The robber was lying with his cent money. ing, McGrath returned to town and brought the sad. news, which spread rapidly. Great excitement prevailed arid universal regret was expressed at the killing of . Sheriff Douglass. Many persons hurried out to the scene of the . tragedy on foot, on horseback and in buggies. Amongthose who went out was Robert Latta, the liveryman, who was held up about two weeks ago. on the San Juan road. He idedtified the stranger as being the man who stopped his buggy. The undertaker’s wagon was sent out for:the dead Sheriff and another Both bodies : arrived here about. noon and were taken to the undertaking parlors on Broad street. Intelligence of the terrible affair had been telephoned to Grass Valley, and Coroner Hocking was here ready arrange for holding inquests. be There is no doubt about the dead stranger being the party, or one of the parties who have of late been committing highway robberies at different. man who has been furnished food at several houses in this vicinity. Saturday he got something-to eat at Mrs. Millhone’s, in this city, and yesterday had dinner at Mrs. Storey’s on Or chard street. He is the man the officers were so close upon Saturday afternoon near Cement Hill. Friday or Saturay he called at the winery on American Hill and asked for something to eat. He made two or three calls at houses on Wet Hill, and usually asked the folks to put him upa lunch, after he had already eaten; giving as an excuse for this extra request that he had alongtrip before kim. It would appear from this that he hada partner somewhere and was procuring food for him. He is evidently’ the same man who: held. up Wm. Berry, the miner, Saturday night. The stranger has been seen at Wet Hill and that vicinity several times of late. A day or+two before the hold-ups on the San Juan road he was at Richards’ brick yard on Cement Hill, about two miles fromi town and about the same distance from the scene of the: robbery. Nothing more was seen of him until last Saturday, when he was noticed passing through the diggings above mentioned by a man who worked for a while in the brick yard and was there at the time the stranger was hanging around. The robbery on the San Juan road so soon afterwards and the description of the robber fitting the stranger so closely, caused him to remember distinctly how the man looked, and when he saw him again and the fellow turned from the trail and went off through the brush, he was more suspicious than ever, and hastened to town to inform the officers concerning the man. Saturday afternoon some time the same man appeared again at the brick yard, but did not stop. He passed along the. trail-and was seen by the men in the yard. An hour or so later the Sheriff and his informant came, to the brick yard, having trailed the suspect that far. They followed him a short distance froin there and then lost: track of him. The discovery that led to Sheriff Douglass locating the whereabouts. of the criminals was made by Miss Della Wells. ‘She was out gathering pods and grasses Saturday and saw tracks in the neighborhood of the spring. She went home and notified her father, brought to.town he has been identified by numerous persons who have seen him here within the past two or three weeks. eas ; _t-has also transpired that the rifle found with him was stolen from Grant Dart, who lives near Pleasant Valley, & short time ago. A shotgun was same day. Dr. Tickell, who made ‘the post mortem examination, says the men had been dead about 15 hours. M. L, Marsh recognized the dead robber as C. Meyers, who went to work at their sawmill on the 25th of-lastMay. A mar employed at Hennessey’s livery stable also identified the man @8 a person he saw at Marysville some . under his head and his arms extended . time ago, and who told him he intended to goto Nevada City.

The robber was lying with his cent money. ing, McGrath returned to town and brought the sad. news, which spread rapidly. Great excitement prevailed arid universal regret was expressed at the killing of . Sheriff Douglass. Many persons hurried out to the scene of the . tragedy on foot, on horseback and in buggies. Amongthose who went out was Robert Latta, the liveryman, who was held up about two weeks ago. on the San Juan road. He idedtified the stranger as being the man who stopped his buggy. The undertaker’s wagon was sent out for:the dead Sheriff and another Both bodies : arrived here about. noon and were taken to the undertaking parlors on Broad street. Intelligence of the terrible affair had been telephoned to Grass Valley, and Coroner Hocking was here ready arrange for holding inquests. be There is no doubt about the dead stranger being the party, or one of the parties who have of late been committing highway robberies at different. man who has been furnished food at several houses in this vicinity. Saturday he got something-to eat at Mrs. Millhone’s, in this city, and yesterday had dinner at Mrs. Storey’s on Or chard street. He is the man the officers were so close upon Saturday afternoon near Cement Hill. Friday or Saturay he called at the winery on American Hill and asked for something to eat. He made two or three calls at houses on Wet Hill, and usually asked the folks to put him upa lunch, after he had already eaten; giving as an excuse for this extra request that he had alongtrip before kim. It would appear from this that he hada partner somewhere and was procuring food for him. He is evidently’ the same man who: held. up Wm. Berry, the miner, Saturday night. The stranger has been seen at Wet Hill and that vicinity several times of late. A day or+two before the hold-ups on the San Juan road he was at Richards’ brick yard on Cement Hill, about two miles fromi town and about the same distance from the scene of the: robbery. Nothing more was seen of him until last Saturday, when he was noticed passing through the diggings above mentioned by a man who worked for a while in the brick yard and was there at the time the stranger was hanging around. The robbery on the San Juan road so soon afterwards and the description of the robber fitting the stranger so closely, caused him to remember distinctly how the man looked, and when he saw him again and the fellow turned from the trail and went off through the brush, he was more suspicious than ever, and hastened to town to inform the officers concerning the man. Saturday afternoon some time the same man appeared again at the brick yard, but did not stop. He passed along the. trail-and was seen by the men in the yard. An hour or so later the Sheriff and his informant came, to the brick yard, having trailed the suspect that far. They followed him a short distance froin there and then lost: track of him. The discovery that led to Sheriff Douglass locating the whereabouts. of the criminals was made by Miss Della Wells. ‘She was out gathering pods and grasses Saturday and saw tracks in the neighborhood of the spring. She went home and notified her father, brought to.town he has been identified by numerous persons who have seen him here within the past two or three weeks. eas ; _t-has also transpired that the rifle found with him was stolen from Grant Dart, who lives near Pleasant Valley, & short time ago. A shotgun was same day. Dr. Tickell, who made ‘the post mortem examination, says the men had been dead about 15 hours. M. L, Marsh recognized the dead robber as C. Meyers, who went to work at their sawmill on the 25th of-lastMay.
