nd Chinese profanity. Officers were soon on the trail, but so far the thief has not been caught. Since the theft there has been an advance of twenty-five per cent on all goods coming from that store. Sheriff White- hill offers a reward of $50 for the arrest of the thief. Mason, the soldier trailed to Fort Bayard the morning after the robbery of the Chinese store, was turned loose, as the Chinaman could not identify him. There is no doubt in the minds of the officers that he is the man. He is said to be a hard case. The following proclamation has been is- sued by Sheriff Whitehill and will be strictly enforced : NOTICE. β€” Notice is hereby given that all persons who are without visible means of sup- port, must immediately leave Silver City or find work. Lewd women found on the streets, under the influence of liquor, will, with their escorts, be arrested and locked up. H. H. Whitehill, Sheriff Silver City, N. M., April 24, 1889
