HAUNTING TEE TIGER.
Chief Rodgers Orders the Faro Games
All to Shut Down.
The Order Results in a Double-Headed
Raid-AIl Games Were Closed
Last Night.

The faro games over the Bank Ex-
change at Second and K streets were
raided by Captain Bradley at half-past
O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
Bradley succeeded in getting up stairs
and reaching the inner door without be-
ing detected by the lookout, who was
stationed at the head of the stairs, by fol-
lowing up Immediately after some visit
ors to the game. He was detected when
too late, for he succeeded in bursting into
the room, where a commotion ensued.
Two games were running, and about
forty men were in the rooms. The play
ers and visitors Immediately made a
rush for the doors, and at once all was
excitement.
Bradley shouted for everybody to re-
main where they were, and then dis
charged his revolver several times
through a window to summon assistance.
Chief Rodgers ana Officer Ahern ar
rived soon atter, and ten or twelve wit
nesses were taken to the police station,
together with half a dozen dealers and
one of the proprietors.
One of the dealers, John Wesley, fur
nished 500 bonds, and after the witnesses
had been cited to appear in court they
were permitted to go.
The raid was the sequel to a little up
heaval in gaming circles on the preceding
night. II seems that Montenegro II
Silvey, proprietors of saloon at Seventh
and X streets, which has become quite a
resort for members OF the Legislature,
including those of the ''Third House,"
lately opened a faro game near their sa-
loon, and on Wednesday night Chief
Rodgers detailed several officers to close
the game.
Captain Bradley found the officers
guarding the door leading TO the game,
and on learning what they were there for
he took officer Rider and went down
town and ordered the games at Fifth and
X and Second and X streets to close,
which they did, and the tiger did not oc-
cupy its lair that night.
Chief of Police Rodgers says that on
Tuesday he ordered all the games to close,
and all the proprietors promised to do so
except those at Seventh and X streets,
hence his order to the officers to close the
game.
None of the games were running last
night,

A NEW MOVE.


The Humane Society Takes the Initial
tive in the Good-Road Agitation.
The new Directory of the Sacramento
County Humane Society met last even
ing at the society's Office, President r. c.
Irvine presiding, and full board being
present, except Director Hinkson, who is
sick.
The Secretary, w. D. Lawton, reported
a number of cases of cruelty as having
been attended to. The committee to APP
pear before the Supervisors, relative to the
ordinance fixing the size Of coops for
transportation OF fowls, was requested to
appear before that board some day next
week.
The routine business having been dis
posed of the directory took up the ques-
ton of good-road agitation ais directly in
line with its work. The matter was
thoroughly discussed at great length, and
a great many interesting and some start
ling facts brought out, especially by
He presented facts and figures
that cannot now be given in
detail. but which justified these con-
illusions which We're reached by the
board: l. That the people of Sacra-
mento County eXpend money enough
each decade in improper road building,
with the result of no notable improvement
IN roads, which, if properly admins
tered, would give permanent, first
class roads, costing the lowest
known minimum for maintenance.
,. That on an assessment of Sl7 ,0O0-
600 twenty per cent. of the tax
is expended on roads with not five per
cent. of benefit TO roadways. 3. That the
method in Sacramento County of road re-
pairing is so wasteful and uneconomic,
ihat with here and there an exception
does not give 50 on the 500 of good re-
suits. t. That the expenditure of 500, 900
on, say, twenty years credit to construct
100 miles of permanent roads under the
best approved systems, would be greatly
less expenditure than under the present
system for like term, and give us roads
costing probably not one-fourth for
maintenance Of the amount now ex-
pended.
Director Geo. II. Smith pointed out how
large sums can be saved by utilizing I'M
employed labor, under a proper system,
IN preparing road material, and which is
in force in some sections. Director Graf
miller affirmed that the difference be-
tween good, smooth, hard-surfaced roads
and such as prevail, as a rule, upon the
condition, capacity and endurance of ami
mails and vehicles was almost incalcula-
BILE, and Director Payne confirmed the
statement.
Director Woodson gave a sketch of tie
good-road agitation at the East and the
part being taken in it by Legislatures and
the Federal Government and the Eastern
Humane Societies. Secretary Lawton
made some interesting statements con-
corning the condition Of roads in Sacra-
mento County and the present high cost
OF construction and maintenance.
The result of the discussion was the
conclusion that the promotion of good
bodybuilding is directly in line with the
purposes of the society; that the board,
through a committee, will epare me-
mortal upon the subject, fortified by sta
tistics drawn from county records and
the results of the agitation at the East,
and that the same shall be presented TO
the County Supervisors and to the people
at large.

AN HX-CONvfCT
The Man Who Robbed Mrs. Towne |
Operated in This City.

Lie han VINO hODDeu MIS- 1OWne
Operated in This City.
Officer Talbot of this city happened to
be in San Francisco yesterday, and while
there called at the City Prison to see
Jacob Rhinehart. who robbed Mrs. A. n.
Towne on Wednesday of 81, 600.
When arrested after his bold attempt TO
escape with the money, Rhinehart, as he
called himself, said ne was cigar-maker
by occupation, and had come from Los
Angeles but two days ago. He is a
smooth-faced young fellow and rather
good looking. He said he was but 20
years of age and was from Salt Lake
City, where his relatives now reside.
When questioned about his crime he
had little say, and that in a decidedly
surly manner. He denied snatching the
box, and said he had just been out to the
park. He is stranger to the San Fran
cisco police.
As soon as Talbot saw the prisoner he
recognized him as j. Goldman, alias Isaac
Gold n, whom he arrested in this city at
the State Fair grounds 10 1891, together
with George Cartwright
THESE two worthless, it will be remem-
pered, had followed a rancher named NJ.
>. Green from the city to the race track,
and We're Just in the act of picking his
pockets when detected by Talbot and ar
rested. Goldman, alias Golden, alias
Rhlnehart, was convicted in the Superior
Court here in November, 1891, and sem
fenced TO Folsom for one year. Allowing
Tor credits, he must have been discharged
about last September.
Talbot has several photographs of the
young rascal, which he will to-day send
TO the San Francisco police.
