pairing way through the sand bar for the

Yesterday Marshal Wells telegraphed
to Chicago to arrest man named j. Gam
BILE. who, it was thought, had stolen Hen
ry Mars's watch and chain. Last night
the marshal received an answer that Gam
Bile had been arrested by the police au-
thorities Of that city. He is an old often
der and is probably the party who CON-
mitted the theft, he having been in Mars's
room on Saturday evening. He will ar
rive tonight and have hearing before
Squire Mapes.
Last night stranger who gave his name
as Hanchett and claimed to hail from
Dixon, Ills. was lodged in the calaboose by
Officer Olsen for being somewhat intoxi,
Gated and exhibiting symptoms of insanity.
This morning he was up before Justice
Mapes, but as no special charge was made
against him, he was discharged. The man
was evidently insane. He gave three or
four different names, last night, and claim
ed among other things to be nephew of
the late illustrious Thaddeus Stevens.
He addressed 4 crowd on the street and
seemed anxious to impress on their minds
that Andrew jackson was dead.
Last evening between and o'clock,
Officer John Mccain observed an unusual
light in the direction of the bluffs near the
site of the old school house; and upon re-
pairing thither, discovered a crowd OF
boys, around large bonfire the flames Of
which they we're feeding from fence rails,
pieces of doors, broken window shutters,
etc, from the school property near by.
The whole party was lodged in the Gala
Doose but released about - O'Clock. This
seems like encouraging malicious mischief
in earnest. They ought to be punished,
but this is probably the last that will bt
heard Of the matter. 1t was only 4 shor
time ago that party of boys stoned thu
windows and otherwise defaced one of Ou
school buildings Officer Mccain probabl,
has the names of the Is promising youns
lads who were engaged in the unlawful
proceedings Of last evening, every one 0
whom should be punished and taught tina
, they cannot destroy public or private pro
perry at will. The proper authorize
) should look into the matter at once.
