BUTTE CITY.
What an Old BOdieite Thinks of
the PIace-It Has the Character
isties of An Eastern Town.
Bodie Free Press.

Matt. Gillespie has just received a letter
from a friend in Butte City, Montana,
from which we are permitted to make the
following extracts:
BUTTE CITx, July 10, 1881.
I find it as quiet here on Sun
day as in the East, and everything carried
out on Eastern principles. On the seventh
day church bells ring and tell the time for
religious services. Then the sidewalks are
blockaded with pedestrians wearing faces
as long as your>arm, and no doubt their
pockets are lined with fve-cent pieces, as
much of that money is used here in bust
ness. 1t makes a Western man sick to see
the way business is carried on here. The
mines are all first-class, with good pros
poets, but the machinery is very much like
the principles-trifing in every respect.
Nearly all the hosting works could be
packed away by two men. At this writ
ing I observe from the window of my room
three men lifting into a wagon an old
hosting engine, to be placed on some new
works. Economy is used in every branch
of business. The board we get here is not
fit to eat. Meals are so and IS cents each;
lodgings, 80 cents per night; drinks, 12h
and % cents. Everything is placed higher
than in bodie, and not half SO good. Any
body who could get into business here
would do we'll, but there is no such thing
as renting or leasing aplace to do business
in not even a dwelling house to rent can
be found in the whole camp. The place is
overrun, and l soon expect to hear of peo-
pie suffering. Hundreds are daily coming
in and leaving for other camps. There
are hundreds Of idle men here, and it is
almost impossible to get a job. There are
seven or eight Bodieites here, and we all
room in the same house. Most Of Vi have
work. Barkeepers get from S75 to 500 a
month, board and room. BARRIERS receive
S35 per week. Miners wages are SO so and
81 per day. 1 would not advise any one
in California to come here at present.

Especial to the SENTINEL

New YORK, July 2l.-The Herald's Paris
special says: Our St. Petersburg CORE
spondent telegraphs tonight fresh partic-
ulars concerning the recent plot laid to
assassinate the Gear. NJ. Baroneoff, the
Chief Of Police, had received an anony-
nous letter, stating that on the 18th of
July the Gar was to be a~ssassinated. The
letter contained nothing more. Baroneoff
made inquiries in every direction, and as
certained that a young student had COM
mitted suicide under extraordinary cir
cumstances. The man having first run
himself through with a sword without
having injured a vital part, then lodged a
bullet from his revolver in his left temple,
and then, finding himself still alive, fired
again in the temple and in the gaping
wound made by the sword. This deter
mined suicide awakened Baroneoff's sus-
picions. He found the man apparently
dead, but in fact still breathing and in a
swoon. B~aroneoff, by the aid OF the doc
tors, caused the student to come to his
senses and speak. The student declared
that he had formed part of a secret society
of twenty Nihilists, who had sworn to kill
the Emperor. They had drawn lots, and it
had fallen to his lot to carry out the plan
Of the murder on the 18th of July. Nine
teen daggers were suspended over his
head, and his brother Nihilists swore to
kill him if he showed any hesitation, but
Notwithstanding their threat, his heart
failed him, and he resolved to die by his
own hand. Before committing the act he
had written to Baroneoff his conviction
that one of the conspirators would at once
take his place. The student lived till the
18th Of July. Before breathing his last he
revealed the names of his brother Nihilists,
who have all been secured by the police.
WIMBLEDON, July 2l.-Yesterday the
Prince Albert jewel contest, at the 1000
yards range, was again won by the Ameri-
cans. Scott, of the American team, won
it in 1880, and Milton Farrow, also of the
American team, won it in 1879. This year
Frank Hyde, of the American team, and
Captain Godsall, of the Second Bucking-
Regiment, each made a score of
10 out of a possible Is, and in shooting off
the tie, Hyde made three bulls-eyes against
Captain Godsall's two inners and one
bulls-eve, thus winning the prize.

M. Reeds Dead Body FOund-A
Disastrous Runaway - Charles
Pickett Arrested for Rape.
PORTLAND, July 21.-James Robinson OF
Umatilla county, on the 18th inst, was
kicked in the stomach by a vicious horse,
from the effects of which he soon died.
The body of man named M. Reed was
found on Monday near Hefner, Umatills
county. Reed had been drinking very
heavily, to which cause his death was at
tributable.

but as soon as the river recedes a large

A disastrous runaway occurred in Lost
Valley, Wasco county, on the 18th inst.
The eldest son of Mr.. Balding, aged 10
years, hitched up his horses to take his
sister and a four-year-old brother for a
ride. The horses ran away and the wagon
upset, throwing all of them out. The
youngest boy was instantly killed and the
girl badly bruised. The Oldest boy is so
seriously injured that his life is des-
paired of.
Charles Pickett of Clackamas county
was arrested yesterday, charged with at
tempting to outrage a girl II years old.

Printer in Luck.

Wood River News: John G. Young, at
one time on the Salt Lake Tribune staff
and one Of the typographical craft, gener-
ally speaking, is in luck and no mistake.
Johnny got tired of hanging about print
shops, and concluded last Spring that he
would try his luck with pick and shovel.
He came to Wood River, and, not like the
majority of prospectors who outfit for
some other country a hundred miles fur
Their on, he prospected about near the
towns. Every day he climbed upon the
hills about Bellevue and HALEY, and last
Thursday was rewarded by uncovering q
large body Of galena on the mountain west
of HALEY. 1t is now stripped for 25 or
80 feet, and thus exposes tons of rich ore
chunks of galena rolling out from the
size of ones fist to that as large as a bush
ell measure. The prospect is worth S10,-
900 as it looks to-day. This good luck has
not set John to looking over his glasses as
yet. He greets his friends as of yore. The
mine has been recorded as the Japan"

THE INFECTED SESSIONS.

Says the New York Express: Beau
tiful to see how tenderly the Admins
tration Republicans treat Sessions, who
is under indictment for bribery, and has
confessed what should drive any man
out of public life. They coddle him,
put HIM on committees, and show him all
sorts of delicate attentions. Such sym
pathy is truly affecting. 1t seems that
Sessions knows too much for their COM
fort. and if occasion requires he can a
tale unfold that would put more than one
callow Republican statesman in a limbo
in comparison with which Hades is a
fashionable summer resort"

THE PRESIDENTS CONDITION.

President Garheld seems to be getting
along very nicely, with the exception
OF a want of strength in his legs. This
Will probably return very promptly with
use. The limbs naturally become weak
and benumbed from long confinement.
1t is the case with all sick people. The
President has so far recovered as to be
able to sit up occasionally for a short
period. This Of itself would seem to
indicate that all danger OF fatal termi-
nation had passed. He will get firm on
his pins again in time.

THE ALBANY CONTEST.

1t is extremely perpIexing that the tel
egraph fails to inform US what was done
at Albany yesterday. A brief dispatch,
evidently sent early in the day, states
that the indications were unfavorable to
a choice. Beyond this, we have nothing
on the subject. Whether the Legisla-
ture adjourned without an election or de-
termined to remain in session a few days
longer, must be left wholly to conjecture.
