SAM BRANNAN'5 PalNuIPALITY,
The Old California Pioneer Intervlewed-Hs
Ixplodes the Story About the Boodthirsty

from tho g. f. Chronicle, Nav SOL
The Hon. Samuel Branuan-Sam
Brannau, in fact-and looking 1.-THE
same old SAM arrived In this
city yesterday Afternoon from New
York by the southern overland
route. The OF ect of Mr.. Brannan's
return from Mexicu, where he has
resided for the past eighteen
months, is for the purpose OF ar
ranging for the completion of the
survey Of his Sonora lands, where
it is his intention to co.ouize all
A Americans who are sufficiently dis.
p eased with the prevailing civil
service or Uuited States climate to
want to MexicanlZe themselves.
Mr.. Brannan informed IA Chronicle
reporter that he (Nr. Branunn) is
the fortunate p0ssessor of eighty
four square leagues of the best
land in the State of Sonora, be-
tween the Mayo and Yaqui rivers.
This land he has thrown open to
colonization upon terms which he
feels sure ought to attract the at.

being surveyed in tracts Of 100
acres, and every alternate farming
tract and city lot will be donated
free to actual settlers upon pay

"You mean that New York San
story about a bloodthirsty lot of
savages inhabiting my tract?"
The reporter admitted that some
such story might have prompted
the question.
THE INDIAN STORY.
"Well, now, Will tell you all
about that. 1t amt so. The Indi-
aus are over hundred miles from
my grant. The story that colonists
on my tract would be run of or
roasted over slow fires probably
started from some trouble lot of
Guaymss roughs had down there

roughs in question invaded the
iauds of the Indians and tried TO

BADLY BRUISED.
James Duff Has His Left Leg and Arm
Badly Broken by Falling.

Badly Broken By Falling.
Yesterday afternoon, shortly after din
ner, an accident occurred in Centre
Wheeling that was a sickening and hor.
rible one to those that witnessed it, and
a very painful and unfortunate, perhaps
fatal, one to James Duf, OF Clarksburg.
The particulars are az follows:
Workmen are engaged in tearing down
the ruins OF the old City Flour Mills,
and they had just recommended their
work yesterday after dinner. Duff, who
came to the city only day or two ago
and had procured employment at this
place, was standing on some OF the black.
ened and charred rafters OF the second
story. The workmen had fastened Q
rope to another part and were preparing
TO pull it down; they had warned Duff,
but he replied that he was all right.
The men pulled and brought down part
and at the same time Jared the
other part OF the building
30 that rafter over Duff g head fell and
struck him, knocking him to the cellar
and loosening three other large timbers
that followed after. Duff was found
more dead than alive under this. His
left leg was broken in two places, his
left arm mashed to jelly and q big cut
on his head. He was removed to DIR.
Ackermann's office close by, where it
was found that he was 30 badly injured
as to cause it necessary TO remove him
to the hospital.
DR.. Edwards procured the necessary
order from the President OF the County
Commissioners and a wagon was pro.
cured, but the jolting over the bad
streets was such as TO call forth screams
OF agony from the man, whom, it is sup
posed, is badly injured internally. He
could not, in fact, be removed in wagon
and lounge was procured and he was
thus carried by men.
DR.. Wilson, the county physician,
took charge, but the man was co in
jured that, although amputation OF the
arm will be necessary, he was too weak
yesterday to stand it.
Duff has q brother named Alexander
DUFF, who runsa planning mill at Clarks-
burg. He also has a wife living about
twelve miles from Clarksburg, both OF
whom were telegraphed.
