The foregoing figures will show how the debt has been increased to its present amount. The sum
owed by the county is in round numbers about one hundred and forty-five thousand dollars instead of one
hundred and fifty thousand as stated in a former article, but the latter figure will be more than reached
before the debt is lessened.
Camel Train.—Lieut. Beale came to San Diego with his train of camels not long since. The camels
were in fine condition. The “ship of the desert” stands the voyage well. The event is worthy of more
attention that it has received from newspapers—perhaps.
Theatrical_—Mr & Mrs. E. S. Conner appeared last evening at Frisbie’s Theatre, in the Comediatta
of Personation, or, Fairly Taken In, and Love’s Metamorphoses. The entertainment was varied with
readings from popular authors. We regret the early hour at which we went to press prevents us from
giving an account of the promising entertainment.
Book Sale.—Roman will be back to open another book sale on Friday, Saturday and Monday. He
has received [a] large and valauable addition to his stock.
BURGLARY.—The dwelling house of Stanton Buckner Esq. was opened on Tuesday night and a
watch and chain worth two hundred and fifty dollars, and fifty or sixty dollars in money taken. The
articles stolen were in a room adjoining the apartment in which the Judge and wife were sleeping. The
door connecting the two rooms was left open on retiring. It was found closed in the morning, and the front
door unfastened which was locked the evening before and the key left in. The burglars probably effected
their entrance by means of an instrument that turned the key. On leaving the thieves took the key with
them for other uses.
The lock to the door of Wm. Smith’s house in the same vicinity was picked the same night, but
being bolted on the inside an entrance was not effected. The bolts were put upon the doors but the day
previous.
Also on the same night and in the same neighborhood, C. F. Wood Esq. awoke hearing something
unusual. Shortly after he heard a window to his dining room shoving up. In attempting to find his pistol a
noise was made and the scamps left with no more than they brought. The key to the front door was found
pushed out and a window up in the morning.
Attempt to Rob a Stage.—As the Folsom stage was passing down Boston Ravine below Grass Valley
on Friday morning last, the driver observed two men coming from a house whose owner has a hard name,
and follow up the stage which was ascending a hill. Suspecting that all was not right, on arriving at the
top, the driver got down and examined the baggage when he found the straps cut and baggage in a fair
way to tumble off. The two thieves were patiently waiting at the bottom of the hill for the baggage to be
deposited for their benefit. The driver, after tying up things, made his team “get up and get” out of that
place.
