A week ago to- ay John Brown, a boy, was going arcund to houses on Telegraph H:ll witha case of Christmas toys which he was trying to sell. He noticed that three boys were follow- ing bim, but he did not dream that they meant mischief. When he got to a se- ciuded spot on thke hiil they closed in upon him and took the case of toys from him, saying he must he tired and they would help him carry it. They led him along till they got to3the quarry on Sansome street, one carryving the toys. Tkere while one garroted him in the most approved fashion another went through his pockets, taking his money and his silver watch and chain. The three then disappeared. Brown reported the matter at polics headquarters and Policemen Ellis and McGowan were detailed to investigate, as the boy footpads were suspected of be- | | | front and familiarly known as “w rats,” Monday, ter Ellis and put a charge of vagrancy against nim so to detain him. Dagnio at first denied that he knew anything about the robbery, of the trio, and e they led Brown to the quarry. He not say wkt arroted and robbed Brown. Dagnio was booked vesterday aficrnoon for grana larceny, so thet he can be sent to the Whitiier Reformatory. He has been arrested twice before, once for steal- inga horse and buggy, for which he was sent to the Boys’and Girls’ Aid Society for six months, the “water rat.” tis and McGowan know who the other two boys are, end yesterday they obtained warrants for their arrest from Juage Con- lan’s court. ALASEA CAR GOBS BAST Known. Large Crowds Attracted by the Ex- hibit at the Ferry Informa- tion Bureau, wonld The crowd that inspected the exhibit of the Alaska Trade Bureau yesterday was even greater than on Tuesduy and from of persons who were drawn either by curi- sity or a desire to inform about the requ rements of a miner's life on the Yukon flowed steadily through the room. In fact, it was found necessary to place a man on duty whose special charge it was to admit a limited number of per- sons at one time, so that there woula be no uncomiortable crowding. While many were residents of the city, induced by curiosity solely to see the exhibit, there were a great many who represented par- ties preparing to leave early in the spring for the Klondike. Some of these foreran- ners of those to come announced that they represented parties in the Southern and Middle States. In tie Eastern States the movement does not seem to bave yet be- come 8o strong as in the fartber West.

Inasmuch as | the greater vart of the river transporta- | tion” will be conducied by companies | owned and cperated in Ban Francisco, travelers going this way will nave a great advantage over those who go to St. Michael from the sound ciiles. The Alaska Commercial Company, the Alaska | and Yukon Transportation Company, and | tbetransportation company operated by Liebes & Co. will all buok passengers from this city through to Dawson City, and itis safe to say that tbeir carrying apacity will be engaged long in advance. Passengers from the sound cities to St. Michael will find very few boats con- necting with their steamers and will be at | a great disadvantaze to those shipping from here, because it is an assured fact that there will be no passengers placed free on the river bosts, which can be en gaged at the time of their arrival at S | their special business to carry such passengers us are delivered to them by their own steamers at the mouth of the Yukon. The North American Trading and Transportation Company, which is oper- ated from the sound, must first of all see 'hat the stocks of its store on the Upper Yukon are replenished and for this reason they will be inclined to give prefer- ence to their own freignt over whatever passenger business may fall to their share. The special car, winich has been put at the disposal of the Alaska Trade Com- mittec will leave for the East to-night. All arrangements have been perfected and decorations of the car will be in piace early this afternoon. One of the business firmsof the city in sending its subscription to the company makes the suggestion that many persons bave not sent in voluntary contributions becanse they did not know the adaress of the Alaska Trade Committee nor to whose order checks for the general fund should be drawn.

Several weeks ago Jobnson, who is an ex-convict, was arrested in Monterey on several charges ot burglary. Luring {cleaning ap’’ time he managed to elude the watchful eye of the jailer and escaped. He was not missed until several hours afierward and a concerted effort was made to recapture him. Sherifi Matthews learned that after he had es- caped he boarded & ireight train and came to this eity. Last Monday he was seen in the tender- loin district in the company of a woman who is well known to the loeal police. He seemed to have considerable money, and 10 a friend hesaid he would never ve taken without a d:sperate struegle. Matthews secured a picture of him from the rogues’ gallery, together with his record. Jonnson is known as one of the most desperata burglars in the State. About five years ago he was arrested in San Jose in the act of breaking into a house and sent to San Quentin. After being released he came to tuis city and was caught fore- ing an enirance into a North Beach ware- house. He was tried for the crime and a ain sent to the penitentiary, Several weeks ago he went to Monterey and committed a series of burglaries.

The Complaint Was Sworn to by Mrs. 8, Levy, a Neighbor, From Pure Malice. | Insanity Commissioners Were Notified and Mrs, Flaherty Was Promptly Released. An oufrage was perpeirated yesterday upon Mrs. Flaherty, wile of John Fla- nerty, a retired bricklayer, living at 147 Harriet street. The Flahertys own the house in which they live and are bighly esteemed by their neighbors with one exception, Mrs. Sarah evy, who lives two doors from them. Mrs. Flaberty has four children, and throu:h some cause unknown 1o her Mrs. took a spite at the children. Mrs. herty says that Mrs. Levy, while the children were passing her house or the way to school, would open her window | and throw dirty water over them.] Monday night Mrs. Flaberty remon- strated with Mrs, Levy and hot words passed between them. Mrs. Levy declared | that the Flahertys were all crazy and she would prove it. | Yesterday morning Mrs. Levy, accom- vanied by her son, went to the County Clerk’s office and swore to a complaint | charging M Flaherty with being in- | sane. She answered the questions put to | her by Deputy County Clerk Daly in such a pert way that he had to mildly admon- ish her. The warrant was sent to the Southern Police station, and Policeman Tracey was sent in the patrol wagon to take Flaherty to the Receiving Hospital. | Tracey entered the house Mrs. Flaherty was nursing her busband, who was sick in bed with a severe cold. She could scarcely realize what the officer wanted, | but when she aid she went iato hysterics. was taken from her howme, placed in 1e patrol wagon, which was uncovered, and driven 10 the hospital exposed to the gaze of peopie on the streets. She was in a pitiable condition when | she reached the hospiial. Dr. Bunneil | was on duty, and she protesied to him between her sons that she was not insane, After she quieted down the doctor talked with her, und 11 did not take him long to | see that her arrest wasa gross outrage. He communicated with Deputy County Clerk Daly, who has charge of the insane, i he at or {the Insanity Commissioners and ex- ined the facts to _them. Thev went to the Lospital, saw Mrs. Fiaherty and or- dered her to be sent home. Mrs, Flaherty’s husband, after she was taken away, got out of bed, dressed him- self and wept to the pital. He wa indignant over the arrest ot his wife and | was advised to take steps to punish Mrs. Levy fc earing that his wife was insane. “I have lived years,” said F Loy in iert married twenty-two years, and this is the this city forty-four “and have been | first time we have had any tr | our neighbors.
