ANNOYED BY PETTY THEFTS.
He Leases a Stable From the
MuSSiOS.
HIS LANDLORD UNDER SUSPICION
Confirmed by a Visit to Police
Quarters, Where the Stolen
Goods Are Identified.

The MuSsios own a residence on Mid
way, and just around the corner on Bay
street stable. George W. Lucy, the dray-
man. is the lessee of the stable. He has
had possession of the stable for the last
three months or more, but the lease has
not been of profit to him.
From the very beginning of the lease
Mr.. Lucy as constantly been annoyed by
petty pilferings, and as greatly puzzled to
account for his losses.
Recently there came development, and
Mr.. Lucy believes that bis landlord has
that he was possessed of the missing
articles.
When the detectives raided the Music
residence, they found stock of almost
everything which would outfit general
store. They declare that the home of the
Mussios was a "fence" for all North
Beach. Pretty nearly all of the members
of the Music family have been, or are
now, under arrest for receiving stolen
goods.
These arrests came as a surprise to the
neigh bOrhoOd, for the Mussios are we'll to
do. They own property and are landlords
in small way.
Many of the articles taken from the
Music residence have been identified by
their owners.
When these accounts were published
Mr.. Lucy. the drayman, believed he had
found where the missing articles taken
from his drays had gone. He went out to
police quarters and there identified a DOT-
ton of the goods.
What he lost was not of large value, ag-
gregating perhaps $40, bat as the goods
were LOST while in his keeping Mr.. Lucy
had TO make the amount good.
Lucy does the drawing for SchweitZer &
CO., importers and jobbers in fancy goods.
THIS is the story he tells:
II leased the stable something more
than three months. Frequently it hap
pens that we have so much draying to do
that all or the goods cannot be delivered
in day. The drays then drive TO the sta
BILE with their loads and delivery is made
the next morning. l began to miss small
articles from the drays Just after | began
TO use the stable. The value OF the arti-
cles taken at any one time was not great,
but the thing was annoying. l suppose in
all about $40 worth of goods were taken.
II was puzzled &c account for the pilfer-
ing. OF course | had TO make good the
losses. l knew that my drivers were hon
est. had every confidence in them and
was sure that they were innocent of any
wrong.
shortly before the Mussios were ar
rested as one of the drays stood in front of
he stable early one morning n lady near
by saw a boy take q package from the
dray. He disappeared in the direction of
the Music home. The lazy told me. This
aroused my suspicious. When the arrests
were made and !he facts published that
goods taken from the Music home had
been identified. l went ont to the notice
station and [ there identified some of the
goods which had been taken from my
drays."
Mr. Lucy added that it would be very
easy to establish the identity of the goods
by the store numbers and markings, and
that ono of the statesmen of the firm for
which he does the draying would go out to
the police quarters and complete the iden-
LITIGATION.

RoBT. TnEDY's EXPERIENCE.
His Lasso Gets Caught in the
Jackson-Street Cable.
HE is DRAGGED ALONG A BLOCK.
The Rope Is Severed by an Over
hanging Pulley and He Is
More Scared Than Hurt.

1t will be long time before Robert
Thedy plays cowboy again. He lives with
his parents at 1919 Hyde street, and had
an experience on Christmas day that will
last him for lifetime.
Like good many other Western boys
Robert has a great admiration for the
daring cowboy. and he aud several other
companions have been tor a long time
practicing the art of throwing the lasso
with dexterity and skill.
They would tie one end of a clothes
line tightly around their waists, wind the
other end with loop round and round
their right wrist and throw it at each other
for hours at time. Success was attended
with the envy and admiration Of their less
fortunate companions.
On Christmas day Robert and several of
his companions were practicing as usual
on the corner of hyde and Jackson streets.
Robert made throw at one OF the other
boys. but the loop missed him. By some

head, and to the CONSERVATION If the other
boys he was dragged along Jackson street
at six mile per hour gait.
The rope glided along the channel and
Robert with the other end tied securely
round his waist followed it, rolling over
and over. sometimes on his back and
sometimes on his face.
The shrieks OF terror from the other
boys were heard by the residents on the
block. They looked out OF their windows
and were amazed to see the rope praDcing
along and a 10y being dragged after il.
They rushed from their houses and ran

their pocket-kniVeS as they ran 10 cut the
rope.
just as the rope reached Larkin street it
was fortunately cut in two by one of the
overhanging pulley wheels and Roberts
further progress was stopped. He lay on
the ground, and the crowd that had been
following him thought he must be dead
But after a minute or two he rose TO his
feet, rubbed big lump on his forehead
with his hand, aud ln answer to anxious
inquiries said he was all right. His clothes
were torn and his arms and legs were
bleeding by the skin having been peeled
off. His great anxiety after he got over
his scare was that his parents should not
be told of what had befallen him as it
would spoil their Christmas.
If Roberts bones had not been supple
the chances are be would have been seri-
ously injured. He Is oplv years of age.

ALL MAPPED OUT.
Street Sweeping Put on
a Firm Basis.
Merchants Association VIII Set to
Work a Night Gang on the
Dirtiest Streets.

The work of cleaning the streets has now
reached such fine point that it is nearly on a
scientific basis. Maps have been made out by
the Merchants Association which exactly To-
cate all dust and dirt. In fact. the work has
been so systematiZed that scarcely any trouble
should be experienced in keeping the thorough
fares in proper trim.
In the first place map OF the pavements,
go I'd and bad. has been made, showing the diff
ferent kinds of substances used in their forma-
tion. The assoc iation does not feei that the
time has arrived for crusade against cobble-
stones. but il is preparing itsslf for wholesale
attack on the miserable powders when are
called paVements. The map was drawn up in
order TO give the merchants an accurate idea
of the exact condition of affairs.
Map2 enables the association TO ascertain
the amount of work done each day. Reports
are sent in by the bosses of the several crews
stating the ground covered during the day. By
referring TO this guide the association can tell
exactly where work should be done on the fol
lowing day. This arrangement was a very
thoughtful one. Not only Is a vast amount OF
time ana trouble saved. but also this plan pre-
vents any streets from being neglected.
The third shows the amount of sweeping
different sections of the city need. Some parts,
particularly the business portions REQUIRE
more attention than others. For instance all
those streets north OF Sacramento and east of
Montgomery are found TO be the dirtiest in the
city, and moreover. the hardest 10 clean, not
because of the enormous Accommodations OF
debris bu' on account of The number of teams
continually standing along the sides OF the
streets during business hours.
An effort has been made to gather up the
dirt during the daytime, but il has been
futile. a gang of men Will now be put on
working all night. If this change works
well all obstacles will be overcome in The
line of sweeping.
A circular will be sent out by the asso-
citation TO the merchants doing bushes
in this district praying that they be little
mnre careful in depositing garbage in the
highways. The association finds that the
fish-markets are very careless in this re-
spect. and perhaps il a word of caution is
dropped them change for the better may
result.
In consequence of putting on a night
gang the all-day labor will be increased
on all the streets running north ana south
between Drumm and Mon igomery. and on
all streets running south from Mission to
Folsom between Third and Sixth streets.
The following subscriptions have been
recently received at the Merchants Asso-
ciatiOn's Headquarters:
