Caught in the Act.

an, nros. was entered in the case OF DOS.
1,,obs. who came before the District
indicted for forgery. This result was
oh,oined through the influence OF his
friends, and parents, who are Respectable
neople. About the same time W. n.
Thatcher. who had been held In Jail on
,wo indictments for forgery. was bailed
ont and his case was continued. There
,uo individuals, with another-a petty
,h;ef-made plan to leave this cruel
town, and go to some more genial cline.
Upluckiy the third party committed
some trivial offense aud was detained by
the officials of the county. One week
400 last Tuesday, Jacobs hired, from
Go G. Johnston's livery stable, horse
,ritb which TO 60 to Bullionville. He
returped the same day. On the follow
inc Thursday be again procured horse
from the same place to go to Bullion
vile ON pretence of having some busi-
ness there connected with the great min.
mo trial now going on in the District
Court Arriving at Bulionville he bor-
rowed pistol from MeDerlnott,
saloon-keeper in that place, saying that,
AS he was going down the Meadow VAL
lev Wash to subpoena some witnesses,
he would probably have an opportunity
during the trip (Which would take seve-
raj days), to shoot some game. He left
the same day, and in the evening arrived
nj Newman s ranch, sixteen miles down
the valley from Bullionyille, where, by
oupoiutment, he met Thatcher. There
thiay remained until last Monday.
Meanwhile, Johnston being informed
of this, procured a warrant for his (Ja-
cobs') arrest, which was put into the
hands of officer David James. James
arrived at Newman on Wednesday last,
and found that the fugitives had left that
place ON Monday, bound for San Juan.
But he could obtain no information as to
the route they had taken. On Thursday
he returned to town, but having BUSH
ness at Newman's. he went down again
the same day. He heard that the two
men were in the vicinity, ana proceeded
to ApperuLita's, about four miles below
Newman S. He knew that they had not
passed that place, and expected them to
90 by during that night. Therefore, in
stead of sleeping in the house, he made
his preparations to pass the night in q
hay.stack near it, in order that he might
better hear the passing runaways.
Just as James was about to 60 to bed
he heard the tramp of approaching
horses, and looking out he saw his man,
in company with Thatcher, going past.
They had made their final prepar-
atoms and were at last we'll started
on the journey to the new Ell Dorado.
He Immediately summoned another man
from the house, and having saddled
couple of mnles, they followed in the
track of the travellers. About mile be-
low the ranch Jacobs and Thatcher had
halted to re-arrange the pack upon u
mule which they were driving, Here the
pnrsuers came up with them, and by
James direction, his companion hailed
them, and asked whittier they we're
bound. ITO Arizona" was the reply.
James then came forward and covered
Jacobs with shotgun, whilst his COM
panion, tacitly requested Thatcher to
look into muzzle of pistol. They
then disarmed Jacobs, and, as the officer
nhNl ~ WutIuut W utItSt lnihtCuCl, ne
assisted that gentleman to repack his
mule and sent him on his way rejoicing.
It may here DO remarked that his bonds
men are not rejoicing as much over the
fact MS he was then, for as matter of
course, they will have to enrich the
County Treasury and lessen next years
taxes in the sum for which the bond was
given.
Officer James returned with his priso-
ner to Phoebe. arriving here at 5 O'Clock
Yesterday morning, and giving Jacobs
into the custody of the jailor. He will
await in Jail on charge of grand larceny
until the action of the next Grand Jury,
whilst his late travelling companion will
joytully journey on to the golden noun
tains of Arizona.
