Fields Got or Easy.

In the Police Court yesterday morning
Dan Fields withdrew his plea of not
guilty and admitted that he stole hat
from Mr.. Jessup at the Y. NJ. C. A.
rooms. Fields was drunk at the time.
Acting City Attorney Post thought
Fields was not real criminal and was
trying hard to put the serpent under foot,
and therefore he recommended a light
punishment. Judge Buckley fined
Fields 50, which was paid.

Arrest of Two Men Suspected of Steal
ing Beaver Skins.
John and Alex. Lambert are anguish
ing behind the bars in the County Jail.
The charge against them is grand larceny,
committed on Sherman Island. The
prisoners live in Alameda County, but
have an ark and follow the profession
of hunting in the winter time, going up
and down the river as occasion serves.
A number of articles have been stolen
at different times from various places
along the river, but the blame has been
laid on the Cinnamon living along the
river. Clews were, however, obtained
which fastened suspicion on the Lam
berts. The matter was placed in the
hands of Constable Brissel, but the
birds were too wary, and he returned
without a sight of them. He made such
arrangements, however, that if they put
in an appearance at certain places De-
tectives Shorey and Holland could be
notified to capture them.
The plan succeeded, and John Lambert
was captured some days ago, but the
other got wind of the danger and escaped
By clever decoy message, however, he
was induced to put in an appearance
which placed him in custody.
The property stolen consisted of twenty
four beaversk1ns, valued at Sl6S, which
were stolen from John Gillistrand on
March 18th. The latter, having reason to
suspect the Lamberts, swore out war
rant for them. 1t was found that one of
the skins had been sold in San Francisco
and the rest shipped East. The one sold
in San Francisco was identified and de-
scription given of the men who sold it.
Brissel thinks he has clear case against
the men. One of them is married and has
twelve children, and is a property
in Alameda County. The other is single
