ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
SAN Francisco, March ia Tomb
stone dispatch says that Morgan carp was
assassinated while playing a game OF bill
lizards in a saloon tonight. The shot was
fred through a glass door. His brother,
Wyatt, who was sitting near, was also shot
at, but was not hit. The assassins escaped.
carp died at midnight. There is great ex-
element. The tragedy was not unexpected,
as since the fight between the carp brothers
and the cowboys, last November, threats
of assassination have been constant and
some attempts made.
A dispatch from Emigrant Gap says:
Two sections of the %west-bound passenger
and emigrant train, of three days ago, left
here yesterday afternoon with the west
bound train at Blue Canyon, which had
been stuck there four days ago. They got
through.
The east-bound trains reached this place
yesterday forenoon. About 600 men are
working west Of Blue Canyon trying to
keep the road open. The storm ragged
furiously last night, the SNOW drifting
badly. The snow pillow stuck west OF Blue
Canyon, and another blockade seems i'm
minent.
A later dispatch says the snow-plow
bound west is stuck about three miles west

train cannot get out until morning. No
trains can get through to-day. 1t is snow
ing hard.
A dispatch from Alta says the situation
is very discouraging. The road was opened
last night and trains passed. A heavy
snowstorm has been raging since, and it
is deemed impossible to keep the road
clear. The SNOW is five feet deep. A vio-
lent snowstorm is prevailing at Truckee.
A furious snowstorm is raging at Vir-
ginia City, and the snow is already three
feet deep.
A dispatch from Carson says the road is
impossible between there and Reno, from
snowdrifts. Neither stage nor train can
reach them.
Five hundred and lightweight COM
plants for violating the Sunday Law were
filed this morning. All, or nearly all,
are against saloons and cigar stands.
Complaints were filed against several
theaters and music halls, but the Prose-
cutting Attorney declined to take action on
them, holding that they do not come
within the law.
A Dalles (Ogn.) dispatch says that two
men were shot and instantly killed on the
18th near Willow Greek by Lucine Lang
don. The names of the killed are A. H..
Crooks and A. j. Jory. Langdon, after
shooting, mounted his horse and escaped.
A large posse are in pursuit. The trouble
is supposed to have grown out of a law
suit.
LATER.-A second dispatch from Dalles
says that LUCENT Langdon and a man in
his employ named Harrison, were arrested
at Langdon's residence. on the charge OF
killing Crooks and Jory, by a posse of
citizens, and turned over to a Deputy
Sheriff. After reaching the hotel a party
of masked men oyerpowered the guard
and shot Langdon dead. Harrison was
hanged to the trestlework Of the bridge.
None Of the perpetrators have been identi-
fed. Nothing has been ascertained to i'm
plicate Harrison in the murder OF Crooks
and Jory, and his only offense seems to
nave been that he was in Langdon's
employ.
ALTA (Cal.l No March .19.-The situation
this evening is less encouraging than at
any time since the ommencement of the
storm. The snow blockade is between
this place and Blue Canyon, which was
opened late last night. The delayed trains
passed safely through this morning, since
when the storm has been increasing in its
violence until now. The ceaseless snow
fall is accompanied by tornadoes that
wbirl snow drifts wildly, binding those
exposed, and not u~nfrequently uprooting
trees. The snow plows are plying con-
stantly between this point and Emigrant
Gap, in the effort to prevent another block
ade, but success is doubtful if the storm
continues.
NEVADA Cry, March 19.-The snow was
ten feet deep at Eureka, south, in this coun-
ty, yesterday, and six feet at Moore's
Flat. Communication between the latter
place and North Bloomfield is cut off. The
mails have to be carried in ON snow shoes.
1t has been raining here more or less all
day. Should a warm rain com OH,
Marysville and the lower country will un-
doubtedly be flooded.
BoDIE, March 20.-John I. CHM, j. @.
Kemp and John F. Heating came in from
Lundy on snowshoes on Sunday evening,
and reported q terrible accident in Lake
Canyon. As the result of the recent storm,
on Wednesday night q snowslide occurred,
which buried several men, four Of whom
were killed. Their names are Robert
Trumbull, Alex. McKeon. D. D. Grant
and Henry Schumacher, the latter a ma
chinist and engineer recently from San
Francisco, where he leaves q wife and
three children. The bodies of all but
Grant were recovered on Friday, and left
in the snow. During the night another
snowslide occurred, and the bodies were
buried under As feet Of snow, where
they o are. In all, upwards Of forty-flve
Greek Canyons between Wednesday and
Saturday. and in all 38 people were buried
in the canyon and at Tioea District, where
the great Sierra Mining Company are op-
Grating. The only serious injury done to
any person except those heretofore men
toned, was Christian Habetzel, who was
under eight feet Of snow 10 hours. He
was alive Sunday morning, but little hope
was entertained OF his recovery. The
snowfall in Mill Greek Canyon averaged
six feet. and higher up in he Sierras IS
feet. In the immediate neighborhood Of
Bodie the snow is four feet deep. We have
been almost isolated here as regards mails
and telegraph for nearly q week. The
stage arrived from Hawthorne Sunday,
which was SO hours on the road, a distance
OF SO miles. There has been no stage from
since last Thursday. The last
one in was six hours in making the last
into town.
