AN ACCOMPLISHED VILLAIN-Chas.
Burch, one the Shasta robbers, was arrested
one day this week at Cherokee Flat, BY
Sheriff Daniels of thi. county. Burch is
an old and accomplished offender Nearly
year since he was arrested in Marysville
for the breaking open of safe, but through
some informalify of the prosecution was not
convicted Of the crime he was guilty of.
From thence he made his way to Oregon
where he was arrested and convicted of
crime, and sentenced to the State Prison,
bur made his escape, coming down on the
same vessel upon which the celebrated
Frank Anderson was arrested. He was
an accomplice Of notorious band of out
laws, committing bold and aggravating Of
fences against the people of Oregon. We

worthy and energetic Sheriff DaLiels hav-

was seen in our crunty, tracked him. and

B .yd, at Cherokee Flat, where he arrested
him, and bringing him to Chico, delivered
him over to deputy Sheriff, Vickers, of Tc-
hama county, where (?) bis last offence was
committed, Sheriff Vickers embarked upon
the train bound for Tehama, on Thursday
evening, with his prisoner securely bound

Immediately stopped and backed for two
miles, but no trace ceuld be found of the
missing villain. Sheriff Daniels cautioned
the Deputy Of Tehama that he had no insig
nifcant criminal in his possession and
bid him to be exceedingly careful or he
would escape Sheriff Daniels has already
distinguished himself as good detective
aud efficient officer and we predict for him
bright record. We do hope this ''double-
dyed" villain may again be caught, and
made to expiate his crimes.-[Chico Een-
