SOME POLICE HAPPENINGS
In the Courts and Around the Central
Station
Suspensions Sensation Before the Commiss sion,
The Kidnapping and "Didn't Know 1t
Was Loaded" Cases

The suspension by Chief Glass of Jail
er Collins Officer Shearon and Mounted
Officers Leverich and Mcguire for causes
that were laid before the police comision-
ers Yesterday, has caused much uneasi-
ness end discussion about the central sta
ton. The men are confident Of reinstate-
ment after their examination by the COM
missioners Friday.
Detective Goodman left for Sacramento
asst night to bring back John Harrison
and William Clifford, who are wanted in
this city to answer to charge OF burglary,
committed on the night of April 4th.
On that night they entered the house of
Jacob Schlessenger at 121 South Hill
street. and succeeded in gettig away with
quite large collection of valuable jew
e1ry, large portion of which was in the
possession of the men when arrested in
Sacramento.
There is much dissatisfaction around
the old city hall over the gradually grow
ing conviction that there Is job OH foot
to have the new police station voted by
the council to be erected on the lot on the
corner of Second and San Pedro streets.
The lot is described in the report of the
bids as follows:
By c. +. DeCamp--Seventy-fv feet on
feet north of Second, being about 180 feet
on it's southerly line and about $50 feet
on its northerly line: price, $14,500.
There are no personal reflections on
Mr.. DeCamp, it being considered he is
working on business proposition. but
those interested have their eyes on GER
tain councilmen who are favoring what
the police, almost to man. consider AN
undesirable location, and the cry Of
''job'' and steal" is being quietly raised.
For convenience sake, nearly everyone
prefers one of the lots anywhere near the
courthouse or city hall. SO all three pub
lie builings will be within easy access
and handy to all concerned.
Stewart Comford was yesterday ordered
released by Captain Roe rts. it being ex-
