OVER THE ROOF.
How Frank Daniels Was
ViCtimiZed.
He Paid Five Dollars TO See Fight,
but Was RazZle-D -Dazzled by
the Boys.

Frank Daniels. the sturdy little comedian
who, as DIR. Cupid, has delighted so many
audiences of late, was a very much crest
fallen individual late last Saturday night.
He had been walked over the roof" and
felt decidedly cheap over 1t, because he
considered himself quite fly enough for any
practical joker who might have had de-
signs on him UP to that time.
To the men about town the "walking over
the roof business is nothing new, and as
matter of fact 1t has been pract iced so long
here that it lately has become unpopular
because it was considered chestnut.
Nearly every man around town had been
fooled that way, and the only vi rtims now
available are occasional visitors from the
ben lighted regions on the other side of the
Rocky Mountains.
The walking over the roof is the nven-
tion of gang Of "the boys" who have a
great deal Of leisure time and are always
full of mischief.

Of Grant avenue, which has flight of stairs
leading directly TO the roof from the side
walk.
All the adjoining houses are Of an equal
height and the roof area covering them all
Is quite exteDsiva-in fact covering nearly
the whole block known as the Blythe block.
little alley runs from Market into
Gerry street at the end Of this block, and
from this alley there is another flight of
stairs leading up to that vast expanse of
roof.
The scheme the boys Invented long ago
was to take some unsuspeetng Individual
into their confidence and TO tell him Of some
awful wicked business which is going on
and is kept deeply secret.
II the victim shows any sign of curiosity
they tell him that for a consideration

mysteries so carefully hidden from public
view.
Then he is walked uD the Market-street
steps at night and over all these roofs. often
ID stocking feet, around cnimneys and over
telegraph wires, round and round again,
cautioned continuously TO keep quiet or he
would ruin the whole expedition.
When the jokers think that the man has
been punished enough they head for the
other stairway and walk him out into the
alley, where everybody sets up loud laugh
and the stranger acknowledges that he has
been successfully duped.
This IS what happened TO Frank Daniels.
On Saturday one of his best local friends
told him there would be prize-fght for

BUCHER ON TRIAL.
An outgrowth of Brewery Workmen's
Troubles.

lIOGUtCS.
The troubles between the United Bre very
Workmen'o Association OF the Pacific Coast
and the Cooperative Brewery OF San Fran
cisco were aired in Judge Jonehimsen's
court Yesterday.
Frank Bueher, general secretary Of the
WoTkmen's Association, was on trial on
the charges OF assault with deadly weapon
and carrying a concealed weapon. The
complainant is Constant Harth. mem ber
OF the Cooperative Brewery.
The charges arose out of q fracas that
occurred at the headquarters OF the Work
mems Union, 1159 Mission street, on the
night of February % last.
Attorney Hutton, who Is president Of the
Cooperative Brewery, appeared for the
prosecution ana Attorneys Castlehun and
Frye for the defendant.
During the cr0sS-eXamination of August
Gueuing, one Of the witnesses, Attorney
Hutton asked him If he was an anarchist.
Attorney Castlehun objected to the Ques-
tiOn, and during the argument the court
remarked. smilingly, to Attorney Hutton:
Il should think you would know more
about that class OF people than the Witness"
Attorney Hutton warmly repudiated the
charge and retOrted that the Judge knew a
good deal mOle about them than he lid.
The court subsequently apOlogiZei, re-
marking that he only meant it as joke.
The question was allowed. and witness
replied that he was not an anarchist.
Now" said Attorney Hutton, "Were
you not one OF the thirteen men who held
secret meeting about three weeks prior to
the trouble and drew lots as to which Of You
would Kill Fulrman ?"
Attorney Castenun objected, and the
court Instructed the witness that he need
not answer the question if he thought it
would tend to degrade, disgrace or in
criminate him, bnt If he refused 10 answer
he would be required to give his reason for
such refusal.
He went answer, said Attorney Hutton.
The question was again asked the witness,
and he gave an emphatic "Na. sir"
The further hearing Of the cases win take
place today.
Thurman, the man referred TO as being
the victim of the thirteen. was general
secretary of the Workmen's Association
prior TO the appointment Of Bucher, the
defendant.
