ATTEMPTED CR1ME.-On Sunday morning
the mother of Annie Marks, hall. breed
girl, 16 years old, residing in the city, re-
ported to the police headquarters that her
daughter had disappeared the night before,
FerraI made search and found her in the dive
known as Joe Harris, on the south side of l
street, between Second and Third, where she
had been enticed and drugged. She states
that an attempt had been made both by
Harris, who is q colored man, and also by an
Indian named Charles Lynch, to outrage her,
but she successfully resisted their efforts.
When found Harris had her cloak and hat
in his trunk, and a ring belonging to her on
his finger, and some money which she had
was In bis pocket, all of which he refused to
give up until compelled to do SO by the Off
GER. He was arrested by Ferral, as also
Lynch and woman called Carrie, who claims
to be Harris wife, and all are in the lock. up
to await hearing OF the case. The place
where this affair occurred is one of the lowest
dives that ever existed, being frequented by
all races for such promiscuous purposes as
thrive in these dens of iniauity.
THE WEATHER AND RIvER-The weather
yesterday was showery until towards noon,
when the clouds disappeared and the sun
came out warm and pleasant. It was still
clear at midnight, and the thermometer indi-
Gated more favorable for settled weather.
The rain in the upper valley has been heavier
and mora continuous than at this point.
Captain Rogers, of the steamer Dover, who
came down from Knights Landing, states
that the river has broken through the levee
in several places between that place and Co
lusa. The principal breaks are at Steiner
Bend, opposite TO the breaks which occurred
on the east side last season. A large amount
of land is overhowed in Colusa county by the
discharge from the river through these
erevasses. Breaks have also occurred on the
east side above Three Rivers. 1t is thought
that these can be successfully closed as soon
as the water is somewhat lower. The river
here has commenced to fall. Last night it
marked IL feet 10 inches, being four inches
lower than q hours before.
