Grizzly Flat was excited. ISrery

crowd of rough-looking minors jath
ored nrouncl the "Long Tom" B.ilooi
and Gather's stoiv. From thu npprnr
nnco of things it w.is evident thai
Romothint ; voryMimisiml Imil happened. .
No ordinary ahnntitiK ixn" f or mining
nccidont would liavo kicked up Hiioli i
fuss , and as for "a Blriko" or "i
find1 , Biich things were of too fro
qiient nccnrruncu to make the boy
knock oir work and leave tlioir claim
nt this limn of day. The fact in
Grbzly Flat was enjoying its drat rotl
hot sonsation. Everything that pro
ceiled it , not excepting the murder o
old man Moore nnd the lynching o
Sydney Hill , wan tame in comparison
nnd the occasion of it all wm
the arrest of n Mexican callei
"Gringo , " for robbing nluiccs , Thii
rascally work ban been going on foi
months , the claims being visitecl dur
ing the niulit , the rufllrn taken up , am
the boxes raked and scraped an if will
n fine-tooth comb. In spite of overj
prccaulion , such as a "clean-up" al
the close of each day's work , instoac
of on Saturday night , ns usual , the lot :
was considerable , tonay nothing of tin
trouble and worry caused by it. Several
oral companies stood guard with shot
guns night after night , but the ntcal
ing wont steadily on , and the norpo
trator or perpetrators could not bo do
tooted. Naturally enough , the mysterious
torious midnight visitor puzzled tin
boyH awfully , and more than one mat
In camp began to bo looked upon will
suspicion.
HTAUTMNO NBWS.
In the midst of this anxiety and
RiispeuBO , while all wore worrying ovoi
these nocturnal depredations , wore :
ran like wild-firo alonj { the camp and
through the surrounding country thai
the tliiof had been caught at last.
Sam 1'ritcher , who had been hired U :
stand watch over the "Gold Minors'
claim , was the successfulBontinol. and
immediately became the hero of the
hour. Sam was a tall , lank , lantern
jawed Misaourian , comparatively r
now man on Grizzly Flat , and verj
few know anything about him Hi
certainly didn't love work , althougl ;
doing a little occasionally in the waj
of mining , while his vicious disposi
t if in and gambling propunsitiei
woi-o not calculated to win him nmnj
friends. On the subject of elince
robbing Sam had been onoot the 11103
indignant , notwithstanding ho novci
owned a foot of ground , nnd was of tei
heard to swear that the miscreant win
would rob an hcmo.il miner ought t <
bo strung up like a dog to the nearoa
tree. Very likely it was because o
his zeal in this respect that caused bin
to bo one of the first men placed 01
guard by the minors to protect thoii
property nnd discover the guilty part ]
or parties. Unlike several others
who wore selected for the same duty
Sam proferrrd to ' 'go it alone , " stub
bornly refusing to stand guard nloni
with anybody also , and swearing , wit ]
a terrible oath , that ho didn't proposi
to share either the regard or the glor
with any man. Bis account of tin
discovery of the thief , nnd the manner
nor in which ho effected the capture
was that ho hud hidden himself be
hind a pile of railings , from whicl
point ho could have n good view o
the sluices without being soon by tin
robber. About 3 o'clock in tin
morning , or botwcon 2 and 3 , ho sav

position , and scraping up the dust a

to bear upon him , when ho had conn
within close range , Sam made him hi
prisoner , nnd brought him into canii
This was substantially the story o
the capture , its told by the long Mis
ourian with n liberal ombolishmont o
oaths. The way of it was that tin
Mexican n lazy , idle , worthless ful
low wan always cursing the Ameri
cans ns "d Gringoos" ( Yankees )
and the latter , probably for this re.i
eon , and because the growling black
guard disliked it so much , faatenci
upon him thu name of "Gringo" ii
return. All over the camp , niuoii ]
the miners , he was called nothing else
and the boys delighted to shout i
after him wherever ho wont. Hereto
fore , however , whatever might In
"Gringo's" shortcomings , lie had neve
been suspected of being a thiuf. Stil
there was no very great surprise min
gled with the popular indignation a
finding this particular Mexican luu
boon caught in thu sluices.

boiling with excitement. More thai

knowing anything beyond that "

