For some time no clue whatever, cotild be obtained to the perpetrators, but at last it was suspicioned that,theanimals taken were run over into the State of Nevada, either by the way of the Henness . ; Pass road, or through ee Valley. THE FIRST CLUE. In 1864, a large sorrel horse, belonging to R. C.

The city was yesterday visited by a very large number oi.Jawyers. This was owing to the fact that the first “day of the session of the District Court commenced yesterday. A Good Appointmént, -.Hon.E.G. Waite, formorly a. renie4. dent of Nevada city, and a represen: tative of the county in the State Senate, but who has for some years past __resided in Sah Francisco and Sacramento, has been appointed to. the Naval Office in San Francisco. Mr. Waite has teen for many years connécted with the press of this State, and is one of the old guard of the ‘Republican party, abd has done ex‘eellent service in its behalf, in. victory as well as defeat, He is honest, efficient, and worthy of donfidence, and his cid friends and neighbors of hevada county, of both parties, (and he has many)’ will rejoice that’ he bus been appoiated to tie position. . years ago, was seen inthe immediate. vicinity of the barn from: which-the horse was taken late at-night. This man and horse disappeared together, but at that time no sufficient evidence could be obtained. John Brown, who had moved away: from Moore’s Flat over into Nevada, and taken with him a woman by the name of McNulty, was now ‘looked upon as a kind of Joaquin Mauriettain that region of country, and generally suspicioned for all deviltry done. HUW HE TRAVELED, = He frequently came to this county, and usually camped in the brush. In one of his deserted: camps near Cherokee, was once found-a bottle of Japanese hair dye and some other articles, He was pointedwout by one man to another, as O’Neil. the rob-. ber, and when he was known to be in the neighborhood, there was a general suspicion that sumebody would lose a horse or two. FURTHER DISCOVERIES, On the 19th day of November last three horses were stolen from Wodell’s barn, about three miles from San Juan on the road to this city. A step-son of Mr, Black, saw O'Neil, alias Brown, on the 14th, and Mr. French met a man he supposed to be him, a half mile from the barn at dusk, in the woods. T. ©. Bourne obtained some information about the matter from Mr. Black,. aid wrote a letter to a brother of his,~W. A. Bourne, describing the horses, The latter knew the uame of the colored mare which was on the farm when he left home in this county. TH MARE FOUND. W._A. Bourne, having ascertained . something about the whereabouts of Brown, went to Douglas Springs, Douglas county, and when there met Brown riding the mare, and having one of the others, Wodell’s mare, stolen atthe same time, in his possession. A warrant was sworn out, John Brown was arrested, and the ‘Sheriff of Douglass county telegraphed to-this city to the officers. BROWN BROUGHT OVER. District Attorney Deal immediately made complaint, procured requisition from Governor. Bovth, and Sheriff Perrin went tu Nevada State and brought Brown over. He was held to answer fur grand larceny. ~ BROWN. RECOGNIZED, “hose who had seen ‘the man “pre . viously found a difficulty in identifying him. . Fitzsim. mons, who, with his son, was gagged at the time their house was robbed, ‘recognized him positively as a man who visited the house two days. before, enquiring for horses. Mr. French recogniged him asthe man whom he met the night the horses were stolen, and sapposed him to be Q’Neil; but he supposed O'Neil was darker complected, looked taller,and had fuller side whiskers, Whea he met him he had his whiskers cut off. Mr. Mills recognized him positively, and had known him well for eight years, . HIS RaNoM, Browa’s ranch is located in an out of the Way place, on Walker River, and some twenty head of horses and a number of cattle were found upon the ranch, Amdng the horses was the mare stolen from Bourne, Black’s. horse, Wodell's mare, and a ‘horse stolen from Cashin & Kent. The latter was stolen from Bear Valley. HIS HOUSE“-HIS WIFE AND SON ARMr, Black, on heating his horse was at Brown's, visited the place. He examined the premises aud found in one room thirteen shot guns, five or six in another, and any number of saddles. These articles Mrs. Brown said her husband brought howe after . being pressed acknowledged it was . prontise, and Mr. Black got out a L-whole-season-and-at-the-end--feund. nothing of him for six or seven years ‘honest mana sufficient endorse. ais various raids.

She did not keep her wartant and had her and her son ar rested for concealing stolen property. The horse was then obtained, and the woman and her son were held to answer before the grand jury of Douglas county upon the charge. ~~} BROWN_AT HOME. Brown has been for some years a terror to the people of Douglas counity and vicinity. _He has been in the butchering business and had a way. of making all the hides-into lariettes . 80 that they could not-be identified.

In May 1864 he was convicted of grand larceny in Sacramento City, upon the chargé of stealing $3,000 from Jeremiah Gould, and sentenced tothe State Prison for five years. He was comwitted to prison on the 6th of May, 1854, and escaped on the 28th of September of the same year, and has been at large, so far as we ate-able to ascertain since, We understand that from the time he was committed his friends knew and supposed, until since his last arrest, that he served out his full term? > Local Brevities. .
