GIBSON RE-ARRESTED
On a Charge of Being implicated
i'm a Burglary.

Two OF Chief Cuddy's private de-
tectives, March and Berry, yesterday
afternoon at about q O'Clock rear
rested Gibson, who was charged with
being implicated in the Lordsberry
post office robbery and the alleged
accomplice of Prendegast. The ar
rest was made at the Electric Light sa-
loon, and the officers started with their
prisoner to the police station. When
the corner of Fort and First streets
was reached the prisoner made a
break for the Mayors Office and was
collared by both the officers. One of
the Mayors detectives, Garrett,
happened to see the struggle
and interfered. He insisted that
if the prisoner desired to see the
Mayor he should have the right to do
so. Detectives Marsh and Berry de-
MED the right of Garrett to interfere
and were inclined to take their man
to the station, but wishing to avoid a
scene and the charge of dealing un-
fairly with their prisoner, they con-
sented to take him before the
Mayor before proceeding to the station.
Arriving at the Mayors Office Gibson
stated that he was arrested solely for
the reason that Marsh accused him
and Prendegast OF furnishing the in
formation that led to the dismissal
of Detectives Lynch and Donahue.
Gibson's captors then proceeded to
the Station, where he was incarcer-
ated. Detective Marsh, when inter
viewed about the matter, stated that
he had found witnesses to convict
Gibson of burglary, and therefore
he made the arrest. Among the
new witnesses is one of the boys
arrested on Thursday for burglarizing
a tobacco store on First street. One
of these youthful thieves is ready to
testify that he received $40 for hold
ing the team used in moving the safe.
Gibson was seen and stated that he
was innocent and that there was job
put up on him by the detectives.

WAR ON THE CHINESE.
Tan Players Raided- Various
other Arrests.

Tan Players Raided- Various
other Arrests.
To be about the police station yes
terday was convincing that war had
been declared against the Chinese.
1 he minions of the law seemed "to
have it in" for poor John, and at
times the station was alive with al
mond-eyed Celestials, some in the
scope of protesting prisoners and
others as friends who came to help
their comrades in distress.
All Sing and Ah Kim were hauled
in during the "wee hours" of the
morning by Officer Murphy, the one
for violating the garbage ordinance,
and the other for offering the officer
bribe.
Yek Hun and All Yak were fright
ened nearly out of their wits by being
apprehended for grand larceny. The
charge was stealing horse and wag-
on. They succeeded, however, in con-
vincipg his Honor, Judge Austin, that
it was all mistake, and were released.
The way it all came about was as
follows: Yek Han and All Yak, two
industrious sons of the Orient, desired
to do some hauling, and went to a
ellow-Chinaman, who was the owner
OF horse and wagon and desired
the use OF his rig. Consent was OBJ
tanned and they went to the spot
where the animal and vehicle were
supposed to be at their service, It
was good enough an outfit for them
and they did not stop to
observe closely whether it was
their friends property or not.
Not long after they had driven off,
George Birunski, a citizen of Pasa-
dena, discovered that some one had
removed his horse and wagon from
San Pedro street, where he had left
them. He reported at once to the po-
lice who instituted an investigation ,and
ere long Officer Dillon spotted the two
Celestials afore mentioned in possess
sion of the missing property and or.
rested them. Birunski was sent on
his way rejoicing and the Mongols,
after making satisfactory explana-
tion, we're released.
All CHINATOWN seemed to have been
captured when Officers Bowler and
Roland marched in with twenty-five
diciples of confucius who were
charged with the henious crime of
playing at tan. The 'layout'
was captured at a place on Los
Angeles street that had long
been under suspicion. At last suffic-

rant arrest, and armed with the
proper document Officers Bowler, Bow
land, Hanley and Davis proceeded to
the place and read the warrant
before the door. Being denied en-
trance, they forced admission and
captured the game and all its partici-
pants. All Lum and Lum Cha, the
cashier and dealer were required to
give $500 bonds each, and each OF the
twenty players $40.

Work of the Fire Eienil.

ST. LOUIS, April 2O.-Thorough
search Of the ruins of the Bethel
Home fire resulted in the finding of
the bodies OF three men. In the hos
.pital, burned and bruised, are four
others. The origin of the fire in un-
known, although it is believed to have
come from the pipe of a sleeper on
the second floor. The fourth and
fifth stories were occupied by about
seventy dodgers, forty of whom were
colored, sleeping on the fifth floor.
Three white men were asleep on the
fourth floor. Yesterday seems to
have been day OF general debauch,
for most of the men seem to have
been aroused from their drunken
stupor with difficulty, and found their
exit cut off from the stairway. A
negro found rope at the fifth story
hall window and gave tidings to the
others imprisoned on the floor. AS
he slid out of the window to the pave
ment there was general scramble
for the window, and half dozen
men at time came down the rope
hand over hand, while there was a
struggle at the window by the frantic
men pursued by the flames.

the unshaken belief that these
communications really came from the
ancient worthless whose names they
bore, through Nine. Diss de Bar, as
did the portraits of Shakespeare and
Claudius, the Roman Emperor, and
Adelaide Nelson, the actress, notified
him in advance through a medium
that he would receive the Shakespeare
portrait, and 80 Marsh continued his
remarkable tale, going into the details
of the production of the various paint
ings and communications in manner
which conclusively proved his un-
shaken belief in the supernatural
character of Nine. Diss de Bars per-
