HE STOLE CRoss.-One would suppose
that the last thing in the world a thief
would covet would be a gravestone. Sac
ramento can, however, boast of thief who
has no computations of conscience or
scruples in that direction, for theft of that
kind was committed at Israel Luce's mar
bic works, j street, on the night of We'd
neSday. In the front portion of the marble
works is a room fenced from the street by
slight railing, in which are deposited
statuary, monuments and various styles OF
gravestoneS. Among the lot was a beauti-
full Italian monument, on the top of which
was, morticed in, beautiful cross of ex-
quisite workmanship. The thief clambered
over the fence, pulled the cross off break
ing the mortice in the monument in so do
ingA.nd departed with his plumber. Mr..
Luce has an idea who committed the theft,
and has put an officer on his track. A
gentleman who was talking with Mr.. Luce
regarding the matter said he recollected a
similar theft having been committed in the
City Cemetery some seven years ago. In
that case dove was stolen from the top of
an elegant and costly monument, but sew
eral days afterwards was mysteriously re-
turned. Mr.. Luce says he knew all about
the circumstances, which were as follows
One of my wOrkmen used TO make doves
and small figures at home evenings, and
would receive therefor pay for over time.
One day he came 10 me intoxicated, and
offered to sell a dove. | noticed that it was
not new work, and also that it had beer
stained from lying on the grass. l at once
made up my mind that he had stolen it.
accused him of so doing, and advised him
he did so that night, rs the next day
heard that it had been returned. Poel
fellow, he is dead now"
