Il Quartet of Footpads Rob Man, but

man who SAID his name was Fay, a
country laborer, came to town yesterday
with something less than fifteen dollars in
his inside pocket, and set out to do the
city. In his rambles he met a party OF
four congenial spirits and treated them
once or twice. Late at night he left X
street saloon and turned the corner of one
of the cross streets, when be was suddenly
confronted by the quartet, and a couple of
them eagerly embraced him, while the
others went through his pockets He thinks
they got four or nve dollars of his hard
earned money.
Fay is evidently something of fighter,
for he was not long in breaking loose from
his captors, and then started in to do them
up individually and collectively. He got
away with couple of them pretty handily,
and when they were subsequently landed
IN the city prison by himself and officer
Ash, one of them looked as if he had been
run through a combined harvester. The
men gave their names as Thomas WEIGH
and Charles Tegler. They were unknown
to the officers, but looked like tough char
acters. At last accounts Fay was out on
the trail of the other two fellows.

CAMPING ON THEIR TRAIL

Young Girl Leaves Convent to Meet
Her Brothers, but Misses Them.
On Sunday evening young lady came
to the police station and asked to sleep
over night. Upon being questioned she
told the following story: Her name was
Ulsie Harcourt, and her age Is years. When
about years old her parents, who now re-
side in Chicago, placed her in a convent in
South San Francisco, where she has lived
ever since. On last Wednesday two men,
whom she claims are her brothers. and who
are now playing in the Goodyear, Cook &
Dillon minstrel troupe-which showed in
this city few nights ago-came to the con-
vent and told her to pack her trunk, ship it
to Sacramento to them, and then come up
on Sunday herself, and they would meet
her at the depot and take her along with
them. She did as requested, and bidding
the Sisters good-by, TOOK the morning train
on Sunday; but her brothers were not on
hand to meet her when she arrived. She
waited around the depot all day in the hope
of finding them, and about dark she made
application to Chief Lee for lodgings
After hearing her story, Chief Lee and
his wife brought the girl to their home, not
wishing to give her quarters in a cell IN the
police station. She appeared quite shy,
and after kissing the family good night she
retired. In the morning she got up before
the rest of the folks and stated to The SER
want that she would take little walk and
be back in short while. This was the
last heard of her during the day.
The girl had no money, and the Chief was
at loss TO know where she had gone. She
stated that her brothers are in the minstrel
troupe playing under the stage name of
Barney and Albert Leitch.
Late last evening the girl called at the
police station again, and stated that she
had been at the depot all day long in the
hope of finding trace of her brothers.
Chief Lee has concluded to send her back
to her home at the Bav this morning.

Welfare of the City.

lately closed was submitted and accepted.

disbursements of So, 1872 II, leaving bal
ance of SS6S 10 cash on hand.
J. NJ. Avery addressed the meeting rela-
tive to the encouragement of manufactures
in the city. He had been talking to party
who thought of starting a slate busir ess
here, and to another who was seriously
considering the establishment OF wooden
mill in Sacramento, he thinking this a
most favorable location for such an enter
prise. The speaker dilated upon the ad-
vantages OF Sacramento as a manufactur-
ing center and insisted that with a proper
interest and expenditure of energy upon
the part of our citizens great many man
ufacturing interests might be fostered in
our midst.
o. w. Erlewine also made very sensible
and patriotic talk, in which he paid espe-
cial attention to the desirability of the citi-
zens awakening from their lethargy, and
bestirring themselves in the matter of aid
ing by their efforts the development of the
city.
Remarks in the same strain were made
by Senator F. r. Dray. The gentleman
animadverted upon the action of the Board
of Trustees in lis action in fixing limita-
ton in the matter of stone walks, where
new walks are laid. He thought that they
should be insisted upon throughout the
city, instead of being enforced merely in
the, business sections. The speaker also
dealt with q number of other practical
themes bearing upon the welfare of the
city.
On motion of D. A. Lindley, the Presi-
dent was instructed to limit to five men,
bers the committees to be appointed for the
present year.

Lewis, Dray, Lindley, Erlewine and DIR.

At the Frauen-Verein picnic at Rich
mond Grove on Sunday, officer Rowland
in trying to stop dispute, was jumped

attempted to renew the quarrel, when the
officer again interfered. crowd rushed

last evening with Steve Lang, who is also
said to have leaning that way, and one
OF them proposed that they retire to the
nearest alley and fight it out The story is
that they went to the alley, that Lang
quickly smashed Green in the face. and
that the battle ended Herewith. At all
events, Green was seen on the street later
with his head in bandages. Green had one
OF his hands broken twice of late in glove

risk fight in that condition.
