The Police Crusade Being
Kept Up.
Four of the Fraternity Arrested in
a Saloon on Ellis Street While
Working Stranger.

The police crusade against the visiting
bunkO men and sure-thing gamblers goes
merrily on, and officers Cleary and Allen
are rapidly building up their records for
arrests.
Fred l.. briggs, who arrived here about
a week ago from Hillsdale. Mich, was in a
saloon on Stock ton street yesterday after
noon a bout O'Clock when a mddle-aged
man entered into conversation with him
and begun to talk about the work of the
Young Mems Christian Association. in
which be said he was deeply interested.
He had adroitly ascertained that briggs
was also interested in the work. In due
course briggs was invited to take a walk
to the corner of Mason and Ellis streets to
see the progress being made on the associa-
TONS new building.
On the street they were joined by we'll
dressed young man with a blonde mus
tache who was also Identified with Chris
tian work, and after viewing the new
building it was suggested the three should
adjourn to the saloon lis Ellis street for
refreshments.
They went TO the saloon and after par
taking of drink the midde-aged man sng-
gested they should retire TO room and
have a quiet game of cards. Up to this
time briggs had no suspicion of the true
character of the two men, and just as he
was preparing to leave the saloon Cleary
and Allen entered and arrested them and
two others.
The officers had been watching the place
for some days and knew what was in the
wind when they saw briggs being steered
in that direction.
The mlddle-aged man was recognized by
the officers as 5. Novelle, well-known
buDko man, who was sentenced to six
months imprisonment for vsgrancy some
time ago, but got the option of leaving the
city at once. He chose the latter course
and will now have to serve his sentence.
The other three are recent arrivals from the
East. They gave their names as Charles
Frost, Henry Gaynor, Harry Wheeler and
Charles Baker. Baker was the young man
with the blonde mustaebe who Joined
Novelle and briggs on the street.
The four were taken to the City
Prison, where charges of vagrancy were
entered against them. When searched a
com plete bunko layout. comprising checks,
bogus bank notes, chips and cards, was
found in their possession.

THE IDLEWILD MINE.
Another Lawsuit Won by the Ches-
ter Estate.

ter Estate.
Presiding Judge Sanderson has given
Judgment for the defendant in the case of
Roberts VS.. Ball.
This action was brought by w. G. Rob-
erts against A. Z. Ball, as administrator
of the estate of E. S. Chester, deceased.
and principally concerned the ldlewild
Gold Mining Company, in which Roberts,
Chester, A. Z. Straut and a man named
Brown held the controlling interests.
Origin ally Roberts and Chester were part
ners in an enterprise called the Taylor
Mill and Mining Company. and Straut
purchased 11-40 OF the stock for $40. 0OO
Then the shares were pooled AMI the Tay-
lOr Company merged into the Idlewild
Mining Company, Roberts being allowed
1900 shares.
Soon alter this there was some litigation
between the Idlewild Company and w. S.
and b. W. Chapman, which was compro-
missed by the Chapmans paying up S24. 600
Ii was over tie distribution of this money
that the trouble arose. Roberts claimed
that the Chester estate was only entitled
to some 5000 and that he was entitled to
the balance. He repudiateo the arrange
ment by which the Taylor Mill Company
became merged in the Idlewid Company.
On the other hand Mr.. Bail main tain ed
that the S24, 600 must be divided propor-
tiOnately between Chester, Roberts, Straut
aud Brown.
Judge Sanderson took this view and
found for the defendant. He said that
Roberts showed his acQuiesence in the
arrangements by accepting the $500 shares
of Idiewild stock allotted to him.

WILL BOX EIGHT ROUNDS.
Mitchell aud Ryan Are Ready to Re-

Young Mitchell, the champion middle
weight of the coast. and Jim Ryan, very
clever middle weight of Australia, who
made his first appearance at the Grand
Opera-house at a recent fistic exhibition,
will try conclusions in Oakland on Fri
day evening in an eight-r0und bout.
Ryan has been training for this contest
for some weeks and Judging from the way
he punched a clever amateur heavy
weight few days ago in a practice setto
Mitchell will need to be in good trim if he
expects to receive e satisfactory decision
at the end Of the contest.
Strange to say Ryan has a number of
supporters who will back him strongly in
this match because he is in splendid condi-
ton, and so far as cleverness is concerned
his friends rank him IN the same class with
Mitchell.
The Californian, WHO has yet to meet his
master, allows that Ryan is an exceedingly
shifty and polished boxer, but when it
comes to delivery of hard goods Mitchell
thinks that he can go one better than the
Australian. However that may be, the
proof of the pudding will be determined
on Friday evening.
Prior TO the boxing event Dan Mcleod
the famous Scotch wrestler. will essay to
throw Vincent White five times within

A CUTTING AFfRAY.
WAITER B. HOPTON, OF BELLLSVIILT, o.
TBE VICTIM.
James Walker Case, a Cigar Maker, Of East
Wheeling, Welded The Knis-Fs Was
Arrsssd and Sent to Jail-0thsr
Criminal Matters.

Yesterday afternoon about half-past
three O'Clock a cutting ARRAY occurred on
the steamer Liberty, at the wharf, which
came very nearly resulting seriously for
one of the men involved.
The Injured man was Walter B. Hopton,
Of Beallsville, o., and his a%ssailant was
James W. Case, a cigar maker, living in
East Wheeling. Both men had engaged
passage upon the boat for down the river,
and on going on board became involved in
a quarrel. Case says Hopton struck him,
while the latter denied the assertion, and
said Case was the aggressor. Be this as
it may, Case drew a rather large pen
knife and made a number Of slashes at
Hopton, badly cutting his coat in the re-
gion of the heart and also along one
arm. Hopton succeeded in escap-
ing injury from these attempts 10 carve
him, but was not so lucky in avoiding an
other stroke of the knife, which entered
his left groin, making rather a bad wound.
The police were informed OF the matter
and the men were arrested and taken 10
the City Hall, where DR.. Dickey dressed
Hopton's injury, and, after being bonded
on his own recogniZance TO Apyear at a
hearing before Justice Gillespy, Friday Of
the coming week, he was allowed TO go,
and departed with the boat. Case was
held in $5U0 bail, and not finding a bonds
man, was committed 10 Jail. 1t Is thought
there was an old feud between the two
men.
