has been tipped so strong for the past
week, succeeded in landing the money to-
day With the tempting odds of to l
against her, it was mere scratch that
she was beaten in her last race. The fast
time made, 1:4l15, is wonderful, as the
track was not fast, and she won easily

w. B. Canon Charged With Misappro-
priating Funds of Hecker q Co.
w. B. Canon was arrested yesterday at
his home at Montgomery and Bay streets,
by Detective Bossell and Policeman Jer-
nigan on a bench warrant issued by Judge
Falligant. He is charged with embezzling
funds from Hscker 81 Co.'s agency here,
by which he was employed as collector.
The embezzlements are alleged to have
been committed during last year, one of
them being in February, which was not
discovered at the time and another a lit
tie later.
There are two indictment against him
found just after Christmas by the grand
jury of the superior court. He is charged
with having taken in all about 81 900, and
just after the last amount was taken he
left the city, when his shortages were
discovered.
He returned to the bedside Of his sick
wife only few days ago, and was himself
taken i'll with malarial fever shortly
afterward. Detective Bossell received
information that some party had been
seen to enter the house at night from a
carriage, and at once made an investiga-
tion into the matter, knowing the indict-
ments had been found. A bench warrant
was procured and he was placed under
arrest. Policeman Sam Davis was left
at the house with the warrant, Canon
being too i'll to be removed to the Jail. He
will remain at home until he has suffi-
GENTLY recovered to be removed An
effort may be made to arrange for him to
give bond within a day or two, so he can
rest easy until he has fully recovered
from his illness. Canon was under bond
by an assurance company, and Hecker 81
Company are not losers by his alleged
EN- beZZlements

A GANG OF BOY THIEvEs.
Policeman Sheehan Makes a Raid on
Part of It.


There is large gang of youthful thieves
who infest the northern section of the
city. They parade the streets in crowds
and watch their opportunity when
no one is looking to slip into
stores and dwelling houses and
snatch up small articles, which they dis
pose Of at the pawnshOps.
Policeman Sheehan nabbed two of the
gang last night He was coming along
Bryan street when he noticed a large
number of negro boys, from IA
to Is years OF age coming away from
the pawnshops in the vicinity of Con-
gress and Jefferson streets. He suspec-
ted mischief and kept his eye on the
crowd. 1t was not many minutes before
he saw seven or eight of them dash
into a small bakery on Bryan
street, near Montgomery, and
begin Selling whatever they could
lay hands on. He ran to the place and
succeeded in catching two of the largest
of the youngsters, whom he sent to the
barracks in the police wagon. One APP
peared to be about Is years of age and the
other about Is. AT the barracks they
gave their names as George Mitchell and
William Grown
The gang which Policeman Sheehan
saw was probably part of that which
had been hanging around the ruins of the
grocery fire all day and appropriatng
whatever they could lay their hands on
that appeared to- be of any value, such as
bottles of wine and beer and canned
goods that were only partially damaged.

In Progress.

ruins of Mondays fire, and the smoke
continues to roll upward from the ruins
Small fires in various parts of the ruins
were still burning last night.
All the remaining portions of the walls
on Bay street, and a large part of the
walls on River street were pulled down
under the direction of Assistant
City Marshal Kelly yesterday.
There is good deal of this
work, however, remaining to be
done The Central railroad will not
be able to use its River street track until
the overhanging walls on that street are
torn down and the debris removed.
A large crowd of boys, white and
black, hung around the ruins all day
appropriating anything in the way of
bottled and canned goods that they could
get at along the edge of the ruins. The
workmen around the ruins feasted on
boiled ale and baked sardines.
