Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1876-12-08

CELESTIAL JUsTICE.-A few days
since we published an item regarding
a fight between W Cinnamon, in
which one OF the men was badly, and
at the time it was thought fatally, in
jured. The trouble occurred over a
game OF dominoes. Mo Bong was the
assailant, and struck All King ove the
head with an iron billy, inf1icting u
frightful wound under the left eve.
AS soon as the act was perperrated the
would-be assassin fled and has been in
hiding ever since. 1t vas thought that
the wounded mar would die, and his
"cousins"-members OF the same fac
tion-consulted as what was best to do
in the matter. The friends u the other
party were also on hand to settle the
affair without to law, and it
was finally agreed that Mo Bong
should, in The event of All Kings
death, pay to his relatives one thou
sand dollars, defray all the expenses
incurred in hiring a nurse; and engag-
ing the services of an attorney to pros
ecute, settle the doctors bill of ninety
dollars. and pay the wounded man
wages during the time he was unable
to work, in case be lived. The man
has sufficiently recovered to De con-
sidered u of danger, and now he
thinks he will keep to his bed all win
ter and draw his checks of Mo Bong
for three dollars a day.
The GRAND jury. - During the
present week the Grand Jury has been
in daily session and has had a consid-
cradle amount OF business brought be-
fore it. Several indictment have al
ready been found against parties for
violations of the law, and charges
which have been preferred against
others are being investigated. The
various committees are now hard at
work inspecting the accounts and
books Of the various officers, and max
ing a thorough examination in all mat
ters pertaining to the county. A COM
mittee to report ON the condition of the
streets has also been appointed, and
those who have made it a practice to
lumber up the sidewalks with old
boxes, or throwing garbage and all
manner of filth about the streets will
receive the undivided attention of this
committee. The Grand Jury will be
in session for some days yet.
The Enthusiastically the store
keepers are preparing for the holiday
season. Now goods, the latest novel
ties, suitable for presents, of all de-
scriptions, are being received and dis
played in the most attractive manner.
The juveniles, who look upon Christ
mas AS their special festival, are in
high glee over the approaching time
and their heads are filled with marvel
Gus stories of Santa Claus and a jolly
good time and a Christmas tree. The
only ones looking sad are the turkeys
and chickens, who seem to have taken
the matter to heart and are seeking an
escape from the raid that will be made
on them in a short time.
The New METHODIST CHURCH.
The Foundation walls of the new
Methodist Church now in course of
construction on Spring street are
nearly completed. 1t is intended to
erect the church this winter IL posi-
| BILE, as the. members of the church
are greatly in need of a house of
worship. The structure will be Of
wood, and when completed will be a
very neat building. Rev. j. De La
Matyr, formerly pastor of the church,
has charge of the building of the edi-
flee.
SAD.-We regret learning that the
infant son of Mr.. and Mrs. Daven-
port is lying in a very critical condi-
ton, and all hope of his recovery
has been given up. The little suf-
ferer has been sick for some time,
| but until the past day or two it was
thought he would survive.
LATERAL an early hour this orn
ing, we learn that the little sufferer
had gone to Him who gave it.
A GUILTY CoNsCIENCE.-There was a
man living in town, who, hearing
that the grand jury was inquiring
about the late election and the
| charges of fraud made against par.
ties, suddenly took his departure and
| will rusticate in the canyons until he
can see the report made of that
body.
ADAMS HILL. - November 29th:
Drift from O0-foot level is progressing
finely, and looks very favorable. We
are also drifting south at the $50 foot
level in a good ledge, with some
lunches of pay ore, and hoping to find
another good chimney in this level.
LUMBER FOR TYPO. Considerable
building or other improvements must
be going on in Typo, judging from the
amount of lumber lately shipped to
that place from here.
HAY AND GRAIN. - Several large
teams loaded with hay and grain ar
rived in town yesterday from Ruby
and Huntington valleys.
