NO TRUTH IN THE SENSATIONAL STORIES
ABOUT P. S. 0'BRIeM.
HE TURNS UP SAFE AND SOUND.
Execution of Two Indian Chiefs.

SAN Francisco, January IL.
There proves to be no truth in the sensa-
tional stories about the mysterious disap-
pearance of p. s. O'Brien, the newly-found
brother OF the deceased millionaire from
Baldwin's Hotel, or in the supplementary
one, that the claim of the brother upon the
O'Brien estate had been settled by the pay
ment Of a large sun of money. The fact
is that, at the invitation of Mr.. MacDon-
ough and his wife, p. S. OBrien, with bis
wife and daughter, have gone to Menlo
Park, the residence Of the former, to pay
a visit. They left the Baldwin on Wednes-
day evening, and there was no secrecy at
all. The remarks that any claim p. 5.
O'Brien may have upon his brothers es-
tate has been settled, is demonstrated to be
false by the fact that the executors have no
power to act in the premises without first
obtaining an order from the Probate Court.
A dispatch from Pendleton, ON the 9th
instant, via Walla Walla of the 18th, re-
ports the execution of the Indian MUIR
derers, White Owl and Quittitumps, who
were hanged at half-past2 P. NJ. A strong
guard of regulars and militia were on
duty to prevent a possible rescue, but
nothing of the kind was attempted. The
chiefs were dressed in full Indian cos
tunes, and preserved throughout the
stoicism of their race, both dying with the
death chant on their lips.

The Pittsburgh Dispatch says: "f Jim
Anderson is really a Nevada editor now
we shall expect soon to hear that he has
climbed the golden stair. He cannot help
distorting the truth about somebody, and
such an offenso in that barbarous land
causes a speedy vacancy in the editorial
chair by means Of a short shrift and a
quick bullet" The editor of the Dispatch
is either an ass or o falsifier. There is
less crime committed in this section, in
proportion to the population, than there is
in Pittsburg. AS for barbarism-well,
should he desire to learn the common
courtesies and amenities Of life, let him
to Eureka and make such an asser-
ton. We extend to him a cordial invita-
ton.

THE COURr-HOUsE BILL.

The bill of Mr.. Cassidy, authorizing the
Board Of County Commissioners to build
q Courthouse, appears in this issue OF the
SENTINEL. Its main features may be
briefly summarized as follows 1t locates
the building on the present sight of our
Courthouse; limits the cost, including fur
niture, to $45, 900; provides for transfer
Of moneys at intervals through the sum-
mer, as the work progresses, from the Gen.
eral and Current Expense und to the
Courthouse Fund authorizes the Com
m~issioners, should the revenue run short
through fire or other unforeseen accident,
70 negogotiate a loan of ten thousand dol
lars, or any part thereof, running not less
than two years, at a rate of interest not to
exceed twelve per cent. per annum; pro-
vides that should the Courthouse not be
be built during the present year, the terms
of the bill shall, in all respects, be made
applicable to the year 1850, and finally
directs that any money remaining in the
Courthouse Fund when the work shall
have been completed shall revert to the
General and Current Expense Funds,
from whence it was obtained. The
bill seems to be well guarded, and 1t
will doubtless meet the approval OF tax
payers. 1t is not made incumbent upon
the Commissioners to expend the whole OF
the s45, 900. They may do the work for
much less if they can, but they cannot go
beyond the sum appropriated. 1t was Mr..
Cassidy's opinion when he left home that
q suitable building could be erected and
furnished for less than $4,000, but he
doubtless determined that it would better
to make the appropriation a little larger
rather than incur the risk of hampering
or embarrassing the completion OF the
work. If the Board or any one else have
suggestions to offer, they now have an OPP
portunity to do SO before the final passage
Of the bill.

CUTTING A BOYS THROAT TO
SAVE HIS LIFE.

On Christmas night, says the Cincinnati
Enquirer, a young lad named Henry Brink
err, who resides at the corner of Central
avenue and Water street, while eating
hickory nuts, swallowed a piece of the
shell of one about the size Of a dime,
which lodged in his throat and resisted all
attempts to remove it by coughing or 9TH
erwise. He did not experience much in
convenience from it, however, and vent to
bed. About 3 o'clock in the morning he
woke up choking and deathly sick, and
rapidly became worse. His step-father,
Mr.. John Schwartz, accompanied by his
brother, started out in search Of a doctor,
but though at that time it was but half
past 3 O'Clock it was 8 O'Clock before they
could get one to come to the house. They
called on at least a dozen physicians, all Of
whom, on n pretense or another, refused
to come to see the boy, though they were
told he was dying. Finally, DR.. Davis
came, but on seeing the lad, said he was too
far gone for any good to be done. He gave
them a prescription, however, for an emetic
which he told them to administer and left
promising to return at noon. In the
meantime another messenger who had
been dispatched for a physician returned
with Drs. Dawson and McMechan, and the
latter, on seeing the boys condition, de-
termined to resort to a surgical operation
to save his life. With DR.. McMechan's
assistance DR.. Dawson made an incision
across the throat and inserting a dull probe
scraped away the tissues until he reached
that portion of the windpipe called the
trachea, which he cut open. He then in
serted a wire with which he felt around for
the obstruction. 1t was found in the
larynx, where it had lodged, and, being
sharp-edged, had cut the flesh and the
blood had got into the bronchial tubes, fill
ing them and rendering breathing almost
impossible. After the nut had been re-
quantity of this blood. The wound hav-
ing been sewn up, he breathed qnite freely
and last night was resting easily after the
operation.

