DUGAN'S PROPHECY.
1t Is Coming True in Jim Sheri-
dams Case,


Jimmy Dugan, pickpocket, burglar
aud convicted felon, when being tried
for the murder Of James Harris, vowed
eternal vengeance Oh jim Sheridan, the
saloonkeeper whose evidence led to his
capture. When the sentence of life i'm
prisonment was passed upon him he
said that ill luck would forever follow
Sheridan and every person who was in-
strumental in his conviction.
So far as Jim Sheridan is concerned,
Dugan's prophecy has in part come
true. He has lost his saloon, that noto-
rious tap room where the murder of
Harris and countless robberies were
planned. Yesterday morning he was
arragned in the police court, along
with the drnnks, vagrants aud petty
thieves, on the charge of disorderly
conduct. He was charged with Great
ing disturbance on Washington ave.
