COMPLAINT OF MORE LEvEE CUTTING.-A
correspondent of the RECORD UNION sends
the following The Pearson leyee. in the
lower end Of this county, was cut by about
half 3ozsa men of whom such disgraceful
acts were not to be expected-nen who should
be the foremost to prevent such acts by 9th
ers They have been until now respected cit
isens they are rich men, aud they think they
eau 10 IS they please, but it is to be hoped
they VIII be prosecuted to the full extent OF
the Law. TEis levee was built some ten years
ago by Pearson. The men who Cut it do not
own any of it, and even if they did they had
no right to cut it and food their neighbors
below them, who by this act they have dam
aged many thousands Of dollars, without ben
fitting themselves, for the water on their land
was not lowered more than q few inches
by the cut, showing that the natural drainage
was not through these mems land. 1t appears
to me that it was simply jealousy that actu-
ated them to do this, FOR the land below them
was getting dry, and tbs owners were getting
ready to cultivate the same, which now they
cannot 10 this year, as 1t il very doubtful
whether the water will run off before fail.
On some of them this loss falls very heavily.
Besides being criminally prosecuted, the cut
tiers should be made to pay heavy damages"
RoBBER CAUGHT-On last Friday rob
berry was committed of Chinaman's cabin
on Sol. Runyan's ranch, near CORTLAND, and
quantity of fine clothing, $3.50 in gold coin,
> silver watches and fve-shooter revolver
were taken. An Can, Chinaman who had
been seen about there recently, seemed
very anxio1s on that evening to get to
this city-offering SIS to be brought here.
This aroused the suspicion of Deputy Asses
sor j. E. Baker who questioned him about
his business, and finally became so confirmed
in his distrrst Of him that he examined
bundle he had with him, and in it found some
of the stolen property. He then arrested
him, and the $3.50 was found upon his person,
and the two watches in some straw near
by, where they stood at the time he was
arrested, and which he in some manner man
aged to Get out Of his possession without
being noticed. Yesterday afternoon he had
an examination before Justice Cogeins, Dis
trict Attorney Buckley appearing for the
prosecution, ia this city. All the property
was identified, and defendant held to answer
before the Superior CSuft. The bail was
fixed at $1,000.
