Three of Them Garrote
and Rob a Peddler
of Toys.
They Lured Him to the Quarry
at the Foot of Telegraph
Hill.
One of the Robbers, John Dagnio,
Arrested, and the Police Are
Searching for the Others.

Boys, owing to the immunity from ar
rest enjoyed by footpads, have started in
the business, and the police have been
for a week working on case.
a week ago to-aay John Brown, boy,
was going around to houses on telegraph
Hill with case of Christmas toys which
he was trying to sell.
He noticed that three boys were follow
ing him. but he did not dream that they
meant mischief When he got to a Sc
Guided spot on tie hill they closed in
upon him and took the case of toys from
him, saying he must be tired and they
would help him carry it.
They led him along till they got to- the
quarry on Sansome street, one carrying
the toys. There while one garroted him
in the most approved fashion another
went through his pockets, taking his
money and his silver watch and chain.
The three then disappeared.
Brown reported the matter at police
headquarters and Policemen Ellis and
MCGowan were de tailed to investigate, as
the boy footpads were suspected of be-
longing to the boys frequenting the water
front and tamlliarIy known as "water
rats"
Monday, Ellis and McGowan arrested
John Dagnio, boy 16 years OF age, and
put charge of vagrancy against MIN so
as to detain him. Dagnio at first denied
that he knew anything about the robbery,
but admitted yesterday that he was one
of the trio, and enjoyed telling how easily
they led Brown to the quarry. He wonld
not say who garroted and robbed Brown.
Dagnio was booked Yesterday afternoon
for grand larceny, so thst he can be sent
to the Whittier Rsformatory. He has
been arrested twice before, once for steal
ing horse and buggy, for which he was
sent to the Boys and Girls Aid Societ y
for six months. He is good specimen OF
the water rat. "
Ellis and MCGOWAN know who the other
two boys are, and yesterday they obtained
warrants for their arrest from Judge Con-
lan's court.

Mrs. Flaherty Of Harriet
Street Arrested on a
Charge Of Insanity.
The Complaint Was Sworn to
by Mrs. S. Levy, a Neighbor,
From Pure Malice.
Insanity Commissioners Were Notified
and Mrs, Flaherty Was Promptly
Released.

An outrage was perpetrated yesterday
upon Mrs. Flaherty, vile of John Fla
nerty, retired bricklayer, living at 147
Harriet street.
The FIahertys own the house in which
they live and are highly esteemed by their
neigh bors with one exception, Mrs. Sarah
Levy, who lives two doors from them.
Mrs. Flaherty has four children, and
through some cause unknown TO her Mrs.
l. Wy took a spite at the children. Mrs.
Flaherty says that Mrs. Levy, while the
children were passing her house or the
way to school, would open her window
and throw dirty water over them
Monday night Mrs. FIaherty remon-
strated with Mrs. Levy and hot words
passed between them. Mrs. Levy declared
that the Flahertys were all crazy and she
would prove it.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Levy, accom-
panied by her son, went TO the County
Clerks office and swore to complaint |
charging Mrs. Flahery with being in
sane. She answered the questions put to
her by Deputy County Clerk DAILY in such
pert way that he had to mildly admon-
ish her.
The warrant was sent to the Sout hern
O44Cc dllOI anu IOIlC6U1an Tracey WIS
sent in the patrol wagon to take Mrs.
Flaherty to the Receiving Hospital. w hen
Tracey entered the house Mrs. Flaherty
was nursing her hus band, who was sick
! IN bed with q severe cold. She could
scarcely realize what the officer wanted,
/ but when she aid she went into Mysteries.
! Sne was taken from her home placed in
the patrol wagon, which was uncovered,
and driven TO the hospital exposed to the
gaze OF peODie on the streets
she was In pltable condition when
she reached the hospital. Dr. Bunnell
was on duty, and she protested to him
between her so 0s that she was not insane.
After she uuieted down the doctor talked
with her, ana IL did not take him long to
see that her arrest was gross outrage.
He communicated with Deputy County
Clerk Daily, who has charge of the insane,
and he at once saw Judge Hebbard and
the Insanity Commissioners and eX-
planned the facts to them. They went to
the hospital, saw Mrs. Flaherty and or
! dered her to be sent home.
Mrs. Flaherty's husband, after she was
taken away, got out of bed, dressed him.
self and went TO the hospital. He wa
! indignant over the arrest OF his wife and
was advised TO take steps to punish Mrs.
/ Levy for falsely swearing that his wife
! was insane.
! 81 have lived in this city forty-four
years." said Flaherty. "and have been
married twenty-five years, and this is the
| first time we have had any trouble with
our neighbors. 1 am peaceabIe man, out
this Ou rage IS too much for me-"
This case may lead to a necessary change
in the law providing that no person
charged with insanity should be arrested
unless the warrant is accompanied by q
doctors certificate that the person is, or is
believed to be, insane. AS it is, any person
can have another arrested on charge OF
insanity.

CLOSE OF GoNzAGA's BAZAAR.
Fair Was an Artistic as Well as
Financial Success.

Financial Success.
Last night closed the second week of
Gonzaga's fair. The crowd was, il possi-
BILE, larger and the various tables and
booths were taxed to supply customers
with the smaller articles on sale. Theyoting
was spirited, and man Y handsome portraits
and paintings were awarded to success
full contestants. There will be grand
auction sale Tuesday evening TO dispose
OF all wares left on the stands, and an at
tractive program has especially been ar
ranged for the occasion.
The great bazaar has been a success,
both from IL financial and artistic stand
point The members of St Aloysius'
Church. and notably of the league and
several sodalities, have spared no trouble
or expense to make the season attractive,
and the large number of patrons from
other parishes present each night gave
evidence that their efforts have met with
bounteous success
Many of the decorations which added
so greatly to the attractivencss of the fair
we're donated by j. LansbUrgh & Bro, Mr..
Henry King, of Kings Palace; NicolI, the
tailor, and other leading merchants The
booth erected in honor of Archbishop Mar

OF the room
The gentlemen forming the various com
mittees have shared in the enthusiasm of
their wives and daughters by fulfilling
the respon sbilities of their individual
offices with such zeal that from first TO
last the great event has progressed withouta
hitch or flaw.
Too much cannot be said in praise Of

hard and contributed in great measure
