A Cold B,nOIpd Murder .n Gr"Na
EsIsUd.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. "A. NJ.
Tullis, a wealthy farmer residing
on Grand Island, Sacramento coun-
ty, was murdered vest erday eve-
ming. The following details have
been received:
CeURTLAND, Aug. Upon hear
ing of the murder of A. M. Tullis,
your reporter hastened ro the ranch
of the deceased on Grand Island,
and there found assembled around
the body a majority Of the settlers
of the island who were discussing
the reasons of the cold-blooded
murder, A strong suspicion rests
upon two unknown men who were
seen coming down the river in a
small boat. They went direct
to Tullis's ranch. There one of the
men landed and went to the house
where he inquired of the China
man who was there, where the
boss of the ranch was and what his
name was. The Chinaman d.
rected him to where Tuilis was at
work budding trees. The man
went in that direction and that was
the last that the Chinaman saw
of him. 1t was then about 7 A.
NJ. The Chinaman heard no
shots fired, but parties who live
just across the river from where
the body was found, say they heard
three distinct shots also the shouts
ofmen and the barking Of a deg.
They had no suspicion
of anything wrong, thinking
that some men were on q coon
hunt. Mr. Tullis was shot while
running. The mnrderers must
have placed revolver against his
spine and shot, when he fell, and
then must have shot him in the
neck. The appearance of the
ground shows that he died withou
II struggle. The tracks of the mur-
derers are plainly y visible in the Or
chard and can lac traced back to
the river were their boat was tied.
No trace Of suspected parties have
been found yet. The cause of the
murder is mystery. 1t was not
done for robbery as the rockets Of
the deceased were not rlfied and
the house was pot entered by The m.
The CITIZENS are much incensed,
and will to morrow hold meeting
to take steps to discover the muir
derers. "A large reward will be Of
fered.

PORTLAND, Aug. 3.-The follow
ing has been received here from
Lewiston, July 31st, via Walla
Walla, August 9: White Bird il
on the forks of Clear Creek, above
Kamiab, and has possession of the
old battle ground. He has about
forty warriors with him. The Ka-
miah Indians have interviewed
White Bird to ascertain his inten-
ti0ns. He declared that he would
not surrender, but had come to get
what belonged to him. The Indians
are well armed, and partially
mounted. They have been in the
Elk City mountains for weeks.
The excitement on the Cams Prai-
rie is great. Sixty volunteers are in
readiness to proceed against them.
Major Hancock has advised little
delay until more can be ascertained
of White Birds intentions. Ap-
prehensions exist that White Bird
is backed by some of Sitting Bulls
men who are scattered through the
mountains. There are no troops
in this section that can make a
stand against even White Birds
band. Forty volunteers will be
compelled to do the fighting f any
is done.
