Reminiscences of Early days in the region of Foster’s Bar, Yuba County, California. In closing my reminiscences of the Stew ‘art and Berdue matter, I promised to give to the readers of the Puss. at some future time, the history of one of the most diabolical and ‘outrageous murders ever committed in this ‘State. Having some leisure time to devote ‘to. this subject, and in pursuance of my prom‘ise, Lherewith furnish you with a full and ‘succinct statement of THE MURDER OF JOHN DASCHER, who came to his death early in the year 1851, by the hands of De Witt Clinton Shattuck. Dascher was a German or Swede by birth, and was known as a qniet, inoffensive man. Shattuck was a native of the State of Michigan. Hlewas gentlemanly in his manners, . well educated, and, to all appearanves, one of the most amiable men J ever knew. But, to my story: In the fall of the year 1850, John Dascher, De Witt C. Shattuck and Henry Hf. H. Adriance, or Adriants, emigrated from Calaveras county. and located themselves in a canon a short distance below Winslow’s Barjon the . Yuba River, at which place they continued the business of mining, until the menth of May, 1851. They bad long been mining together in Calaveras county, and had formed amutual attachnrent for each other—so much so that the zei?/ of one was the will of all. In May, 1851, Adriance was dispatched to Foster’s Bar for the purpose of prospecting, and if possible of securing a mining claim at that place for the company, the mines at Foster's Bar at that time being in very good repute. Adriance agreed to undertake the task assigned him, promising tu return the same evening and makea report. He came to Foster’s (where the writer of this remimiscence met him forthe first tame) ona Sunday, and teceived from me due information ‘as to the valae of the mining claims there, and abso of such claims as were uaoccupied. I furnished him with pan, shovel and pick to prospect the ground, which he did, and which proved satisfactory. In the evening of the same day he returned to his camp. A few days afterwards he returned to Poster’s in company with Shattuck. They commenced working the claims located by Adriance, and continued to work thereon. for about one month, when they again took their departure for their old location below Winslow’s. I saw these men every day whilst at Foster’s Bar—had numerous business transactions with them, and had formed a very favorable opinion of them—particularly (owards Shattuck. lsaw no more of these men, or cither of them afte: they left Foster's, until one day, the 2d of July, 1351, having some business in the Court of Sessions o! Marysville, . was surprised on looking ata jury which was about being empancled, to see Adriance among the number. The jury was duly empaneled—Adriance having been chosen one—after which the court took a recess till 2 o'clock, P. M. Adriance followed me out of the Court House, asked me to detain a moment till everybody had gone out of bhearing—saia he had something particular to tell me; that his life was in danger, and that he knew not how soon he would be launched into eternity. That be was watched; his life tureatened, and that he was almost distracted. He acted more like a mad or crazy man than a sine one, and [ verily believed bim to be in sane. I quieted his fears and apprehensions by assuring bim that no one should injure him, that I would protect him, etc., and asked him to unburthen bis mindto me. He replied, “ not for worlds would I do it here, everybody is looking at us; it is death to me'to sce me talkingto you now ; I shouldn’t wonder if I get killed before half an hour.” Finding that I could get nothing from him. I made an appointwent with bim to meet me in half an hour at my room in the old U.S. Hotel, and: parted company with him. At the time appointed he was closeted ‘with me in my room, where he gave me in ‘detail the facts connected with the murder of Dascher, and which I will give hereafter in his own language, as sworn to by him before the Justice of the Peace at Foster’s Bar, ‘on the examination of Shattuck, charged witb the erime of murder. He told me that he had not slept a wink at night for more than two weeks. that he was trying to run away from bis own thoughts, that his life was ofe continued torment to him; that for nearly a month he had been trying to escape from Shattuck, dut that the latter, night and day, watched ‘him likea hawk. Said that two days pre‘vious to meeting me at Marysville, he had *prevailed on Shattuck to permit him to go ‘prospecting ; that instead of doing so, be struck out across the country to Bidwell’s ‘Bar with the intention of going to Shasta, ‘and from thence to Oregon, so as to get completely out of the way of Shattuck, who he ‘believed would kill him at sight. He said that at Bidwell’s Bar his conscience smote him, tbat. he could pot eai, drink or sleep, and that he suffered such mental anguish that be was induced to unburthen his mind to a lawyer at that place (Pat. Harris, I think), who advised bim to return to Marysville and relate the matter to the authorities of that county. His words, bis conduct, pe hes thut he said and did, conviaced ‘me of one of two things, Viz: Ist. That be was crazy; or, . 