A lot of bedding aud O. brocade
shawl. the latter worth $50. were stolen
from the residence Of. Thomas Thomp-
son. He accused a Cinnamon. who has
been cooking for him. of stealing the
articles. The Chinaman at first
declared that he did not steal them,
but upon being threatened with arrest,
he stated that the bedding was at Sam
Wa Lungs and that it was not safe for
him to demand it as the Chinaman who
had stolen it would probably shoot
him. He was advised to get the Sheriff
to assist him, which he did, and this
morning he packed the bedding back
to Mr.. Thompsou's The shawl he
has not yet returned. thoagh he admits
that it was stolen while he was getting
bucket Of water. The scoundrel
took advantage of a d~ath which
recently ocenrrt in the family, to steal
those articles and attribute the theft TO
white people who visited the house at
the tune of the funeral.

The Treachcrous River Claims
Another Victim.
Joseph Hinkel. u lad about IL years
of age. was drowned 10 a slough or
arm of the Hnmboldt near the race
track last Saturday evening. He was
engaged In herding cattle and sheep on
tbs yiver bottom, and was visited by
other boys, with whom he Was
poiing q small raft made of two or
shree old railroad ties on the slough.
One of his companions, small boy
who could render him no assistance,
states that Josey, as he Was called, was
pushing the raft along the water when
he suddenly disappeared. This issup-
posed to have occurred about O'Clock
in the afternoon; but the boy, being
frightened. said nothing about it until
late 10 the evening. when search was
made for the missing boy. A party Of
men went to.the slough after dark aud
~oaght for the body where the boy said
they were playing with the raft. Sew
eral good swimmers dove to the
bottom of the slough. which was about
thirteen feet deep, and were about to
give up the search, when Jack Rhodes
made another dive. and succeeded in
finding the remains. which were taken
to he residence of his mother. He
was noted by everybody as one Of the
qnietest. best behaved and most in
dustrions boys of his age in the town,
and his bsreased mother and little
brothers have the sympathy of the
entire community in this their hour of
affection.

the better. We noticed ia a number vi
