WILL BIZ TRIED IN T9Is CoUNTY.-Dis-
trict Attorney Buckley has received letter
frem 7. J. Hart, District Attorney of Colusa
county, notifying him that there is at present
in custody in Colusa o man named Jack Ran
dolpb, who was some years since indicted by
the Grand Jury of Sacramento county for
cattle stealing. The prisoner was arrested at
Colusa for the same offense, and has been
twice tried there for grand larceny. The
jury both times failing TO agree, il is thought
no conviction can be had; consequently il is
considered best to turn Randolph over to the
Sacramento authorities, and he will be
brought here for trial. The offense for which
Randolph was indicted by the Sacramento
Grand Jury YVES the stealing of cattle from
ii. Strobefs place, below this city. In that
crime he had partner named Irwin Sy-
monds, who pleaded guilty to the charge and
was sentenced to serve term IN the State
Prison at San Qaentin, in November, 1877.
