A quartet of crooks, who, the police think, are responsible for a _number of | burglaries committed in the Western Ad- | dition, were arTested yesterday morning | by Detectives Ryan and O'Dea and Police Officer Lloyd and locked up in the City Prison. They gave their names as Harry Smith, Thomas Kelleher, Thomas Schin- ke John Brown. Both Kelleher and mith are well known to Captain Sey- mour’s men. 7 Late Saturday night Smith and Kelleher broke the Del Monte dairy at 2145 and stole two bottles of eream register. Othcer Lloyd was ap- the crime and he started after ter searching for them for more | then an hour he ran across the desperate pair on Pierce s They showed fight, but fearing the policeman’s revolver sur- rendered. A “jimmy" was found in . the | possession of Kelleher. ! Shortly afterward Detectives Ryan and O'Dea found Brown and Schinkle in a | lodging-house south of Market street. After being taken to the City Prison Bchinkle broke down and confessed to sev- eral burglaries committed by the quartet. Some_ time before an entrance was ef- | fected to the dairy the desperate fellows | broke into the residence of F. Triedman at | 1A Fr: 14 reet and stole a revolver | and a lady's black silk skirt. From the| house of Mr. Triedman tne four went to the residence of John Peabody at 1506 Larkin street and after forcing an en- trance got away with two gold rings be- longing to the servant girl and $2 in sil- | ver.

The few people who ventured out to the ocean beach were rewarded with a sight of tumbling, bolling waters that dashed over the roadway leading to the Cliff House. Pedestrians who walked up the road to the Sutro Heights ran the gauntlet of a jolly crowd. The wind blew in fitful gusts and at the corner of the CIiff House seemed to concentrate all its energy. Hats and. caps were sent flying before the wind and umbrellas were turned in- sconced on the porches of Host Wilkins' In the morning the heavy breakers piled and spray flew over the balconies of the cliff resort. The broken runway of the life-saving station on the beach was sur- rounded by angry waves, and considerable of the sand of the beach road was washed away.

He was brought — craft along the water front yesterday, drove vessels of small tonnage to shelter and compelled big ships to reinforce their anchorage. The storm was expected and due precautions were taken to make everything snugly fast. The result was that, beyond getting chafed a little, the shipping generally escaped without in- jury. The wind outside blew with terrific force, although the bar broke in but few places. The wind at Point Reé:es n: 9t a. m. was to the northwest a fhe Tate of strty miles an hour. At Point Lobos the velocity of the wind at noon was only twenty-eight miles, but by 3 o'clock it had increased to fifty miles an hour. It was blowing at the rate of forty- four miles an hour at 5 o’clock. Boatman Harry Johnson yesterday aft- ! ernoon picked up a flat-bottomed hunting skiff off the ferry depot. There was no- body in the boat, which was nearly filled with water and was being driven seaward by tide and wind. In the bottom of the skiff were about thirty decoy ducks. The boat was painted blue. The lifeboat belonging to the wrecking barge anchored over the sunken hull of the May Flint went adrift yesterday aft- ernoon with three men aboard.

Richard Fer, an Itallan shoemaker, was arrested last night by Policeman J: S. O'Nell and booked at the southern police station on two charges of assault to mur- der. Fer has a cobbler shop at 430 Sixth street. He claims that for some time a fang of voung boys of the neighborhood ave annoyed him by breaking his win- dows and in other ways. Last night he caught a boy who, he says, was one of his tormentors, and locking him in the shop, went in search of a policeman, John Hynes, a teamster, living at 259 Perry sireet, learned of the trouble and asked Fer to release the boy. Fer refused and started to blow a police whistle. Hynes attempted to take the whistle away when Fer drew a heavy club, in the ‘handle of which was a long knife blade, and struck Hynes on the head. John' O’Connor, a bystander, went to Hynes' rescue and recelved similar treatment. During the scuffle Fer re- leased the knife blade and jabbed Hynes several time in the back with it. Hynes and O'Connor were treated at the Central Emergency Hospital. Neither man is seri- ously injured. ———— To reach the mining fields of the South- west advertise in the Los Angeles Mining . Review.

Timely Arrival of Citizsns Frightens Thugs Before They Rob Victim. Harry L. Holdsworth, proprietor of a barber shop at 3083 Twenty-fourth street, ‘was severely beaten Saturday night by two ‘desperate footpads, who were fright- ened off before they secured any booty. Holdsworth was walking along Fourth street, near Folsom, about 11:30 o’clock, when the robbers sprang on him from a doorway and one of them struck him from behind with a club or “billy.” The blow landed on Holdsworth's neck with sufficient force to fell him to the side- walk in a half-dazed condition. When Holdsworth was falling _he intuitively put his hand to his watch pocket. e struck face downward on the sidewalk, and one of the thugs quickly rolled him over on his back to get at his pockets. Ioldsworth, although half-dazed, tried to get up, when he was struck another blow, his time above the right eye. Holds- worth managed to give one yell for help before the second biow landed, and then sank back unconscious. The barber's cry was heard by several citizens who were in the neighborhood at the time, and as they ran to his assist- ance the baffled fooipads took to their heels and quickly disappeared in the darkness. Holdsworth had but a small sum of money and a watch on him, but the robbers, failed to get either the money or_ timepiece. The two blows dealt Holdsworth by the thugs greatly shocked his nervous sys- tem and he was unable to attend to his work yesterday. The side of his face is also abraised, and it is not improbabie that one of his assailants gave him a parting kick before running off when he heard assistance coming. = Holdsworth was intending to go to Folsom street to take a car to his home on Folsom street, between Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth, when the assault took place. Several daring robberies have been com- mitted in that section of the city recently and the efforts of the police to tatch the thugs have been futile. It is believed that the robbers are strangers here, and that they came in from the country to spend the winter. Holdsworth is unable to i!ve any description of his assailants, 2s he was taken unawares and did not get a view of them, as they came at him from behind.

At the hospital a stomac.. pump was applied and then the patient admitted that he had not poisoned himself. but was merely endeavoring to perpetrate a joke on the physicians.

The car stuck in such a -posi- tion that traffic from both outward and inward was blocked. The car that jumped the track was crowded with passengers, who were considerably shaken up, but no one was injured. Traffic was resumed at an early hour this morning. ————— $9.00 Per Ton $9.00 Better and cheaper than coal; no screening, no waste. ~ Your coal dealer sells Tesla Briquettes; @1l one size.
