FIVE OUT OF SIX IN JAIL.
SHORT WORK OF A GANG OF
CHICAGO THUGS.
A Little Incident That Occurred
at the County Jail
Last Night.

Deputy Sheriff Appel of San Francis
co lodged two prisoners in the County
Jail last night, to be taken this morn
ing to Warden AulPs retreat overlook
ing the American River.
Thomas Maurey, convicted in the Su-
perior Court of San Francisco of an
assault with deadly will have to un-
dergo one years Imprisonment.
The other prisoner was young man
named Herman Boehen. who was SEN
fenced to seven years for burglary in
the first degree.
Boehen. although only about 19 years
old, seems to be a criminal of very
vicious nature. He came from the
East about four months ago, in COM
pany With six other crooks. All OF
them, save one. are now either in Fol-
som or on the way there. Jerry Nc
Ginniss and Frank Raymond, alias
Chicago SLIM" two of the gang, were
en- route in our County Jail a week ago,
having pleaded guilty to burglary in
San Francisco.
AS Raymond was being taken to a
cell by Deputy Sheriff George w. Kel-
ly, he saw and recognized Frank Da-
Wis, alias Belfast Shorty" who with
Fred Howard and Harry Lynch stood
up and robbed Grocer B. Feraut and
several other men in the latter's place
in this city at the point of pistols on
the night of October I'd.
1t appears that Davis and Howard
were two of the sextet referred to who
came to the coast together, and the
recognition was mutual.
Hello, Slim! are you in, too?" ejac-
ulated Davis.
That's what, Shortly" replied Ray
mond. I'VE are all pinched, excepting
one"
Boehen burglarized a private resi-
dence on Church street in San Fran
cisco at midnight and being discovered
by one of the occupants, he fired point
blank in the mans face, inflicting a
very painful but not dangerous wound.
The shot, however nearly caused the
victim to lose his eyesight from the
powder burns, the shot having been
fired at very close range.
The leniency shown this murderous
burglar by Judge Frank Dunno, who
imposed only seven years sentence,
pending good behavior in prison, which
virtually means only five years i'm
prisonment, seems to have been wasted,
for Boehen on his way here told the
officer in charge that as soon as his
term had expired he would return to
San Francisco and have revenge on
those who were instrumental in send
ing him to prison.
In talking back and forth from their
cells, Boehen was heard to remark to
Belfast Shorty
Say, Shorty, what lucky guy I was
to get before Judge Dunno. If it had
been that Judge you've got up here IRE
ferring to Superior Judge f. c. Hart)
he wouldn't a done a thing to me. Oh
no! Twenty years-sit down."
Yes, you bet yer life!" came back
from the cells occupied by those who
will soon have to appear before Judge
Hart

CATHEDRAL CHOIR.
Choice Music at Yesterdays High
Mass Service.

The music at the Cathedral yesterday
at High Mass was of an unusually brill
liant order, as are indeed all of the
masses sung at that place of worship.
During the Lenten season and the
warm weather following only low mass
is said, but now the full service with
the elaborate musical compositions Of
the masters is given at 1870 a. m.
each Sunday
Yesterday the choir sang portions of
the beautiful masses of Giorza and La
Hache. The "Kyrie" and Gloria"
We're by the latter composer, and the
'Credo, 'Sanctus,' "Benedictus'' and
"Agnus Der We're from Giorza's First
Mass.
The music was given with the usual
spirit and finish of the Cathedral
Choir, and many of the solos and duets
We're charmingly rendered. The Of
fertory, ]. Wiegand's 20 Salutaris, >
was excellently given by Mrs. J. II.
Coppersmith.
The music from now until Christmas
will be equally as elaborate as that of
yesterday, and at the mass on Christ
mas Day there will be additional in
strumental accompaniment and a large

HOW ABOUT A ROUNDUP?
Loafers Who Should be Jailed o.
Driven From Town.

Burglaries and incendiarism are too
frequent these days, and it is about
time something We're done to rid the
streets Of the loafers who hang about
the dives
1t is long time since a general
roundup of thieves and vagrants was
had, and the time seems to be ripe for
few raids. There is no doubt that
the creatures who are robbing and set
ting fire to buildings are hangers-on of
the dives, of whom there are scores now
about the city.
Why not round them up and dispose
of them at the rock-pile, or drive them
out of town? They are a nuisance in the
daytime and menace at night. They
have no business here, and nobody
wants them but the dive-keepers who
live off their depredations.
Why not corral them all?

The Prince at Fires.

The Prince of Wales has always been
fascinated by big fires, and very often
has gone long distances to see the Met
ropolitan Fire Brigade at it's dangerous
work. Once, after the opera, he strolled
unattended toward the spot where red
glow in the sky indicated a great con-
migration. Seeing a newspaper reporter
taking notes, the Prince asked him for
details, which We're, of course, readily
given, especially as the identity of the
questioner was known to the journalist.
AT the conclusion Of the conversation
the Prince offered the reporter a cigar,
which the latter carefully wrapped in
an envelope and placed in his pocket.
Why don't you smoke it?" asked the
Prince. Because I'm not likely ever TO
get another cigar from the Prince Of
Wales, so l mean to keep this one as a
raemento." The Prince laughed good
naturedly, and, bringing out his case
again, replied: We'll, you had better
have another one-this time to smoke .
