v. veso, a Restaurant Waiter, Arrested
for Carrying Liquor Into the
City Prison.

V. Veso, waiter in restaurant on Nc
Allister street, opposite the City Hall, was
arrested yesterday morning by Captain
Robinson and booked on the charge of
carrying whisky into the prison. He was
released on $500 bonds.
Captain Robinson had been noticing for
some days that the ''trusties" in the
prison were in a condition of semi-intoxi-
cation, and one of them was so drunk on
Wednesday that he had to be locked up in
a cell. A search was made and several
empty TASKS were found hidden under the
mattresses in the beds of the "trusties." !"
Several more were found in eel. where
buckets and other utensils were kept.
Suspicion fell upon Veso, who supplied
meals to prisoners able to pay for them,
and yesterday morning. when ne entered
the prison with his tray, he was searched
and flask of whisky was found in his
pocket. He confessed that he had been
supplying the TRUSTEES" with the liquor.
He charged them a liberal commission,
sometimes 100 per cent. He will not be
permitted to supply meals to prisoners
any more.

SATURDAYS GAME.
The interest Still Growing in the Boys

The In terest Still Growing in the Boys
Brigade Football Contest.
The game to be played at Central Park
on Saturday afternoon between the Boys
Brigade Second and Fifth Regiment teams
promises to be one of much interest. The
teams have been practicing daily, and q
close contest is expected by the supporters
of both regiments. Many of the pro-
fessionas about the bay will watch the re-
suit with interest.
Bob Platter, fullback on the Stanford
team, says of Bishop and Davidson, half
back of the Fifth: "By the time they
reach college they will make Varsity men
in their first year." This speaks we'll for
the Fifth's boys.
Mlddlemas, playing guard in the Olym.
pics, will act as umpire. and w. B.
Hughson, who played tackle on the Mari
eta College team, will be the referee.
The colors OF the Second Regiment are
ment red and gold. The First Brigade
band, B. b. c., has been hard at work pre-
pairing for the occasion, and the grand
concert at 2:30 will be worth hearing.
Among the number of pieces selected for
the concert is the famous "King Cotton
March," At the Oakland Exposition this
band was nighly praised by the manage
ment, and especially for the perfect man.

JEWELER SCHMIDT GONE,
Locks Up His Store, at 1894 Mar.
ket Street, and Departs
Secretly.
His Liabilities Are About $4,000, Half
of Which Is Due Local
Creditors.

Peter P. Schmidt, a jeweler who has
been doing business at 1884 Market street
for several years, is missing, or, rather. is
absent, for there is no mystery regarding
the reason of his departure.
Creditors holding bills amounting to
about $4,000 or $4,000 would like to
know more regarding his affairs.
tits not known just the date of Schmidt's
departure, but it is thought that be locked
up his store and left about the first of last
week. For some time his affairs have
been unsatisfact ory to his creditors.
Efforts were made to get some kind OF a
settlement but no action was taken till
last Friday, when a Deputy Sheriff came
down on the place with q writ of attach
ment. Then he found that the ieweler
had plumed himself for flight and went
we'll loaded with the contents of the es-
tablishment. The store was literally
emptied of everything of any great value.
Diamonds, watches and large mum Der of
other costly articles that were known to
have been in stock had disappeared with
the disappearing proprietor.
It is not yet known how much Schmidt's
liabilities are. but it is known that his
debts to local firms will reach $4,000 and
that he owes Eastern jewelry firms an
equal sum. His principal creditors here
are: Carrau & Green, A. Green. A. Eisen-
berg & Co., a. l. Hall & Son. E. Hirsch-
field e. Co., Nordmann Bros, Armer &
Weinshenk. California Optical Company,
L. A. Giaccobbi, George Greenzweig & Co.
A mem ber of the firm of Carrau & Green,
900 Sutter street, stated yesterday that
Schmidt's failure and fight amounted to
downright felony, as he carried away all
the valuable stock in his store. Warrants
will be sworn out for his arrest, and he
will be charged with defrauding his credi-
tors.
Attorney A. Heynemann, who represents
the Eastern firms, stated yesterday that it
has been known for some time that
Schmidts affairs were not in a good con-
dition, but it was not expected that he
would get away with the plunder and so
smoothly.
Take it all together it is considered a
remarkably successful cleanup, and it is
thought that the creditors will realize little
or nothing in the settlement.
