A CRUEL LIE.
One of Mi1ler's Pretty Daughters
Vilely Slandered.

One of MiIIer's Pretty Daughters
viIely slandered.
The report sent out the other day by q
sensational telegraphic reporter at Colusa
to the effect that che eldest daughter Of
Huron Miller, the slayer Of DR.. II. J.
Glenn, had been seduced by the Doctor,
proves, says the Chico, CAL, Record, to
have been q most cruel lie, which was
never heard Of in Colusa until it ap-
peared in the papers. f. @. Radcliffe,
writing to the Record from Colusa, says
that the daughters Of Miller are the pref
test girls in that town; that they are re-
fined, and highly respected by the entire
community, and they cut no figure what
ever in the murder trial now in progress.
One of the young ladies earns an honora-
BILE living by teaching school, and also
assists in the support Of her family. A
romantic story is told of one OF them,
which will be quite interesting to those
who have never heard it. 1t is to the
effect that the girl was in love with a
young man Of Industrious habits, and a
hard worker. They had told their love
and we're engaged to wed, having gained
consent Of the parents. But the young
man, a few months before the happy day,
met with o violent death, thus darkening
the prospective happy future. The shock
caused to the girl by the news of her
lovers death was very severe. and she has
been an invalid ever since. She was dam
gerously i'll for many long weeks, and
when she was able to be about again it was
found that she had lost her power Of
speech, and not being able to speak above
a whisper. The young lady was sent to
Oakland for treatment, and while there
she was a guest at the elegant home of DR..
Glenn's family. The people OF Colusa are
indignant that one Of the girls has been
80 severely ~slandered, and it would not be
we'll for the person who started the story
could he be found out. He would probably
become familiar with q coat of tar and
feathers.

r. Ryland, who returned home Sstur-
day night. gives some interesting notes OF
his travels. He saw u good many Eureka
people on his jaunt, among the rest Mr..
Morden, who, he says. is foreman In the
Oregonian Office at Portland. Portland,
he says. is q place OF considerable wealth
and il a town in which first-rate mechan-
les. contractors and builders can get all
the work they want and good pay. Within
the three days he staid there he had a
chance to take hold Of two contracts in
which he could zee big money. But the
climate did not agree with him. He took
the dumb ague, and though everybody
else seemed warm enough, he had to get In
bed and have blankets piled on him. A
physician was called in to prescribe for
him, but he took his own prescription,
which was to jump the country on the
first steamer for San Francisco. He says
this is the boss climate Of the world and
it made him feel well again to take in the
wholesome air. Mr.. Ryland says he met
scores Of people who went to Portland,
which he AYERS Is all Of Oregon, with
from $500 to $40, 900, and dumped it all
in various ventures. Everything, with
pretty nearly the exceptions he gives.
is overdone. He says il q mar can make
any money here he would better never
dream of Oregon and competition with
the Webfeet.

STATE NOTES.

Nevada land sales are increasing. In
June 5000 acres were sold at the State
Land Office, Carson.
The coinage at the Carson Mint for
June, 1888, is as follows: Double eagles,
STA, $40; standard silver dollars, 500, 900.
Total, $214, $40.
The first black walnuts raised in Nevada
were produced on three young trees in
Carson last year by Hon. c. N. Notews2e,
who this year expects q crop Of five
bushels.
This note of warning is sounded in the
ears of Austin people by the Democrat of
that city: The Eureka baseball boys are
keeping up a correspondence with q num-
Der Of our girls.
The men employed On the Carson Il
Colorado construction train have been
knocked off for the present, leaving t.he
present terminus of the road at the b sad
Of Owens Lake.
j. A. Y~errington, youngest son OF H. M.
Yerrington, has gone to Stockton, Cal,
where he will assume the position OF mes
senger for Wells, Fargo 4 Co. on the
Stockton Il Copperoppolis Railroad.
The Tuscarora Times warns people not
to buy young ducks that are being offered
for sale there on the streets by Indians. 1t
is a shameful slaughter of fine game,
unlawful, and calls for the tarbucket.
The Commissioners have put out II
street lamps in Virginia City, in order to
save SSS per month. The Enterprise says
it is a deed of darkness. They had better
apply the $S8 to sprinkling the streets.
The funeral OF Peter Cavanaugh Sr. at
Carson Thursday was largely attended, the
following gentlemen acting as pall-bearers:
Judge Belknap. Capt. s. H. Day. Judge
T. W.. Healey, James F. Farrell, B. F.
Foster and James Baxter.
II. H. Bancroft. the historian, thinks
more acreage in Nevada ought to be turned
to agriculture to increase and perpetuate
the prosperity Of the State, and he thinks
the sinking Of artesian wells a good
scheme. His head is level. Nevada will
yet blossom as a rose. Worse soils than
this have been made garden spots. All we
want is water, and we can got water from
artesian wells.

Benjamin G. Stafford, the ~tireless pros
pector, who has been known in every
camp OF Eastern Nevada, died at Beowawe
Sunday. He had projected a trip into the
mountains, it appears. but got on a spree
which lasted three or four days. He was

enemy being strong drink. He had been

c0uraged by the Public.
ED. SENTINEL: Few Of our people fully
appreciate the services Of Out fremen, their
prompt response to duty, and their heroic
efforts in times Of need and danger. Al
though, perhaps, personally not 80 largely
interested in the safety Of the property Of
the community as many of our well-to-do
citizens, they are at all times willing to
risk health, limb and life in fighting the
destructive element. Not long since one
one poor fellow paid the forfeit Of his life
for his brave endeavors at q fire. He was
not killed outright, but he contracted a
disease by over-exertion and exposure that
was the immediate cause Of his death. He
had no property interest to protect, but
he sacrificed his life for the benefit OF
others. During his illness the company
to which he belonged-the R~escue-speDt
several hundred dollars in ministering to
his wants, and a hundred more to give
him burial. There was no call upon the
community for aid. The company's treas
ury was drawn upon for the necessary
funds. Yet the public, and particularly
property owners, are inclined to look cold
" upon the annual efforts Of fiyemen TO
raise q little money to replenish their de-
pleted treasures. It would seem as il
communities are sometimes very thought
less, and require a little prodding to wake
them up. OF course there are many Of our
citizens who feel grateful to the firemen
for their ~services in the past, and may be
counted on to always cheer the lsddies at
their annual festivities, but there are too
many who are inclined to withhold their
support and presence in a spirit Of mar
row economy and often false social pride.
To give our bremen the proper ambition,
life and strength TO guard our town from
CONGREGATIONS, the community must en-
courage them. otherwise their ardor may
die out and the companies become deci-
mated and unserviceable. Therefore, let
every property holder buy Q ticket to the
Fourth OF July ball Of the Rescue Compa-
ny. A FRIEND OF THE FIREMEN.
