Property Recovered.

Property Recovered.
j. r. Hodson yesterday recovered most
Of the jewelry and property which was
stolen from his residence on the Goth of
last month, during the McKenna Republi-
can demonstration. Large rewards were
offered for the recovery Of the property.
which consisted principally of diamond
Jewelry, watches, etc, but the police, after
three weeks efforts, obtained no clue Mr..
Hodson then addressed himself to the de-
tecuye business, continuing unremittingly
until yesterday, and with great success.
During the week in which he was thus en-
gagged he occupied various rooms in the
city as Outlooks, watching the movements
of suspected parties also in disguise, Wis
tied many haunts frequented and occupied
by the class of men among whom
our supply of criminals are found.
In this manner exceedingly uncomfortable
situations were several times encountered
when, with only himself and personal de-
termination and dare, he was surrounded
by large number of the worst toughs in
secluded quarters, where invaluable in
formation was obtained, but which. when
his personality was disclosed, caused the
question to be debated, What shall we do
with him, and how shall we successfully
conceal the tracks that have been uncoY-
ered?"
The clues, however, which had been OBJ
tanned, with other information which these
aided in procuring, placed the self-appointed
detective into almost full possession
of the facts concerning the disposition
of the jewelry after the burglary,
and by having the trains and outlets
of the city closely Swallowed by personal
friends, and having everything in readiness
to arrest the entire posse upon circumstan-
tial proofs, disclosures were obtained, and.
while the parties under thick clouds came
forward and earnestly protested that they
knew uothingof the burglary, they asserted
a knowledge of the whereabouts of the
stolen property, and when required to do
so by Mr.. Hodson, and to avoid arrest
meantime, at once put up 5000 as forfeit in
case their statement proved false This hay
ing been done, and the place of deposit of
the stolen property having been given as in
Box 3,054, of the Safe Deposit Building,
corner of Montgomery and California
streets, San Francisco, it was arranged that
one of the parties should accompany
Mr.. HOdson yesterday morning to that
city on the 6 o'clock train TO
get the property. 1t may be remarked that
several OF the ight-fingered gentry who
had been under watchtul notice of the
young detective during his short experience
also took the same train and posted them
selves in positions for observing all that
was done until after the visit at the Safe
Deposit was made. Upon arriving at the
designated spot where the property was to
be found, the usual password was given TO
the clerk by the person who accompanied
Mr.. H.. and he was permitted TO unlock
Box 1904, where most of the jewelry,
watches, rings, etc, were found done up III
small packages in cotton rags and tightly
tied together The jewelry case, a few ar
ticles of jewelry and the valuable papers
were, however, missing, but hopes are still
entertained for their recovery.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hodson returned to Sacra-
mento last evening highly pleased with the
recovery thus far made. The success of
Mr. Hodson in the role of detective is
certainly noteworthy, and ii is to be hoped
the property missing Will be obtained.
The TIvoLI.-At the Tivoli last night the
well-wearing farce of Nan, the Good for
Nothing" was first playe, nd gave little
Idalene The best opportunity she has had to
do character acting. She acquitted herself
admirably, and proved that she has native
dramatic talent and great versatility. The
drama Nevada, or the Lost Mine, fol-
lowed, in which Mrs. Nellie Cotton had
difficult role, and accomplished her task
with success, proving herself q better stock
actress than generally supposed. Ben Cot
ton filed one Of the negro characters pc
culiar to him in his usual vein and was the
fun Of the play. Marsh, Belmour,
Marshal and Richardson were especially
well cast in the play, and their personality
was well concealed. On the whole, the bill
was one Of the most truly dramatic
though, of course of no lofty character
that the Tiyoli company has presented.
TIE CHIoo ExcURsIoN.-It is now certain
that 4 special train will carry the Uni
formed Patriarchs-and their wives and

to participate in the dedication OF the Odd
Fellows new hall at Chico, on Wednesday

grand ball in the evening in honor of the
event Many of our most prominent citi-
zens and families comprise the visiting

who participate. San Francisco, Vallejo,
and Oakland will probably contribute an
other extra or special train.
