About two months ago a gentle-
man named Meyers arrived in this
city from the East, having in his pos
session diamonds to the amount of 10
or IL Thousand dollars. The collection
numbered among others, two gems
valued at thousand dollars each.
Meyers was desirous of selling his
stock and secured the services Of a
broker of such articles to assist him In
the sale. The broker introduced to
him young man named Hiurs, who
he thought could render assistance In
securing purchasers for the jewels, as
he had been clerk In several large
jewelry establishments. On Thursday
morning Hiurs went to the diamond
dealer and represented that a wealthy
stakeholder of California street
who was desirous of presenting his
son with a couple of diamonds of the
character of those possessed by Mr..
Meyers, and he thought that he could
sell them very readily to him. He
desired ,however,to take the diamonds
to the man privately, but the mer-
chant objected strongly but deceived
by the frank and ingenious face of
young Kinks finally relented upon
consideration that the young man
would return every two hours and ex-
hibit the stones to the merchant. The
enterprising young man put in an ap-
pearance faithfully every two hours
until three o'clock. AT the next hour
failed to appear and Meyers became
apprehensive and sought his friend
the croker. They repaired to the po-
lice office and called into requisition
the services of the policemen, but he
could not be found. Information was
obtained however, that he and a fe-
male friend had taken trip to the
Springs. e.l

road Co., says that no reduction of
fares will be made on any of their
lines for the accommodation of excur-
sionists on the 4th of July and that no
changes whatever will be made In the
regular running of the trains. Appli-
cations are daily received from towns
on every division of the road and if
the rules should be suspended to offer
special rates and extra trains to ac-
commodate people residing in the
neighborhood of San Francisco, the
same would have to be done for resi-.
dents near Stockton, Marysville and
Sacramento.
