MORE SCARED THAN HURT. - About (
o'clock yesterday morning unearthly yells
and X, and the residents of the neighbour
hood ran out in such garments rs they
could wrap themselves in most quickly 10
see what the trouble was, believing that it
must certainly be a serious matter. Chief
Jackson, who rooms in the Arcade build
ing, was lu4Eabo-t TO retire when the cries
broke on the startled air, and he fastened
out into the street. half.dressed, and in his
hurry forgetting that he had left the fine
badge recently presented to him and other
Valuables lying upon his bed and had not
even closed the room door behind him.
The cutlery appeared to come from the Vi
cinity of the telegraph Office, and running
over there, the Chief found man enbrac-
ing a telegraph pole as though it alone
stood between him and destruction while
he held his head down TO let his nose bleed,
and at the same time exercised his
vocal organs. In answer to the
Chiefs inquiry he stated that two
men had knocked him down and robbed
him-he couldn't give any particulars.
Jackson noticed, however, that TWO of the
telegraph messenger boys were laughing a
if they thought it great fun, ard he &C
cordingly interviewed them and others who
seemed to know something about the mat
ter and arrived at the conclusion that there
had not been any robbery, but that the
yellist had been drinking freely at saloons
in the neighborho0d, and finally sat down
on some sacks on the sidewalk and fell
asleep. The air became SO cool about
O'Clock that the chilliness aroused him,
and starting up, benumbed mentally as
well az physically, he stumbled and fell,
humping his nose on the sidewalk. Seeing
the blood, the idea took possession of his
head that he had been assaulted, and then
he wanted to let the public know that he
was sufferer These were probably the
facts Of the matter, for they were derived
from parties who had been observing him,
but Jackson could not make him believe
anything of the kind. He was taken to
the police office and detained until he had
pulled himself together Fortunately for
the Chief, Health Officer Ferral, who also |
rooms in the Arcade, noticed that Jackson
had left his door open, and his property at
the mercy of any passer-by, and he took |
charge Of it.
WANTED AGAIN.-Three or four months
ago two Germans, named Joseph Habel
and Gottleib Frank. who had been in bust |
ness here as proprietors Of pickle factory, |
were complained against at Police head
quarters by q citizen, who accused them Of !
grand larceny in appropriating chest of
valuable tools belonging to him, and carry
ing them away from the city. Warrants |
We're sworn out, and Chief Jackson sue
ceeded in having the fugitives arrested at
Los Angeles, from which place he brought |
them back. They succeeded in making a |
| good showing 10 friends and in the Police |
| Court, and were discharged Habe has
since then borrowed sums of money, in |
amounts from $50 down, promising to
| make payment when he should receive his
| fortune of $4,000 from Germany This |
| fortune, he took pains to say, II. J. Goethe, |
| of this city, and the German Consul al San |
| Francisco. were looking after in his inter-
est. Lately Habel and Frank disappeared, |
and their acquaintance, comparing notes, |
| found that those who had allowed Mr.. |
| Habel to persuade them to open their |
| purses We're numerous, $50 being about the |
average loss Inquiry of Mr.. Goethe and |
| the German Consul showed that those gen
| tlemen knew nothing OF any large sum of |
| money being due Habel, nor had they in
| tereSted themselves in him. The result is |
| that warrants have been sworn out charg- I
| ing label and Frank with grand larceny |
and embezzlement. Franks offense con- |
sists mainly in being Habefs chuu and |
companion, and presumably his assistant. |
Ii they are arrested and brought back to !
this city there will probably be large !
number of interested Germans in the Court |
| room on the occasion of their examination. |
FIRE.-About twenty minutes past 10 |
| last night it was discovered that the two
| story frame building on the southeast cor
ner of Front and \ streets, occupied by |
Martin Colombo, as 4 saloon down stairs |
and boarding house above, was on fire in |
| the rear portion. An alarm was quickly |
given, and Mr.. Colombo and his family |
were aroused from their slumbers, but the |
| fire, which began in the kitchen, spread |
| so rapidly that they were unable TO save
much Of their apparel. The firemen sue
! ceeded in preventing other buildings from
| igniting. and confined the fire to the upper
part and the rear of the building in which
it originated, but those portions were de-
| stroyed, together with all their contents. |
Mr.. Colombo stated that he was insured, |
| but not to a sufficient amount to cover his |
| loss. He has no idea how the fire started. |
| The saloon was closed about half-past g
and the family could not have been in bed
very long before the blaze broke out. The I
building belonged to the John McIsaacs
estate, and the property was soon to be sold |
| for the benefit of the heirs. 1t was very
old structure-in fact, q portion OF it is said |
to have been shipped here around the !
Horn, in early days-and has experienced |
| many vici5situdes of fortune, and escapes |
from destruction by fire. 1t was insured.

vig0r than eloquencc: " Oh, to - with the |
