last night and resulted as follows:
PresIdent-Louis Heuermann.

After the election Mr. Steve
Wolcken presented President
Huermann with beautiful

The Mission Athletic Club was
organized in March, 1890, and at that
time had its club rooms on Presa
street, yet up to February 9th, 1891,
the membership was small and
but little interest seem to
exist in progressing the club.
On February 9th, 1891, there seemed
to brew in the old members new life
and q reorganization was soon effect
ed. New bylaws and constitutions
were drafted and new officers elected
and it's membership began to in
crease. The club occupied the base
ment of the Maverick bank building,
which soon became to small and the
club rented the old Belknap armory
on Losoyo street, which it now occu-
pies. Almost Immediately after
moving into this locality, charter
was filed with the secretary OF state
incorporating the club as an institu-
ton whose purpose 1t is to physically
develop its members and further the
interest," in all true and honest sports,
And since then has been continual

Two Gases of Theft.

Thomas Serda,. giving his name as
Il. Serna, was arrested yesterday
afternoon at o'clock at the o. X.
saloon by Sanitary Officer Flores. He
was charged with being a suspicious
character. When the evidence was
heard In the recorders court this
morning it was found that Serda had
stolen hat and pair of shoes from
q man by the name of Pedro Carton,
who resides on West Commerce street.
The recorder, after hearing all of the
evidence, said it was clear case of
theft and transferred the case to the
Justices court. He was put in charge
of Detective Van Ripper.
About ten days ago the police were
notified that q man by the name of
Johnson had stolen some shirts from
colored wash woman, who
resides on North Frio street,
near Laredo street. An investigation
was made by Officer J. F. Brown,
who made no arrest, not having, at
that time, evidence enough to even
convict the negro of being q sus-
picious character. Last evening
about o'clock, however, he was
arrested by Mr.. Brown and q charge
of suspicion was made against him.
1t seems, from evidence heard In
court this morning, that the fellow
did steal the shirt and that they were
identified by the man who owned
them and who had sent them to this
woman's house to be laundried. The
recorder then transferred the case,
pronouncing 1t clear case OF theft.
