MURDER WILL OUT. An Incident of 1550. BY “FLAMINGO.” The daily experiences of a miner in the early times of California immigration, were by no M™means a subject of mirth, and diffievities and dangers had to be gone through, to which ail ‘ne worst that has yet transpired in New Cale- donia was as nothing in the comparison. There were no such things as roads—the country was unknown to all but the Indians, or the few de- generate Spaniards who had traveled through it om expeditions of trade or pleasure. Law was a thing to which, in the then unsettled condition of the local courts, not much atten- tion was paid. In all such matters as should have properly occupied the time of lawyers and lawgivers, the people of the various mining claims were usually compelled to be their own adjudicators. Personal wrongs were then re dressed, and personal difficulties adjusted, in a manner more summary than is apt to be the — under the present administration of the code. Things were in this condition when Frederick Warner and Conrad Heintzleman made their appearance with a mule-load of mining and other necessary implements, in the neighbor- hood of the dry diggings at Miner’s Flat. They did not locate at once where the majority of the miners were aiready at work. but alter casting about them for some time, selected finally a emall ravine, which had been unworked, and on one of its declivitous banks they pitched their tent. Two portions of the ground were staked out by them, of one of which each had the undivided control. The “prospect”? had proved a good one, and the two men were in igh gleo at their good fortune. herever they gruck, the diggings proved equally remunerative, and soon a large num- ber of persons gathered in the nsighbeckesd, intent some upon trade, and some upon gath- ering the dust. All, however, but the two companions avoided the little gulch where Conrad and Frederick had first essayed their luck. It was completely isolated from the rest of the miners, and besides that, it so abounded with snakes and dangerous reptiles, as to Place the oceupant in momentary danger of a fatal calamity. Conrad and Frederick toiled on, nevertheless, in spite of all these perils. Each day was adding to their hoard, and they were beginning to make merry over the time when they press return to their separate homes, the ssors of a sum sufficient to keep them forever above the fear of want. At the head of this rayine, through which, alsv, lay the road to the nearest adjoining set- (lement, a shrewd and pains-taking person named Moore had eatablisi a rude attempt at a lodging-house, which was presided over by his daughter, a buxom lass of eighteen years, or thereabout She had quite a fair share of personal attractions, and was soon— deing the only one of her sex in the neighbor- hood—an object of interest to half the unmar- zied young men in the vicinity. Among her ‘admirers, Conrad and Frederick were the most Prominent, and, apparently, the most favored —although the young lady was particularly careful not to express for the one a greater preference than she had imdicated for the other. Neither of the friends made the other his confident with regard to this little affair of the heart, but each was secretly aware of what was ing in the mind of the other. This begot a slight feeling of estrangement between pony See every dsy’s experience seemed to The summer heats and droughts now drew oa space, and with them a variation in the luck of the miners. Some got discouraged when they found the water failing them, and pulled up stakes to seek out better diggings. Others took the matter more philosophically, and waited patiently a more favorable se: Among this class were Conrad and Frederic ‘The former, strange to say, had discovered a *pring upon his claim, which he had made, by some exertion, an admirable auxiliary in the Prosecution of hislabors. But Frederick was not so fortunate, and as Conrad, for some re: son, refused to allow him to be a sharer in this ntage. he beheld his own profits growing daily smaller and smaller, until they nearly stopped altogether, while Conrad was amassing ® bandsome independence, and seemed grad- ually to be growing more in favor with the young housekeeper, Adelaide Moore. Frederick became a confirmed misanthrope ; he took to dissipation, and began to squander the sums be had already amassed, frequently absenting himself from his camp to wander moodily ——e the nei i i he soon grew fai r, and was pointed out as “lucky fred Warner, the man that wag tco rich towork “’ This treatment made Frederick more morose and uucommunicative than ever; he would stand for hours by the side of Conrad, watebi glittering pile that he was acca- until, with a heavy sigh, he would turn away, and hide himself and his miseries in the recesses of their cabin ‘i Conrad began to grow distrustful of his former friend and associate, and at last sought to avoid him. Frederick talked strongly of returning home, but by this time he had expended all his treasure, and was obliged to resurt to Conrad for a loan, which was refused. High words were beard that night in the little cabin, the first the friends had ever been known to interchange. Conrad