BOLD ROBBERY.—The clothing store of H. Levy, under the TRANscrRIPT office was robbed
on Wednesday night of a large number of pants, coats, boots and $195 in coin. The following are the
particulars as far as we are able to gather them: Mr. Levy and brother who were sleeping in the back part
of their store, were aroused by a noise, whereupon they lit a candle and discovered that the back door of
the store had been opened. After closing the door they went to sleep and did not wake until seven o’clock
yesterday morning. Upon opening the store they discovered that a large amount of goods had been taken.
The robbers entered by the back door and passed directly by the bed in which the Levy’s [sic] were
sleeping. The trunk from which the money was taken was within three feet of the bed. It seems somewhat
singular that the proprietor of the store did not watch after having discovered that the door had been
forced open once. The Marshal found 31 pairs of pants, 8 hats and 12 pairs of boots hid under houses on
China street. No further trace has yet been found of the robbers.
SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 1863
The Marysville Appeal says the Senatorial caucus was in session an hour and a half, on Thursday
evening, 101 being present—Howell, of Plumas, having returned, who voted for Sargent. Seven votes
were taken, without material difference from Wednesday night. The last vote stood—Phelps 37, Sargent
34, Conness 22, Brown 5, Shafter 1. On the second vote, Sargent tied Phelps at 35.
BIRTH. In this city, on the 15th inst., to the wife of Solomon Rosenthal, a daughter.
ALMOST CAPTURED.—Marshall [sic] Davidson and Under Sheriff Potter were at the Theatre on
Thursday night, enjoying hugely the entertainment of Profs. Valentine and Bushell, when a messenger
arrived almost out of breath and informed these conservators of the peace that Burke, the notorious
murderer and escaped convict, was held in “durance vile” at the Hotel de Paris by a number of citizens.
The officers, anxious to secure the bird, hastened to the hotel. They found a number of persons around
the place with shooting irons bearing on the house. The besiegers had Burke sure. Marshall Davidson
entered the hotel and found it occupied by Chauval [sic], the cook and a Frenchman, who was sitting in
a chair near the stove, reading the Echo du Pacifique, totally unconscious of the fact that he had been the
cause of so much excitement in town. The Marshall left the scene wondering by what kind of process the
imagination could picture Burke in the man before him.
COMMITTED.—Timothy Ryan was committed to the County jail yesterday, upon the charge of
assault with an attempt to commit murder. He was sent up by a justice at Grass Valley. The case will come
up before the next Grand Jury.
