qAFFY Versus TRUTH.

Taffy cannot compete with truth as
an advertising factor. Such old
gags" as tremendous Bargains"
''Prices Cut in Two" "Great Slaugh-
ter" Enormous Sacrifice" ETC., have
not one-tenth the effect of a straight
forward, manly statement, backed by
prices. All such declarations have
lost their effect when made without
price attachment. Honest descrip-
tons of what you have to sell, with
prices attached, implies honesty OF
purpose and IA bid for the confidence
OF customers. We give below a list
of a few Of our offerings this week.

SUPPOSED RoBBER CAUGHT.

Man Arrested at Placerville for the
Cary House Affair.
AZ gentleman who came down from
Placerville yesterday stated that man,
supposed to be the one who attempted to
rob William Watson, the proprietor of
the Cary House at that place, was arrested
there yesterday morning. He said also
that the fellow, whose name he did not
learn, stayed at the Cary House last
week, coming there in company with q
very pretty woman. They left several
days ago and took up their abode in a
bagnlo.
Suspicion having been excited, search
warrant was secured, and a search of his
trunk revealed a piece Of hose about a
foot long, which had been made into a
'bilIy" by filling each end with piece
of lead. His revolver also tailed in size
with the bullet which struck the safe
when Watson was fired at. The robber
was evidently acquainted with the house,
and had come IN the back way and
propped open all the doors through the
dining-room and Kitchen so as to facili
tate his escape.
He took long chances, as about dozen
men were playing cards at a couple of
tables in the cardroom, close by the
office. 1t is supposed he intended, after
robbing Watson, to make him go along
with him, under penalty of death if he
made any outcry, until he reached the
open air, where the darkness OF the night
would cover his escape.
