Jones cautihl a fellow ini the act of going through his pantry. Tne fellow was too quick for riainps. and made good bis escape. Iu this connection we learn that several of our citlaeua have plwced sticks of wood iu their wood plies, aud the chances are very strong thatoueof the thief's neighborhood will be aroused by a loud report some morning and the thief discovered. . .

I'r. jlntontlvn T R Wll m - m, ea w v vvwwa v wi - i proceeded toOaklsud to arrest Tlios Paul, a school teacher at that place Charged with singly and alone of rob biictha stage near Ukiah, October llib, on which were the driver aud four uassenirers. Arrived there, he urot-eeded to the school house, and waa met at the door by Paul's sister, who Informed the sheriff that Paul had left for parts unknown several days before. The sheriff immeaiately surmised that Paul had heard of Hume's f pproach through letters irobabry sent from Ukiah. and that be waa endeavoring to make hi cunrf. He at luw teletrranhud to the various railroad stations north of Oakland to keep a look out for the man, and then he returned home. Friday afternoon a letter was received from Dick Sieptiensou, dated at Myr tle Creek, in wuicu it was staled that a man had passed through that place an swering Paul's description, aud that he had purchased a Dairof boot of Simou Sell. lHinv tmhiml . .-i, but little worn, ctage driver Luse was questioned, aud he reported that Ed. Weaver bad bited a mau whom he thought to be the same person. But- pheuaon,. bad continued ou tbe man's tiack, and when tbe stage was going out past jbd. Weaver's place, Ste pbeuson.who was on board, jumped off, a id caugLt Paul, aud took him to i au youviile, from whence he telegraphed the slioritT the inteiigeuce of Paul's capture. Sheriff Hogau the same uigbt started out to aid Stepbensou iu bringing the mau into Roseburg, aud met Stephenson and another mau uear Mat. Ruckles; but no prisoner. Paul had escaped. When he was put on tne uorse at Canyouville he claim ed to be crippled with rheumatism, auu two tneu Had to lifthini into tbe aaddle, he appeared so sore and stif fened. Every thing went a;otig quietly until uearly dark The other narl v waa leading the horse which Paul waa riding, aud Stepheusou was following in iue rear, ah at once 1'aul sprang uii the horse, and over a fence near by, and though followed by Stephenson as fast as bis horse could run. soon jumped a second fence aud made good his escape. Upou learning thta piece of unwel come newa Sheriff Hogan set about to recapture the prisoner. Guards were placed upou tbe bridges leadiug north and south, aud upon the boats along the baoka of the river, and af ter the conuiry about Myrtle creek and Canyonviile bad been thoroughly aroused, a baud of twenty men was organised to track down the fugitive. His trail waa taken up by tbe sheriff and John Weaver at the point of es cape, and tbeu begao tbe pursuit, une time in the night Paul ran dowu to a boat guarded by Ed. Weaver, and see ing the watchers turned bauk and was pursued by Weaver without success. The sheriffs party was still after him; but tbey lost the track several timea where Paul got into the stream aud waded down the creek. They pressed bim closely, however, aud several times surrounded him ; but the dark ness enabled Paul to slip away. He was at last driven from tbe moun tains into the valley, and was captured by Preston Taylor aud James Ad ams, who discovered him ly lug down iua wheat field as they were return ing from duck hunting. The men levelled their guns upon Paul, and hs gave up without hesitation. Monday Paul was brought into torvn by Sheriff Hogan, Adams and Taylor, and though an attempt was made to release him ftom custody, upou a writ of habeas corpus, a requisition from tbe governor of California Boon settled the matter. Hume left with his pris oner ou the traiu Tuesday morning. there is a difference of opinion aa to Paul's guilt. All that is known in the affair is that a man with a shotgun slopped the stage on the day named. He was masked. Suspicion fell upon Paul, aud he was arrested in Ukiah, aud instead of finding tbe $9 JO taken from the treasure box upon his person, his pockets contained but $20 in gold, and some silver. This money he satis factorily accounted for. The detective, prior to the arrest, bad wiued and dined with aud taken Paul out buggy riding, but learned nothing, and when nothing was gained by tbe arrest Paul was discharged. Hume did not give up the case. He got hold of some suspicious letters by stealing Paul's carpet sack at ( resent City, and then be decided to arrest him a second time. The story is told iu additioa to the above that when arrested Paul had upon his person a certificate of deposit for seven hundred dollars, and this be destroyed; but ft is doubtful in our mind if much would have been done if Paul bad stopped at home and mau fully faced his accusers instead of running away. He Is of good family, aud his father and sister reside in Oak land, where they are highly respected by all. ' It Is certainly a sad blow to them, and one can scarcely help sym pathising with Paul, who is but nine teen years of age. Oakland Law Matters.

