How a Couple of Girls Captured a
Stolen BicycIe.

Tuesday evening a bicycle belonging
to Ethel Tilton, who resides with her
parents on street, between Eighth
and Ninth. was ridden off by girl ap-
parently thirteen or fourteen years OF
age, and was not again heard of.
AS it happens, Ethel Tilton has two
friends, named respectively Genie Stat
ford and Josie Boedefelt, and while
neither of them are over fourteen years
of age they not only sympathized with
their friend at the loss of her wheel,
but determined to help her find it.
Theirs was no idle resolution, and all
day yesterday they kept their eyes
about them. 1t was not until after y
o'clock in the evening that their efforts
We're crowned with anything approach
ing success. At that hour, while walk
ing along the street, they saw young
girl riding a wheel that looked strange
ly familiar, and they Immediately
agreed that it was the one owned by
Ethel Tiltcn.
The girls did not lose their heads,
rush off to find a policeman, and allow
the wheel and rider to disappear. On
the contrary, they bolted out into the
street, seized the rider, captured the
wheel, and red the former and trun-
dled the latter through the classic pre-
cincts of Second and 1 streets down to
the police station.
City Attorney Brown was cogitating
over puzZler in Chief Drew's office
when the trio of girls marched in and
declared the wheel to be the one stolen
from Ethel Tilton. They also accused
their prisoner of having stolen it,
The City Attorney admitted that the
young female detectives had a strong
case, and warrant was drawn up
which accused the prisoner of larceny.
She resides with her parents in
Washington, Yolo County, but her
name is withheld from publication for
the present.
The girl thus related how she be-
came possessed of the wheel: Her
aunt, she said, came up from San Fran
cisco three days ago, made her a pres

parted for England

and the girl, who is not over fourteen
years old, was taken home.

CHARGED WITH FORGERY.
Complaint Filed Against Charles Hei.
sen, the Honey Broker.

w. J. Hull, railroad locomotive en-
gineer. yesterday filed a complaint
charging Charles Heisen, the we'll
known money lender, with forgery.
Heisen learned that such a complaint
had been filed, and without waiting to
be arrested he had his attorney, Martin
Devine, file a bond for his appearance
in the Police Court TO answer to the
charge.
The complainant had had some money
dealings with Heisen, but not, he says,
for year past. Heisen filed on the
23d of last month a power of attorney
with the railroad company to collect
Hull's salary for the present month.
The document is signed Wv J. Hull"
Hull claims that he did not sign the
power of attorney, and Heisen is equally
as emphatic in declaring that his action
will bear investigation.

The fight was attended by nearly
