An Intelligent Cat.

There is a cat up at ~Sweeney's stable
that, according to the statement of her
owner, MIR. Gallagher, possesses a
surprising degree of intelligence. She
recently became the mother of a litter
of young kittens, a circumstance that
occurred in the corral. The mother
was not satisfied with her plebeian
quarters and odoriferous surroundings,
desiring TO domicile her family under
her masters roof tree. Most cats
would have taken the infant felines by
the nape of the neck and removed
them to their new home. Not so with
this one. Procuring a baling rope,
found in the debris of the corral, She
made a series of half bitches around
their tender bodies. and taking the end
Of it in her mouth, dragged her pro-
geny into the rear room, and then
cooliy unloosed them, afterward re-
placing the rope where she found it.
1t is q pretty tough story to swallow,
but Mr.. Gallagher, of the Parker
House Restaurant offers 10 substantiate
its truth by affidavit il necessary. The
Austin Sazerac Club should confer an
honorary degree on him without de-
Law

The Reservation Murierers.

The four men arrested for the muir
der of Holland and Carter. at the res
ervatioD, have been brought into
Phoebe and are confined in the Jail at
that place. We understand that their
preliminary examination was set for
yesterday, and If they are held, of
which there is no doubt, they will be
conveyed to Reno for trial. They are
all young fellows, their e ranging
from twenty to twenty-five years, and
hail from the neighborhood of Los
Angeles, California. One of the num-
Der, McManus, was wounded in the
arm, and in the flight OF the band after
the murder, was abandoned by his
comrades, his wound paining him to
such an extent as to render horseback
riding an impossibility. He crawled
into the weeds and lay there until his
discovery by an officer, who covered
him with a shot gun and demanded
his surrender. McManus shouted
back that he need not be afraid of a
dead man, and gave himself up with.
out any resistance. The wound i'm his
arm was in a horrible condition, it
having commenced to mortify from
want OF care and proper attention.
The arm was attended to after the
prisoner reached Phoebe, and McMan-
US Will accomp any the balance of the
prisoners on their trip TO Reno. The
gang Is very reticent and has moth
ing to say in regard to the murder.

Friendly Calls.

The SENTINEL was honored yerter-
day with friendly calls from Charlie
Foreman, Superintendent of the Over
man, Hank Smith, Superintendent of
the Belcher, and /. L. James. the we'll
known civil and mining engineer.
These gentlemen have been in Eureka
some days examining the disputed
territory bet cen the Eureka Con-
solidated and Richmond. They are
all old Comstockers and well-known
throughout the State. Glad to see
them severally looking well. They
departed for the West on this morn
iDg's train. Later in the day Judge
ID. G. McKenney and brother, from
Astin, dropped in on US. They came
over by private conveyance, and will
spend a week or ten days on the Base
Range. The younger brother will do
something in the way of life insur-
ance while here, being the agent of
several good companies. The Judge,
who, by the way, is accompanied by
Mrs. McKenney, comes merely on a
little visit to old friends in these parts
during the vacation of his court. We
extend them a cordial greeting to "the
second town in the State"
