would take in the fake shows ana dead
falls on ID street. After the excitement of
the shows was over he began to patroniZe
the saloons and swallowed more whisky
than was good for him.
Between 8 and O'Clock in the morning
he engaged hack to take him to Sixth
and Market streets. The hackm an.
Thomas Gagon, charged him 81 80. As
soon as Mexon got seated in the hack he
fell asleep ana was Weakened by Gagon go
ing through his pockets at the corner of
Grove and Broderick streets, where Gsgon
had pulled up. Mexon showed fight and
in the struggle they got out of the hack
onto the sidewalk. Mexon yelled for help
and his cries Nere heard by w. n. Snow
ana his wife who live on the corner.
Snow pulled open his front window and
on looking out saw the two men strug-
CLING on the sidewalk. He pulled on his
panialoOns and ran downstairs.
When Gagon saw him he jumped on his
hack and covered the hack number with his
hand. but not before Snow saw it was
No. 10.
That's all right. young fellow" said
Snow, I've got your number"

roughly handled, upstairs 10 his house and
washed the blood from his face and ar
ranged his clothing. MeXon told him he
had been robbed of S45. He would not
remain at SHOWS all night, but insisted
upon going downtown. He had not gone
far when he was picked up by milkman,
who drove him along till they met a police
man and the officer took him to the Receiy-
ing Hospital. The doctors did not know
what 10 make o. his case, but put him 10
bed and marked opposite his name on the
register, doubtful" He is still in the
hospital.
On Saturday afternoon Mr.. Snow re-
ported the robbery at police headquarters,
and Detectives Gibson and Coffey were
on Geary street last evening and took him
to the City Prison. where he was booked
on the charge of robbery.
Gagon'S brother owned the hack, but as
he was sick on Friday Tom drove il for
him. 1t was the first occasion he had
driven a hack. and when Mexon changed
4 $50 gold piece to pay for the drinks
before they started from ID street, he
thought he would make hay while the
