street, between Post and Sutter, was robbed
tonight about o'clock. Tho robbery was
a particularly daring ene. 1he street was
crowded with people, when a boy slipped
up to the open doors OF the pawnshop, and

the window and seized tray of diamonds.

man, bolder than the rest, seived the rob-
ser from behind. With an oath, the rob-
Der commanded him to let go, at the same
time firing his pistol. The shot did not
take effect, but it scared the captor, and he
released his hold. The robber darted to an
alley near by. and mounting horse was
soon out Of sight. The boy also escaped.
In his haste the robber dropped some Of the
diamonds and the tray, bat got of with
most of the jewels.
