A gentleman named Grant Room
was robbed of some clothes and jew
elry in this city some time since. The
affair was kept quiet for the time, but
Officer Harris was placed on the track
of the burglarizing gentleman, and
yesterday effected his capture. The

He had on his person a pocht full of
the stolen jewelry, and the clothing
which he had taken was also recov
cred.
The man who was accidentally shot
on the San Fernando train the day be-
fore yesterday is Refugio Cruz. The

DIR. Jansco, extracted the ball and the
patient is, we are glad to state, doing
well.
We were shown yesterday, by Capt.
Borrowe, a new patent nozzle for fire
lose, which we believe has great
merits. 1t is constructed very much
after the style of the ordinary nozzle,
but its novelty consists of an appara-
tus for scattering the stream when de-
sired, to cover space three or four
times as large as can be reached by
that thrown in solid body. 1t can
be changed without the least incon-
venience, and made to operate in
either manner. The invention de-
serves trial by our Fire Company.

notorious horse-thieves, were lodged
in Jail here yesterday. Tney had been

and Senior Sandoval. 1t is said that
an Indictment is on file il Fresno
county against Levia for murder, and
after his trial here he will probably be
sent for by the authorities Of that
county. They were arraigned in the
District Court and Monday next set
for trial.

able auspices, and we trust

bers and interest, constituting means
of intellectual entertainment and i'm
provement for all associated with 1t.
