A WouLp-Bs ScouSDREL.-The ske'
daddling County Treasurer (thief?) Of
Santa Clara county, Mccall, who was
arrested yesterday morning between
Fort Churchill and the Sink Of Walker
river, was cetainly one Of the biggest
muttou-hesded thieves we ever heard OF
but as he is now on the road to the
scene Of his late villainy in California,
we should "draw it mild" We con-
versed, this morning, with Mr.. Rahilly,
of Gold Hill, who returned last night
from Pine Grove District, and he says
that he saw Mccall At Wellington's sta
ton last Thursday; travelled with him
half q day, and had considerable talk
with him; bu, Mccall Was very reticeut
as to who he was, where he came from.
or where he was going. Our informant
says he was well dressed, travelling on
foot, (which seemed specially to attract
the attention Of Rahilly and his COM
panions, who were on horseback, but
on a prospecting tour At Yelling
tons, Mccall tried to buy q saddle
horse, and failing in this, he hired the
young man who is selegraphic operator
at that Station, to drive him in a buggy
to Pine Grove. Here ue believe, he sue
ceeded in buying An animal. Mr.. Rsh-
lily says Mccall made but a short stay
in Pine Grove, and on leaving, signifed
his intention TO 60 to Silver Bend.
This evidently was not his intention, as
be kept on down the Walker river val
ley, which was not the direction to
Silver Bend. The pursuing officers, who
were only a few hours behind, tracked
him more shrewdly than he expected,
and arrested him when he least thought
Of being caught, which was down near
the Sink Of the Walker, where there are
more or less Piute and other Indians
now encsmped. The officers found on
the person Of the ~sbscoudiug scoundrel
about SIS, 500 in greenbacks, and other
securities. He seemed to have tried TO
keep out of the way Of the telegraph
wires but the guilt which ever follows
on the trail of a thief OF q murderer
tracked him in the wilderness without
the aid of lightning. He was caught,
and 10 now on his way to face the people
whom he betrayed and robbed. Truly,
the way of the trausgressor is hard.
SPRISxLISG.-The Town Trustees last
night passed q resolution authorizing
Marshal Began to get Main street wa
tered, or sprinkled, every day from the
6re-plugs, and without cost TO the peo-
pie. This is = good idea. There is no
necessity OF our citizens along Main
street paying a private enterprise 10 do
this work, when there is plenty of water,
a large reservoir 10 hold il, and plenty
Of fre-plugs, hose, and regular work
men paid BY the Town to work on the
s,reets-sll connected with the Town
corporation, and for all Of which our
taxpayers come out very literally every
twelve mouths. Marshal Began will
have the work well done.
