THE GUN TURNS UP.
A Stolen Fowling-Piece Found by
Officer Fisher.

About six weeks ago shotgun be-
longing to S. H. Flint Of this city was
stolen from Flint & Raymond's ranch,
near Live Oak, in the southeastern part
of the county. A description of the gun
was given to the police, and several
days ago officer Fisher found it at Eek
hardt's gun store, where it had been
brought for repairs.
Yesterday Grant Griggs called for the
gun, and was referred to the Chief of
Police. He Immediately went to the
station, and said he, with his sixteen
year-old brother, Arthur, had taken the
gun to Eckhardt's to have it repaired
He knew nothing about the gun, his
brother having brought it in from the
country. He told him he had worked
for a rancher on the Costumes River
and took the gun in payment of his SER
vices.
Young Griggs is now at his home at
Shingle Springs, Ell Dorado County,
and whether or not he will be brought
back depends on the view the District
Attorney may take of the matter after
the facts are laid before him.

KILLED. AND THEN ROBBED.
A CHINESE STOREKEEPER AT
AUBURN SLAIN.
Several Thousand Dollars in Gold
Dust Taken by the
Murderers.

Meager accounts were received at
local police headquarters yesterday Of
the robbery and murder of rich Chi
nese shopkeeper at Auburn on Friday
night.
The murdered man acted as banker
for the Chinese of the town and vicin-
ity, and was known to have had sew
eral thousand dollars in coin and gold
dust when he closed his place of busi-
ness at night
The money, which was all taken,
was evidently the incentive for the
commission of the murder. The body
was badly mutilated, and the murder is
believed to have been the work of Chi
neSe.

DESERVES THE PLACE.
County Detective Fisher Should be
Reinstated.

The Supervisors will meet tomorrow
in regular session, and one Of the first
things they should do is to reinstate
County Detective Max P. Fisher, who
was SO surnmarily discharged last
month without apparent cause.
The reason given at that time was
that Fisher had not. been employed to
follow escaped prisoners, nor to run
down criminals, but to assist the Dis
trict Attorneys office. Tt was ex-
planned by the District Attorney how
ever, that it was while following up
criminals that the detective obtained
so much valuable evidence to be used
at trials. 1t was also explained that it
cost the county no more for the de-
tective's- travelling expenses than for
any other deputy whom the Sheriff
might send out of the county, and that
SO far as concerned his trip to Arizona
for an escaped prisoner, it cost the
county nothing, as Fisher was sent by
the Governor as the States agent
The Supervisors all admitted that
Detective Fisher was a very capable
officer, and declared that they had no
feeling against him. They claimed,
however, tLdl 1I was the uuly Oh Otner
officials to do the work assigned to
him.
On the other hand, the Judges of all
the Superior Court departments de-
clare that Detective Fishers clever
ness and interchangeable industry have
saved the county a great deal of money,
in that many criminals had pleaded
guilty without going to trial. so COM
pletely had he woven about them
chains of testimony that could not 9TH
erwise have been obtained by the pros
ecution
If there were good reasons for De-
tective Fishers employment in the first
place, they still exist
