Determined Effort Is to Be Made to | Drive the “Sure Thing” Men { Out of the Precincts of the City. >— The police arrested a number of ‘‘sure thing” .men yesterday and are making a determined effort to break up the gang of bunko men who infest the city. Their names are Harry Walters, alias Major Call, alias “Blg Mit Harry"; Frank Les- ler, alias Reynolds, alias Brown; Edward Sheehan, alias “the Kid,” allas ‘‘Spre Thing”” Sheehan; Charles Crawford, alias Rounds, alias “Big Foot,”” allas ‘“One- Eved Riley,” and Willlam Russell, allas Jimpy,” alias *“‘the Swede with the ter- rible gall.” Crawford and Russell were | arrested yvesterday afternoon by Detective | | Egan and charged with grand larceny. Several davs ago they visited a clgar store at 304 Kearny street conducted by a man named Albert Bear and “‘flim-flam- med” him out of $5. “After discovering his loss Bear reported the matter to the police_ and from a description of the two | men Detective Egan arrested Crawford and Russell and charged them with the crime. Last night they were positively identified by their victim. | Subsequently, Lester and Sheehan were taken into custody by Detective Egan and locked up in the tanks. About a week ago they met a recent arrival from the interfor named J. W. Smiley, who was about to buy a ticket for Portiand, Oregon, and in- duced him to visit a room at 652 Mission street, where they claimed the agent was stopping and that they could get him to give him & ticket free of charge. Smiley, seeing a chance to save the money that | was necessary to a trip to Oregon, readily accompanied the two men to the room where the agent of the railroad company was supposed to have his office. After entering the room a game of cards was | | proposed pending the arrival of the agent,” and in a short time Smiley lost he money he had, amounting to $63. Suspecting he had been robbed he reported | the matter to the police with the result that the two bunko men were taken into tody. | Walters, who the police say is the leader | of the gang, was found in a house on | Jones street. In his room was discovered | a complete outfit for swindling “tender- feet.” There is a chargé of vagrancy al- ready pending against Walters, but never- theless he will be detained in the tanks until the case is disposed of.
