There are quite a number of sneak
thieves In town, and a general lookout
for them on tbe part of our citizens
may lead to the detection. and arrest
of several of thein, Several of our
citizens have lost considerable wood,
others have lost clothes left hanging
on tbe line outside over night, and
the other night Mr. Samps. 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

thatoueof the thief's neighborhood
will be aroused by a loud report some
morning and the thief discovered.

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.

WAR IN CHINA.
A Shooting Scrape Upon The Streets,
. 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. ;

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.
SCAB FLAT,
More rain and a graud rush for the
flat-footed dances.
Many thanks to John Deboy for bis
smiling appearance at the dance at
Orlando-Rice's, and also' his jig dano
ing. Mr. J. Deboy is visiting this femes
Ine gender of tbe Red Hills, do it
acre-foot, we will pull our, boot-straps
for you. . -
On the 20th Inst, Mr. Wilt Parker
departed front here, bound for Port
laud. Luck and fortune go with you,
oid boy. .!
We will say . that we have larger
audiences at the spelling school at
Scab Flat school house, than any
other place in the county.
Three men from Red Hill started
for the dance in Greene valley, riding
very stylish in a covered back, but to
their sad misfortune tbey knockod
the polish off of their boots by push
ing the hack, up the hills. Their part
ners said; "We wish we had our
shoes or gum boots."
Some time ago, one of Scab Flat's
young men took his duck to a dance,
but to his horror the horse which ne
rode came up missing when daylight
dawned; so, putting the saddle on his
back and the halter on his head, the
girl mounted her horse took bim by
the baiter strap and when last aeen he
was goiug switching his tail neighing
