The San Francisco call., 1896-02-08

on Broadway has lost the easiest occupa-
ton that dummy ever had. While the
excitement over the burglaries was at its
height the dummy had only to occupy a
nice, easy. cot during the night and
to look like a watchman who was just
waiting for somebody to break in and get
shot. Now it has to stand up night and
day, like any plebeian dummy, and wear
new suit of clothes and an unreIentipg
upright collar. But Mr.. Moran thinks
that the dummy saved his store and he is
going to decorate with it policeman S
uniform.