made his appearance a few minutes afterward at tho lod, ing-house of the Moores, and stating that Frederick had threatened his life, and that he was afraid of him, persuaded Moore to allow him to pass the it there. @ next day Warner disappeared. It was only known that he had had an interview with Adelaide Moore, and that the result of that in- terview could not have been a satisfactory one, for he had been seen to rush from the house in the direction of his claim, and as bis blankets and other property were missing goon after, it was naturally supposed that he had removed to & more favored locality. Conrad was @ high glee at this retrograde movement of his ol ee It placed the game completely in bis bands, and that night the elated miner was the affianced of the pretty Adelaide. Two days thereafter the body of Conrad Heintzleman was found upon the floor of his cabin, covered with wounds, and weltering in @ pool of his own blood. A knife which ind beionged to Warner was found by his side, and the marks of bioudy fingers were found on the jambe of the door.” All bis treasure—the pro- ceeds of several months arduous exertion—bad been stolen, and ring which he had but recently receiv. rom Adelaide Moore, was found te have been cut with great violence from one of his fingers. An inquest was held upon the body, and a verdict ing rendered in accordance with the facts, the mortal re- mains of the poor miner wer deposited in the eoit,"and a rade pile of stones and & cross placed above his remains. A short consulta- tion was then held, and an infuriated party, arming themselves, started out to discover the whereabouts of Warner, whom they at once suspected of the murder. Now it was that a discarded former lover of Adelaide Moore made appearance at the Gulch. He had been a waiter in her father’s establishment, but although a sort of favorite with Moore himself, had never been an inti- mate of the daughter. There was something . brose—in his nd cringing manner, that Adelaide could never abide te sight of bi Yet, now that both her lovers were out of the way. Ambrose had had the assurance to renew his addresses, which she, on her part, seemed much less loath to bear with than ever had prospered, and The truth was, Ambrose having, by prudence and economy, gotten to- gether 8 neat little sum, was already talking of openiag « rival establishment to- that of Moore. Alarmed for his custom, and anx \ oa acovunt of the other's thrift, to make hima partner, Moore had held several conferences whkb bis daughter, whom he with the most direful consequences should she per- on in refusing to sanction the visits of Am- rose. Thus surrounded and besieged, what could the poor girl do? And Ambrose really appeared to be the ssor of a great deal of money. The result was a wedding, in which, despite the unpopularity of the bridegroom, the gulch- ers participated. Iu the meanwhile, that victim of ill-luck, the unhappy Warner, was taking his way as rap- idly as possible in the direction of the Northern mines. He wished to put as great a space as ible between himself and the spot in which 1¢ had experienced the first great grief of his life. It was two weeks journey to the place in which he finally determined once more to pitch his tent and try bis luck. There was no hu- man soul, save himself, within several miles, and the scenery had a gloomy grandeur of ap- pearance that was just th unison with that sol- emn nature of his thoughts. Like the black ani turbulent stream which murmured hoarse- ly past him through the rocky defiles of the mountain, they flowed through his brain—wild, incoherent and uncontrolable. In the gloom- ivst part of the glen he pitched his tent. The spot had never been tried before, and there was danger of every kind to the groper afer Id in a region so remote and forbidd ing. Yet rederick Warner did not hesitate, but threw off his coat and went to work willingly, oven obeeril His first day’s work was a good one; he not only found “ the color,’’ but struck pay-dirt at oace, and found his claim each hour increasing in richness. “ Well,”’ he thought, with an assumption of philosophy he did not feel, ‘‘ Adelaide Moore may be false or she may be true; let those have her that may—henceforth I work only for gold. When I have once got that, there are thousands as fair and less cruel than Ade- laide Moore.’’ “Lucky Fred Warner’? was not yet absolved feom his misfortunes. While in the mood above chronicled, a Revty of men well armed rode up the vatley. Warner at once recognized the faces of most of them, and thought how he would now have a chance to retaliate upon them for their ridicule of him on a previous occasion. This friendly greeting was returned in a manner that somewhat surprised him. ‘Iwo or three of the intruders, dismounting, seized him and threw him upon the ground, where, notwithstanding his struggles, they proceeded t> bind him. “What's all this for?”? quoth Fred. “Iam not a wild beast, to be hunted in this rough- and-ready manner. What have I done’”’ * Done? Yo done enough, in all reason, and too much,” was the unfriendly reply. “Your old comrade, Conrad Heintzleman, has been found murdered, and under circumstances which leave no room for doubt that you perpe- trated the foul deed.’ “| murder Conrad Heintzleman ? No, no!” replied Warner, turning pale at the thought. ~« We were rivals, it is true, and as I am only human, I may have allowed a foolish spirit of envy to overcome me; but a8 for murdering he man whom I most esteemed on earth! im- possible !"’ ‘* How came it that the deed was performed by your knife, then, and that a garment be- longing to you was found lying near it upon the tloor, covered with the blood of the victim? Your quarrel with him. too, on the night pre- ceding. Oh! the thing’s as clear as daylight. You must go back with as to the gulch.’’ Warner made no further resistance. Satis- fied that he was the victim of an evil destiny, he allowed them to carry him back a prisoner. Arrived at the scene of his labors and disap- ointments, he found that the whole settlement ad turned against him. Ambrose had been uuited to Adelaide Moore, and he had not a friend in the whole place. His trial being at once proceeded with, he was found guilty, and sentenced to be hung! The day of doom was close at hand. Only a few brief hours intervened to the wretched prisoner, for whom it seemed there was no re- demption this side the grave, when once more the quiet of the pie was disturbed by a mid- night quarrel. This time it was Ambrose and his wife who were the disturbers of the peace. The former had favored his tender half with a pummeling, which Adelaide not relishing, she immediately fied to a justice, and told her scory. That quarrel was the most fortunate tuing that ever occurred for Frederick Warner. It revealed the true assassin of Conrad Heint- zleman, who was no other than the ex-waiter Ambrose! Instigated by jealousy, and swayed by a desire to possess the riches accumulated by the miner, he had availed himself of War- ner's flight and Conrad's temporary absence to eater the cabin, where he secreted himself, aad where he found a knife belonging to War- ner, which the latter, in the hurry of his de- parture, had left behind. One well-aimed blow, struck at Conrad as he entered the cabin that evening, unsuspicious of harm, and the vil- lainous deed was done. As Ambrose stooped for an instant above the body to rifle it, he thought he heard a fuotstep. Tie listened, but it was pot repeated. His own guilty heart had deceived him. With a nervous hand he tore from the sneer of the deceased a massive gold ring, with which, after lundering the cabin, he departed. It waa the “only witness’’ to that deed of sin, and that ring his wife had fund among the secret treasures of Ambrose. ‘The result was a matter of course. Fred War- ner was acquitted, and permitted to return to his claim, with a handsome sum of money, contributed to forward him on bis wa » by the very party that had arrested him, while An- brose, confessing his crime, was hung for the murder. <= - —___ Sceng ix 4 Boston Rariroap Car.—Tues- day afternoon, says the Boston Bee, as one of the cars of the Metropolitan Railroad rolled along its rails, a lady, extensively beflounced and ex- Psnsively crinclined, beckoned to the polite conductor asit was passing West street, in order to take pasyage totheSouthend. Her robe was in a state of delicious newness; its tissue folds were hardly cold from the modi stes’ last artistic touch, and ber attire altogether was gotten up, evidently with a reckless regardlessness of ex- pense. The car was only half filled—one side tree from encumbrance. ‘Upon itscushions she sat herself at ease, with thoughts for her robe's iataotness uppermost, and spread its volumi ous flounces carefully to their natural ampli- tude. She cast her oyes at the conductor with an air of composure sang froid, and self-col- lectedness. “‘Conduetor,’’ she asked, in the blandest of manners and most mellifiuous of tones, ‘‘ how many seats do I nema i Taken by surprise, ol ryan from one side to the other of her extended dress, and then at her. The lady’s face was serenely interroga- tive ‘* &bout four, I should think, Madam,” he said, wondering what would come next. Here is twenty cents,” she said, dropping the dime from her lavender kidded fingers into his extended palm. “I do not wish to be dis- turbed?”" One would have thought the poss'bility of dis- turbing such a supreme embodiment of com- — rather impossible ; but having secured erself from the chance, in spite of stares and whisper, the quadrupled fare pursued her wa happily and uncreasedly to her destination. It was @ spectacle to admire. We commed her example to all ladies of similar dimension. WHERE DID THat May Go to ?—In a certain hotel in th ar there is employed a bar- tender, who is in the habit of taking hie ‘ tod”? pret'y freely, but always makes ita point never to drink in the presence of his mployer. A few days ago, while he was in the act of draw- ing hia *‘tod’’ preparatory to take a drink, bis employer came into the bar-room rather unex- pectedly. Finding himself caught in the act, as set the tumbler and it contents on the coun- ter, he cast his eyes around with a look of sur- prise, andexciaimed: ‘‘ Where in thunder did that man that ordered that drink go to?” ee Eben ~~ ra ee + Educational.