2d. That if there was a murder commit‘ted, he was the guilty party. , I determined to probe the matter to the dottom, however, and if the crime had been : duly deputed for that service. on LRTI AE RR 7 ca NE CN i . committed, to bring the murdererto a jus punishment, and thereupon procured an af. fidavit of the facts from Adviance, to be taken before Justice Ellet of Marysville, and a warrant for the arrest of Shattuck to be issued, returnable before the Justice of the Peace at Foster’s Bar. On the following morning, I started for Foster’s Bar with the warrant in my pocket. 'Adriance was to follow immediately [arrived there about the middle of the afternoon of the 3d day of July, saw the Justice at that iplace, Mr O. P. Stidger, immediately after my arrival, and had him deputize a consta> ble to serve the warrant. Jno. S. Stidger. a brother of the Justice, and Dr. J. B Trask, ! On the morning of the 4th, they proceeded in the discharge of their duties, and arrested Shattuck at Winslow Bar, in the midst of a crowd, who had assembled there to commemorate the birth day of our country. They brought him to Foster's about 4 o’clock in the afternoon of the 4th. A large crowd had assembled at the Justice’s office to see the murderer, ard, as many of us supposed, to Lynch him, but after viewing the man and hearing hm converse, almost every one left, feeling satisfied that Shattuck was no murderer. I heard many make the remark, “If that mun is a murderer, then so are all men, or words of similar iniport. Adriance had rot yet arrived, and as he was the prosecuting witness and the only one who could give any evidence concerning the matter, the Justice-announced that the hearing of,thé case would be postponed until 4 o’clock the next day, and that the prisoner should remain in. the custody of the constables. Shattuck conversed freely with everybody a reference to the charge xgainst him, giving a detailed and succinet account of all matters, connected with himself, Adriance and Dascher, and frequeutly said that Dascher was then either at Rich Baron Feather jriver, or at Rabbit creek. He was frequentjly admonished by the Justice not to hold lcouxareation with any one on the subject in . ! his (the Justice's) presence. That he should . paner a fair and impartial hearing, and equal jand exact justice. That noth ng that the i prisoner could say would have any weight . pro or con, . Adriance did not come on the 5th nor 6th 'On the 7th the Jusiice issued a subpoena for bim, and depnted Henry Haddon to serve it. Haddon proceeded to Marysville, found Adriance, and on the 8th they arrived at Foster's about 4 o'clock p.m. As they de scended the hill to the town, they were rec ognized aug soon almest everybody residing there congregated at the Justice’s office, all being anxious to witness the meeting between the accused and accuser. When Adri. ance arrived, Shattuck was sitting in the [Justice's office. Qn seeing Adriance, Shattuck arose, stepped forward te meet and held lout his band towards Adriance, remarking as he did so—‘How are you, Henry?” To whieh Adriance replied, taking Shattuck be the hand—* How are you, De Witt?” No! further remarks were made between them, . The Justice ina few moments citerwards jealled the Court to order, read to Shattuck aes complaint and acked him whether he . ‘ TheJuslice told } . him, he was entitled to counsel it he wished any, and that if be wanted any noeones . time should be given him to procure them. . i } i ' ; Was ready for ex-.nination. Shattuck remarked that he did not wish tor any counsel, as be bad committed no offence against the laws of lis country, and as for Witnesses, Adrisnee was tbe only one he wanted. The Justice told him that the charge against bim was a serivus one, and that if Dascher was living the evidence of that factavas of great importance, and that . ifthe accused knew where Dascher was, he . would postpone the investigation and senda man after bim. Shattuck replied that i . i . ! i . wena not necessary to do so, and proposed . thatthe examination should proceed. Whereupon Henry H. H. Adriance, the prosecuting witness was called to the stand,and alter be. ing duly sworn testified as follows : [To be continued. ] pants sae ON SGietaeieweakienes WeaLta or Great Brirain.—A_ patlia mentary paper has lately been published in England, giving mach valuable information relative to the wealth of that country From this paper it appears that the present property wealth of England, Ireland and Scotland is two thousand million dollars, afd has increased about one hundred and twenty-five . milhons in the past six years.

