Statements of Eye-witnesses Show that there was no Provocation— Reed inSJail and McCarty at the Point of Death. ‘Nevada City was the scene of another murderous affair yesterday afternoon. Ben. Reeg, an old State Prison bird, is the p@gpetrator. John McCarty, aged about’ 22 years, the son of D. McCarty who keeps a saloon on Commercial street, is the victim. Eye witnesses of the thrillnother man-were in Clark & Egan’s sttoon,;~at-the=corner~-of-Pineand Commercial streets, engaged in conversation about a gun. Finally some point arose that led McCarty to re“N6 —— — ——— in this town ever saw that gun.” Just then Reed came in, and overhearing the expression said, “I don’t want yous to talk like that.” .MeCarty mdde off-hand reply, then ‘tarned and going into ‘a card room at the other end of the saloon, sat down and picked up a paperas if toread. Reed went out, but returning in less than ten minutes after passsed through to the apartment where McCarty was. He had been there but a moment when @ fierce seuffling was heard, Suddenly some one cried out, *‘Johnny, ome here, I’m stabbed!” Reed rushed out upon the street witha bloody jack-knife in his hand. He went past the Damy Transcrirr Bieck, throwing the knife down at the side of the walk in front of the entrahce to this office. Them he cross ed-over to McCarty’s saloon and asked ex-Deputy Sheriff Carter,the victim’s. brother-in-law, to arrest him. He explained the nature of his crime and said, “I suppose you will have to hang me.” Mr, Carter. turned him over: to officer Canfield to whom lie remarked while being led to jail, “They tried to beach me; but I’d rather have them walk over my grave than getths best of me,” words to that effect, “ Just after Reed came out of the card-rcom McCarty staggered out, and leaned against the outside of the Commercial street entrance of the-saloon. ‘There was aghastly cut across the left side of his throat, and the blood flowed from it in torrents. There were alsb two or three bad wounds on his face. Officer Canfield assisted him back into the saloon, Dr. Hunt was immediately summoned. After the flow of blood had been staunched the wounded mark, an or man was placed on a cot and conveyed to the recovery was considered improbable.

Reed has the reputation of being one of the most reckless desperadoesin the mountains. On the 2d day of November, 1871, he had a quarrel with Christian Gunnison, while the latter was playing cards. with another man, at Carley-& Tompkins’ saloon. on Broad street, in this city. He left the saloon and returned_a short time thereafter armed, Immediately upon entering the place he drew a pistol and, told Gunnison to ‘‘come on, I am heeled for ycu.” Gunnison picked up a chair and started towards him. Reed: fired at Gunnison and inflicted a wound from which the latter died within two hours! When his trial came on. the Jury brought ina verdict of manslaugiiter. “Judge Reardan expressed surprise at the verdict, and said tion for uturder in’ the first degree, On the 12th of . January,"1872, Reed was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment at San Quentin, which was the longest time provided by law. Last year he was pardoned by Governor Irwin, it being believed thet unless he was released, he would die of con. sumption. He returned to this city, and has since been locked up in the] County Jail once for fighting. When sober, he is a quiet, unobtrusive fellow ; but once under the influence of liquor he is fierce as a maddened . tiger and attempts to kill ail who cross his path. He has done no work to speak of since last coming back here, but spent most of his got 4 that City Attorney Belcher, of that 7 thecity (?) of Marysville is of as much paride of hydraulic ‘mining. j pretend to say that _thefarmers ‘that of the city of Marysville. demanding an &bsolute erushing out ‘The idea of the city of: Marysville tion of the Unien ‘shaft from the Ls The Marysville Debris Suit. 1 A dispatch from Marysville says town is engaged drawing up the papers in the proposed case of . Marysville against the hydraulic mimers-on the Yuba river and its branches. Meantime, State Engineer Hall, assisted by Col. Von Schmidt, Allardt and others, are making an examination of the condition and effect .of hydraulic miming on the Yuba, and will have their report ready next winter. The grangers in the valley are doing al] they canto widen the breach between themselves an the miners.The latter have frequent ly expressed a desire to have tke debris question settled without _recourse to-expensive judi ings that would furnieh no perma-nent solution of the problem as to what shall be done with the-slickens. . The farmers would not entertain any conciliatory propositions made by the miners, no matter of how fair a kind. In time they may discover that they have hurt themselves worse than they have anybody else by their unreasonable attitude. In speaking of the same. subject, the San Francisco Stock Report says: ‘It is an open question whether the existence of half a dozen villages like importance to the State of California and the country at large as the. existWere we called on to express an opinivn we should decide in favor of the mining. Hydraulic mining in this State is one of its chief sources_of gold _produet. and to allow the crusade being waged against that industry to result in its extinguishment is to shut offand lose to the world millions of gold and to deprive hundreds of: men of the means of employment. We do not whose-lands are injured by. “slickens” and_ the whose water front is injured by debris, have no rights in the premises;but we contend that-the mining interest is paramount to the agricultural and The great trouble is ‘that the agri. cultural side of the question is arbitrary in its treatment.of it and unwilling to make or ree#ive concessions, of the interest. And so long as they continue on that line, so long will public sentiment outside of the localities immediately affected, favor and sympathise with the other side. bringing suits to abate the hydraulic mining companies on the Yuba and its branches as a ntisance~ is: preposterous ; todo so would simply be the confiscation .of millions of dollars worth of pruperty. We. think ‘this thing could be reached by the creation of a commission, by the Legisl ture, whose duty it should be to arbitrate between. hydraulic miners and those injured by that class of mining, and to appraise damages that might be done by the latter, said damages to be payable by the mining’Gompanies on notification by the commission, under pen-alty for 1on-payment of then being abated as a nuisance. _— —_-=> sar Ladies, take advantage of the Bros:-Palace Dry Goods Store.

