and then sent to the house of Troy Dye,
on I Street, between Twentieth and
Twenty-frst. The man who delivered
the lumber put the first load through
the fence, seeing no one there. When
he came again the boards were gone,
but he saw no one there either time. The
drayman also said he met Anderson
and another man coming to the house
as he left the second time. The other
man, he thinks, was Dye, but it proved
to be stranger. Mr.. Lusk identified
the figures on the board as having been
made by him.
Anderson was not in custody. When
Dye was engaged in the butchering
business in Sacramento, Anderson was
in his employment, and Immediately
preceding the building of the boat he
was, says Sheriff Drew, boarder at
Dyes house. Anderson is a man about
five feet ten inches high, of florid COM
plexion, reddish or sandy whiskers,
large feet, and had on, when last seen,
a twenty-five cent calico hat. He is a
Swede, about S5 years old, and butch
er by trade. Some two years ago An
derson committed an assault on man
across tie American River, calling him
out at night, striking him, and leaving
him for dead. Since the murder of Tul-
lis, Anderson has not been seen or heard
of since about III o'clock last night.
The officers have traced the matter
sufficiently to show that the murderers
left San Francisco in the boat built at
Dyes house, early on the morning of
the murder, at daylight. They went
down the river, arriving at Tullis's
about p. m. After the commission of
the murder they passed down the river
short distance, passed over to the
mainland, and kicked the boat to pieces,
1t was held together by small round
French nails, which could easily be
drawn out by kick of the foot. They
then broke the boat lumber to pieces,
eonsigning it to the current of the riv-
er. The fragments foated in to the
shore, and were held there. The muir
derers from there went up the Sacra-
mento side OF the river to
point opposite Clarksburg,
where they stole a skiff from
the ferryman, and crossed to the Solano
County side, at Clarksburg. Thence
they went to Merritt's Island. 1t is
alleged that following Dyes movements,
he has been traced to Merritt's Island
on Friday, with team and two horses,
and the theory is that he might have
brought the murderers back to Sacra
mento.. Dye is farmer and butcher

committed by Clark, Dyes partner il
the saloon business, and by Anderson

Packing Eggs.

Finc-cut straw or hay and
clean oats are good materials for
packing eggs, but chaff should
never be used. The packing
should be perfectly sweet and
dry. Place two or three inches
of the material at the bottom
Of the package, then a layer of
eggs with the end toward the
side Of the package, but not
touching the side by an inch or
more; then put on several inch
es Of packing, pressing down
gently with a follower; remove
all but an inch in depth of the
packing and put in another lay
er Of eggs in the same way as
the first, taking care that the
packing is pressed bewteen the
ends of the eggs and the sides
of the package, and so continue
until the last layer is in, which
should be covered with at least
two inches of packing and an
inch of hay, and the cover ofthe
package pressed down closely.
Eggs packed down in this way
can be transported long distan-
ces without injury.

~ 1t is the testimony of
every intelligent officer who has
had experience on the frontier
that the Government, or lis rep
resentatives 10 the shape Of agents,
are in every case responsible for
the Indian outbreaks. Gen. Sher-
man, 10 his annual report, recent.
ly submitted to Secretary Nc
Crary, says: Beyond question
1t was hunger which drove the
Bannocks and Cheyennes to war
this summer, and similar esca-
pades will occur each year unless
these Indians be kept quiet with
more food" These tribes are
strictly the wards of the Ma
lion, and they have been led to
believe that by submitting to
the dictates of the Government
they would be clothed and fed.
But they have been cheated and
defrauded Of their rights so re-
peatedly and left to go hungry
and naked, that the title of In
dian Agent has become synony-
nous with rascality. When
forced to starvation the Indian
has not been educated to APP
peal to the charities of the world,
nor to present pathetic memo
rails to Congress. His first i'm
pulse is the impulse of the saw
age--to seize upon that which
comes first; to rayage and de-
stroy.
