MURDER OF MIR. KucHENrHAL.

The Amador Dispatch of the 10Th inst.
gives the following account of the murder of
Mr.. Kuchenthal, who was the clerk of lfr.
Erauw of this city, in his store at Oieta, in
Amador county Last Wednesday MORN
ing the citizens of Oleta were startled and
horrified at the discovery of the body Of
Henry Kuchenthal, an old and highly re-
spected resident of that place, who had been
brutally murdered in the store of Peter
Erauw, of which he had been in charge for
several years past, during the night before.
The body Of deceased was lying near the
rear of the store-room, face downward.
and on pillow that had not been
used in the building, with three fatal
ak gashes in the back portion of the
lead, and the head mashed in near the ear
evidently with the back Of the ak that did
the cutting. 1t is said that either of the four
wounds would have caused almost instan-
taneous death. The body had evidently been
dragged ten or twelve feet from the place Of
murder. Nothing Of value was taken from
the store, and naught could be seen to indicate
anything but wantop, brutal, blood-thirsty
desire to murder. Coroner Schacht held an
inquest on the body Wednesday evening, and
post mortem examination made by DIR. Z.
| Y. Brown, when the above facts were elected.
| The deed was perpetrated with new
| ak, taken from the store and undoubt-
edly in the evening before Mr.. Kuch.
enthal had closed the store for the night.
Bloody tracks were traced down the back
steps of the store, while evidences of blood
were also found in the front. As yet there is
no clue as to who the murderers are, aud not
even suspicion rests on any one, as deceased
was not known to have an enemy anywhere.
Everything connected with the sad affair is
enshrouded in deep mystery. Deceased was
unmarried, native Of England, about 81
years of age and highly bonored and re-
apected in the community where he lived.
| The officers are doing all in their power to
find some circumstance from which to COM
mence their detective operations, but as yet
the tracks of the murderers appear to have
| been well and ski'lfuliy concealed.

To tho Editor Of the Eagle.
You say Billy Ross didn't get the Gould
road. Well. neither did the man in the
moon; one looked ior it with rs deep inter-
est as the other, and felt equally disappoin.-
ed by the abortion. feel sorry that your
gushing sympathy has been thrown away.
Like Artemus Ward, when the urchin show
cd him headstone in the old graveyard At
Stratforj-or-Avon and told him it was Bill
Shakespeare, you are mourning over the
wrong grave. Better reserve your condo
lenec for the ''poor, simple, con6ding Gran
gers, that didn't get the competing line"
you pledged them. You have got them so
badly frightened with one humbug and an
other. that they voted against the fve-mill
tax to build themselves decent courthouse
they said it was another internal swindle.
if their masters should submit proposition
to furnish the money TO release the mort
cages on their farms, provided they should
vote in favor Of it, they have been SO badly
deceived in the past. they would swear there
was some swindle about 1t, aud it would be
defeated by q big majority.
You may try TO make light Of this ''Gould''
business, but 1t won't do. Under just sys-
TEN Of railroad building, and railroad opera
ton, they would be blessing to the people.
But under the present system, every mile OF
Gods free soil that Is spanned by railroad,
is SO much Of it laid under vassalage to the
Corporations" 1 can see no reason fol-
congratulating ourselves over their building.
Yours truly, WM. Ross.

As last year, the alternate freezing and thaw-
