ceal himself in the rear of B. Alexander's

great danger of their being drowned.
Homer Todhunter and Chas. Thiele were

a boat from the Yolo side of the river sue
ceeded in picking up all three of the ship
wrecked mariners.
The supposed stage-robber, who sold
large quantity of gold to John Norton
few days ago, has got himself out of the
way so successfully that the police and de-
tectives have not thesslightest clue as to his
whereabouts. Wells, Fargo & Co., claim
ing that the gold belonged to them, and
that it was portion of a bar stolen when
the Oroyille and Quincy stage was recently
stopped and robbed have brought suit to
repleVin it, which suit Norton will of
course oppose.

naman named All Own was endeayoring
to sell in the southeastern portion of the

Own purloined it. The coat and vest which
the Celestial was found to have concealed

The firm of Lyon & Curtis, prominent
commission and produce merchants, closed
their doors yesterday, having made an as
signment to H. P Martin. of the Pioneer
Box Factory. The liabilities are reported
to be in the neighborhood of $4,000, while |
the assets form a much smaller amount
but Just what the sums are is not fully
known. The firm came to disaster mainly,
it is said. in consequence of unfortunate
ventures in Eastern shipments last season,
and the failure of parties indebted to them.
On warrant sworn out by acting Chief
of Police Farren, officer Farrell yesterday
arrested Mrs. Falke-the woman recently

charge against her is misdemeanor-
cruelty to children. She gave bond imme-
diately after arrest, and the case will come
up for hearing this morning. Her friends
say that if she has treated the boy harshly
it has been because of her excitability, |
growing out of her using morphine in con-
siderable quantity at times to quiet pain.
