m THE FIRST
miim amamOmmßtmJ. ■&___> -__«___ alia Va/^Jf a£-_i
Is something everybody should know distinctly, although we -have
several times announced it already, hut not in so
;; COI3SPIGOOUS A MANNER.
Inquiries are constantly made of us, as to whether WE SELL ON CREDIT TO
■RELIABLE PARTIES. The question being often asked, leads us to believe that this
point in our business principles is not fully understood by those who are most interested
and therefore we deem it well to bring the subject emphatically forward.
'" '' '■--■"', tf;
. Accordingly, we have to state that no matter how good their
credit may he, or however honorable may be their reputation, socially
or financially, no one can obtain any goods whatever from our House
unless by paying DASH for them.
WE SELL NOTHING ON CREDIT
■f : i ii . —
The remarkable success of our business in Sacramento shows that there is in
this city an intelligent class of consumers, for servicable goods, able and willing to pay
■CASH for what they get.Tind present indications show that we are in a field where it
is possible to build up the largest business on this coast, by relying only upon CASH
CUSTOMERS, and availing ourselves of the immense advantage" CASH Receipts give
us in buying and selling. . -' -•
- . '-'.
THB SECOND
Announcement- is not in regard to principles, hut
ICIEa" REGARD TO GOODS.
For good principles in any business are all very well in their way, but to be of public
service they must be followed up by proper evidence that the adoption of those
principles and methods has for its result
MORE GOODS FOR THE MONEY,
AND
[ LESS MONEY FOR BETTER GOODS
Than by the old and fossil methods of business procedure.
Ff Our purchases are not for ONE, but for FIVE large Houses on this coast, none of
them being smaller than in Sacramento.
Our Purchases are all for CASH.
Our Premises are Our Own and Paid For.
Our Entire Sales are for CASH.
Our Expenses are Light
. - ,We Ask for Our Goods the Only Price We Take.
Our Metis are Straightforward, and
• Our Principle is to " Serve Each as we Serve All !"
And, with such advantages, WE WOULD GO OUT OF BUSINESS did we not
believe that we can to-day offer the best value in DRY GOODS AND FANCY GOODS
that has ever been offered in Sacramento or any city on the coast.
TO TJSST THIS,
We ask the pleasure of a visit from any and all of those
who desire to Price or Examine Our Goods.
We have no cut and dried set of annoying rules and regulations, to show
people that we consider ourselves better than they.
We ask all to make themselves at home in our House. Our Salesmen are not paid
to rush our friends through their hands at the top of their speed. Our aim is to treat
visitors so that they may feel there is ONE HOUSE IN SACRAMENTO capable of
properly supplying their wants, in the most simple manner ; and if we are busy when
visitors call to PRICE and INVESTIGATE, we would remind them that they can see
our prices for themselves, as
ALL OUR GOODS ARE PLAINLY MARKED .
AT THE SELLING PRICE !

San Francisco, December 17th.— case
of Clodomiro Uota, the Jilexican revolution
ist, came up this morning, pursuant to the
order of the Court, in Department No. 3 of
the Superior Court, and Judge Alien rendered
a decision that the State Courts had no juris
diction in the case, and accordingly discharged
the writ of habeas corpus and remanded Cota
into the custody of the Mexican Consul.
Sheriff Desmond, having previously received
the writ of the United States Court, immedi
ately took Ccta before Judges Hoffman and
Sawyer.
Mr. Peach; said: May it please the Court,
the Sheriff has brought the prisoner Cota
into Court and is now ready to make his re
turn. L. H. Reynolds, attorney for the
Sheriff, then read the return. Judge Sawyer
received the return and said he understood
that the Superior Court had decided that it
had no jurisdiction in the matter. .: ',
Mr. Peachy — I ask that the prisoner be
remanded to the custody of the United
States Marsha), to that there will be no at
tempt made to get the prisoner on board the
Mexican gunboat. .
Tte Court— the order issue. The pris
oner is hereby remanded into the custody of
the United States Marshal.
■ Mr. Peachy — Will the Court set a day for
the hearing of the writ ?
' Judge Hoffman lt is impossible to do so
at present. There is an intricate and long
case before us, and it cannot be set aside for
this matter. Iv. ill set the date some time
early next week. i'-fffi
The Bonanza Suit. iff-

feet of the Kinney ground. This closed ad
th* testimony in the case.* The Court
was very much crowded. The arguments of

