TO THE PUBLIC.

Thomas Johnson, the candidate for
alderman on the non-partisan ticket, in
the Third ward, should not be con-
founded with anyone of the same or
similar name. He is well known in
his ward and throughout the city as a
member of the firm of Johnson & Han
sen, railroad contractors. He is a
man of the people, familiar with the
necessities of the laboring classes and
his knowledge of contract work in
which he has had so much experience,
will make his services to the city as
alderman exceedingly valuable. Those
who make charges against him through
the press have certainly mistaken him
for some one else as he is not in any
way directly or indirectly connected
with any city work or contract and
certainly will not be during his term of
office. All who know him personally
recognize his honesty, fairness and ca
pacity and his election will be a credit
to the city and the ward he lives In.

If Callaghan and Levy did not want
the offices they hold, why did they ask

THREE BURGLARS.

AND BAD MEN.
One of the Fellows Passed as a Ward
Politician in Working Neat

A distinguished trio of travellers
from San Antonio arrived in Austin

force. They were not San Antonians
and had only been here to give VIM.

Messrs. Finch Girard, alias Joe Gar
diner, of New orleans, and Frank
Gardiner and George Monahan, and
they are now in Austin Jail charged
with the burglary and robbery of Wal
ter Tips hardware store last week,
when IA pistols were stolen.
The men were located by Assistant
City Marshal Frank Roberts and Off
Ger GriZZard in the rear room of the
Veramendi saloon on Soledad street
yesterday morning, Grizzard identi-
flying them. The officers took their
game completely by surprise and Sc
cured a pistol from each of them. The
pistols were part of the plumber taken
from the hardware store The other
pistols were boxed and shipped to a
man in Houston.
The men are all desperate charac-
ters and bad men, one, Girard, having
killed three men and is also wanted"
it is said, on other charges.
During the Battle of the Alamo,
held in this city, he was arrested for
stealing a pocket book from a man
named Burke, of Ell Paso, but was
released as Mr.. Burke could not come
from FL Paso to be a witness against
him.
He is the same man who had the
fight Saturday afternoon with Bill
Day, the West Commerce street sa-
loon man, on the corner of Alamo
plaza and Houston street, reported
in Sundays Light. His pistol was
taken from him by a bystander and
he escaped from Officer Chavez.
He seems to have been playing the
candidates. voters and saloon men
pretty heavily, as confidence man. as
he had in some manner obtained a
stack Of advertising cards of Mr.. Il.
B. Johnson, candidate for city treas
urer. and also had III registration
certificates in his pocket. the latter
stolen from Bill Days saloon.
OF the registration certificates some
were names of men who have only
been in San Antonio few weeks. and
many We're not entitled to vote.
These are now in the possession of
Marshal Druse. as cOntraband of war.
and will be held until election day,
when their owners can have them by
