BURIAL -- The Tuolumne Water Company, in whose employment the deceased formerly was, brought down the remains of Mr. Jacob GEDDIS, who was so mysteriously murdered, some months ago, on the line of the ditch in the mountains, and had the body interred in our cemetery last Friday. His age was about 28, and no clue has yet been obtained to the assassin who was the cause of his death.
