GRAND LARcENY.-A Chinaman named All
Shan was committed to Jail this morning, by
Justice Smith, in default of 81 900 bail, on
charge of grand larceny. 1t appears that goods
to the value Of about fifty dollars were stolen
from the store of Mr.. Cohn, on the 10th inst,
and among the articles was fifty yards Of red
flannel. Yesterday portion of the flannel
was found in the possession of Chinaman,
and it was proven by two Chinese witnesses
that it was purchased of All Shan, who was
accordingly arrested. Mr.. Cohn identified the
flannel, and All Shan being unable to account
for having it in his possession, was taken to
be the thief. Only small portion of the fan
mel was found but as it was taken at the same
time as the other goods, the evidence was con-
sidered sufficient TO warrant the committal of
the accused for grand larceny.
THIEvING.-During the absence Of Mr.. Geo.
A. Church, on Tuesday and Wednesday last,
some one entered his wagon shop, on Cayote
street, and stole double-barrel shot gun, which
had been left in the Office. A gun answering
the description Of the one stolen was offered for
sale to Mr.. Lachman, on Wednesday, but was
not purchased. The person who offered it was
a stranger to Mr.. Lachman, and has not since
been seen in town.
HEAVY FALL.-A gay horseman was coming
down Broad street this afternoon, and just as
he turned the corner Of Pine, some wag asked
him the price of his horse. He answered ga
hundred and fifty dollars" and had no sooner
said it, than his horse slipped on the wet planks,
falling on his side, while the rider took the
measure of an unmade grave" He instantly
came down hundred on the price of his horse.
FEET FRozEN.-Mr. Mau, brother of A.
Mau Of the Golden Gate Hotel, had both Of his
feet frozen, week or two ago, while on his
way from Washoe to Esmeralda. The unfor-
