gambling resort at 50 Waverley place last
Sunday evening All 10y the lookout man,

splitting his lip open.
Yesterday posters in Chinese characters

One of them was taken to Chinese in

The police are very cruel and are repeatedly
striking the Chinese. They have struck one to
death. Such injustice has set us to crashing
our teeth. If you wish to go out on the street

yourself. If you kill them escape if you can
and If not stand punishment like hero.

Money by False Pretenses.
Steve Vulocivich called at the Central
police station yesterday with Mrs. de
Martini, and the lady said he was not the
man who obtained 81 from her by falsely
representing that her husband was ar

When Mrs. de Martini applied for the
warrant in Judge Joachimsen's court on
Monday the policeman who accompanied
her said the man answered the description
of Vulocivich, but, not being sure, the
name ''John Doe" was inserted.
Vulocivich said yesterday: There is
no such warrant in existence, and do not
know any one by the name of Mrs. de
Martini of ZIG Sanchez street. Regarding
the statement that l have acted as cap

Forfeited.
TEN CENTS IN TWO MONTHS.
Judge Hebbard Decides That 1t Was
No Public Accommo-

Judge Hebbard has declared the fran
chise of the Sutter-street Railway on Bush
street forfeited.
The case was brought by the People on
the relation of Colonel R. II. Warfeld of
the California Hotel on Bush street against
the Sutter-street Railway Company on two
grounds, viz: that the track had not been
completed within the time specified and
that the company had not furnished ade-
quate accommodation for the public. For
seven years the company ran one car day
along the track until the latter was torn
up at the instance of Mayor Ellert on the
ground that the franchise had been for
feited.
On previous day of trial considerable
testimony had been adduced by the people

ested in the Stuparich Manufacturing
Company, of which he was president at
the time Of his death.

Louise Dallemand of Furth. Besides the
widow, FIVE daughters and one son survive
him. One of his daughters, Mrs. William
Frank, left the City on April 20 last on an
extended trip to Europe. On receipt of
Geographic news of her fathers illness she
and her husband started for home, but
they only reached Chicago yesterday.

ternal organizations. He was president of
the Eureka Benevolent Association and
devoted much of his time and means to
works of charity. He was a member of
the order of Odd Fellows and of the indie
pendent Order of B'nai Birth, of which
latter he was at one period grand presi-
dent.
The funeral took place yesterday at the
Home of Peace Cemetery, San Mateo.

community were present to pay a last
tribute of respect to the deceased. Cantor

had ample time to move from the old

put in by Rauer, the certified check had
been deposited and the transaction closed,
Rauer discovered that the six tanks. worth
over 500 each, had been added, and he
wanted to back out, but the Mayor refused
to do so. Thereafter the papers were
signed and the buildings delivered to the
purchaser. All the correspondence and
documents showing these facts were pre-