Thursday afternoon there was shooting scrape upon the streets of our usually quiet town, and the parties interested therelu were a Chinaman named Lose, and another heathen who answered to the name of Jim, aud who is employed as cook at the residence of W, I. Friedlauder. It apiears tbat wlien Jim and other were arrested for the - robbery of Marks o's safe, nearly two years ago, there waa a purse raised among the Cninese to fee L F. Lane aa an rtoroey In the ease, ana Lose, to pay his portion of tbe levy made by tbe boss Mongolian, borrowed $16.90 from one heathen and $15 from another, 'these amounts Lose haa never paid back. Thursday one of theCbiuamen to whom Lose waa indebted dunned him for the money, aud an angry debate followed. The disputants finally got upon tbe street, and while here wrangling, Jim came along and put in his "oar." This led to a fight, aud all three were arrested aud taken to the calaboose. Upon giving bonds for their appearance Friday, they were released. ai anoui nve o'clock Jim came up town. He met Lose just in front of the wash house, next door to judge Hursh's office. Angry words ensued, and Lose put one of his bands Into bis pocket. As he did this (so Jim says; me nanuie or a pistol made lis apiarauce, aud Jim pushed Lose off the sidewalk and ran. Lose fell upou his knees, and before Jim had got ten feet away, be pulled a pistol aud fired a shot at bis retreating enemy. Then be got upou his feet and ran after Jim firing three more shots. Jim received no damage further than aLole iu his bat, and Lose was taken up by deputy marshal Gale, who bad hurried to tbe scene of trouble, and confined in the city Jail. Jim is a good foot-racer, and has earned distinction in this line. It Is said that alter the first shot he doubled himself up into as small a body as possible, and flew away. W e will not forget to mention that one of tbe bullets from Lose's pistol struck tbe furniture store of Uuele Johu Gildersleeve, and was heard by the gentleman named. The. boys say but we do not believe tbe story that when the bullet rapped against the house Uncle Johuuy exclaimed, 'Good Lord preserve us," and hoisted in trout of him a feather maltrass, ami held it there for two hours. Ou examination before Recorder Fitzhugh Lose was bound over to ap pear before the grand Jury at the next term of court. His bail was placed at $200, which not being furnished be waa remanded to jail. ; MIKING NEWS.

Uarmnek, Oregou. The Eastern Question. The latest Bri-.ish plan for settU meut with Afghanistan may be stated thus: (1) Tbe A!ghans ti choose their own Ameer free from British Influ ence. (2) The British troops to draw back to Jelalabad front Cabul; but to letaiu a garison at Candahar till peaoe shall bs established. (3) Instead of a British envoy to reside at tabu I, as provided by tbe treaty, of Gwndamuk, all diplomatic busluesi to be arranged inrougti a special agent representing ttie VI een. (4) So diplomatic com- muuieation to be held between Afghanistan aud auy foreign court, save as the same shall be approved by England. Theoneirreat difficulty In the way of reriyitig this pln into execution is the presenoa of a large Russian army near (he Afghan frontier I and the itiftVxi'bie purpose of Russia to keep a finger in the pie in spite of English opoosiiiou and jealousy. It is folly to think that Russia aill stop her intrigues with abul bceause oi iue existence of such a contract as tie fourth point in, this plan suggests. If Russia at any future time ahall desire to reuew her iutrigues with the nieer, she will not be so silly as to ask permission of a British cabinet. She will set in set! ret, and tempt the Afghans with- plausible tenders . of aid, Just us Bhe has done In the past. M .eover, the proposal is so hm iliating to Afghan prt ie or nationality, that no Ameer who should assent to it would be allowed to reign a mouth after tne evacuation oi t aodanar !y the British aimy. However, tne &mh that the English authorities at Csul- havs dared to present a plan so bard upon the Afghans, indicates a change in the military situation and aeoufluence that they can bold the ground by force if the negotiation for peace shall iau.