The Virginia Chronicle says that on Saturday, about 3 o'clock, the long-looked for connection between the Union shaft and the 2200 level of the Sierra Nevada was made, This is the most important event that has occurred on the Comstock formany months. For about two months the Sierra Nevada mine has work could be done towards developing the ore body discovered over & yearago. All the power that could be generated in the steam boilers was required tokeep the water at a safe distance from the upper levels, The importance of the connection with the Union shaft lies in the fact that the water can how be conducted from the 2200 level of the Sierra Nevada through that shaft to the 2000 level, and thence conveyed through the Ophir to the OC. & C. shaft, where it will be pumped into the Sutro tunnel. The pipe conneetions are all made now except through that por2200 to the 2000, which ¢an be done in a few days. The pump at the C, & C. shaft will be ready to work by Saturday, when the question of water in Sierra Nevada will no longer be a troublesome one, The Missing Ban Seen. Joe, Pettit of this city says that on ‘Thursday morning last he met L. Comparet, the missing San Juan man, at Colfax. The ald gentleman was time roaming the strsets in an aimless sort of way, Lay to San Francisco, supposed by Mr. Pettit to be on his city of Marysville, } Held to Answer for Embessiement. The following is from the Virginia 15th instant. Messrs. Davis & Geer until recent'y resided in this city, where they enjoyed good reputations : e F. C. Geer and Thomas Newport were examined on Saturday, Sunday and this morning ‘in Justice Moses’ Court on four different charges of embezzlement each. The complaining witnessess are Sherman, Hyde & Co., music dealers of San Francisco The defendants are the agents for the sale of pianos, organs and other musical instruments, and they were authorized tp sell instruments anywhere in the State of Nevada. The complainants charged that Geer and Newport hai unlawfully retaingd four sums of money which they had ested, to-wit : $275, $21, $325 and $105, maki : : ' ~. A. Hyde testified that the defendants-had.been .furnished with musical instruments from the firm of Sherman, Hyde & Co. for the past eight months. They were to seli on commission and remit the money to the San Francisoo house as fast. as collected. The firm in this city was originally Davis & Geer, but Newport came into the firm and Davis went. to Carson. Davis was not charged with €mbezzlement, as he was not in the city when thevalleged embezzlements took-place. ‘The defendants were deficit in their accounts to the extent of nearly $3,900. A Weber piano was shipped to Geer & Newport December 21, last. It was valued at $465, and sold by the defendants to Mrs. Bowen of Gold Hill Threedollars and seventy-five cents was paid to the defendants, and no account rendered to Sherman & Hyde, On the-23d~ of the same month the defendants reported the piano as unsold. The report was in the handwriting of the defendants. The defendants afterwards admitted that they had sold the piano. and received the money. The witsess cited other instances of stock having been sold and noaccount rendered-~ Various parties to whom instruments had been sold testified as to the amounts paid by thém to the defendants! . pos ~The defendants declined to make eny statement, and were held to await the action of the Grand Jury, $1000 on each charge. They were unable to furnish: Cisdins, and were placed in the Connty Jail. Broderick’s Bonanza. ‘Recent developments made on the land of J. C. Broderick in Little Grass Valley, near Columbia Hill, are most encouraging. By employing three shifts of miners and using horse-power .a shaft has just been sunk at a point 300 feet south of the former oues where so much water came in. as tointerfere with continuing operations without machinery. This last shaft was put down 36 feet before bed-rock was struck. A bed of blue gravel 22 feet thick and rich in coarse gold was passed through. The bed-rock at the bottom of the Shaft was pitching towards the: hill on the east at the rate of 24 feet in four. The gravel was of the same general character as that found in City (Nev.) Chronicle of Monday, with bail fixed at $4,000 each, or.

