STRUCK IT RICH.
A Traveller Falls mong Thieves and
Loses Pile of Money.

A Traveller Falls mong Thieves and
Loses Pile of Money.
1t is not SO much of mystery, after ALL
how the army of toughs and thugs in this
city manage to exc out an existence among
the dives. Scarcely night passes that men
with more money than sense are robbed
while drunk, and cases of this kind are
constantly occurring that are never brought
to the notice of the police.
Occasionally the thieves strike it rich
when ranch employees come to town to
spend their months earnings, as they man.
age 10 make good big hauls without much
effort or risk. The victim is piled with
liquor till he reaches condition of CON-
parative helplessness, and then he is
drugged, robbed and rolled into the gutter.
Once in a while traveller tarries too long
here and falls under the seductive influence
of the gin bottle, and drops a wad of green
backs in some robbers roost. A case of
this kind was reported yesterday. The VIC
tim told the police that he was on his way
to the East, but stopped here to take look
at the place. Like g great many others,
he had no difficulty in finding the dive Sec
ton of the city. There he fell in with a
tough lot of females, who. he says robbed
him of $500 in coin. He still had check
for S765, payable IN Missouri.
Officers were sent out with the plucked
chicken TO see if he could find the place
where he was robbed.

THE Suffers FORT DEED.
senator Stanford Contributes the Balance
Needed to Secure 1t.

Needed to Secure 1t.
In perusing yesterday mornings RECORD
UNION Senator Stanford noticed the article
referring to the purchase and restoration of
the Suffer Fort property-that time hon.
ored Landmark of early California history
which fiourished in the early years when
he was actively engaged in mercantile life
in this city. The Senator was much i'm
pressed with the work which had been
done by the Native Sons and others, and
expressed his surprise that he had not been
called upon to subscribe to the fund, say
ing that he would consider it an honor to
be represented in the furtherance of such a
worthy object. The article in question,
however, mentioned the fact that the total
amount necessary had not been fully Sc
cured, and, for that reason the deed had
not vet passed into the hands of the Native
Sons. During yesterday afternoon. while
the citizens we're paying their respects to
Senator and Mrs. Stanford at their resi-
dence, the Senator, in conversation with
ex-Mayor Eugene j. Gregory, Treasurer of
the Suffer Fort Committee, brought up the
matter, and asked with reference to the de-
ficiency mentioned. Upon receiving a re-
ply in the affirmative he at once author
ICED Mr. Gregory TO go ahead and secure
the deed; that he would cheerfully SUBJ
scribe whatever balance might be due me-
cessary to complete the full payment for
purchase of the property. 1t is needless to
say that the generous offer was gratefully
accepted, as being indicative OF the usual
Pub ic spirit and magnanimity of Senator
Stanford, who, by the act, showed con-
clusiyely that his heart is in the right place
on everything pertsining TO Sacramento
and her welfare. This graceful act con-
summaries the delivery of that historical
property to the order of Native Sons of the
Golden West, whose labors extend to Sc
curing Safe aid in fully and permanently
restoring the famous fort to its original
condition, and in improving the grounds
into public park.

Burns, the slasher of Roper, Allowed to
Go Without Bail.
John Burns, charged with assault to
murder Arthur Roper Robert Watts, the
cripple, had his case called for the fifth
time in the Police Court yesterday. The
prosecution announced that the condition
of the prosecuting witness was such as not
to permit them to proceed with the exami-
nation.
City Attorney Hart stated, however, that
he realized the discomfort to which the de-
PENDANT was put by the continual postpone
ments of the case, on account of his being
unable to procure bail. He suggested that
Burns be allowed to go upon his own
recognizance, as he believed the defendant
wss man who could be trusted.
Captain Lee remarked that Burns was
the most patient prisoner that had ever
been in the Jail.
Judge Buckley acted upon the suggestion
and released Burns on his own recogni-
zance. The case was set for November Sth.

lie Doesn't Mind Jail Life, But Wouldn't
Miss Election Day.
Ed. Rand, whose familiar countenance
has for the past ten years graced the Police
Court dock with unceasing regularity, was
there yesterday on a charge of being a
common drunkard. Ed. made an earnest
plea for mercy, and asked for light SEN
tence, boldly asserting his loyalty by de-
claripg that he would rather remain in Jail
all the year round than lose his vote on
election day.
Ia view of this circumstance, the charge
was reduced to that of simple drunk, and
a sentence of five days was imposed. This
will give Edward his liberty on election
day and ample opportunity TO get fresh
cargo of China gin on board, so as to be
ready to appear in the Police dock the
next morning.
