COLONEL BURNS BROTHER-IN-
LAW.

On Friday afternoon in San Francisco
Registrar OF Votes Evans, a brother.in-
law of Col. Dan Burns, broke into the
vault where the election returns of the
city were filed away and could give no
lucid explanation of his action. The
doors had been sealed but the registrar
tore the wax away and tried to open the
doors, but he could not work the COM
bination OF the lock and sent for me-
chanic who opened them. Attorney
Nougues asked this brother-in-law of
Colonel Burns, in whose charge Is put
the vote of San Francisco, what his &C
ton meant and received the following
Burnsesque reply:
SIT means that l intend to get into
the vault because have O right to and
because no one has right to but me; /;
no one but me shall 60 in"
The San Francisco Call in its account
of the matter says:
E7'Whatever the design in breaking
open the safe after it had been locked
aud sealed. Evans gave as his only rea-
son. as stated, that he wanted the stuf-
fers' atfidavits, whereas no one had
asked him for them, and before the safe
was opened Nougues, direct from the
courtroom, told him they were not
wanted. There was something wrong
with the com animation, and the door
would not open. An expert who had
bssn called opened it, and there was
found on the floor of the safe a package
containing the returns from the Four
teenth precinct of the Thirty-eighth
district, upon which the seal had been
broken. Evans sent for the election
officers OF this district with great dis
play of concern. They came, and the
package was sealed with wax and
placed in its box"
THE suffers afidavits were allowed
to remain in the vault, but, every body
having been made thoroughly uneasy
and Suspicious generally that all is not
right with what is in the vault, the door
was again closed and locked, and the
seals again placed upon it.
"What will this man do next?"
On Friday there was more or less un-
certainty regarding the gubernatorial
vote, and to have that uncertainty
added to by having Col. Dan Burns
brother-in-law break into the sealed
vault containing the ballots ia not a
pleasant fact to consider.
Taking it all in all. have not the
decent people of California had about
enough of the Burns family and their
characteristics, in public places?
1t is a matter Of rumor that the
colonel is in Los Angeles at present
perhaps he is on his way to Mexico.
where possibly there will be less tc
trouble him than in California. But he
should take his brother-in.law with him.
The colonel. like some street car con-
ductors, might get into trouble by leav-
ing such articles in sight.
