CONSIDERABLE OF A THIEF.-Last
Thursday evening, about 6 O'Clock,
while the Overland coach was unload
ing in front of Wells, Fargo & Co.'s in
Virginia, n bar Of silver bullion weigh
ing about GO pounds, valued at
Sl,2l7 20, was stolen, and no trace OF
the thief was found, until yesterday a
lady near the Divide having occasion
TO suspect one John McAdoo OF
stealing a lot of blankets from her,
took occasion to explore the house oc-
cupied by him, which was the little
octagon cottage formerly occupied by
Mrs. Bell. Discovering n consider
able amount of what she thought
was stolen property, she lodged IN,
formation with police, who proceeded
thither for tho purpose Of arrcsting him.
He. however, was on the alert it seems,
for seeing the officers approaching the
house he took the aforesaid bar OF bull
lion which he had in his possession, anu
Ieft in n hurry. The officers got so
close after him, however, that he had
to drop the bar in the snow, where II was
recovered. He escaped, but was tracked
to Gold Hill, where all trace Of him was
lost, and ut last accounts was not cap
tured. In his cabin was found stolen
the blankets, also u lot OF spoons ana
other stolen property.
