A STRANGE STORY.

of life, more like fiction than truth,
came to our notice recently. It
seems that several years. ago family
of German people, consisting of a
father, mother and two children,
lived 10 New York, where the wife
and mother sickened and died, leav-
ing the man with but little money,
and the two children to care for.-
The father had sisters in that city,
who, like himself were strangers in
strange land, and to each he gave
child. The children, separated
from their father and mother, and
from each other, fretted themselves
sick and it was thought best to place
them in one of the various orphan
asylums in that great city where they
could be together. Here they SEEM
ed to thrive, and the father by his
labor was able to support them in
style that guaranteed them home
and comfort for the time being
This was nine or ten years ago, and
the children at this time were about
seven and nine years of age. The
father wandered out West 10 hopes
of lettering his condition, and finally
found himself in St. Louis, where
soon after his arrival, he was pros,
tsated with the typhoid fever, from
which he only recovered to take the
smallpox. lie was long time in
recovering, and found himself With
out money for his own support, a
in the long time intervening no me
ey had been sent for the support OF
the children, and the managers sent
them with hundreds of others to
Missouri and elsewhere in the West,
finding homes for them wherever
they could in the best families. After
his recovery and when money mat
ters were better with him, he wrote
in regard to his children, but could
get no word from them. As soon as
possible be made his way back to
New York, but was refused informa-.
ton as to where his children could be
found. After searching the city in
vain he started out West again, and
finally found himself in LOUISIANA,

had been sent out West to Ottawa,

seeing his children again, he went to

In that city he was relating his life

that as the names were somewhat

TRIAL OF THE MORE MURDER CASE.

SAN B~uEHAvENTuRA, July ID.
This forenoon the trial of Sprague was
proceeded with, Mr.. Belmont, Coroner,
being first called upon to prove the cause
of death.
The Chinese cook was recalled and Sc
verely cross-examined, evidently, not so
much to break him down as for Interior
purposes. The trial progresses very slow
ly, the legal contest being keen and close.
The Chinese cook testified to-day for the
first time, we believe, that ON the night of
the murder he saw five masked men.
c. A. Starke, son-in-law Of the deceased,
was called and proved the personal quar-
rel between the prisoner and deceased a
few weeks before the murder. On the
cross-examination he admitted that a col
lision occurred on the land claimed
by Sprague, which was outside of the
claimed limits of the grant; also,
that on that occasion the examining
magistrate refused to hold sprasuo
for trial. After an hours testimony, di-
rect and cross-examination, the Court
ordered it stopped, stating that at the
proper time he would instruct the jury to
disregard the whole of it.
Austin Brown, who lived within half O
mile of the scene Of the murder, was next
called. He had a conversation with
Sprague weeks before the murder he said
More ought to be killed, and would be, and
that a man had been detailed to kill him.
He said i'll another conversation, three
weeks before the murder, that Sprague
said he had just come from Ventura, where
he had talked with Hines, who said the
matter must be settled in some other way
than by law. Sprague said More threatens
to take our water and turn his sheep loose
on us, and | have come to see you about
killing him, and there is n party or
ganized to do it. Long before this
Sprague told me More ought to he
killed. He said the party to do it now
were John Curlee, Jesse Jones, II. Cook,
Jules Swanson and Churchill, and he
wanted me to join. l asked him how it
would be done, and he replied that it was
all planned and fixed, that they had a tur-
pentine ball to fire the barn, and bring
More out of the house, when they would
shoot him, and he said they would be dis
guised with barley sacks over their heads,
so that no one would know them, and had
a place of rendezvous where they would
meet at 10 O'Clock at night. The signal
was a low whistle, which would be replied
to. and some one would come to me. /
told him that my wife could not stay alone
at night, and therefore refused to go. If l
was out at night she would mistrust some
thing, and l could not go. This closed

The telegraph announced some days ago
the appearance Of Asiatic cholera in New
England. Cholera is q thing that spreads
r.pidlv, and the present heated term may
he accepted az most favorable to its dis
nomination, Under this state OF affairs it
behooves the authorities everywhere to en-
force the s~trictest sanitary regulations.
Eureka should not remain idle in this
matter. 1t cannot be denied that we have
the d~irtiest, "stinkingest" town in
America. The whole place needs a good
overhauling and thorough cleansing. Every
form of pestilence breeding nuis-
ance should be removed without
delay. The Big Ditch in itself
smells to heaven for official atten-
ton and eradication The Commissioner
have as much power to clean it, as a SAM
tary measure, rs they have to erect a pest
house in the event Of an epidemic. But
whether they have power or not they should
act. There is no one who will contest
their right. Governments are instituted
to protect the lives and property Of citi-
sons. 1t is for this that people pay taxes.
In the absence OF q written statute, there
are cases wherein the "higher law doc
trine should be invoked. The present
filthy condition Of our town offers n Of
these. Will the Commissioners as
sumo the responsibility? Have they
the nerve to do it? Two men
with shovels in the ditch, aided by carts
to haul off the decaying mass will clear the
canal from one end to the other in foul
days. at a cost not to exceed 500. Are we
to suffocate, and sicken and die for this
paltry sum, or double, or treble the
amount, for that matter? Messrs. Commits
sioners, will you move at your meeting on
Tuesday? If not, why not?

