A BOLD RoBBER. - George A. King,
Secretary of the Virginia and Truckee
Railroad Company, returned from New
York this morning, having in his charge
a young lady, sister of Mrs. d. B.
Lyman, of the Mexican mill. He had
some papers and other articles, amount
ing in value to about 5000, rolled up in
a pair Of blankets and done up in patent
straps. This bundle was placed on
seat in the rear passenger coach, in order
that the debarkation of Mr., King and
the young lady might not delay the train
at the Mexican mill. AS the train
moved off from Carson thief seized
the bundle and threw it off the car,
jumping off after it. Seeing this, Mr..
King jerked the bell-rope TO stop the
train, opened the rear door and called to
the night Waterman on the platform of
the depot to seize the thief The watch
man did so, but the thief struggled
desperately and would probably have
escaped had not Mr.. King and another
passenger ran to the assistance of the
Waterman before the train could be
backed up. The fellow was made to
point out the hiding place of the bundle,
which be had thrown under the side or
end of the platform, and he was then
marched off to Jail, where q charge of
grand larceny was preferred against him.
