Broad Daylight = Other Depredations
Reported to the Police.

Bold burglaries in the vicinity of Fillmore
and Union streets have been reported to the
police of late, but no particular depredator
has been as yet apprehended.
Last Sunday afternoon A. C.. Miller and
his bride of few weeks left their home in
the upper fiat at 1904 Fillmore street for
ride to the Preside. At the same time L.
Heywing, a stationer with LIE Count Bros,
who occupied the lower part of the house,
took an outing with his family.
While they were absent burglar OF burg
lars entered the rear portion of the building
by breaking the back door open. They
went through every trunk, drawer or other
possible receptacle of valuableS in short or
der. Four trunks belonging to the Miliers
were broken open and their contents spread
upon the floor.
WEDDING PRESENTS OVERLOOKED.
In their search the thieves obtained a
valuable gold watch. three diamond rings, a
breastpn and earrings the total value of
which amounted to nearly $500. In a closet
near by were the wedding presents which
had but recently been bestowed upon the
happy couple. The burglars will be cha
grined TO learn that they overlooked them
in the confusion of the moment
Mr.. Miller and his wife were seen by a
CALL reporter last evening and we're quite
rejoiced that none of their presents had
glars entered and the manner in which they
worked" the house, and also what treas
ures they missed. After having cleaned
out, as they thought, the Miller fiat the bur-
glars descended to the lower one. occupied
by 7. Heywing and numbered 5006 Fill
more street.
A MAN on TIE LOOKOUT.
oil nd lIy-
anu possessed themselves OF iewelry and
money amounting TO about 500. Among
the things taken was box of fine cigars.
Two bottles of o. z. 5. whisky they drank
and left the bottles with the legend, That's
good stuff ;" inscribed on the bottles.
Mrs. Wilkins, who lives at 3O0S Fillmore
street, has reported to the police that she
saw a man, presumed to be lookout, on
the opposite side OF the street in front of
the house, about 80 o'clock on Sunday
afternoon. He was man about 80 years of
age, were dark dress coat with pepper
and salt pantaloons. He also had on a
Derby hat
Mrs. Williams saw him enter the front
gate of the house that was despoiled and
pass around to the rear. Then she heard
the door broken open. but thinking that he
was some one who lived there she paid no
further attention 10 the matter. She did not
notice any one pass out afterward
OTHER BURGLARIES COMMITTED.
Mr.. Miller states that he was not absent
more than one hour When he returned
with his wife and found that his house mad
been rausacked he notified Detective Har-
per. who lives but one block away on Union
street. That official has been working on
the case since. but has not unearthed The
eulprits.
1t is presumed that the work was done by
the same band which recently visited the
house of William Mooser, an architect of
2709 Pierce street; also the residences of
Messrs. Fahback anu Salisbury, which are
in that vicinity, and j. B. Steele's shoe
maker shop ON Union street, between BUch-
anan and Laguna, three days ago. The loss
in the latter case was about 500 in stock.
The police are entirely at sea as to the
identity of che parties who are doing all
this work. and IL appears to be as hard to
find them as it is to interview Wong All My,
the Chinese murderer.
