A very clever piece of work was done yesterday by Offic Brady and Don- ovan in th st of a rascal who gave the name of Max Reese. A couple of weeks ago this man, who is well known to the police as a suspicions character, gave a mortgage to Croit, the money lender, on a pair of mules, obtaining thereon the sum of $200. He then drove around to another money loaner on Thirteenth street, named Reed, and mortgaged the same team for a large amount. Tuesday night Croft swore out a warrant for Reese's arrest and the papers were putin the hands of the police for service. did not succeed in finding him, however, until yesterday, wlon Brady and Don ovan | happentd fo- e ol Reese's whe bouts through na dropped by a colored prostituts, They traced him to a house of prostitution on the bottoms, near the powder magazine Reese was considorably surprised when the oflicers pounced upon him, but con- sented to go along to the jail like a little man.

The ice is moving rapidly out of the river, and barring a few floating frag- ments of ice and large clusters on the dif- nd bars, the water is almost en- y free at this point.

A large number of llolu,minnfi were present in the police court yesterday ternoon to listen to the Lrnl of Albert Dolejs, who was arrested two weeks ago for the larceny of some lumber at the in- stance of another Bohemian named Jo- seph Klofat. The case was a peculiar one, and as plaintiff, defendant and wit- nesses could not speak English it occu- pied considerable time. ‘The value ot the lumber claimed to have been stolen was $1.05, but that was not the difliculty. Klofat had purchased a house of 5 and after the sale had been made the for- n ccused the latter of knocking out the posts which supr(yrted the houso so that it settled in_the center the posts away.

He was arraigned in police court yesterday on a charge of vagraney, but pleaded not guilty, saying that he had an aflection of the heart, and was unable to do hard manual labor. A number of pawn tickets for clothing and a lot of poker chips were found on him, and he was unable to give a satisfactory account of how he got the goods that were pawned.

McShane of the gas company which has just been formed, was waited upon by a reporter for the Ber yesterday and questioned with regard to the course the new organization proposes to pursue in view of the reduction in rates by the old gas company. “We propose to go ahead and push our scheme, provided we can get our char- ter,” he replied. “We cannot do any- thing without a charter. We simply ask that the city shall give us afair ‘shake.’ ” ““What do you call a fair shake?™* “Well, we want to be put on an equal footing with the old gas company. We can't afford to make coal gas, costing $1 and sell it at £1.50, as we have agreed to do, if the old company is al- lowed to sell water gras, costing only for- ty cents, at $1. he city has got to equalize this difference in some way '’ “Then yoir compiny pioposes to go spite of the factof the reduction s of the old mnn)‘v:u At 3 what does the reduc- tion ¢ It is ounly temporary.
