The Grass Valley Union says: Lad® Saturday a miner named J ohn Johns’ working in the Eureka mine, was detected by the watchman in the ‘‘dry house” in the act of carrying off a specimen. Johns attempted to take away the specimen in his. hand. but was observed in the aetby Frank Chenet. Special Officer Snow was informed.of the affair and Johns was arrested: ky Soow. A complaint for petty larceny was made before P.H, Paynter, Esq,,.J. P., and. Johns was brought before the magistrate. Johns plead guilty’ to the complaint for petty larceny. He was held for sentence in the sum of $200, and was to have appeared yesterday at 10 o’clock A.M. He deposited $200 in coin in‘stead of giving a bond. At the hour named Johns did not make his appearance, but he forfeited the money he had deposited, and Has gone where the woodbine twineth. The punishment for stealing a specimen, worth three or. four dollars, is thus made pretty severe on the defendant in the case. It is understood. pretty well that specimen stealing is now a fel" ony, under the laws of California,and that a stealer of specimens can be sent.to the penitentiary. Prosecutions will be liereafter, it is hoped and believed, prosecuted under the statute which makes such stealing a felony. Johns got off very cheaply, inthis last case. ‘Tax Posran Teukonara Bus.

Some of our readers < will} remember that the ‘Overland, stage was robbed in Six-mile Canyon . some five years ago. The stage was driven by Baldy Green and the treasure box } and three bars of. bullion were taken and the passengers were roWbed/] The stage was stopped in thé day. time. Afterwards one cf the bars of bullion was recovered, and. arrests were made of-the Yobbers, but they were not convictéd owing to'@ want of evidence, ‘The robvers ‘were Davis, Squires and Cockerill, who are now serving ‘out, terms in the State Prison for robbing the Central Paeific ilroad cats in ‘Washoe county. The statement 'of Wright and Cocking is substitially .as fol-' lows: They went out bunting on the old Overland road, and, on stopping at the Twelve-mile House, they built a fire in the yard of chips which they gathered there, On the fire burning ‘dewn they discovered the silver bricks onder the embers and brought them to this city, each taking one,. We understand that they made some effort towards disposing of them, and in this way, we believe, the Chief of Folice became aware that they were in pos-. session of them. Kelly first arrested Cocking aud locked him wp in the Station-house. He told him that he had arrested: Wright and locked him up in the County Jail, and that he had confessed’ the whole affair, and given up his brick, and that he (Cocking). might as well do likewise. Kelly interviewed Cocking several times, and finally, after beingylocked up about four hours, he told Kelly that he would show him where-his brick. was secreted. Accordingly,» they'went up Svtton avenue to near . . Mount Davidson, and in a: private house Cocking,pointed out aboard in the floor underwhich the barof bullion was secreted. The board was raised, and the bar found in a gunny sack. Taking this to the station house, the Chief went out and arrested J. Wright, who drives an express wagon . in this city,.and locked him up. He +hen procured a search: warrant and went through Wright’s house twice, without finding any bullion, But the second silver brick was all the while lying by the side of the stove in Wright's. house, covered with wood.“Knowing this, the McKay brothers,. livery stable keepers, friends of Wright,,went to his hcuse and took the brick away, giving notice that they would deliver it up to whomsover was declared to be the rightful owner. We saw the brick which had been im the possession of Cocking. It had been hacked sor e‘what, and bore no assayer’s mark. It is supposed to have been Austin bullion. It had been lately eut across the middle, . evidently with a cold chisel, and showed a yellowish colos, as if it contaimed gold or copper. The value of the two--bars, if they are the ones stolen from the Overland.stage,.is something over $3,400, Wright was admitted to ‘bail in the sum of $3,000 last night, and Cooleing still remains in custody.

At the hour named Johns did not make his appearance, but he forfeited the money he had deposited, and Has gone where the woodbine twineth. The punishment for stealing a specimen, worth three or. four dollars, is thus made pretty severe on the defendant in the case. It is understood. pretty well that specimen stealing is now a fel" ony, under the laws of California,and that a stealer of specimens can be sent.to the penitentiary. Prosecutions will be liereafter, it is hoped and believed, prosecuted under the statute which makes such stealing a felony. Johns got off very cheaply, inthis last case. ‘Tax Posran Teukonara Bus.

Wright of that city and homes Cocking of Gold Hill—on acharge of havingin their possession . two Wars of bullion belonging. to well, Fargo & ©o., and recovered one-pot the bars im ‘the possession of \Codking, and: succeeded 1 in discovering the . other, inv ‘the possession. of Wright. Some of our readers < will} remember that the ‘Overland, stage was robbed in Six-mile Canyon . some five years ago. The stage was driven by Baldy Green and the treasure box } and three bars of. bullion were taken and the passengers were roWbed/] The stage was stopped in thé day. time. Afterwards one cf the bars of bullion was recovered, and. arrests were made of-the Yobbers, but they were not convictéd owing to'@ want of evidence, ‘The robvers ‘were Davis, Squires and Cockerill, who are now serving ‘out, terms in the State Prison for robbing the Central Paeific ilroad cats in ‘Washoe county. The statement 'of Wright and Cocking is substitially .as fol-' lows: They went out bunting on the old Overland road, and, on stopping at the Twelve-mile House, they built a fire in the yard of chips which they gathered there, On the fire burning ‘dewn they discovered the silver bricks onder the embers and brought them to this city, each taking one,. We understand that they made some effort towards disposing of them, and in this way, we believe, the Chief of Folice became aware that they were in pos-. session of them. Kelly first arrested Cocking aud locked him wp in the Station-house. He told him that he had arrested: Wright and locked him up in the County Jail, and that he had confessed’ the whole affair, and given up his brick, and that he (Cocking). might as well do likewise. Kelly interviewed Cocking several times, and finally, after beingylocked up about four hours, he told Kelly that he would show him where-his brick. was secreted. Accordingly,» they'went up Svtton avenue to near . . Mount Davidson, and in a: private house Cocking,pointed out aboard in the floor underwhich the barof bullion was secreted. The board was raised, and the bar found in a gunny sack. Taking this to the station house, the Chief went out and arrested J. Wright, who drives an express wagon . in this city,.and locked him up. He +hen procured a search: warrant and went through Wright’s house twice, without finding any bullion, But the second silver brick was all the while lying by the side of the stove in Wright's. house, covered with wood.“Knowing this, the McKay brothers,. livery stable keepers, friends of Wright,,went to his hcuse and took the brick away, giving notice that they would deliver it up to whomsover was declared to be the rightful owner. We saw the brick which had been im the possession of Cocking. It had been hacked sor e‘what, and bore no assayer’s mark. It is supposed to have been Austin bullion. It had been lately eut across the middle, . evidently with a cold chisel, and showed a yellowish colos, as if it contaimed gold or copper. The value of the two--bars, if they are the ones stolen from the Overland.stage,.is something over $3,400, Wright was admitted to ‘bail in the sum of $3,000 last night, and Cooleing still remains in custody.
