Phoebe Items.
The Phoebe Record contains the fol-
lowing among its local intelligence:
CRIME is rampant i'm Phoebe. Law
defyers. of high and low degree, en-
boldened by immunity from arrest
and punishment for former transgres-
>iOnS. are seemingly more vicious and
audacious with each returning day.
The officers of the law seem almost
owerleSs in their efforts to give good
citizens peace aud security under the
law : and when honest men come to-
gether the first topic of conversation
is the deploraLle state OF public NOR
ais. The functions of the law must
be in>igOrated and purified so as to
give us II local government equal to
the protection of life and property, or
what? Why. the people of the IRON
tiers have everywhere been able to
rescue themselves from the dOniina-
ton of crime and an inefficient add
ministratiOn of justice, and they are
strong enough to do 81 here, ii neces-
Sary. Honest men are vastly in the
majority, and would rather be pro-
tected in Il regular than in an irregu-
lar way but protection they will and
must have. We have been led to make
these remarks from Il case OF stealing
which occurred on Saturday night,
right in the midst OF the city, n
when hundreds were probably on the
street. \ barrel of sherry wine and Il
barrel of butter worth Sl25, We're hodi-
lv rolled away from the front of the
store of Jam S Cronan, a general
dealer on Main street, and no clue
to the perpetrators" as usual. Above
and below Mr.. Cronan'S store are eS-
adjustments which keep open all
night, and there Is ~ doubt that the
thieves saw fifty men, or more, on the
street when they We're making away
with the booty.
ORECHLOROFORMING.-LaS We'd
nrsday night Il miners cabin just
north of Upper Meadow Valley
street, having four inmates, was en-
tered by chlOrofOrmerS, and all the
occupants were etiectually stupefied.
The raScals got away with tut Little
plumbers 7 in coin and Il few articles
of ra!ment of trihing value. And
on Saturday night Mr.. w. q. Maho-
ny, whose cabin is Just southeast of
the Pacific Tunnel, was also visited
while TRANQUILITY dreaming in fancied
security. and the st%upefying inhala-
ton vas administered to him so free
~ that the bold nIanipulators had no
trouble i'll Snatcilng away the pair OF
blankets that was over him. and then
rolling him vel and taking the pair
beneath. The blankets and two shirts
were all the hoodlumS could see Or
thy of contisration, Mr.. Mahony
having no coin lying around loose.
No clue to the perpetrators in either
case. The operators in this branch of
villainv are undoubtedly artists of
rare skill and ripe experience, as such
occurrences have been frequent OF
late, and in every caSe their tracks
have been we'll covered. Go ahead,
bov>-your time will probably coine
after while: and when il does, you
will sleep the sleep that knows no
waking"

inst The day was entirely occupied
in arguing the motion, the Courtroom

tracted AS much by the great reputa-
ton of the attorneys engaged as the
interest they felt in the case, which
involves immense valuation.
Supposed CASE OF EPIZooTY.-A
gentleman arrived in town Sunday
