.ho wool sneak thief, Charley Rodds, or
as he ia more generally known. Chicken
thief Charley, has again been on the ram
mace. Day before yesterday he entered
,he cabin of Mr.. Cowen, in the lower
n.-t Of town. and packed off all he could
ppa pm, carry, blankets. etc. Officer
WnKae was apprised of the matter,
~ ofter hunting around some little
w. found Mr.. Charley with the plumber
IL hack. No sooner did he catch
o .ili a. 81 Mckee, than away he went, and
81 slsu ossoar after him. Mckee finding
,ha, he would not stop by fair means,
.r;a5 The effect of shot, which had the
affsct of making Charley drop his load,
bnt still kept on his pace, being acceler-
osaa by one or two more shots, which
The officer sent after him, but he finally
not away, Mckee came up town and

Considerable portion of the night in try
;rr 10 find his man, but SO far without
success. Officer Mckee deserves con-
siderable credit for his constant efforts
to keep evil-doers in order.
O'MALLEY.--We are informed that
disnatch was received in town yesterday
to the effect that O'Malley, who pleaded
cnilty to charge OF assault on that old
seoupdrel Cavalier, was fined $500 or
100 DAYS imprisonment. If this proves
to be true, the citizens of Phoebe and
Bullonyile would do well to subscribe
enough money to pay the fine and get
O'Malley out of the clutches of those
San Francisco ducks, who will stand and
look on while man is being robbed, but
if he goes for the rogue, punish him
forthwith. The only trouble about the
matter is that O'Malley did not shoot
straight Mr. Cavaliers European trip
might then have been indefinitely post
poned.
P1cy1c.-.Iany Of the school children
went out yesterday as proposed, but in
consequence of the high winds but little
could be done in the way of enjoyment.
The wind at times blew gale. and was
sufficiently chillyto render rapid locomo-
ton necessary to KEEP warm. In spite
of all these drawbacks. with the happy
gayety OF childhood many of the young
sters seemed to enjoy themselves consid-
erably. With their lunch cans on their
arms, they looked like SO many little
miners going to work. We cannot but
regret that it was not a pleasant day; if
it had been, the young ones would have
had real good time.
COMPETITION is good for the public,
and is the very soul Of trade. Knowing
this, we are glad to note that there will
be rivalry in the ice business. From an
announcement in our advertising col
umns, it will be seen that an excellent
article will be delivered at low prices
from the Crystal Ice Depot, Main street,
four doors above J. j. Halpin & Co. S
store. A. E. Arnold is the agent, and
will always be on hand, prompt and
obliging.

knowledge of an elegant and desirable
accomplishment should at once enroll
their names. The school will be hled at
Browns Hall, as usual.
DRUGs.-We call attention to the adj.
vettisement of G. r. Alexander. the well

Alexander has quite an assortment of
garden and vegetable seeds, which those

speCt.
HKo.-Iesterday we met Mr.. Wilson,
from Hike. That gentleman reports
matters very quiet down in that direc.
ton, The farmers are busy with the
