TRUcKEE, Jan. "A daring burglary
occurred to-day in Truckee by, it is pre-
sumed, certain impecunious individuals
who have been hanging around town fol
some time past. The saloon Of Melocke 4
Co., at ar early hour this morning. was
entered by q side window and the door
opened from the inside. The iron safe,
supposed to contain quite a large sum Of
money, was deposited on a railroad truck
and wheeled across the river, where it was
broken open at the burglars leisure. Most
of the property usually kept in the safe by
the proprietors of the saloon had been
removed previously, and the perpetrators
of the affair secured only about $50 and
lot of deeds, insurance papers, etc. Owing
to the strong suspicious as to who the
burglars were, arrests will probably short
ly be made.
