MURDER!
Fiendish Work at Grass Valley Early
Last Night.
Union: Last night about 7:30. o'clock;
Louis Francois, was-murdered in his cabin
Jocated between Mill and Auburn streets.
The fatal shot was heard by a number, of
people residing in the vicinity.
A few minutes later George Smith, who
has associated with the dead man for over
twenty years and who. was regarded as a
partner by him, entered the house of H. H.
Reynolds, a neighbor, and excitedly said
‘Louis has shot himeelf!” and solicited
Reynolds to go to the cabin with him.
Mr. Reynolds procured a candle and went
to the cabin with Smith, where Francois
was found lying-on-the floor, a piatol by his
side as if carelessly placed there.
~ Smith procured a pillow, so he afterwards
head and also laid his arms across his breast.
Cerener Daniels was _ notified and. when-}
he reached the cabin found Francois in the
position above’ stated. He immediately
summoned a jury. __
Smith, who was intoxicated, was ‘questioned somewhat, and said that when the
shot was fired he was twenty feet away.
from the cabin ; that Francois had gone]
into hia (Smith's) room and taken his
(Smith’s) pistol and comm itted suicide.
This statement is certainly untrue, as the
subsequent examination by. Dr, Jamieson
shows that Francois could not have taken
his own life by any mannér or means.
dead man’s mouth was filled with blood.
The bullet entered the left arm, passed inwardly and fractured the fourth rib ; penetrated the left lung, severed the thorassic
worta, and ledged in seventh dorsal vertebre. Death was instaneous.
Francois could not possibly have placed .
the weapon in a position to inflict the
wound,
The deceased was in Upton’s saloon about
three-quarters of an hour before the tragedy occurred, and was in the best of spirits
and not intoxicated. He procured a bottle
of liquor and went home. It, is supposed
Smith was there with’ him. No one witnessed the murder, but it. was reported that
one of the neighbors openly charged Smith
with the crime. She also said she heard a
quarrel over in the cabin,
It is known that Smith and Frencoig had
frequent quarrels when under the intluence
of liquor, and on one occasion Smith cut his
partner with a knife.
The Coroner's inquest will be held this
morning.
The deceased, Louis Beancois, wae about
forty-eight years old. He was with Admiral
Farragut at the bombardment of New
Orleans during the Civil War. For many
years was empleyed at. the Lime Kiln, Of
late he has been about town doing odd jobs,
Smith spent the night in the city jail.

NEW CHARTER.
Something the People of Nevada City
Should Vote to Have. “
Nevada City needs a new charter. The
present one is deficient and also inadequate
in many respects. Under existing conditions the Board of . City Trustees are kept
within very narrow limits in the exercige of
their official duties, and are prevented from
doing many things which should be done
and which our impertance and presperity as
a town démand, The street improvements
cou ld-be made more general with @ differen;
charter. A better system ef sewerage is
is out of the question now, owing to--4the
limit of the-tax levy and ¢he clause in the
charter forbidding the Trustees from imourring an indebtedness in excess ‘ef the revenues. There” is no power given to iseue
bonds. By, adopting a uew.charter_ the
. coporate limits could be extended so as to
greatly increase the population and the
to the revenue of the city.
Several years ago the proposition to procure a new gharter was submitted to our
citizens but it was defeated by a large
‘majority. -The--people were afraid of a.
‘change, the results following’ the adoption
of the new State Constitution being still
fresh in their minds, and they resolved to
let well enough alone. How the majority
regard the question now we are not preparéd'to say, although we believe the public
generally are more disposed to favor a new
form ef local government than they were
then. Thére is no question but what it
would be a long step forward in the march
of progress, and the proposition, if submitted
to the voters of the town at the election in
May, should receive their hearty endorsement,

An Account of a Great Enterprise in

Messenger: On the Slate Creek Basin we
find two of the largest ‘‘River” or ‘‘Tailing
Mining Enterprises” of unquestionable richness in the bed of Slate creek that have been
promulgated. One commenced during the
last year by Hon. J. W. Moyle, ex-State
Senator of Sierra county, large stockholder
of Slate Creek Gravel Gold Company,
(Limited) an English Syndicate farmed by
himself-and friends in London in February ;
1893, with a capital stock of $500,000, to
mine the auriferous rich tailing deposits and
gravel beds, etc., in Slate creek. They conFitzsimon Heard From.

commenced last Spring witha very. large
force of men to work and develop their recently acquired property, expending nearly
$100,000 last year in building a stream
power sawmill, ditch over three miles long
and. more than five feet wide, and purchased
large supply of heavy iron pipes and varied
expensive machinery of every description— . :
into a pipe whence it is carried through the .
same to the creek at St. Louis bridge to be
used under 275 feet pressure in connectien
with an immense hydraulic elevator, already
op the ground near the &t. Louis bridge.
General Supt. Moyle commenced last
fall with a smaller elevator to sluice out a
large pit or sump in the once over 50. to 60
feet of deep tailings to reach bed-rock, en

sump has reached a depth of 20 feet, but on
account of the unusually extreme cold
weather at the head of the water shed,
everything froze up and operations had to
be delayed until milder weather willpermit
them to proceed with their developments
They have built above this sump across the
creek a substantial dam ef log-cribs filled in
with rocks.
It is predicted that if this company is able
to werk this proundwith these—appliances
and thei outlined plan, they will take out

the best paying mines in Plumas or Sierra
counties, as these accumulated tailings and
the original gravel in Slate creek are immensely rich in gold as proven by Brewster
and Haworth 20 or 25 years age when they .
owned a tunnel through the long point under
the St. Louis road, enabling them, after
short while at the upper end of said tunnel,
yielding eight to twenty-five dollars a day,
to the man, shoveling tailings into sluices «>=
The follewing season they were prevented
from working any more on account of the
introduction and workings of several dozen
monitors in the hydraulic gravel mines on
the channels above them, soon barying the
upper and lower end of said tunnel, including bridges, across the creek out of sight.

WANT MORE MONEY.
The Executive Committee of the State
Mining Exhibit.
We have received a circular letter from
the Executive Committee of the State Mining Exhibit which shows that'the receipt to
date have been $7,568.10 and the disbursements $2,956.73. .The circular says +
As will be seen from the foregoing statement, we have cash on hand $4,611.27 to
pay for supplies, mill building and marble
arch. To keep proper watch over the exhibits it .will require the services of five
watchmen.
{t will take about $2500 more than we
now have on hand te maintain our exhibit
and to pack the same for reshipment to their
respective owners at the close of the Fair.
We hope that the miners of California will
help out the exhibit to that extent,
It is the intention of the Executive Committee to carry en. the exhibit so leng as the
money lasts and then close it up, unless the
Midwinter Fair officials can maintain it for
