They ransacked the Wouse, but could not find anything of value. Both wore masks. and One was about six the other about five feet Both wore blue suits and balck ts. It was some time before | Gripll was zble to get his hands free. The mounted policemen in the Mission | district have been instructed to keep a sharp lookout for the two men. Emile A. Naville, a sailor boy on the steamer £anta Rosa, went into a saloon on East street Friday night and met a man who made a trip to Manila with him ; on the transport Dix. They had several | | drinks together and Navilie left to go| | aboara the steamer. The man accom- panied him and on the way struck him on the head and demanded his money. ille threw a purse containing his away unsecen by his assailant, who | took 15 cents out of his pocket, beifeving | that was all the money he had. Naville reported the hold-up to Policeman Barry, | and after a search they found the purse. The man was arrested by Policemen Barry and Helms in a saloon on East street and booked on a charge of robbery. | He gave the name of Frank Sullivan. The case was called in Judge Mogan's court yesterday and continued till to- | morrow . feet tall | seven ix —_————————— PEDDLED THE JOB OF A NIGHT WATCHMAN Trnest Fuhrman Wastes Six Nights at Foundry in the Cold and Fog. Frank Hess, an ex-soldier, appeared be- fore Judge Mogan yesterday on a charge of obtaining money by false pretenses. The complaining witness was Ernest Fuhrman, who testified that on Hess' representation that he could get a job | for him as night watchman at a foundry on Main and Howard streets he gave Hess $12. His wages were to be $3 per night. “I went to the place,” sald Fuhrman, “and for six nights walked all around the building in the fog and cold till a police- man asked me what 1 was doing skulk- ing around the foundry. I told him that 1 had been appointed the night watch- man. The policeman advised me to see the proprietors, and 1 found out I had been swindled.” At the request of the defendant the case +as continued till to-morrow. Former Soldier Killed by Gas. Lawrence Schneiderhen, a former sol- dier, was found asphyxiated in bed yes- terday morning in -a lodging-house, 265C Oak street. Schneiderhen had been on a spree for several days and the key of the gas burner was loose. The inevitable ef- fect followed. He was a native of Ger- many, about 60 years of age studying the materlal progress of San Francisco. Last month there were 459 sales, mvolving the large total of $3,993,583. This is more than double the amount of ghe sales in January, 1%01, and sur- passes those of January, 1001, by 224 in The record for December, 1901, was 79 sales and $3,599,805 in _amount. From this it is made plain that the ten- dency of San Francisco realty is still up- ward, the demand for it indicating that | fact unmistakably. On all sides the hum |of business is heard. Large buildings |and large enterprises are the order of | the time. Money is abundant, as the | large increase in the deposits In the sav- i ings banks and the comparatively small | demand for money on the security of real | estate attests. i Magee's Circular calls attention to sev- |eral facts of importance in relation to the interests of realty. One of these 13 found in the following paragraph: We have the important announcement to make that some new mortgages are now being borrower 1o pay the mortgage tax. That would mean, at the tax rate this year, 5.55 per cent gross. But next year or the year after the tax rate may be $1 75 on' the $100, or even more, especially in view of possible bond iseues. No one would have believed a few years ago that money would be as cheap for real estate uses as it now is. The other savings banks a granting city real estate | loans &t 5% to 6 per cent, they paying the mortgage tax. The savings banks of San Francisco now have deposits amounting to §143,345,468. Of this amount $65,235,103, or 40 per cent only, is loaned on reai estate curity. | Important Properties.

The Tiability to disease is greatly lessened when the blood is in good con- dition, and the circulation healthy and vigorous. For then all refuse matter is promptly carried out of the system ; otherwise it would rapidly accumulate — fermentation would take place, the blood becon:e polluted and the consti- tution so weakened that a simple malady might result seriously. A healthy, active circulation means good digestion and strong, healthy nerves. Asablood purifier and tonic 8. 8. S. has no equal.

The Daily Pacific Builder says that the building engagements in this city for the month just closed point to a brilliant year for 1%02. Altogether there were re- corded 170 engagements, representing an outlay of $1,162374. In January, 1901, the amount represented by engagements was only $488,093. In 18%0, when realty was moving very well, the January Building engagements amounted to only $603,800. While this was slightly surpassed in Jan- uary, 1891, there has not been an equal to the January record of 1901 until the pres- ent year. This is supplied as another un- mistakable indication of the general drift of demand for improvements in San Fran- cisco. Oscar Harris -will build a three-story frame building, containing three flats, the north line of California street, 173:3 feet west from Fillmore street, to cost $9100. ' - Henry and Bernard Shaw have con- tracted for .the eregtion of a' four-story and basement brick building on the south- west corner of Second a~1 Minna streets, to cost $15,000. Mrs. May F.

Trouble Over Mining Shares. A. Neumann, 130 Sixth street, swore to a complaint in Judge Cabaniss’ court yes- terday charging John C. Jens with ob- taining money by false pretenses. Neu- mann alleges that on February 27 last year Jens induced him to purchase 1000 shares at 50 cents per share of the Rich Gulch Mining and Milling Company on the representation that the company owned a rich gold mine in Calaveras County with a veln or ledge of gold-bear- ing quartz known as the ‘“Mother Lode gold belt,” and that the shares were worth $2 each. He further alleges that these representations as to the value of the mine and shares were false. ADVERTISEMENTS. Sore Throat ‘and Lung Trouble Don’t you take any chances with a sore throat; it is too big to risk. A lot of ailments come under the head of “sore throat.” For instance, tonsilitis, bronchitis, trachitis—all ‘of them in a different form but each one curable by the same remedy. Halpruner’s will cure a sore throat in less time than any other known rem- edy. In fact, it is the best medicine made for sore throat. First rub the throat thoroughly with Halpruner’s and saturate a piece of flannel with it and bind it around the neck. Dilute one tablespoonful in a wine glass of water and spray or gargle the throat—also take it internally in milk or water. Before the big hand on your clock makes one complete circle you will notice the difference. You will be very much better, and cure you permanently. . Halpruner’s ‘Trial Trealment Free.