without waiting for the evidence o

John Martin , one of the "colid" mei
of Grizzly Flut , Martin had In
bunds full that morning. Ho wai
heavy loser by the sluice robbing , am
probably for that reason the unfot
tunule ' 'Gringo" had been turned ovc
to him by his captor. But John Mat
tin did not believe in hanging a mat
first and trying him afterwards , ns di
BO many of liis rash and excited new
ciates , oven if ho were "nothing but
greaser , anyhow ? " It wan no oas
task , however , to restrain the ponulu
fury , particularly when the cliuii
lightning whiskuy began to make i
/self felt us the day wore on. J'rilcln
Hindu hiinaolf particularly active i
demanding summitry vengeance , an
the glory of lii exploit gavu him git'i
intluenuo with thu ox.ispuratiKl mult
tudo. "Lot'a hang him t < > tree , " li
shouted , "and you bet wo won't ' lutv
any moroHluico-robbnig in this ouum.
'J'hut bio advice would huvo been fo
lowed there can bo no question , had
not Mr. Martin and a few friends he
had called to his assistance bravely in
terposed between the Mexican and the
jury of the mob , for such it might
fairly bo called. Through their active
exertions and earnest appeals it was n !
lait determined to
OIVK HIM A TRIAL.
For this purpose a minors' jury waj
formed , then and there , under a hig
oak tree , with John Martin for judge
of the impromptu court , lint littii
time was wauled on technicalities 01
anything else , nnd the whole trial did
not consume an hour , The principa
witness was Pritcher , who detailed
the manner of the discovery and
arrest , and added that "Gringo" had
ollored to give him five thousand dollars
lars to lot him go. The prisoner ,
through nn interpreter , was permittee !
to make a statement. Ho declared
that there was not one word of truth
in 1'riteher's testimony ; that ho wa
going up the creek to his cabin , hav
ing been down at ri Spanish danco-
houno until after 2 o'clock in the
morning ; that he had been drinking ,
and hardly know what ho was doing ,
until Pritchur grabbed him by the
collar , and threatened to blow his
brains out ; that all this occurred on
the public roul , and ho was not inner
nor near the sluices. One or two
minors testified to having seen
"Gringo" nt a late hour in the fan-
elango , where he was making n nuisance
of himself as usual--drinking , quar
reling and cursing everybody.
AN UOIiY t'llH'OMWANl'i : .
There was one circumstance in the
case which looked particularly bad
for the Mexican. When first brought
in ho repeatedly declared that he had
no money , while on being searched ,
to his appaiont nstoniahment ind
consternation , nearly two ounces of
coarse gold was found upon. Ho
could give no account of how he got
the dust , nnd swore some ono must
have put it in his pock'ot. The "jury"
laughed outright when the poor
"Gringo" told his story , in which the
host oFspoctators joined with hearty
500d will. From that moment thu
prisoner evidently realized , as the
hoys said , that ho had "fjono up thu
Hume. " Even John Martin , who had
asked Sam Pritcher n good many sus
picious questions , as if ho did not. feel
entirely satisfied with the truth
of his statement , was clearly stagger
ed by this circumstance. Neverthe
less , when it was proposed to hang the
Mexican , Martin strenuously objected
and urged some other kind of punish
ment. "You see , boys , " ho said ,
"there may bo something wrong in
this matter , after nil , though it cer
tainly looks bad for Gringo. I know
he's n mean , worthless , good-for-noth
ing fellow , but I don't like the idea
of hanging n man on this evidence. I
don't exactly know why , for ho cer
tainly appears to be guilty , but some
thing seems to say within mo that wo
haven't got the right man yet. " Homo ,
how his eyes mot those of Prtcher as
ho said this , and more than ono
noticed that Sam turned pale and
cowereel beneath that meaning glance.
A HUOL'KINfl SCKNE.
Martin's eflbrto finally prevailed , so
far ns the prisoner's life was con
cerned , notwithstnnding the ominous
murmurs of the angry crowd , who
were evidently disappointed at the
prospect of his escaping thu oxtremu
penalty of Juditu Lynch. The dis
appointment was not of long dura
tion , however , as the jury speeelily
resolved , as a sort of a compromise ,
that the prisoner should be stripped
and given fifty lashes. This wan
doomed satisfactory nil around with
the exception of the wretched victim ,
who seemed to have a mortal horror
of the whipping proponed. Up to
this time ho hud sullenly refused to
nsk for mercy ; but now , with terror
dppictou in every feature of his
vicious , ugly face , ho begged franti
cally fpr thorn to hang him. He war.
not afraid to die , but grow nick and
fnnit at the very thought of receiving
fifty lashes. The poor cronturo'n

ticipnted in gulling anybody to do tin
flogging , but Pritchur stopped forward
nnd volunteered for thu lmit.il woik ,
No onu disputed his fitness for tin

formed his horrible task was testified

voking taunts < | uiotly. Ho said noth
ing , and took his place at the wind
less and down the hole as usual , bit )
a close eibsorvor would have noticed
that ho was very earnestly
thinking about something ,
Ono day , after they had all knocked
off work , ho went down the creek to
the cabin of A man named Iloguu ,
who had been once n well known detective
tectivo in n Inrgo eastern city. After
shaking hands and taking n scat on
an old rickclty bench which served fern
n chair , Martin said : "Hogiiu , 1'vo
come down to got your opinion on a
matter that has been troubling mo for
some tiinp. You know , as well as I
do , wlmt has been K"ii'g ' on in this
camp in the way of aluice-robbinj , ' .
You sw that poor ilovii of n Mexican

the Ixird knows where , and yet the
stealing goes on jn t ns bad as ever.
Now , you have had some experience
in this sort of limit , ' , and 1 want to
tell you what 1 think and uest your
advice. I mny do a certain man
wrong by my suspicions , and that is
why 1 have cumu to you. "
Ho then related to hinrhnw hu hud
lever been fully aatislied of the Mexi
can's guilt , di-spito of nppu trnncoa to
, ho contrary ; that hn had from the
Irst a suspicion in hia mind that Sam
I'rilcher himself wns the guilty party ,
ind that hu , now , in the light ot what
tad occurred sine" , thought so more
.ban uvur. Thu ux-duteutivo listened
latiuntly to the end , and then said :
'When I was in the old busmen * to
lomo wo had just onu wiy nt thu bu-
{ intiinu to treat a emu like this.Vo
watched our man. Why , sir , day nnd
light , for months nt a time , I've fol-
owetd rny man like his shadow. Some-
, iniL's hu would get nway , for some-
imes they beat the best of us , but
ihio times out of ton wu would bac

in , you havu roused my old profoa-
ional feeling , ns it wuru , nnd if } on
say the word I'll toll you buforoyou're

The two men pupnratud , John

usual , but HiigiiD hud to "lay oil" ho
