HoRsE THIEF CAUGHT Marshal Keller re-
turned last evening from the upper country,
having in custody Henry Homan, the thief
who stole Messrs. Bush and Boones horses
at Salem, about two weeks since. AS soon
MS information of the theft reached here, sus-
picion was at once attached to Homan, who
had left town few days previous, and Mar
shall Keeler, arming himself with a warrant,
started in pursuit of the thief. On arriving
at Umatilla he procured the assistance of a
man who was acquainted with the country,
and started after the thief, whom he tracked
forty miles, and succeeded in capturing two
men who had the animals After an exami-
nation at Umatilla, one of the men was dis
charged, it appearing that he had nothing
to do with the theft. The other was turned
over to the Marshal, who brought him and
the horses to this city, and locked the hom-
bre up. In this, as in all other matters that
requires the prompt action of an officer, Mar
shall Keeler has shown himself o valuable
man for the position he holds in our munici-
pal government. We would suggest TO the
Valley people that when thefts like this are
committed among them, that they immedi-
ately furnish descriptions of their stock to
the officers here, and in very few cases will
they fail to arrest the thieves should they
pass this way,

WE noticed yesterday an ox-train of ten
wagons, and two large pack-trains, loaded
up for the John Day country. These teams
belong to Mr.. Lockwood, who has been
teaming on this road for some time. They
were loaded at few ofour wholesale houses,
and is but a tithe of what the trade of that
rich mineral region would be had teamsters
and packers any protection for themselves
and their stock against the dcpredations of
the thieving Indians on the road.

TIMES IN BOISE BAsIN.-The Idaho World
says the bitches are now full of water, and
the mining community are busy Mt work.
Very few idle men are to be seen on the
streets, giving the town an air of quietude,
in remarkable contrast with that presented
year ago, when the town was crowded
with an idle, restless population with but
little to do, and with little disposition to
work when work could be obtained. The
claims in Elk an Moore's creeks still afford
work for large population, and the banks
of both streams are rapidly caving in under
hydraulic pressure. The claims on the bars
heretofore neglected, are generally paying
better than even their most sanguine owners
anticipated. The supply Of labor is nearly
equal to the demand, though in some locali-
ties more menare wanted than can be found.
Wages continue at six dollars per day, and
seven dollars at night.

to Mrs. Maigne, and the latter with her
TO Maigne's oil factory. They there found
out that man named Rose had accompA-
MED Oberay to witnesses house to get Mrs.
Maigne,s things. Witness had tho parties
arrested. .3'
Mrs. Msigne testified that she got Obe-
raw to haul some things of hers from Mrs.
Turner's, and that when the latter came to
her to tell her that her house had been
robbed, she went to her husbands fac
tory, and found out that man named Rose
had accompanied Oberay when he went
after the things.
In the absence of material evidence, the
case was continued until to-day.
1t being shown that the Rose arraigned
was John Rose, who had been arrested for
his brother Toby, he was honorably dis
charged.
Oberay was offered bail, but being TN.
able to give it, was remanded to Jail.

Kentucky, late of the firm Of Bacon, Clardy
& Co., OF New York, has bought Of Major
boswell, Of Hanover, the following blooded
stock: The fns horse Exchequer; 0 lilly,
three years old, by Planet ont Of Annett
Hall; and. q two-year old filly, By JEFF.
Davis out Of Fannie Washington. This Is
the very best of stock. Rumor says that
the sum of slO,000 was paid for these
horses. While 1t is not pleasant to see our
fine stock thus carried out of the State,
It is gratifying that Planet and Orion are
still here to maintain It. Nevertheless,
the transportation and exchange of stock
is beneficial to it, and assists in elevating
and invigorating the blooded horse and
improving his performances. Kentucky Is
fortunate in making this inroad upon Major
Doswell's stable.

What MAMMALIAN Thinks.

The correspondent of the New York Herald gives
the following account of conversation that Maxi
milan recently had with q Yankee, who engaged
in business in Mexico, came in collision with the
Government, and applied TO the Emperor in person.
The Emperor said he wished for nothing more than
TO make the acquaintance Of President johnson and
Secretary Seward. Il am convinced said he that
after frank and honest conversation, we should
part friends. No one desires more than l TO have
your Government a good neighbor. No one would
reap better harvest from the seed which have
sOwn than your nation. l regret nothing more than
that, in my former position as Admiral of the Aus
TRAN feet, l could not carry out my tavorite pro-
iects-to visit the United States for [ love the
Americans and admire their practical talent In all
my work at Pola, T-este and Venice l employed
Americans, and l regret that / should not now, in
my difficult task, have the support of your nation
Your countrymen, 10 be sure, are hostile to my
Government because | was obliged 10 bring wit b
NE an army OF invasion. But ii possible other
wise My predecessor, Juarez, left me nothing but
ruins and divided nation. l was obliged to lay a
firm foundation that the edifce might not be over
turned by the first storm. ! have enough material
in my people to give my young state that security
which il SO much needs; but then your people must
not intervene 10 disturb peaceful neighbor. Your
nation is too strong TO have the least fear of young
= neighbor.
