stealing sacks from w. IL. strong u 20. 8
store. In April, 1880, he was arrested
for the burglary OF the residence of Mrs.
Walsh, on K, between Second and Third
streets, but was not finally convicted.
His frequent arrests and presence in the city
Jail and Police Court, however, continued.
The past fall, under the name of Charles
Connors, and aided by Tom Woods, he
robbed man in Butte county, but the charge
was finally reduced to petit larceny. and he
served term of fifty days in the County
Jail at 0roville. Upon being released he
came to his native city, and here, within the
past three weeks. with his associate Dare,
broke into the premises of Lee Stanley and
stole thirty dozen eggs from a rancher's
wagon, for which they are now serving out
100 DAYS apiece in the County Jail under
sentence awarded December 2Sth. On the
same night in which they committed this
larceny they also committed the burglary and
stole the watch from O'Hearn, for which they
are now held to answer, and for which there
is an excellent prospect that the public will
be relieved of their presence and depreda-
tiohs for some time TO come, as long term
in State Prison for both is confidently antici-
pated by the law officers.
