He Ventured Into the River, Not
Knowing How to Swim.
Yesterday afternoon George Brannan.
a-young man employed in John Blacks
cracker bakery on Front street, went
fishing with George, Charles and Martin
Ludwig, down the river, near Merkley's
ranch.
The day being hot, they concluded to
take plunge in the river. although none
OF them could swim. The result was
what might have been anticipated. Bran
nan got out beyond his depth and went
down. one OF the others tried to help
him and barely escaped sharing his fate.
Brannan was about 26 years old and
was we'll liked by his employer and
those associated with him. lie was
from San Francisco and lived, it is
thought, on Brannan street. Graphing
hooks were brought into requisition,
but at last accounts his body had not

Unofficerlike Conduct.

John Peruchini Charges Him With
Unofficerlike Conduct.
Charges have been preferred by John
Peruchini, the Italian interpreter, against
Police officer Robert Ash. The latter is
accused of having applied opprobrious
epithets to Peruchini and using threaten
ing language, all of which Peruchini de-
clares to be "unbecoming police off,
cer.'
On the other hand, Ash states that be-
cause he arrested relative of Peruchini
the latter followed and interfered with
him while in the discharge of his duty.
He also said that Peruchini used vile
language concerning him, at the police
station, and that it was not until then
that ne gave his accuser a piece of his
mind.
AS Peruchini has asked the Trustees to
dismiss Ash from the force, there will
probably be an investigation of the case.
