Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1885-12-18


Chinese peddler returns from his dav'.
labor to his den in Chinatown, the coatent,
OF his baskets are dumped into China
slough, where they remain over night and
are taken out in the morning, thoroughly
freshened, and carted over the same route
as the day before. This is done each day
and nothing they have to barter is ever al.
lowed to get too old or stale to sell. If the
general public was aware of the fact that
decayed vegetables were more deleterious
to the health than tainted meats, fewer
would patronize the Monaghan vegetable
peddlers.

ARRESTED FOR GRAND LARcENY.-Con-
stable Carroll, of Stockton, and detective
Brissell, of Sacramento, arrested near Fol-
som yesterday afternoon a man named
Charles Brooks, who is charged with grand
larceny. He hired a horse at Stockton
about week ago, and sold the animal at
Lodi. The latter fact becoming known at
Stockton, a warrant for his arrest was OBJ
tanned, and Carroll started out after him.
He was known to have been in Sacramento
last Sunday, but there his trail was lost
and Carroll and Brissell have been hunting
him up ever since. They finally ascertained
that he had hired out on ranch a short
distance from Folsom, and when they came
upon him yesterday he was caring for a
sick horse. Brooks formerly lived in Sacra-
mento. There appears to be a strong case
against him, as the stolen horse has been
recovered, and he is known to have been
the person who sold him.

dent of the Northern California Immigra-
