Marrion went to the house of the Mexican in the evening, and was no again seen until his body was discovered on the following morning in Pescadero creek. The clothing nad been taken from his body, and his skull was broken in two pleces, supposed to have been done by some blunt instrument. Larria fled, but was captured three days after at San Gregoria, and taken back to Pescadero. When arrested he had in his ior the hat, coatand boots of the murdered man. Further paticulars we were unable to learn than that the Mexican was discovered hanging by the neck in an old stable, on the day after his arrest. The general opinion is that he was lynched.
