John NJ. Brown, of Washington, D. C.
E. y. Jacobs has been arrested on charge
OF embezzlement, preferred by 3. Muir, for
whom he was recently acting as travelling
salesman during which time he claimed to
have been robbed one night, between lone
and Buena Vista, of $50 by highwaymen.
The enlightenment is alleged to have con-
sisted IN purchasing some barrels in Muirs
name, afterwards selling them and retain
ing the money received.
Some Of the friends of John Ivanovich,
who was found dead last Sunday on the
Golo side of the river, under circumstances
indicating suicide, have expressed the
opinion that he had been robbed of his
money and jewelry. When the body was
found there was on the person watch,
ring, odd Fellows pin, about So in coin,
etc, which were taken in charge by Justice
Scully, acting Coroner. There could scarcely
have been robbery, therefore.
In Department One of the Superior Court
yesterday Paul Mcqueen, who recently
stole purse from John Metcalf at Florin,
while the latter was intoxicated, and was
held to answer for robbery, was allowed to
plead guilty of grand larceny. He waived
time, was sentenced to two years in the
State Prison at Folsom, and Deputy Sheriff
McComber took him to that institution last
evening. All that he got by the theft, so
far as shown i'll Court, was fifty cents.
About I o'clock yesterday afternoon a
man named John Thompson discharged
revolver, accidentally or Intentionally, at
Theodore Labhard's saloon, Seventh and J
streets. Local officer Gomez endeavored to
arrest him to inquire into the matter, when
he broke and ran. The officer pursued him
through streets and alleys, and, presently
being reinforced by Deputy Constable
Martin, who was fresh, the fugitive was
captured and conveyed to the station-house,
where charge of carrying concealed
weapons was entered against him.
The Cinnamon who recently purchased
the fish in China slough are en-
gagged in gathering their property. Two of
them, fishing in boat by means of q cast
net, attracted some attention yesterday.
ApihC OAlC3 hSltS4llAi1 tiiCilif ollitCu Il ulo-
cussion by claiming that nets of this kind
were referred to IN the New Testament,
and there resulted rather amusing search
in their memories for Biblical points and
authorities among those who did the dis
cussing. Almost any of them were better
posted upon trotting, running, sprinting or
baseball records, though some had been
known to tell pretty good fish stories.
The residence of Mr. Thomson, at No
1915 E street, was entered by a thief
through window Monday night and
ransacked, but it does not appear that any
thing was stolen. The burglar took pair
of pants from a bedroom into the hall TO
examine them at his leisure, but they did
not contain anything valuable. 1t is
thought that the rascal was alarmed by
some noise and took his departure before
he had made up his mind whether there
was anything at hand that he wanted. The
unwelcome visit may serve as a hint to
citizens to look after their premises care
fully just now, while there are so many
bad characters in town.
