Three men were arrested at Yon-
cola charged with horse stealing,
| and taken to Oak Grove, where
they were examined and discharg-
ed. Two of tie party, however,
were rearrested for stealing blal-
kets and fined twenty dollars, in
default Of which they were sent to
jail. 1t seems that the fellows ar
rested were travelling with kind
of a minstrel show, and hired a
team in California to take them
through, the owner sending
driver along to take care of, and
return with the team. When they
had proceeded some distance on the
road, the driver proposed to sell
! the wagon and harness, and take
the horses and leave. This the
/ showmen refused to do at the time,
but when they arrived at Oak
Grove Station they qietly got up in
; the night, and not only left the
wagon, but the rog,lish driver also.
1t appears to have been an instance
where very little honor was dis
! played, rogues as they were.