O EIGN E S..
RESULT OF THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA
FIVE CHIEFS PRISONERS AND THREE
KILLED.
The Government Busy with Cyprus.

LONDON, July 10.
The Capetown Mail, summing up the
result of the war now ended with the ma
tives in South Africa, says that only a few
small parties of the enemy remain and it
will not be long before they will be dis
posed of. Five chiefs have been taken
prisoners, and three have been killed.
Dimba has surrendered, and the only man
of influence still at liberty is kreli. The
loss on the side of the insurgents has been
much more severe than the natives had
experienced in any previous outbreak, and
it may be said that their power as a people
has been utterly destroyed.
The Government appears busy with the
details of the military and civil establish
ments in Cyprus. The papers
the appointment Of postmasters and other
officials. Gen. Sir Garnet Woolsey has
already under consideration the scheme Of
a financial company for the introduction
of railroads. Arrangements are also be-
ing made for q submarine cable to Alex
andria, which will give direct communica-
ton with England. Among the schemes
brought to the surface by English occupa-
ton of Cyprus is the Euphrates Valley
Railroad. The Duke of Sutherland and
others are in active communication with
the Government on the subject, and it is
stated that, if within a reasonable time it
appears that the Anglo-Turkish convention
is successful, it is possible that the country
will be asked to give a guarantee for the
proposed railway.

JONES AMI MACKAY.

The following squib is from the Bodie
Standard: Senator Jones, whose income
Is only SIS. 900 . day, is jealous Of Mackay,
who revels in SS5, 200 daily. Jones says
that so long as such ~monopolists as Mackay
hold California in their grasp, there is no
chance for . man Of moderate means, and
he thinks Of joining the Commune. Old
Miller, at one time head butler in the fam
tly Of George Washington, and at present
town crier Of this place, e~ntertains the
same ideas on this subject as does Senator
Jones, but does not worry over the matter
much. He says although his salary is not
- large - Mackay's towing to losses in
the great Chicago fire it is now but SIPS
par day.. he can carry as much whisky as
any Of the ~millionaires, and can drink as
often as he is asked. Miller il q staunch
supporter OF the government. He pays az
large . portion Of the internal revenue as
any other private citizen in town.

Senator Thurman has at last got the De
mocracy Of Ohio united in his support, and
it 10 supposed that he will be formidable as
an aspirant for the Presidential nomination
Of his party in 1880. Mr.. Thurman is a man
of talent and character. In the Greeley
campaign he made q speech which re-
minded us Of Daniel Webster in his great
days. Mr.. Thurman would make a fair
President, as things go but he promoted
the appointment of the unconstitutional
Electoral Commission in 1877. The next
Democratic candidate for President should
be q man who believes in tho Constitution
Of the United States and knows no other
Law Of political action.
Thus runs a paragraph from the New
York Sun. We don't believe Mr.. Thur
mans action with reference to the Elec-
toral Commission will hurt him for the
Presidency. The peace of the country was
in extreme peril, and his course is rather
to be commended than otherwise. Be-
sides, he believed, as did all Democrats,
that the Commission would 60 to work
honestly and in good faith to ascertain
who had been legally elected to the great
Office. That this was not ~done-that
others proved recreant to the trust re-
posed In them-was not the fault of Mr..
Thurman or any other gentleman who
favored the creation Of the Electoral Com
mission. But commission or no commits
sion, we sincerely believe that Mr.. Thur
man to-day enjoys the confidence Of the
Democracy in the far West in a greater de-
gree than any other man in the United
States. The cry that Mr.. Tilden was
swindled out Of the presidency at the last
election, will doubtless weigh heavily in
his favor for q denomination, and unques-
tionably his claims are entitled to respect
full consideration, but 1t is by no means a
settled fact that the National Democratic
Convention will not consider Mr.. Thur
man the more available candidate Of the
two. He would at least awaken vastly
more enthusiasm than the Gramercy Park
sage. Put the SENTINEL down for Thur
man against all corners.

We are in favor of paying officers hber-
ally for their services, but there are in
stances in this State where the compensa-
ton is out of all just proportion. Storey
county affords a striking example, and tho
same thing is likely to obtain in Eureka,
should our population and business con-
tinue to increase. The proper thing to be
done is to place all local officers on salary,
requiring all fees above a stipulated an
nual compensation to be turned into the
Treasury. The pay of some OF the officials
Of Storey county, under the present sys-
tenn, is greater than that Of the President
of the United States. The subjoined

CARLIN, July IS.
Last evening, shortly after six O'Clock,
Richard Richardson, a colored man, shot
L. M. Huntsman, a restaurant and saloon
keeper. Yesterday morning Huntsman
purchased a horse and saddle. Richard
son claimed the saddle, and last evening
he removed the saddle from a mule which
Huntsman had hitched outside his
door. Huntsman followed with q
club in his hand. The negro drop
ped the saddle, drew a pistol and
warned Huntsman not to approach nearer.
They were at this time about ten feet apart.
Huntsman d~isregarded the warming, and
rushing in dealt Richardson a blow with
his club upon the head. The negro fired,
shooting Huntsman through the left lung.
The shooter was arrested, and Huntsman
lies in a very critical condition. There is
some talk Of lynching.
