Clark Is the Loser of a Watoh and Some Money. About midnight A. P. Clark of Quaker Hill was the victim of a clever robber. Mr. Clark was in bed and asleep at his hotel when he was relieved of a silver watch and forty-five dollars in money. The robbery occurred between the hours of: ten o’clock p. m. and midnight as Mr. Clatk was awake at these intervals. The only occupants of the place beside Mr. Clark at the time of the robbery were Mrs. Wilcoxen who is employed asa cook at the hotel and Chas. Sweet, the teamster and neither of these heard anything of the robber’s entrance nor exit. The first Mr. Clark knew of his loss ‘was when at one o’clock he. awoke*and reached for his watch, which he had laid on the stand at the head of his bed, and found it was gone. He next discovered that his pants were also missing. The latter were found afterwards in another room, but forty-five dollars in money had been extracted from the pockets before the robbers departure, and others began an _ investigation and search and the thief was tracked to within a mile and half of this city where all further clue was lost because ofthe many wagons and horses that had already gone. over the road. Mr. Clark proceeded on to this city where he reported his loss at the Shériff’s office and the officers are on the lookout for the robber and the stolen plunder. ~ A “Queer’’ Case. . As this morning’s incoming train was nearing Buena Vista Conductor Loughridge noticed a man off in the brush who appeared to be acting strangely. Mr Loughridge stopped his train and motioning to the man prevailed on getting him aboard. ‘The wanderer asked if his train would take him to Olarksville, and upon being answered affirmatively by the conductor got on and came to this place where Officer Neagie was awaiting him at the depot, Mr. Loughridge having telephoned from Grass Valley that he thought he had a crazy man on board, The man gives his name as Robert Ryland and says he is a carpenter contractor and that he was working with a gang of men on the railroad. He is certainly demented, but whether from the effect of a recent debouch or from other causes that cannot at present be ascertained. His stories of his adventures are very conflicting and the officers are unable to properly diagnose his case as yet, He refers toa Mr. Taylor as proprietor of the hotel at Clarksville and in the next breath has this gentleman located in the same business at Sacramento, .He intimates that he will befinanciaily ruined unless he is given his freédom today as he has a contract that if he fails in its fulfillment he must forfeit $500. The officers will await further developments before determining what can be done for him, EN Oe A ro ae Way doesn’t some one write a society novel and leave the French clock off the mantle !—Chicago News.
