The Duty of Staying Him Falls on His
Brother.
The news of the killing of the Pute In
dian who murdered the Mineral Park and
Ell Dorado Canyon mail-carrier on July 10Th
was brought here last Tuesday by miner
from the canyon, says the Mojave Miner
The whites were considerably excited over
the murder and had every reason to believe
that should the murderer 20 unpublished
other misdeeds would be perpetrated by
bad members Of the tribe. 1t was known
that the guilty Indian was secreted by the
tribe, and every means was brought to bear
whites, but for several days all efforts
proved futile
In the meantime the Indians held DOW
vows and finally told the whites that they
had concluded to kill the guilty Indian, and
that lots had been cast and the duty Of kill
ing him had fallen to a brother of the muir
derer, and that he was already on his way
to perform his mission. In few hours the
Indian returned bringing big toe and an
ear which he said were taken from his
brothers body and he had killed him. The
whites were not satisfied with the evidence
furnished and insisted on being shown the
dead body.
After considerable parley the Indians
consented that number of W bite men could
go with the Indian and be shown the dead
one. The body was found several miles
from the canyon and the proof being Suffi-
cient the whites were satisfied. Forty dol
lars and the mail-carriers pistol aud car

A DANGEROUS MAN.
He Is Out OF Harms Way for the Present
Least.

He Is Out OF Harms Way for the Present
Least.
G. B. Anderson is dangerous man, who
will likely be put out of the way of doing
harm for long time. He was held for
trial yesterday in bonds Of $4,000 on a charge
of assault to murder, and $1,000 for burglary.
In his examination before Judge RiX it
was stated that Anderson had entered a
house al Ala Dolores street for the purpose
of committing burglary. He was getting
along nicely in this branch until a man in
the house awoke and attempted TO grappe
with him. 1t was then that the burglar
developed his full yillainy. Taking no
chances of capture was his way of working,
and, in accordance with this idea, he drew
from his pocket a slungshot. and with one
powerful blow over the head laid the man
whom he was robbng almost lifeless upon
the floor.
The slungshot was produced in court in
evidence against Anderson. 1t consisted
Of rock about the size of mans hand,
wrapped in a handkerchief and attached
to a short piece of stout rope. 1t was the
weapon Of man who regarded murder as
lightly as burglary.

Captain Ford of the ST. Paul Testifiss as
to His Conduct.
The hearing in the case of Captain A.
Ford of the ship st. Paul against First Mate
W. B. Taylor of the same ship was COM
menced yesterday before United States
Commissioner Sawyer. Captain Ford testi-
fed that Taylor, on the trip from New York
to San Francisco, had, as was duly recorded
on the log, on July 1st, behaved so badly
that he was removed from his position and
confined to his cabin with forfeiture of
wages. Taylor maltreated Trip, half
blind sailor. although he was ordered to
desist by the captain. He acted so inso-
lently and was so much under the influence
of liquor that only the threat to put him in
irons caused him to 90 into his room under
arrest. The log-book showed that Taylor
had surreptitiously confiscated liquors
taken from the crew at the commencement
of the voyage, and that he was drunk for
three days in consequence. Also that Tay-
lor. armed with belaying-pin, had terror
lied the crew. A specially heinOus offense
committed by Taylor is also specified in the
log. His general conduct was such that
finally he had to be put in irons for mutiny.
Ii. A. Borrow and X. J. Lowden, passen-
gers on the ship, corroborated, as did sew
eral of the crew, Captain Ford's testimony.
Further hearing of the case will be had TO-

Sacramento Pauper Proves TO Have
Left Quite Fortune.

Sacramento Pauper Proves TO Have
Left Quite Fortune.
On the first of this year James Har-
rover, an old resident of Sacramento died
at the County Hospital He was a charac-
ter of that city and for years was a pc ular
bar-keeper AS he was supposed to be in
needy circumstances. however, he was given
a room, rent free, for many years in
Booth & Co.'S building, and some tune
after his death C. L. Wheeler ordered the
room cleaned. The only article that be-
lUnged to the old man was trunk, which
was taken to Mr.. Nheeler's Office and ex-
amned. The Bee of last night gives the
following account of what was found:
In one corner in the bottom of the trunk,
crumpied into q ball or wad, was found a
certificate OF de. ost for $500 on the bank
of ID. 0. Mills. II had been made July Il,
lSjS-thirty-two years ago. And every
body had supposed Jimmy was a pauper.
The discovery of the certificate almost par
alyzed the searchers, and their luveStiga-
TONS were proceeded with with more care
than at first. A little bag containing $50
silver scent pieces was then brought to view.
Next came quite large sum of money, and
then came a good-siZed treasure-a book
showing that $1,000 was on deposit In the
Sacramento bank. A further search re-
yealed certificate for $500 which had been
deposited with Wells, Fargo ~ Co. some
time IN the early mites. mere was also q
certificate for $500 that had been made with
Page, Bacon IL Co.. bankers, in the early
days, but as they failed long ago, the last
named paper was worthless.
The certificates were turned over to
Public Administrator Harlow, who, on the
10Th OF June, collected the amount called
fur. He is now engaged in settling up the
estate.
Narrower has two brothers in the East,
one in Rhode Island, the other in MaSsa-
chusetts. They are well off and requested
Mr. Wheeler to collect the money and send
it to them.
Mr.. Wheeler, after consulting a lawyer,
put in a claim for room rent, and the
physician of the hospital followed suit with
a bill for professional services. 1t is said
that the deceased loaned considerable
money to a wholesale liquor merchant and
was never able to get his money back eX-
cent In small Dayments.

1t Sets Haystacks, Woodpiles and Freight
Wagons WaltziDg.
The southern end of Mono Lake was con-
siderably agitated last Sunday, says the Ho-
mer Index, and jewellers in that shaky To-
calty were much perturbed. Steam was
Issuing from the lake as far as could be
seen. in sudden puffs, and the water was
boiling iiercely, like bean-pot, while huge
waves rolled up on the beach and recedlng
left tie sand smoking In moment the air
was thick with binding hot sulphurous
vapor, and subterraneous means and rum
blings made the witness think that old Nick
was holding high carnival down below.
The fences wObbled up and down and side
ways, the wood pile at Nays Ranch locked
arms with big freight wagon and waltZed
around the barnyard to the dismal below
ings of the dismayed cattle and the shrill
neighing of terrified horses.
This appalling fracas lasted about two
minutes. Then came blessed quiet for a
moment. followed by a sudden twitch of
the earth, as horse jerks his hide and dis
lodges bOthersome fly. The shock threw
men and animals off their feet with brus-
ing violence, but it was the wind-up of the
entertainment, which Mr.. Nay hopes will
not be soUn repeated.
1t was some hours before the lake ceased
to emit columns of steam, and the water be-
came very hot. Two springs near the
house, long noted for the GOODNESS and
purity of their water, changed their charac-
ter aud spouted hot mud for two days,
when they flowed cold water again. A
