CHINAMAN MURDERED FOR MONEY
About o'clock on Saturday evening Chi
naman, who was the foreman of mining
party of. seven Chinese at mine on the San
Juan grant, at Sailors Bar, on the American
river, about twelve or fourteen miles above
this city, was shot for the purpose of robbery.
He had over $500 in his possession. which the
others knew. The foreman occupied another
cabin from the others, and was lying in his
bunk smoking, when the six appeared at his
cabin and commenced firing at him. He was
shot twice through the lower part OF the
bowels and once through the right hand. He
then fed and crossed the river in boat, and
when he gained the other side called for help,
which was responded to by Mr.. Smith, who
did all he could for his relief, and then sent
him to this city. He arrived at the Court
house between and Z o'clock yesterday
morning, and after his statement had been
taken, he was sent to the County Hos
pital He died from his wounds about
two hours afterwards, and was transferred
to the Coroners rooms in this city, where an
inquest viii be held this evening Coroner
Vermilya, Sheriff Hebron and jailer New
bert went out to the mining camp yesterday
afternoon to investigate the matter, but
found the place entirely deserted and the
money and other articles gone. No trace
was to be found of the six Cinnamon who en-
gagged in the affair. 1t was ascertained that
they kept two lamps burning in the wounded
mans cabin all night to prevent suspicion
that anything was wrong. The direction
which the fugitives took is not known, but it
is singular fact that all the Chinese in this
city seemed to know all about the affair yes.
terday, and were speaking disparagingly of
the deceased as having been a cross foreman,
etc. The Sheriff has the names of the GRIM
inals, and they quite probably related the
affair in this city themselves.
SATURDAYS RACE AT THE PARK-It has
become quite generally recognized that ga
race at the Park" means sell-out on one
side er the other. The judges for the race
advertised to take place ON Saturday at Ag-
ricultural Park were aware OF this fact, and
determined to sit down upon the first
symptom of such an arrangement, declaring
that if such things were to continue, racing
at that place would soon be of SO bad an odor
81 to discontinue all races. The judges were
L. j.. Billings, Robert Mellon and H. S.
Beals. The entries were Stranger by G. Cow
ard, Lady Low by Dan. Clifford, aud Siski-
you Girl by Charles Schlutius. Lady Low,
owned by Cheeny Luce was ruled out after
the first heat, as the judges were satisfied she
was being driven to lose, and they required
change of driver. This was declined, and
Luce had her driven TO the stable. She was
sent for, and. the owner refusing to let her
return to the track, ahe was ruled off the
race course and her stable directed to be va
Gated. The race was won in three straight
heats by Stranger. Time, 2:47, 2:40, 2:46.
Four PER CENT. TAxEs.-At late hour
on Saturday evening the business streets of
the city were strewn with small dodgers,
about by inches in size, with the ominous
announcement printed on both sides, " -Four
per cent. taxes, and nary cent in the treas
ury." 1t Is not known who was the author
of these printed slips, nor who distributed
them, bnt it is we'll known that a most bitter
feeling is unanimously felt against the ma
jority of the Board of Supervisors for their
recent action in relation to allowing $1,000 as
bare retainer fee when there is not cent
in the treasury to pay it, and it must run at
per cent. until January, and that this is only
a foretaste of what may come from the re-
mainder Of the contract with the same at
toruey and his employment of mining ex-
perts at S14 to $50 per day. Those most
anxious for the most speedy trial of the
hydraulic cases denounce the majority Of the
Board upon this matter in unstinted terms,
and demand that something to relieve the
county in the premises be done at once.
OFF FOR THE EAsT.-This evening Senator
Grove L. johnson, of this city, leaves for the
East. He is Great Representative of the Great
Council of California Improved Order of
Red Men, to the Great Council of the United
States of that Order, the session of which he
will attend at Annapolis in the present
month. He is also Grand Representative
from the Order in California to the Sovereign
Grand Lodge of the |. O. o. f., which meets
at Cincinnati on the 10th inst, and which
session he will attend. MIR. Johnson has,
for both Orders, important matters in hand
to present to both bodies. This community,
which is familiar with the tact, energy and
talent of the Senator, will be greatly mis-
taken in their estimate of the ability of their
fellow citizen, If he does not in both cases sue
coed in accomplishing for his fraternal con-
stituencies exactly what they have commits
stoned him to do.
DR. FISHER AND THE INDIAN Troubles
In a recent letter received in this city from
Dr. C. II. Fisher, who, since his conva-
lescence from his recent severe injury, has
been visiting the Hudson Hot Springs, near
Silver City, n. NJ, he writes LAST Satur-
day had busy time in attending to the
wounded who were brought here after fight
between the soldiers and citizens and the
Indians at Gayilon Canyon. ouly seventeen
miles from the Springs. Numbers of legs
and arms were fractured, and several soldiers
were shot through the lungs and bowels.
| These last have been removed to the hospital
at Fort Baysrd." The doctor thinks it prob.
able that there is general uprising Of The
Apaches at the San Carlos Reservation.
ENGINE CAPTURED.-The engine which on
Friday last ran from the track and sent the
Temple of Justice in Washington, Yolo
county, into smithereens has been captured
and brought back TO civilization. In bring.
ing about this result the debris OF the former
Justices Court building was removed, the
engine turned from its side to a proper posi-
ton by the use of iack-screws, and an exca-
yation and side-track made down to it, upon
which it was brought to the grade and regu.
lar track sgain. 1t is not as badly damaged
as would naturally be supposed from the
bender in which it was engaged, but Will re-
quire quite general repairs.

Red Stockings of this city and the Mystics OF
Oakland, resulted in favor of the latter by a
score of z to 6 The Sacramento club was
short two OF its best men on the occasion. AS
the home CLUB is almost uniformly beaten by
visiting clubs it is evident that they lack the
advantage of permanent organization and

or cease engaging in match games.
