TACOMA, Wash., March 14.—A prom- ising placer gold strike has been made on a nameless tributary of the Laird Rivér, below Black, or Devils Canyon, according to reports brought from the north by the steamship Ramona. Laird | | River is in the interior of Northern British Columbia. The first news of the Laird strike reached Telegraph Creek by a messenger sent out from one of the Hudson Bay Company's Laird River posts. The messenger stated that an Indian had offered for sale, along with his catch of pelts,'a quan- tity of coarse gold, which he said he had taken from a nameless Laird tribu- tary. Some days later a party of twelve left Telegraph Creek for the discovery, about 200 miles distant. In this connection two brothers, Mec- Leod by name, left Wrangel by dog team a month ago for the same locality, though their mission was not at that time known. The McLeods are sons of a Hudson Bay agent, who years ago was stationed at Laird Post. He is sup- posed to have given his sons informa- | miners have been pushing through | | has | through tion which sent them to that remote | region. 3 The report of the find spread rapidly among the miners and prospectors along the upper reaches of Stickeen and | Telegraph creeks, and 'many were | making preparations to leave for Laird.

SAN RAFAEL, March 14.—The body of the mian who was found on Duxbury Reef, near Bolinas, several days ago, has been identified as Phil- ipo Simonetti, an' Italian fisherman.

A bellboy, temporarily endowed with the dignity of a night clerk, and a watchman, hurriedly pressed into service for the occasion, stood a lone- Iy watch in the new St. Francis Hotel last night. Unexpectedly yesterday Manager Allan Pollok of the magnifi- cent new hostelry, found himself a full-fledged boniface. He had ar- ranged for a formal opening of the hotel next Monday evening, but a mis- take in the original advertising mat- ter sent out by the hotel management had announced that the opening would take place March 1. As a result a number of people from Southern California and other points, | who had decided to make their abode "at the St. Francis, proceeded thither when they arrived here yesterday Their disappointment following the | explanatipn they received from Chief ! Clerk McDermott that the hotel was not yet opened to the public appealed to Manager Pollok, who finally agreed to room them provided they would be | contented with rooms and icewater only, the caterer's department not being ready to accommodate guests. The proposition was accepted and the new register of the hotel was soon christened with the first ink used in the house. Seven families occupied apartments in the hotel last night and found their temporary needs attended to by the bellboy and watchman, who were intrusted with the care of the | establishment during the night. Next | Monday the stockholders and direct- ors of the hotel will give a dinner in | the hotel, and at 8 d'clock the St. | Francis will enter uvon it business | career in San Francisco. —_—————— King Edward Helds a Levee.

Each of the men was fined a half month's pay, which amounts to $50 in the case of each patrolman and $70 in the case of the lieutenant. | The particular charge upon which the men were convicted was leaving | the city and county of San Francisco without permission from the Chief of Police. All of the patrolmen pleaded Zuilty selves on the mercy of the bcard after having made an explanation. Lieuten- | ant Burnett, however, who is one of the best officers on the force and who is next in line for the rank of captain, pleaded not.guilty to the charge and | produced testimony in support of his | i denial. Notwithstanding this he was convicted and fined with the others who | appeared before the commission. OFFENDERS ARE TRAPPED. On March 5 the various police cap- | tains visited the race track for the | purpose of trapping policemen who at- tended it. They found Patrolmen John A. Annear, John J. Crowley, | Peter J. Whalen, Thomas F. Byrne, Patrick Curry, John L. Mangan, John | B. Collins, Patrick B. Mahoney, Jere- | miah M. Dwyer and Lieutenant Jo-| seph J. Burnett on the premi and reported the same to Chief Wittman. | On their reports charges were pre- ferred against the various men and their cases were called last night. In extenuation of the offense, each patrolman offered an excuse. Some said they went across the bay for recrea- | tion, it being their timie off duty, others | | that they had “tips” and desired to play, and more that they thought that | their time, when not spent in serving | the city, was their own and subject | | to their own pleasure. They all plead- | ed guilty to having violated section 1) | of rule 30, which provides that no po- | lice officer shall leave the city without | permission. The testimony of the cap- | tains showed the accused to be ex- | cellent officers, and for a time it ap- | peared that the Commissioners would | pass the offense with a reprimand. PLEADS “NOT GUILTY.” Lieutenant Burnett, however, plead- ed “not guilty,” and called Captain | | Norman, chiet clerk to the Chief of Po- | lice, to the stand to prove that the lat- ter had given him permission to visit \Alameda County on the afternoon of | March 5. Chief Wittman testified that he had vested Norman with authority to grant leaves of absence during his absence, but in the face of this Bur- nett was found guilty and must forfeit half a month's pay. The same action was taken in the other cases. Special Officer P. D. Linville, who has been a familiar figure on Kearny street for the last twenty years, was | deprived of his star, it being found that he had not performed his duty in detaining a man who had assaulted Captain of Police Thomas Duke. The captain was in citizen’s clothes when | he became involved in a struggle while attempting to quell a disturbance, and one man that kicked and threw him | started to run away. Linville cap- | tured this man; but released him from | custody before the captain could re- gain his feet. | —_——— Shoots Discharged Soldier.
