THE RIGHT MEN.
Marshal Nichols made very clever
capture when he landed the two young
staEs ip jail Yesterday on 81 saspiei9 gus, Of
ty for burglary. The culprits proved to
be the right parties, and from later dis
coveries are young criminals OF consid-
cradle experience in the wicked WAYS of
the world.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Nichols, in
company with Charles Preble, decided
to go down by the depots and see if he
could find anything that would assist in
proving the guilt of the men, and the
trip proved successful. In an old barn
in the rear of McFadden's planning mill
the officers found quite little stock of
goods tied up in fine silk handkerchiefs
and stocking. Upon opening the
packages pair of spectacles, three
watch charms, case of scissors, gold
ring, three silk handkerchiefs, nine cuff
buttons, eight pocket knives, three
razors, one silver pencil holder, Smith
d Wesson revolver and several other
articles were found. There were also
two elegant gold pins on which were in
scrlbed the names "Nettie' and
"Hattie."
The young men are very reticent, but
say their names are Fred and Charles
Mcguire, and their ages 81 and 23 years.
They claim to have come to this state
from Minnesota but recently. Consts-
BILE Snodgrass of Ventura came over to-
night and will take the men to that city
tomorrow.
