HORSE THIEvING on THE TRUCKER
a regularly organized band Of horse
thieves appear to make the ranches
along Truckee River a principal field
for their rascality. During the past
few weeks quite 4 number Of horses
and mules have been stolen from that
section in q very expert and syste-
matte manner, 10 trace being subse-
auently obtained as to where they
were u to, although there Is reason for
suspecting that q depot or rendezvous
for these stolen animals exists away
to the eastward, toward Elko. in some
sly ranch among the hills. About two
weeks ago 4 large valuable horse was
stolen from Groton's ranch, some ten
miles below Stone g. Gates Crossing.
The proprietor and another person got
OH track and followed to Dayton,
where further trace was lost. They,
however, found u man named Fred.
Drown, ut Carson, whom they had
reason to believe was the thief, so they
procured his arrest. Friends of his got
him released on a writ Of habeas cor
pus, but he was re-arrested ut Virginia
BY officer Ben Lackey next day. On
examination before Justice Livingston,
he was released by giving bail In the
sum of 5000, to appear for trial day
after tomorrow. IL Is high time this
high-handcd thievery was put a stop to.
PrER's OpERA HoUsE.-Owing to
the unfortunate illness of Joe Murphy
last evening-his benefit night-he
was not able to appear, therefore the
entire programme had to be changed.
A very excellent entertainment, how
ever, vas given, including the Lot
terry Ticket" and two or three choice
pieces. We never saw Betsy Baker"
played half so good. Sue Robinson Is
better In that character than anybody
else in the world, and last evening she
threw an extra degree Of spice into the
rendition. surprising all her former
efforts. Billy Robinson, too, rs Mr..
Grumpy, was most excellent, and the
others all did well. The theater Is
closed tonight! and tomorrow even
ing Proctor, the talented and famous
comedian, makes his first appearance,
In Jack Cade."