Ex-senator FO0te in His OH Age.
From the Omaha sHerald."1

l saw the white-haired feeble father-in-
law of one of the Senator Bonanza Kings
this morning, and the apparition set me
thinking. The father-in-law himself had
formerly been a Senator of the United
States, a Governor of a State and a member
Of the Confederate Congress. lie is now a
very old man, boarding at a cheap house
for SIS per month, wearing a dreadfully
seedy black coat, and pantaloons all frayed
at the bottom, but still retaining, in his
air and manners, a reminiscencc of the
dignity of his lost estate.
He is a man of unbounded vanity and
great physical courage. He fought two
duels with pistols with the late Sargent S.
\ Prentiss. Just before the bombardment
commenced, Mr.. Prentiss saw some boys
who had climbed a tree at a safe distance
to his right to see the fun. He called
out to them: ''Get down, little boys;
Foote might hit you.' This contempt
of the craftsmanship of his antago-
! mist was deemed sufficient cause for
another challenge, and Mr.. Prentiss had to
meet Mr.. Foote again, when, l believe, he
wounded him in the foot.s

A BIG story comes from the Shenandoah
Valley, Virginia. 1t is all about a peddler
who, for three successive nights, dreamed
OF finding a great quantity of money mp a
particular tree. Assisted by q farmer,
the tree was felled, the agreement having
been made that the spells were to be equal
iy divided. Down came the tree. A cavity
was discovered, and with it So, 900 in
silver. The peddler expressed his unwill-
ingness to carry about so much silver; so
the farmer took the whole amount, paying
the peddler 50, 500 in good ~greenbacks.
The peddler vanished into infinite space,
but when the farmer tried to pass the dol
lars he found that they were counterfeit;
and he begins to doubt whether the ped
dler dreamed any such dream at all.

VIRGINIA CRY, January II.
At one O'Clock this morning the shaft of
the main engine at the Consolidated Vir-
ginia works broke, and before the engine
could be got under control a tremendous
amount of damage was done. Fragments
of the machinery flew in all directions, al
most demolishing the interior of the build
ing. The air compressor, at the rear, was
broken in two, the timbers and rafters re-
duced to kindling wood, and a piece of the
engine, weighing 800 pounds, was sent
clear through the roof, smashing up a cot
tage GOO feet away. The workmen were all
the morning clearing away the debris. By
noon, to-day, the damage was estimated at
SO, coo. New machinery was telegraphed
for at once. No one was hurt.

NO GOOD RESULTS FROM CHOAK-
ING.

There is q large class of persons in this
country whose ~fayorite method of seeking
to advance the interests Of American in
dustries has been to go about with prog
nostications of widespread, general and
hopeless ruin in case some particular
legislative measure should be passed into
q law, or some other measure be left neg
lected. We have never believed in the Elf
cacy of that regime. Cracking never yet
did any good. Lamentations never re-
strained bad measures or aided in the pas
sage or enforcement of good ones. Salts
fed by long observation that the greatest
possible evil was done to domestic indus
tries by thus creating a state of sentiment
that diffused a lack of confidence, and pre-
vented the investment Of capital in pro-
ductive industries, and the connected mer-
chandising operations, we have done our
utmost to encourage the directly opposite
policy bold operations, daring enter
prises, %sanguine feeling, %buoyancy of ten
permanent, increasing investments of capt.
tai, and an aggressive policy generally.
1t cannot be too frequently and too yehe-
mently proclaimed that this nation means
to have no more irredeemable money, and
this greatest of all producers of the pre-
cious metals must and shall have a sound
metallic currency. 1t 10 also high time
that the payment of honest debts became a
rule in business as it is in banking and
currency. The astounding effect Of the
National Bankrupt law was enough
to disgust all honorable citizens with
such systems. American manufacturers
have nothing now to wait for or to fear.
No legislation that Congress is likely to
play at, is likely to affect domestic pro-
duction seriously. 1t is now proper for all
to understand that Congressional currency
and ta~riff-tinkering do not retard the ope-
fations Of our own mines and works, while
they do r%uinously interfere with all legiti-
mate foreign commerce. OF course, if
general business had not been so hampcred
by the shocking extent of the epidemic
bankruptcy and the political agitation, the
volume of trade would have been i'm
mensely large. And now that we have
effectually got rid of the bankrupt system,
and the irredeemable paper basis, the pros
pect ahead is one of especial brightness
and promise. OF what use, then, is the
eternal croaking and lamentation about
impending ruin as sure to follow the enact
ment or refusal of particular measures
Has it ever helped any struggling indus
try? Has it ever infused hope and conf
dence into those who NEEDED it? There can
be but one answer to such queries, and
that is that American industry requires no
pity or commiseration.
