900, the name of that notorious, if not
s.o,.brated individual, "Chicken-thief
Charley" Often has he been the means
of furnishing an item for the local col
ANN Not seldom has he been brought
hsfore the Justices Court, and for many
DAVIS he has sojourned within that great
est of our public institutions, the County
Jail Aud yet he once remarked that he
was uujustly credited with achievements
which he had not performed. He once
said. when in the clutches of the law,
YOU'RE always accusing me of stealing.
Init Won can't catch me, You never
prove that steal anything" Yesterday
afternoon, however, he was caught
physically caught-by miner whose
cabin is beyond the Divide. This gen.
tleman had missed personal property to
the amount of about $25, and thought he
had good reason to suspect "Chick-
en.tbief Charley" of having stolen it.
Yesterday he saw that llght-fin-
eered parsonage passing not far
from his cabin. He straightway
went to meet the thief and asked
him to return the stolen articles. Charles
replied. with a look of indignant and in
iured innocence, You're always accus-
inc me of stealing your things. Now l
want YOU to stop. / haven't got them,
nor didn't steal them" The miner re-
piled, "You did steal them, and you will
lave to return them" Charles put his
hand into his back pocket, as If to draw
a weapon, whereupon the miner, with an
arm strong from repeated swinging of
the sledge hammer on the drill,
dealt his opponent blow upon
the side Of the head, which
telled him to the earth. As he
fell, a razor, supposed to be tho weapon
which he intended to draw, fell from his
pocket. By dint OF repeated blows with
his fist the miner prevailed upon Charles
to admit that he had stolen the goods, and
to promise their return. Between every
blow he was asked, "Will you ever do it
again." and he replied with. tears and
lamentations, "No-o-o.o" 1t is to be
hoped that he never will.
The AMERICAN FLAG.--At the closing
OF the San Francisco Stock Board yes
terday afternoon American Flag stock
was IS per share This is a rise OF S.. 80
since Tuesday last. The number OF
shares sold yesterday was large, 3,270.
Such rise as this leads to the belief,
either that the stock sharps are at work
with the shares, or that the developments
in the mine itself warrant the rise in
value of its stock. Every one seems to
know this fact, but which of the two
causes is now at work no one can tell.
Yesterday the Superintendent remarked
that the indications were very favorable.
On Monday the stock closed at $2H
Tuesday $40, Wednesday S51s, Thurs.
day at Az, and yesterday at So Such
being the case, if the rise depends only
on indications, we should say that those
indications must be very favorable.