Two 3r*tlicrs Murdered.
Petaluma, December 17'.h. — Win. Mullen
and brother, name unknown, were shot and
killed yesterday morning by Albert and Al
fred Qaackenbush, at the Kellogg ranch, ten
miles east of Santa Rosa. It seems there
has been some trouble between the four
brothers about land m disputed possession,
and it is supposed the shooting resulted from
this. The murderers are in custody, and
further developments ate awaited with great
interest.
ANOTHER account.
Santa Rosa, December 17th.— About 10
o'clock Thursday morning Albert and Fred
Qaackenbush, said to be twin brothers, ap
peared at the Sheriff's office with their attor
ney, Judge Thomas Kutledge, and surren
dered themselves to the custody of the
Sheriff, stating that they had killed William
and Charles Mullen in self-defense. About
the same time Fritz Wendt came in from his
mountain ranch, nine or . ten miles east of
Santa Rosa, and reported that William aud
Charles Mullen, who reside-in his neighbor-,
hood, had been murdered, and that their
dead bodies were lying near their residence
in the mountains. Justice Laughlin , was
also notified, and be, in company with the
Sheriff and District Attorney and several
citizens, started at once to the scene of the
homicide, where a Coroner's jury was
impaneled and the bodies of the un
fortunate dead, in charge of the Coroner,
were removed to town. The facts asserted in
the neighborhood where the homicide oc
curred are as follows : William and Charles
Mullen and members of the Quackenbush
family 'were contesting claimants to certain
sections of land, 40 acres of which wa3 con
firmed by the Register to the Mullens. The
othei party took an appeal to Washington,
and tha case is now pending there. A half
breed Spaniard named M. Micarali, who was
employed by the Quackenbush?, seems to
have been the only witness. to the killing.
The dead bodies of the Mullens were' found a
short distance apart, near a Dew fence that
was being built near the Mullens' residence.'
Charles Mullen was shot with a Winchester
rifle, the ball entering the right side four
inches below the right nipple, passing hori
zontally and to the left through the liver and
stomach. William Mullen was shot with a
Colt's large-sized six-shooter, the ball enter
ing four and a half inches above the right
nipple, passed a little upwards and to the
left, fracturing the fourth rib and passing
through the lung, cutting a large artery and
burying itself in the spinal column. - The
physician who held the post mortem thinks
that neither lived mote than fifteen minutes
after being shot.
Coroner's Inquest— Held to Answer.
Stockton. December 17th.— -The Coroner
held an inquest this afternoon over the body
of Charles Hamilton, who took morphine last
night and died before 8 o'clock this morning.
The jury found that deceased was a native of
Indiana, had been in the State five years,
lived recently at Volcano, Amador county,
and administered the fatal poison with his
own hands.
J. B. Datnrel, who fired a pistol at James
Hunter in a saloon in this city on the 4th
inst., had a preliminary examination before
Justice Minta to-day on a charge of assault
j with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. He
was held to answer a chargo of assault with a
deadly weapon with intent to do bodily harm,
and his bail was fixed at -$1,000.

The Stranded Baifc.
Fort Townsend, December ' lGth. — The
bark David Hoadley still lies high and dry
on Rocky Point. The crew are engaged in
taking down her spars.
[SECOND DISPATCH.]
Port . Townsend, December 17th.—Cap
tain Swanton, of the bark David Hoadley,
arrived to-day from Rocky Point, having re
mained aboard since the disaster. _ He gives
it as his opinion that the vessel, with the use
of proper apparatus, can he raised and floated.
The Captain feels down-hearted over the loss
of his vessel, it being his first loss in thirty
two years. There now teems no doubt that
had there been a steamer at hand when the
Captain first sent for assistance, the vessel
could readily have been towed to a safer
place ; but soon afterward nothing could
save her, owicg to the gale that was blowing
and the heavy sea. Captains lately arrived
report having encountered the worst wind
they ever experienced on this coast, several
having been thirty days in making the trip
from Sin Francisco.
