A thief made bold and successful haul

A thief made bold and successful haul
of sack of money yesterday afternoon
about l o'clock from the fruitstore of
Baldocchi e. SINH at 232 Taylor street. At
the time mentioned SINH was attending
to the store while his partner, Baldoccni,
was sitting in me back room engaged In
some bushes S mi had occasion to step
in to speak to him on scme matter, leav-
ing the fruitstand unattended for the
time being. AS he was about to return
he thought he saw some persons hanging
round in front, as is sometimes the hab bit
of customers before making a purchase,
consequently he paid but little attention
to them for the time being. But an un-
usual noise at the money-drawer caused
him to take sharper look in that direc.
ton. This time his observation was re-
warded by seeing the thief dash out of the
store with the money-sack under his arm
and run down Taylor street. SINH gave
chase, blowing police whistle.
Before leaving the store SINH gra bbed a
pistol from the drawer, which he carried
in his hand while in pursuit, but in conse-
quence of there being so many people on
the street he was afraid to fire. The robber
was Joined at the corner of Taylor and
Eddy streets by two confederates. who
ran along with him until they came to
the White Wing Saloon, at lis Eddy street,
where they suddenly turned into side
entrance between that house and 113,
which stands back from the street. Here
the thief was sean to climb over the back
fences and over the roofs Of the outhouses
that connect with those from ting on Turk
street. He iump ped from one roof to the
other until he was seen to drop down into
the basement of B'nai Birth Hall build
ing. From there all traces were lost OF the
man and the sack of money, although the
police officer, who by this time had made
his appearance on the scene, had made a
thorough search OF the entire basement,
but to no avail. The sack contained SIS
in gold and silver.

in a San Lorenzo
Attic.
Jens Hansen Swallows Strychnine
and Dies in Great
Agony.

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,
908 Broadway, Aug. 30
Rather than appear in court to-day and
explain his stewardship over small es-
tate of his young nephew Jens Hansen of
San Lorenzo ended his life this morning.
Hansen complained TO his wife early
this morning OF feeling sick. He said he
would retire to the attic and rest, and
with this explanation his wife and two
children prepared to go to work in the
adjacent cannery Instead OF resting
Hansen went into the attic and carefully
prepared for death. He made com fort
able place to lie down and took off his
coat and vest. He had previously OBJ
tanned bottle OF strychnine, and as soon
as he thought his family had tim enough
to start for the cannery he swallowed the
fatal dose.
a little later Mrs. Hansen, who had not
gone out, heard groanng in the attic and
on going up there she discovered her hus-
band in great agony, rolling about on the
pallet. he was unable to speak to her,
but the empty strychnine bottle told its
own tale. His wife lost no time in send
ing to Haywards for a doctor, but before
he arrived the man was dead.
Hansen was to have appeared in court
this morning to render an accounting of
lAc esbdtc VI q young nephew. ABOUT a
year ago Hansen's brother died and left
an estate consisting of $4,000, he amount
OF his lie insurance in the Woodmen of
the World. Half of this was given to
Jens Hansen and the other half was left to
his young son, Jens' nephew.
Hansen. has been doing very little busi-
ness lately and had occasion to use his
own share of the legacy, and it is said he
was recently citea 10 explain the con-
dition OF his nephew's estate. This seemed
to trouble him, and he has been very
Respondent of late.
II do not know why be should have
wished 10 die" said his wife this evening.
HE seemed all right last night, and
this morning 10 said he did not feel well.
l had no idea what was the matter with
him when / found him in such agony,
and he never uttered word till he died. !"