Reminiscences of Early days in the region of Foster’s Bar, Yuba County, California. In closing my reminiscences of the Stew ‘art and Berdue matter, I promised to give to the readers of the Puss. at some future time, the history of one of the most diabolical and ‘outrageous murders ever committed in this ‘State. Having some leisure time to devote ‘to. this subject, and in pursuance of my prom‘ise, Lherewith furnish you with a full and ‘succinct statement of THE MURDER OF JOHN DASCHER, who came to his death early in the year 1851, by the hands of De Witt Clinton Shattuck. Dascher was a German or Swede by birth, and was known as a qniet, inoffensive man. Shattuck was a native of the State of Michigan. Hlewas gentlemanly in his manners, . well educated, and, to all appearanves, one of the most amiable men J ever knew. But, to my story: In the fall of the year 1850, John Dascher, De Witt C. Shattuck and Henry Hf. H. Adriance, or Adriants, emigrated from Calaveras county. and located themselves in a canon a short distance below Winslow’s Barjon the . Yuba River, at which place they continued the business of mining, until the menth of May, 1851. They bad long been mining together in Calaveras county, and had formed amutual attachnrent for each other—so much so that the zei?/ of one was the will of all. In May, 1851, Adriance was dispatched to Foster’s Bar for the purpose of prospecting, and if possible of securing a mining claim at that place for the company, the mines at Foster's Bar at that time being in very good repute. Adriance agreed to undertake the task assigned him, promising tu return the same evening and makea report. He came to Foster’s (where the writer of this remimiscence met him forthe first tame) ona Sunday, and teceived from me due information ‘as to the valae of the mining claims there, and abso of such claims as were uaoccupied. I furnished him with pan, shovel and pick to prospect the ground, which he did, and which proved satisfactory. In the evening of the same day he returned to his camp. A few days afterwards he returned to Poster’s in company with Shattuck. They commenced working the claims located by Adriance, and continued to work thereon. for about one month, when they again took their departure for their old location below Winslow’s. I saw these men every day whilst at Foster’s Bar—had numerous business transactions with them, and had formed a very favorable opinion of them—particularly (owards Shattuck. lsaw no more of these men, or cither of them afte: they left Foster's, until one day, the 2d of July, 1351, having some business in the Court of Sessions o! Marysville, . was surprised on looking ata jury which was about being empancled, to see Adriance among the number. The jury was duly empaneled—Adriance having been chosen one—after which the court took a recess till 2 o'clock, P. M. Adriance followed me out of the Court House, asked me to detain a moment till everybody had gone out of bhearing—saia he had something particular to tell me; that his life was in danger, and that he knew not how soon he would be launched into eternity. That be was watched; his life tureatened, and that he was almost distracted. He acted more like a mad or crazy man than a sine one, and [ verily believed bim to be in sane. I quieted his fears and apprehensions by assuring bim that no one should injure him, that I would protect him, etc., and asked him to unburthen bis mindto me. He replied, “ not for worlds would I do it here, everybody is looking at us; it is death to me'to sce me talkingto you now ; I shouldn’t wonder if I get killed before half an hour.” Finding that I could get nothing from him. I made an appointwent with bim to meet me in half an hour at my room in the old U.S. Hotel, and: parted company with him. At the time appointed he was closeted ‘with me in my room, where he gave me in ‘detail the facts connected with the murder of Dascher, and which I will give hereafter in his own language, as sworn to by him before the Justice of the Peace at Foster’s Bar, ‘on the examination of Shattuck, charged witb the erime of murder. He told me that he had not slept a wink at night for more than two weeks. that he was trying to run away from bis own thoughts, that his life was ofe continued torment to him; that for nearly a month he had been trying to escape from Shattuck, dut that the latter, night and day, watched ‘him likea hawk. Said that two days pre‘vious to meeting me at Marysville, he had *prevailed on Shattuck to permit him to go ‘prospecting ; that instead of doing so, be struck out across the country to Bidwell’s ‘Bar with the intention of going to Shasta, ‘and from thence to Oregon, so as to get completely out of the way of Shattuck, who he ‘believed would kill him at sight. He said that at Bidwell’s Bar his conscience smote him, tbat. he could pot eai, drink or sleep, and that he suffered such mental anguish that be was induced to unburthen his mind to a lawyer at that place (Pat. Harris, I think), who advised bim to return to Marysville and relate the matter to the authorities of that county. His words, bis conduct, pe hes thut he said and did, conviaced ‘me of one of two things, Viz: Ist. That be was crazy; or, . 