otherwise, and never
attempted it, l never asked to be discharged
from the committee, but member of the COM
mittee, at the last annual meeting of the dis
trict, made a report in full, giving an account
of the amount raised and how expended, which
was entirely satisfactory to the district, and
presume L am now discharged.
And now | come to the last charge, which
the VIPER who wrote it styles rumor, and
that is in regard to my "private financial prac-
ties; and l now aud hereby pronounce it
malignant and false in every form and par
ticuldr, SO far as myself or my honored father
is concerned, and there is not the shadow of a
shade of groundwork upon which to base any
such assertion.
do not propose to enlarge upon my fitness
for the office which l shall without doubt be
called to ill., have your confidence and judg
ment in this particular, and | am perfectly
content to rest it there, assuring you that [
shall in the future, as in the past, endeavor to
perform all duties that devolve upon me with
energy and fidelity.
In regard to the authorship of the above arti-
Gle can only say that take no particular in
1t makes no difference to me. 1t was a mean,

condemnation upon it in the most effective
