of the proprietors Of the Chicory ranch. in

water trough on the corner of Second and
streets to let the animal he was driving drink.
In some manner the horse rubbed his bride
off seeing which, Mr.. Palm alighted from
the buggy and went to The horses head to re-
adjust it. This frightened the horse, colt,
and it started to run. Mr.. Palm made an
effort to catch him, but in SO doing was

bruised about the head and face. The horse
then ran down / street, collided with the
phseton of John f. Cooper, damaging the
latter slightly. At the southeast corner of

OUT ON BoND.-On last Thanksgiving
eve number of cattle were stolen from the
farm of Louis Meiss, in the southern part of
Sacramento county. The cattle were tracked
some twenty-i five miles, to town called Com.
manche, in Calaveras county. That portion
of the cattle not slaughtered were returned to
the owner. Officer Jackson, of this city,
and an officer from Calaveras county, arrested
Martin Duffy, Charles Walters and William
Whitman, and took them to Jackson, Anna
dor county, and delivered them to the Sheriff.
The Judge discharged them on the ground
that the Court of that county did not have
jurisdiction. The matter was dropped appa-
rently for some time, but officer jackson and
Deputy Sheriff Lee French have been quietly
but persistently working Up the case ever
since, and on Monday last rearrested the
same parties and brought them to this city.
The officers think they nave a clear case
against them. The chain of evidence is very
strong, and they will surely be convicted I'm.
less they can prove an alibi. On Tuesday
last they were taken before Justice Tubbs of
this city, and admitted to bail in the sum of
81 600 each.

q messenger for any contributions with

now making garden undoubtedly have
NJ of fhipra1-
out shrubs and spare plants, etc., and the
prison authorities will gladly receive them,
