CHARGE OF GRAND LARCENY.-A warrant
was issued by Justice Smith, on Thursday last,
on the complaint of w. w. Hawks, charging r..
II. Burns with grand larceny, in stealing $3.50.
1t appears that Hawks and Burns were mining
partners, near Red Dog, and the latter having
taken the partnership funds, to the amount
above stated, disappeared from the diggings.
Hawks followed him to Nevada, where he found
Burns, and ascertained that he had invested a
portion of the funds in a new suit of clothes
and gold watch. Burns, however, agreed to
meet Hawks at some saloon, in an hour and a
half, and settle with him, but failing to come
up to his agreement, Hawks entered a com
plant against him for larceny. He could not
be found in town by the officer, and as there
was no probability that he could be held on a
criminal charge, it was thought to be inexpedi-
ent to use any further eXeTtiOns to find him
HIGHWAY RoBBERY.-Alvin Cove and John
Brodie, who live in cabin near Little Deer
creek bridge. same into town yesterday NOR
ming and stated mat they had been robbed Of all
the money in their possession, while on their
way home the night before. Brodic, it appears
had been drinking pretty freely, and late in the
evening the two men started for their cabin.
While crossing the bridge, Brodie fell down.
and Cove was in the act of picking him up
when two highwaymen suddenly made their ap-
pearance and demanded their money. Cove
offered some resistance, when one of the rob
bers struck at him with knife, and cut Sc
we're cash on his right hand. They then took
twenty dollars from Cove, and Brodie says
they relieved him of fifty; but as the latter was
out of money the night before, and was not in
q condition to appreciate exactly what was
done, his account of the affair is not deemed
very reliable.

boxes of Messrs. Huff & Co., at Gopher Hill,
we're robbed last Thursday night. From APP
pearances, there must have been five or six
men engaged in the work. They went to work
Systematically, first going to the ditch and let
ting on the water, and then cleaning the sluices
from beginning to end. They must have work.
ed good portion of the night. The sluices
contained all the gold made by the work Of ff-
teen men for two weeks, and from the amount
the claims had been paying it is supposed the
robbers got between 81 900 and 81 800. So
far as we are aware, the owners Of the claims
have no clue to the robbers.
