PACIFIC COAST ADvICES.
ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
Praying for the Appointment Of a
Receiver.

IsfEOiAb TO THE bEHTIHEL.I
Praying for the Appointment Of a
Receiver.
SANTA Rosa, June 28.-The plaintiff in
the Cotton trial, now in progress here, has
filed a petition in the Superior Court Of
Sonoma county, praying for the appoint.
ment Of a Receiver for the Central aud
Sou their Pacific Railroads. The petition
sets forth the fact of the bringing Of the
suit against defendants, for them to make
allegation, that since the suit was com
menced defendants nave the intention, and
have always pursued a policy which has
had, to a great extent, the depreciation in
the market value of the companies securi-
ties. 1t is charged that the intent Of this
policy was so as to affect the assets of the
companies, that in case the suit be de-
cided against the defendants, that they
would be able to plead inability to satisfy
the judgment. The defense is given 10
days 10 which to show cause why the petit
ton should not be granted.
LATER.-The statement telegraphed to-
day from Santa Rosa that a petition for the
appointment Of q Receiver for the Central
and Southern Pacific Railroad Companies
had been filed in the Sonoma County Su-
perior Court by the plaintiff in the Cotton
case is denied by Judge McKissick, counsel
for defendants. He states that q petition
was filed praying that particular securities
in the controversy between the plaintiff
and defendants be placed in the custody of
a Receiver, SO as to prevent defendants
from negotiating them.
Dead Bodies Found.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 2S.-The dead
bodies of a man and woman were found
to-day near Fruit Vale, Alameda county.
An investigation brought out the following
facts: On Tuesday q man, accompanied by
a woman, registered at a hotel in Oakland
az A. johnson. They left the hotel and
nothing more was heard of them until the
finding of their bodies, to-day, by children
playing in the vicinity where the tragedy
occurred. Circumstances lead to the
belief that it was mutually agreed to by
the pair to die together, and that the man
first shot the woman, and having made
certain of her death, placed a revolver in
his mouth and blew his own brains out.
A note was found on the body of the man
which indicated that the couple were mar
ried, and that the cause that led to the
fatal deed was the loss of $3.50, all the
money they possessed.
Four Mem Drowned.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 28.-While a small
boat, engaged in repairing the telephone
cable between Benicis and Port Costa, was
lying near the latter place, she was run
into by the ferryboat Solano, and the four
men who were in her were drowned. Their
names were Coon Sweeney, James Fox.
Conn Brosman and E. Rouleau.

DOCTOR ~BERGMAN'S CASE.
A Physician who is Having Much
Experience i'm Courts.

Experience i'm Courts.
The Carson Appeal has the following re-
lative to the case of Doctor Bergman,
whose case has been occupying the atten-
ton Of the Washoe District Court and the
Supreme Court to a great extent of late:
Hardly a day passes that Doctor Berg
man, the Reno physician, is not arrested
and taken before a Court. Sometimes it
is the District Court of Washoe, and some
times the Supreme Court of the State. A
few days ago he was up here On q writ of
habeas corpus, which, we believe. was dis
missed. Day before yesterday he was again
arrested in Reno, and the case came up
before the Supreme Court. The history of
this peculiar case is as follows: Some
months ago a man named Russell, in Reno,
sued Doctor Bergman for damages, slleg-
ing malpractice. Russell had a fall in
which his jaw was broken and his arm badly
crushed, and Doctor Bergman left his jaw
in such a condition that the fractured
parts did not unite, and his arm is COM
paratively useless. The jury gave Russell
a verdict of So, 700 damages, but when the
Sheriff ATTEMPTED to dispose of Bergman's
property at forced sale, the crafty doctor
had already sold it and sent the money
SIG, OO0-back to relatives in Germany.
The property wal we'll worth $40, 900, 80 it
will be seen that he lost more in the sale
than he beat the plaintiff out Of. Bergman
has since been arrested several times on
charges connected with the transaction of
putting his property ont of the way to de-
fraud his creditors. Under the law, he
can be incarcerated just as long as Russell
is willing to pay his board at $3.50 q day,
and Russell says that, if he once gets him
in Jail, he will pay his board as long as he
lives, and that he has registered a vow
never to let him out. The case is begin
ing to assume some interesting phases"

Actors have a dispiriting outlook for
next season. Managers anticipate bad
business in consequence Of the distraction
of the Presidential canvass. Not since the
introduction of the combination system
have fewer performers been engaged nor
smaller salaries offered. Those who last

only get $40 to so.

1t appears that the recent troubles at
Bristol are all over-that is to say, there
ia no further trouble in the town. The
latest intelligence is that Bristol is almost
depopulated, nearly all the men having
been summoned over to Phoebe to attend
the preliminary examination of three par
ties mentioned as having taken part in the
rumpus, to wit: Messrs. Kelly, Kelsey
and McShane. 1t is impossible to get any
reliable information as to the circum-
stances of the affair.

in addition to those disabled, we took many

brought in thirteen Confederates with their
arms and equipments. Besides, we captured

the dead and robbed them of their valuables,
and had thrown them over the works into the
ditch and partially covered them. After tarry-
ing there we went under the bluff where the
hospital tent had stood. There we found about
seventy dead Federals. The men had been
sent TO the tent TO have their wounds dressed.
Imagine, if you can, what our feelings were
while contemplating this horrible butchery,
knowing, too, as we did. that the author
Chalmers-was on board of St. Louis transport
lying within thirty yards of the scene, swagger-
ing about the bar drinking and Boosting of his
feats Of the day previous, to the entertainment
OF lot Of rebel sympathizers who were there.
Major Bradford, we learned from citizen
living IN the vicinity, had been shot that very
mQrning in the latter's dooryard by the order
Of General Chalmers, because he commanded
negro soldiers. He told us that the major had
pleaded hard for mercy, claiming the privileges
of prisoner of war and declaring that he had
only done his duty as a soldier. But no mercy
was shown him, although he had surrendered
with the express understanding that he was to
be treated as prisoner of war, as both saw
and heard myself After the massacre the
wife of Major Booth desired to recover his body,
and accordingly detachment of soldiers went
up from Memphis to recover it for her. They
foand grave under the bluff marked Major
! Booth, )" but on opening it they found the body
OF negro. Major Booths body was never
found.
On the day of the massacre was at my post

ing until u midnight. ] was the only pilot
on board at the time. Three hours of that time
/ was the only person on board who could see
the enemy. Every one else was down on the
lower deck The pilot-house was not proof
against anything but musketry, but even a
four-pound solid shot would hardly penetrate
the lower deck You can form some idea of the
trial they gave u.s. for both the chimneys were
completely riddled with muslet-balls, and
finally fell down from the effects and the cabin
and everything in it was a complete wreck
lamps. dishes, and looking glasses.
Now, in conclusion, permit me to say that
was not the only one on that boat who was in
favor of renewing the battle as soon as dis
covered that the rebels were violating flag
Of truce. The executive officer, Ensign
Sthetky heartily conceded with me- and even
the men were eager to renew the fight. but we
had to obey Captain Marshalrs. orders he
was afterwards dismissed from the United
States service for drunkenness.

Mosby's men were still giving us trouble and
there was very little rest for us cavalry1nen

lighted, but our color-sergeant-C lark-wrote
to the New York Sunday Mercury that if it had
