he was suspected, and next morning
started to the mine, taking Rover
along with them. Upon arriv ny at
the camp, the Sheriff examined an
AK which was living there and no.
iced that it was bloody, but wheth
er the blood was that of a human be-
ing OF from a quarter of beef at the
camp, there were no means Of as
certaining. Search vas then COM
menced in the vicinity of the camp
for anything that might give a clew
to the murder, If one had been com
United. About $50 yards from the
camp the Sheriff discovered where
the earth had been recently removed,
and upon digging unearthed a por-
ton of a pair of pantaloons. Fur
ther search was rewarded by finding
a leg, a arm, the head and trunk of
the murdered man in different places,
from $50 to 500 yards from the camp,
each having been concealed in a badg-
err hole, which was marked by dirt
thrown or the sagebrnsh in the vicin-
ity, which conveyed the idea that the
murderer evidently intended to re-
move the pieces at some future time.
A "a was also found with the COL
lar cut off, which is supposed to have
been done at the time the head was
severed from the body. The body
was horribly mutilated; the right leg
was cut off at the hip, the left below
the knee, the right arm near the
shoulder, and the head from the trunk.
The right arm, left thigh and both
legs below the knee have not been
found. The head, trunk and other
pieces were collected and wrapped in
a blanket, and deposited in a shallow
grave to await the action of the Coro-
ner.
j. N. Sharp, the murdered man, re-
sided in Oakland, California, where
he kept the Parker Hotel for a mum
Der OF years. His watch was found
I'm the camp, but no other valuables
of any kind, though he was known
to have several hundred dollars on
his person when he left Oakland three
weeks ago for the mines. Letters of
an atiectionats character, signed Kate"
were found in his O pocket.
Rover is a small man, apparently
about 40 years of age. He is very ret
icent, and refuses to give any informa-
tioN about the mat er. He was brought
here heavily ironed by Sheriff Nash,
and is nov in Jail.

The telegraph q few days ago
brought us brief mention of a shock
ing murder in Humboldt comfy. We
now have from the Sslver Scte full
particulars of the blood-curdling deed.
For fiendishnsss it stands without a
parallel in the history of crime in this
State. The murderer seems to have
fairly reveled in the blood of his VIC
tim. The following is the Silver States
account of the terrible atrocity:
Last Saturday evening, the Sheriff,
accompanied by +. j. McWorthy,
owner of the sulphur mine, William
Spencer and James Knapp, left Mill
City for the mine. They arrived at a
spring within five miles of the mine on
Sunday afternoon, where they found
j.. W.. Rover, who was employed at
the mine with Sharp. McWorthy
asked him II he had seen Sharp since
he (McWorthy) had left the camp, to
which he sullsnly replied. "No, by
God, I have had other business to at
tend to-"
The party remained at the springs
all night. and kept close watch OF
Rover, without letting him know that

ten miles off shore. She fired fifteen or
twenty guns. One man reports that
the whole forward portion Was in
flames, and another describes her as "A
two -masted steamer with thick black
smoke issuing from her stern, and
firing guns, but could not say whether
she was a screw er paddle. A schooner
