Numerous complaints have been sent to police headquarters of the operations of a gang of bay pirates who have been stealing goods from vessels in the bay. Captain Seymour detailed Detective Crockett on the case, and Thursday he got a clew in the shape of a strange sloop that was 'seen going in the direction of Mission Bay. He was also able to dis- cover that three fnen were In the habit of hiring a wagon from Lambert's stables at Fifth and Folsom streets. Crockett stationed himself in a house near the stables and shortly after dawn yesterday morning he saw two men drive out of the stables with a wagon. He quickly hired a buggy and trailed behind them till they reached the beach near the Seven-mile House, San Bruno road. The men had stolen a large quantity of white paint from a schooner lying at Third and Kentucky streets. It belonged to W. P. Fuller & Co. They had loaded the paint into the sloop and sailed with it to Mi sion Bay, where they unloaded it Thurs- day night and piled it on the beach near the Seven-mile House. Crockett watched them till they began loading the paint into the wagon and he telephcned to the Potrero station for Po- liceman Ennis. As soon as Ennis arrived tney advanced upon the pirates, who saw them ccming and jumped into the wagon, driving off furioysly. They drove against a fence and jumped off. Crockett fired a shot at.one of them. He chased another of the gang through pig pens and sloughs till he overtook nim and soon had the handcufts on him. The other two escaped. The captured pirate gave his name = John Reed. He had a revolver in h pocket, and when the officers went to the sloop they found another loaded revolver and a dark lantern. The white lead was’| marked “A. R.,” which is W. ¥. suuc & Co.’s private mark. Crockett and Ennis loaded the wagon and Crockett drove inte the city with it and his prisoner, while Ennis remained to keep guard over the sloop. Reed was placed in “the tanks.” A search will. be made for his two cox federates.
