ANOTHER Roll OF BLANKETS SroLES.-
An evening or two since, a ranchman,
with a wagon load of vegetables, stop
ped for the night at II hayward on Main
street, a couple Of hundred yards or so
below the News office. While he was
at supper some fellow came and nipped
his bundle of blankets from the top Of
the load. Perhaps it was the same
thief who stole the roll of blankets from
the top of a load of hay standing in
front OF the Piute Hotel q few evenings
ago. If so, the rascal was not so lucky
as he was that time; there was no purse
containing three or four hundred dol
lars rolled up in these blankets. As on
that occasion, the thief escaped with
his booty undetee,ed.

following him, when Young's car struck
some obstruction and was brought to a
sudden s.aud-still. Before he had time
to get out Of the way, the second car
came up and struck him. he was con-
siderably bruised about the chest and
shoulders, but was able to be about
yesterday, though with his arm in n
sling.