2d. That if there was a murder commit‘ted, he was the guilty party. , I determined to probe the matter to the dottom, however, and if the crime had been : duly deputed for that service. on LRTI AE RR 7 ca NE CN i . committed, to bring the murdererto a jus punishment, and thereupon procured an af. fidavit of the facts from Adviance, to be taken before Justice Ellet of Marysville, and a warrant for the arrest of Shattuck to be issued, returnable before the Justice of the Peace at Foster’s Bar. On the following morning, I started for Foster’s Bar with the warrant in my pocket. 'Adriance was to follow immediately [arrived there about the middle of the afternoon of the 3d day of July, saw the Justice at that iplace, Mr O. P. Stidger, immediately after my arrival, and had him deputize a consta> ble to serve the warrant. Jno. S. Stidger. a brother of the Justice, and Dr. J. B Trask, ! On the morning of the 4th, they proceeded in the discharge of their duties, and arrested Shattuck at Winslow Bar, in the midst of a crowd, who had assembled there to commemorate the birth day of our country. They brought him to Foster's about 4 o’clock in the afternoon of the 4th. A large crowd had assembled at the Justice’s office to see the murderer, ard, as many of us supposed, to Lynch him, but after viewing the man and hearing hm converse, almost every one left, feeling satisfied that Shattuck was no murderer. I heard many make the remark, “If that mun is a murderer, then so are all men, or words of similar iniport. Adriance had rot yet arrived, and as he was the prosecuting witness and the only one who could give any evidence concerning the matter, the Justice-announced that the hearing of,thé case would be postponed until 4 o’clock the next day, and that the prisoner should remain in. the custody of the constables. Shattuck conversed freely with everybody a reference to the charge xgainst him, giving a detailed and succinet account of all matters, connected with himself, Adriance and Dascher, and frequeutly said that Dascher was then either at Rich Baron Feather jriver, or at Rabbit creek. He was frequentjly admonished by the Justice not to hold lcouxareation with any one on the subject in . ! his (the Justice's) presence. That he should . paner a fair and impartial hearing, and equal jand exact justice. That noth ng that the i prisoner could say would have any weight . pro or con, . Adriance did not come on the 5th nor 6th 'On the 7th the Jusiice issued a subpoena for bim, and depnted Henry Haddon to serve it. Haddon proceeded to Marysville, found Adriance, and on the 8th they arrived at Foster's about 4 o'clock p.m. As they de scended the hill to the town, they were rec ognized aug soon almest everybody residing there congregated at the Justice’s office, all being anxious to witness the meeting between the accused and accuser. When Adri. ance arrived, Shattuck was sitting in the [Justice's office. Qn seeing Adriance, Shattuck arose, stepped forward te meet and held lout his band towards Adriance, remarking as he did so—‘How are you, Henry?” To whieh Adriance replied, taking Shattuck be the hand—* How are you, De Witt?” No! further remarks were made between them, . The Justice ina few moments citerwards jealled the Court to order, read to Shattuck aes complaint and acked him whether he . ‘ TheJuslice told } . him, he was entitled to counsel it he wished any, and that if be wanted any noeones . time should be given him to procure them. . i } i ' ; Was ready for ex-.nination. Shattuck remarked that he did not wish tor any counsel, as be bad committed no offence against the laws of lis country, and as for Witnesses, Adrisnee was tbe only one he wanted. The Justice told him that the charge against bim was a serivus one, and that if Dascher was living the evidence of that factavas of great importance, and that . ifthe accused knew where Dascher was, he . would postpone the investigation and senda man after bim. Shattuck replied that i . i . ! i . wena not necessary to do so, and proposed . thatthe examination should proceed. Whereupon Henry H. H. Adriance, the prosecuting witness was called to the stand,and alter be. ing duly sworn testified as follows : [To be continued. ] pants sae ON SGietaeieweakienes WeaLta or Great Brirain.—A_ patlia mentary paper has lately been published in England, giving mach valuable information relative to the wealth of that country From this paper it appears that the present property wealth of England, Ireland and Scotland is two thousand million dollars, afd has increased about one hundred and twenty-five . milhons in the past six years.
