FRBIGRP-CAR THIEVES.
How They Carried on Their Systematic
Plundering.
One Captured, and the Others Put on
Their Guard by Premature
Publication.

A short time ago a freight-car was
robbed somewhere between Davisville
and Suisun. Among other freight it con-
tanned consignment of cigars and to-
bacco from San Francisco firm to a firm
in the mountains. and after the robbery it
Yas found that 200 cigars had been taken,
as well as twenty-five pounds of smok-
ing tobacco. The police were notified,
and boy named Charley Johnson, who
has but one leg, was found with box of
cigars in his possession, which he was
trying to sell. He was taken to the sta
tion-house and detained, to see if the ci-
gars were part of the stolen ones.
There being no proof against him he
was allowed TO 60, on his promise to To-
cate the parties who committed the rob-
berry and notify the police, so that they
could be arrested. This he not only failed
to do, but he notified the thieves that the
police were looking for them and they
had better make themselves scarce, which
they did.
The robbery was committed on the 18th
of last month, and Johnson was arrested
the next day with cigars in his possession
AS he did not come back as he had
promised, the police had been on the
LOOKOUT Ior him, and last Friday night
one of the officers saw him on the street
and arrested him.
When taken to the station he made a
. confession to Chief Rodgers and railroad
detective Burke, but would not give the
names of his accomplices. He said that
there were several engaged in the work
and their plan of operations was to break
the seal on the cars and then breaking
open such packages as they wanted,
throwing off the goods to their compan-
ions.
These operations have been carried on
1or some time without the railroad detect
ives being able to gain any clue, but as
johnson had gone over the California
Pacific and other roads a great deal, the
oiheers here had some suspicion OF him,
but no definite proof against him.
The RECORD-U MON was in possession
OF all these facts last Friday, but at the
earnest request of the railroad officers
did not publish them, as it was feared
their publication would prevent them
from capturing the parties wanted. Some
lndiscreet officer, however, gave the
matter away, and it was published on
Saturday.
johnson gave the officers the tip that
enabled them to break up gang of boy
burglars short time ago, and also told
who 1t was that robbed the saloon at the
baseball park recently.

BIG WALNUT DEAL
Three Firms VIII Handle the Southern

P. +. Platt of the w. r. Strong Com
pany returned to this city yesterday
from Los Angeles, where he had been for
several days past representing his COM
pany in a large transaction in walnuts.
The deal was successfully accomplished,
and the papers signed by all interested on

ready sale throughout the markets of the
nlted States and Canada for the entire
product. and already have orders in hand
Tor about 100 tons.
The crop will begin to move early in
October, and bids fair this year to excel
ali previous ones in qnality. The grow
ers Of the Rancnito and Los Nietos dis
trlcts are justly proud of the splendid
reputation their walnuts have earned.
and claim that they are the best grown in
the world.

4 Citizen Who Is Satisfied to Leave

\ story is going the rounds to the eff
feet that while the fire at Twenty-fifth
and o streets was in progress the other
night a thief made descent on resi-
dence in that vicinity and stole some
jewelry, but overlooked a bag of coin
amounting to 81, 500.
The owner Of the house had recently
withdrawn the money from a savings
bank, fearing that all the banks in the
country were going to be swamped, and
believing his money would be safer in
his own hands.

trellis system, the posts being connected
by wires or cord. Therefore, when the
vines are fuu grown and heavy with
blossoms they cause heavy strain on the
trellis, and strong wind affects the
whole system. On Saturday morning,
while the wind was blowing stiffly, some
the posts gave away under the strain
and the result was that about twenty
acres were leveled.
As the hops are notquite ripe there will
be some loss, but 1t is likely that most of
the vines can be raised sufficiently from
the ground to enable the hops TO COM
plete the ripening process.
