ALAMEDA.

John Delucchi found himself in trouble
yesterday on account of his peculiar
methods of doing business. He has been
keeping a vegetable and fruit stand on
Railroad avenue and Park street for about
a month. He had no license, but never
lacked plausible plea when the officers
called on him. Learning, however, that he
had negotiated to sell the place, Officer
Conrad had him arrested for conducting a
business without license, and Delucchi
was yesterday fined $40 by the Recorder.
Ex-Supervisor Martin brought suit for
$40, and closed up the place under an at
tachment for bill of about years stand
ing for hack hire at Delucchi's wedding.
An Oakland produce-dealer who fur
nished him his stock in trade is also after
him. When the stock was bought Deluc-
chi pretended not to have enough money
with him, but if the dealer would accom-
pany him home his wife would furnish the
money and he would be paid at once.
After waiting some time Delucchi come
with sorrowful story that his wife had
been summoned to the bedside of her dying
father and he was very sorry, but she had
taken every cent of money.
The dealer would have to come on the
following day, which was Saturday. He
came and then learned that the place was
about to be sold out, and he advised with
the police regarding an arrest for obtaining
goods under false pretenses. The landlord
did not obtain his rent and the bargain to
sell has fallen through, to complete Deluc-
chi's bad fortune for one day.
Actions to Foreclose.
Suit was commenced yesterday by Ellen
D. Storey against Elizabeth Casey to fore
close a mortgage on property on Central
avenue, near Sherman street, given as Sc
curity for the payment of a note for $500.
The Alameda Savings Bank has brought

and others to foreclose mortgage on city
property to secure payment of a promis-
sorry note for $4,000, made April Is, 1898, to
run one year at per cent interest.
