Two Others Are Pickpockcts Who Are
Badly Wanted by Chief Crowley of the
San Francisco Police

The pickpockets. sure thing men, short
card players, smooth box workers, and all
the balance of the "grafters, are steer
ing toward Los Angeles. Chief Glass has
already given orders that they shall be
''vagged' as soon rs they get here. and
the detectives and policemen are all
watching. But these ''grafters' are pretty
wise people. Ordinarily they laugh at
policemen and detectives and some OF
them are doing that now.
One of them, a tall sickly looking fell
low with yellow hair arfd freckled face,
is sorry he ever hit the town. He tloated
in day or two ago with his parapher-
MALTA OF loaded dice, marked cards, ETC.,
and began looking about for easy"
things. He didn't have to wait very long,
for verdant young Englishman. who
thought he was altogether too clever TO be
swindled, happened to meet the gamole
one day. Phillips, for that is the fellow $
name, or at least he says it is. went
around to see few sights. as is commonly
the way with these fellows. He men-
toned the beautiful scenery on Pico
Heights The Englishman wanted to go
out to see it. and they went, finally land
ing at place known to the police as the
"Pico Heights Joint. You can Buy the
although the proprietor does not pay any
license for selling it, AT least, That 5
what the police say. The EngllshMan
and Mr.. Phillips finally began playing
poker. the latter saying IN very careless
sort of way, that he was but ali lnulii:r-
ent player. At first the Englishman won.
Then he got three aces i'll his hand.
When he came to draw lie caught pair OF
kings. Phillips drew three cards. and OF
course looked to have the poorer hand.
The Englishman pet Il few dollars and
was promptly raised the balance Of his
pile, about $50. He called Philips, and
Phillips showed down four trays and
raked in the money
The Engishman borrowed "a to get
home on and went Immediately to police
headquarters. Detectives Auble and Haw-
lev went looking for Phillips and when
they found him they charged him with
vagrancy.
Yesterday in Justice Ovens court he
pleaded guilty and will be sentenced today
In the meantime he was given his liberty
on the promise tnat he would go out OF
town.
Hawley and Auble say that this place
on Pico Heights is notorious as resort
OF sure-thing men. 1t is outside the city
limits, but all the suckers are caught
here and taken out there.
Yesterday morning Officer Vignes gath
cred in u brace of men for whom the san
Francisco authorities have been looking
for several months. They are pickpoek-
cts, too, come down to ply their trade
during La Festa. Now they will either
have to stay in Jail or get out Of town.
Their names are William Howard and
Harry Kingsley. The former was charged
with vagrancy, but as a revolver was
charged with carrying concealed
weapon.

A DOMESTIC DRAMA
Bedan Gets $1,000 Judgment Through Little
Gol1en.!rai-ed Fairy

Bedan Gets $1,000 Judgment Through Little
GolGenshai-ed Fairy
The action in which Martin Bedan sued
Albert Turney for $50 900, was tried for
the second time yesterday. The first trial
was had before Judge Mckinley and re-
suited in judgment for the defendant.
This time it came up before Judge Shaw.
Martin Bedan alleged that Turney had
debauched his wife, Francisco, against
her consent ON December Is, 1890 At
the time that the suit was first brought II
caused a great scandal, because Iurney
was one OF the high flyers of boom days
and Mrs Bedan merely humble woman
OF middle age who did scrubbng for a
living.
The result OF Turney's intrigue was the
birth of girl which IS now very pretty
little golden haired fairy of four springs.
Bedau when he learned his wife's con-
dition, Immediately separated from her
and ever since has lived by himself 1t
was Tor tile mental distress he suffered
and for the deprivation of the aid and as
sistance OF Mrs. Bedan's society that the
plaintiff demanded $50 600.
The case was tried by default, Turney's
whereabouts being at present unknown.
Mrs. Bedan was accom- panied by the de-
fendant's child. who made little excur-
sions in the court room while the case was
on trial, and examined Bedan several
times with great curiosity, at which he
would turn away his face. The wronged
woman told how she had been i'll used by
lurney while at work in his new house
on Grand avenue and the consequences
OF the act.
There were no other witnesses except
the plaintiff and his daughter, Miss Be
dam whose te- timony while not corrobo-
rative of the lady's evidence, established
at least to the satisfaction OF the court the
paternity OF the child could not possibly
be attributed to Bedan him self.
Judge Shaw then gave judgment for
$1,000 in favor OF the plaintiff.

A lot Of rank molasses was accessible to
the bees, and they gorged themselves on

poisonous. Natural honey therefore is
