Stories of Midnight Attacks Without
ANY Foundation.

The residents in the vicinity of Scott
and Suffer streets were aroused from
their peaceful slumbers shortly after l
O'Clock yesterday morning by the vigorous
blowing Of a police whistle and screams
for help. Police Officers Stills. Duane and
Colman made rush to the spot and found
young man, who gave the name Of Joseph
Readon, lying on the ground in terrified
condition and declaring that he had been
garroted by two 10 otrads.
He said he had been at a party and was
on his way home, feeling jolly, when the
two men rushed upon him out of dark
corner. knocked him down and robbed
him of his money. He screamed for help
and they skipped. The police officers
found that he was unhurt, and after max
ing an investigation of the case they re-
ported to headquarters that Readon had
been drinking heavily with woman in
Coakley's saloon, on Geary street and
Central avenue, and when he left the
saloon he had not a cent in his pockets.
When they saw him and he declared he
had been garroted they report that he was
Iaboring under a heavy jag" and they
disbelieve his story that he was assaulted.
Chief Crowley states that this is the
fourth case Of alleged attacks by fo0tpads
that has been investigated within the
past month and found 10 be either the re-
suit of an ordinary drunken fight or to
have no foundation in fact.

that he had seen man, whom he recog-
zed rs a convict discharged the previous
day, cross the yard and nlaca something IN
a corner OF Gatekeeper Kings garden. He
called to the man, who ran back up the
hill. Alexander fired his pistol in the air
10 stop the ex-convict who redoubled his
speed at the shot. The guard then found a
sack containing four parcels OF opium. left
by the eX-cOnvict
Captain A. F. Berlin and T. c. King
related how they had left one package,
trap, in the spet where the sack was
found. The following morning Sullivan
worked at his usual task in Kings garden.
Guard Nellis was specially detailed to
watch tho convict, but could not observe
Sullivan's movements from his station.
The package of opium subsequently dis
appeared. however, and was discovered
later in the cellar of Kings house. All
the guards were positive thatnO one except
Sullivan could have taken the opium and
that the discharged prisoner left the drug
as prearrangsd between them.
After a long argument, the beard SEN
fenced Sullivan to two months solitary
confiuemrnt. to date from July 10. the date
of the 0ffense, aud the forfeit Of six
months credits. Sonntag opposed the
sentence as too severe. He thought the
evI1once uncon7incing, and remarked that
Sullivan's foolish plea had worked his
conviction. The convict produced num-

Mission-street railroad contractors have

they will save the railroad people lot OF

1t is also asserted that the alarm oc-

Southern Pacific to map out a new line of
tactics for the attainment of its object.
