from the vicinity of Williams, arrived in
Arbuckle Yesterday morning with eight
LUIS anu ttBltfl tIlElt shipped liltlie-
diately to San Francisco. Before he had
completed his arrangements officers ar
rived and arrested him ON charge Of hay
ing stolen the horses. and afterwards burn
ing the barn OF Mr. Potts near Williams,
burning eight Or nine other tine animals,
together with = large quantity OF barley and
other grain and hay. Parker had lived
about Williams several years. working as a
farm hand. Two weeks ago he said he
was going to Oregon, and has kept out of
the way since then. The place was burned
ABOUT O'Clock at night. There were six
teen very fine horses therein. Parker led
out eight tied them to a fence, and then
burned the barn, believing that it would
be thought that all persisted. The tracks
OF the horses and Il halter left tied to the
fence showed this. The news was sent
rapidly around through the country, and
resulted III the arrest hc.e. The prisoner
was taken to Williams and placed in hall
guarded by two officers. a large number
of farmers were at Williams and were ready
10 lynch the fellow, and there was every
prospect that they would do so but he
claimed that he had a partner who was to
arrive to-day Thus the matter was tided
over. and tragedy averted, as the people
thought it best to catch the other man: but
the story is not given much credence. The
whole scheme was Il huugling one Had
the horses been ran over to the mountains
OF Lake county they might not easily have
been found
