and  remanded  to  the  county  jail  to  await  the 
action  of  the  grand  jury  and  Constable  Ownby 
started  with  him  for  Silver  City  that  night.

Chauncey  Nicholson,  who  was  arrested  on 
a warrant  sworn  out  by  Tom  Kennedy,  of  Lords- 
burg,  for  horse  stealing,  is  in  the  county  jail.

About  noon  last  Wednesday  a tramp  forcibly 
entered  the  residence  of  Edward  Pennington, 
situated  just  above  town.  The  house  had  been 
left  alone  for  a short  time,  the  entire  family 
being  down  town.  Miss  Mary  Pennington  made 
discovery  of  the  burglary  upon  her  return  from 
school,  and  at  once  rode  down  and  notified  her 
father.  The  fellow  had  entered  by  the  back 
window,  breaking  the  sash,  and  had  made  a 
pretty  thorough  search  inside.  He  seemed  to 
care  for  nothing  but  money  and  jewelry.  He 
secured  a gold  chain  and  a very  valuable  ring 
belonging  to  Mrs.  Pennington,  as  well  as  the 
funds  of  the  Sunday  school  of  which  Miss  Mary 
is  treasurer.  This  amount  was  $2.60,  all  in  small 
change.  The  thief  was  finally  arrested,  and 
gave  his  name  as  John  Evans.  He  was  given 
ninety  days  in  the  county  jail.
