Result of Rough-and-Tumble Scrap
in the Mud.
Repeated calls were received at the po-
lice station about noon yesterday asking
that officers be sent to quell riot that
was in progress at Front and n streets.
officer Ahern and Special Balse imme-
diately responded in the patrol wagon,
and when they arrived on the spot they
found an object sitting on the curbstone,
but whether or not it was human being
could not be ascertained until the police
station was reached and an investigation
made.
"Handsome'' Brady was called in to
help solve the problem. The object the
officers had to contend with was SO COW
cred with mud that it took Brady almost
an hour, by, the application of warm
water anda sponge, to sluice off the mud.
1t was then ascertained that a man
named Jack Sheehan was at the bottom
of the affair. He was so covered with
mud that his most intimate friends had
been unable to recognize him.
When brought in he was under the in
fuence of liquor, and his appearance
caused Brady to calculate: "Talk about
Brady getting dhrunk! Begorra, l was
niver so dhrunk in all me lite Oh, but
Oi hwy him!"
Brady, however, evinced kindly dis
position toward the unfortunate and in
short time had the mud cleaned out of
his eyes. nose and ears.
Sheehan, who is a stoker on one of the
river boats, said he had little misunder-
standing with a man named Ed Logan,
another stoker, and he got the worst of
it. His condition was evidence enough
that he was telling the truth.
In the melee his forehead and one of
his hands were cut, and they were speed
lily treated to good supply of prison
ointment and bandages.

AS stated in these columns yesterday.
men are constantly arriving in Folsom
in search of employment on the canal
extension. A correspondent writes that
there are at least 200 men camped in and
around that place. The people up there
have been as liberal as they could in Civ
ing these men food, but the drain is be-
coming too heavy.
The men are having hard time now
on account of the weather. Most ofthem
are industrious and anxious to work.
There are enough there now to more
than fill the requirements of the con-
tractor, and the kECoRD-UNIoN advises
men in search of employment to keep
away from Folsom.
One hundred and fifty men will be the
largest number employed. At least forty
men will be taken there by the contractor,
leaving places for only a hundred. and
there are twice as many men there now.
The work will not begin before next
week, at any rate, and nothing will be
done until the rain stops.
Altogether, laborers are advised to seek
employment elswhere than Folsom.

CHIEF RODGERS STATEMENT.

Ahern's Recognition of the Man
Wanted.
Chief of Police Rodgers statement of
what led up to the case is in effect as fol-
lows: He says that Hall came to him last
evening at Fourth and X and told him
that man named Starbird pointing
him OUT was down town and was going
to point out to him (HalD the man who
stood up W. +. Jackson Sunday night.
The Chief told him to go on with Star
bird, which Hall did and the Chief fol-
lowed them to Fourth and l. streets.
Officer Ahern arrived at that time and ac-
companied the Chief Hall and his COM
panion went down l. to Third and thence
TO X and Fourth streets, where the Chief
and Ahern met them.
Hall said: "We could not find him."
During the conversation that ensued the
Chief, not knowing that Hall suspected
Starbird as OF the robbers of Jackson.
made some remark that led Hall to warn
the Chief by touch. The Chief took the
hint and told Hall with a careless air to
meet him Thursday night and loud
enough for Starbird to hear, that they
were on false scent and he had mis-
taken the case. and it was nothing par
ticular.
Hall and Starbird started off but the
latter came back soon and asked the
Chief: ''What is this all about?" That's
all right" replied Rodgers. ''It is an
other party We were talking about. Hall
will explain it. There's nothing involving
you"
Starbird went off, but soon returned
and said to the Chief. throwing his hand
over his back, sam I accused Of any
thing Am l implicated in anything ?"
"You are not" replied the Chief. Hall
will tell you just what he is after. He Will
explain it. You are not implicated in
anything"
They then went off. The Chief knew
by description by this time who it was
Hall wanted, as also did Ahern.
Ahern says that when Hall warned the
Chief by touch, he noticed Starbird turn
very pale. and the man came to him and
said: "What is this all about, Bill? Off

description Of the man. From this the
arrest of Perkins resulted, as above de-
scribed.
THE LITTLE CLEW.
1t appears that on Sunday night Per-
kins, at the saloon at Seventh and Z, had
attempted to change $50 gold piece. He
had treated quite crowd at this place
and offered the money in payment, but
change could not be effected.
When Perkins reached his hand into
his pocket for the money he partly pulled
out purse, but Immediately pushed it
back and worked at it in his pocket until
he got the $40 piece out. There were sew
eral witnesses to this. among them Hall.
When subsequently Hall heard of the
robbery of Jackson he at once suspected
that Perkins was one of the robbers, and
it was that which set him at work to fer
ret out Perkins. He knew that the fel-
low was known to Starbird and hence he
naturally sought his aid in the matter.

found in his house and that the man had
shot him.
When asked who the man was, he re-
piled that he was stool-pigeon, and he
did not know why he had shot him.
Hall is an employe at the railroad
shops. Starbird and Perkins have been
out of employment on the road for a
couple of years.
Much sympathy is expressed for the
family of Starbird. Mrs. Starbird is a
woman in delicate health, with babe
only two weeks old.
