The CASE OF DIR. DIxoE.-The state Line
Herald of September l0sh, published at
Oregon, says: "0ar readers win
remember that in the latter part of last May
Dr.. Dixon. of Sacramento, Cal, was accused
by George Small. John Partin. Jr., and
Others Of Summer Lake aud Silver Lake
valleys, this county, of grand larceny in
killing end apPropsilting to his own use
heifer, the property of Partin and billiard.
Dr.. Dixon aud the members Of his cattle
party were arrested, and the doctor held to
answer before the Grand Jury. He de-
posted checks as surety for his appearance
snd went home. Many asserted that he had
skipped the country, and would not return.
Such were surprised when, on last Friday. he
appeared in company with his attorney, Mr.
Clay W. Taylor, District Attorney of Shasta
county, Cal, and declared his intention to
sand by the matter until justice was done.
He declared it not to be 8 question of dollars
and cents, but of right and justice. On
Thursday last the Grand Jury, after consid-
eriog his case for three days and calling many
witnessed, declared that there was no evil
dence against the doctor by returning 10 bill
against him."
The BURIAL OF Mrs. SHEEHAN.-The
mortal remains Of Mrs, J. T. Sheehan were
consigned to the tomb yesterday at the City
Cemetery. The funeral took place from the
late residence of the deceased. on FL street,
and was very largely attended. The floral
offerings were Of unusual beauty and were
very numerous. The designs were of the
character usual on such occasions, but were
in nearly every instance worked out with
EXQUISITE TASTE. Rev. j. II. G.. Bonte, of
was the officiating clergyman, and
the burial service prescribed by
the ritual Of the Protestant Episcopal Church,
it with brief euIogium upon the
character of the deceased lady. A male
quartet, consisting of Goodwin Mcneil, G. II.
Putnam. W. A. Ereen an and Mr.. Buchan-
an, with Miss Amelia Bohl as aecompanist,
sang in the service at the house, and the sane
quartet also sang az the grave. The prcces-
sion which followed the remains from the
house to the grave was very long. The pail
bearers were Governor George G.. Perkins,
James AIcClatchy, W. G. Van Fleet, VIM.
H. Mills, w. a. Houghton, Horatio Hurd,
q. H. Hubbard and John II. Carroll.
As WELL TO BE PREpARED.-The city is
lust now receiving into it such horde Of dis
characters, that it is just as well
for every body to be prepared to second the
efforts Of the police to give them warm re-
ceptian. The very offsc0nrings OF the new
title given it by the revised version seems
to have poured into the city, and they must
expect TO make enough by nook or by crock
to get cut of town with. A good supply OF
Calling guns On back pOrches, strong guard
by night at remote residences, and q fresh
supply If bolts and locks, will be precautions
worth considering for adoption. The regi-
ment Of rascals already here ought to under
stand that they will receive warm welcome
by forewarnea people.
