Park Commissioners and Several Others
May Get Themselves Into Trouble.
]. c. H. Mathai, capitalist living at
1891 Mission street, owns lot 400x265 feet
on the Ocean road, near Twenty-sixth
street. 1t was about four feet above the
level of the road, and was covered to a
depth OF some feet by fine loan.
For some weeks people have been going
to the lot during the early morning hours
and carting off the loam, till now there is
very little left. Mathai posted up notices
warning people against carting off the
loan, but the notices were always torn
down as soon as put UP. Yesterday morn
ing fifteen wagon-loads were carted away.
and Mathai's two daughters, who were on
the watch, followed the wagons to Golden
Gate Park. They found the men had been
selling the loan to the Park Comm isslon-
ers for 81 load.
The two young ladies went to Judge
Conlan's court and told their story. They
wanted warrants for the arrest of several
John Does" for petty larceny. and war
rants against the Park Commissioners for
receiving stolen property. They were
told it could not be done, and then they
asked for search warrant to get back the
stolen loan. This was politely refused,
and they went away disappointed.