Marysville against the hydraulic mimers-on the Yuba river and its branches. Meantime, State Engineer Hall, assisted by Col. Von Schmidt, Allardt and others, are making an examination of the condition and effect .of hydraulic miming on the Yuba, and will have their report ready next winter. The grangers in the valley are doing al] they canto widen the breach between themselves an the miners.The latter have frequent ly expressed a desire to have tke debris question settled without _recourse to-expensive judi ings that would furnieh no perma-nent solution of the problem as to what shall be done with the-slickens. . The farmers would not entertain any conciliatory propositions made by the miners, no matter of how fair a kind. In time they may discover that they have hurt themselves worse than they have anybody else by their unreasonable attitude. In speaking of the same. subject, the San Francisco Stock Report says: ‘It is an open question whether the existence of half a dozen villages like importance to the State of California and the country at large as the. existWere we called on to express an opinivn we should decide in favor of the mining. Hydraulic mining in this State is one of its chief sources_of gold _produet. and to allow the crusade being waged against that industry to result in its extinguishment is to shut offand lose to the world millions of gold and to deprive hundreds of: men of the means of employment. We do not whose-lands are injured by. “slickens” and_ the whose water front is injured by debris, have no rights in the premises;but we contend that-the mining interest is paramount to the agricultural and The great trouble is ‘that the agri. cultural side of the question is arbitrary in its treatment.of it and unwilling to make or ree#ive concessions, of the interest.

We. think ‘this thing could be reached by the creation of a commission, by the Legisl ture, whose duty it should be to arbitrate between. hydraulic miners and those injured by that class of mining, and to appraise damages that might be done by the latter, said damages to be payable by the mining’Gompanies on notification by the commission, under pen-alty for 1on-payment of then being abated as a nuisance. _— —_-=> sar Ladies, take advantage of the Bros:-Palace Dry Goods Store.

The Virginia Chronicle says that on Saturday, about 3 o'clock, the long-looked for connection between the Union shaft and the 2200 level of the Sierra Nevada was made, This is the most important event that has occurred on the Comstock formany months. For about two months the Sierra Nevada mine has work could be done towards developing the ore body discovered over & yearago. All the power that could be generated in the steam boilers was required tokeep the water at a safe distance from the upper levels, The importance of the connection with the Union shaft lies in the fact that the water can how be conducted from the 2200 level of the Sierra Nevada through that shaft to the 2000 level, and thence conveyed through the Ophir to the OC. & C. shaft, where it will be pumped into the Sutro tunnel. The pipe conneetions are all made now except through that por2200 to the 2000, which ¢an be done in a few days. The pump at the C, & C. shaft will be ready to work by Saturday, when the question of water in Sierra Nevada will no longer be a troublesome one, The Missing Ban Seen. Joe, Pettit of this city says that on ‘Thursday morning last he met L. Comparet, the missing San Juan man, at Colfax. The ald gentleman was time roaming the strsets in an aimless sort of way, Lay to San Francisco, supposed by Mr. Pettit to be on his city of Marysville, } Held to Answer for Embessiement. The following is from the Virginia 15th instant. Messrs. Davis & Geer until recent'y resided in this city, where they enjoyed good reputations : e F. C. Geer and Thomas Newport were examined on Saturday, Sunday and this morning ‘in Justice Moses’ Court on four different charges of embezzlement each. The complaining witnessess are Sherman, Hyde & Co., music dealers of San Francisco The defendants are the agents for the sale of pianos, organs and other musical instruments, and they were authorized tp sell instruments anywhere in the State of Nevada. The complainants charged that Geer and Newport hai unlawfully retaingd four sums of money which they had ested, to-wit : $275, $21, $325 and $105, maki : : ' ~. A. Hyde testified that the defendants-had.been .furnished with musical instruments from the firm of Sherman, Hyde & Co. for the past eight months. They were to seli on commission and remit the money to the San Francisoo house as fast. as collected. The firm in this city was originally Davis & Geer, but Newport came into the firm and Davis went. to Carson. Davis was not charged with €mbezzlement, as he was not in the city when thevalleged embezzlements took-place. ‘The defendants were deficit in their accounts to the extent of nearly $3,900. A Weber piano was shipped to Geer & Newport December 21, last. It was valued at $465, and sold by the defendants to Mrs. Bowen of Gold Hill Threedollars and seventy-five cents was paid to the defendants, and no account rendered to Sherman & Hyde, On the-23d~ of the same month the defendants reported the piano as unsold. The report was in the handwriting of the defendants. The defendants afterwards admitted that they had sold the piano. and received the money. The witsess cited other instances of stock having been sold and noaccount rendered-~ Various parties to whom instruments had been sold testified as to the amounts paid by thém to the defendants! . pos ~The defendants declined to make eny statement, and were held to await the action of the Grand Jury, $1000 on each charge. They were unable to furnish: Cisdins, and were placed in the Connty Jail. Broderick’s Bonanza.

‘Recent developments made on the land of J. C. Broderick in Little Grass Valley, near Columbia Hill, are most encouraging. By employing three shifts of miners and using horse-power .a shaft has just been sunk at a point 300 feet south of the former oues where so much water came in. as tointerfere with continuing operations without machinery. This last shaft was put down 36 feet before bed-rock was struck. A bed of blue gravel 22 feet thick and rich in coarse gold was passed through. The bed-rock at the bottom of the Shaft was pitching towards the: hill on the east at the rate of 24 feet in four. The gravel was of the same general character as that found in City (Nev.) Chronicle of Monday, with bail fixed at $4,000 each, or.
