TWO NOTED CROOKS
AN IMPORTANT ARREST MADE
BY THE DETECTIVES
The McCaul Brothers They
Have Spent Most of Their
Lives in Prison

Richard and Hick McCaul, two of the
most daring and notorious crooks in
the west, were locked up in the city
prison last night at o'clock by De-
tectives Auble and Hawley. Just what
they are charged with is as yet un-
known, as they were not booked and the
detectives are non-committal, but 1t is
thought that they have had a hand
in some of the numerous burglaries
that have taken place here during the
past few days.
The McCaul brothers are known to
almost every police department on the
Pacific coast, as they have operated
extensively in many cities, for which
they have spent the greater portion of
their life behind the prison bars. Rich
ard McCaul has already served five diff
ferent terms in the Pacific coast state
prisons, aggregating twenty-six years,
while his brother Hick has also served
time to the extent of ten years. They
hail from San Francisco and have sew
eral pals with them, for whom the po-
lice department is keeping sharp look
out. The arrest of these two brothers
is considered by the police as the most
important made for some time.

oHARaEE WITH MURDER
A Tinsmith's Alleged Maltreatmsnt
of His Wife

SAN FRANCISO. April 22.-Robert
Loring. tinsmith living at No. Cor
don place. was arrested tonight on
suspicion of having caused his wife's
death. Last Sunday Mrs. Loring died
and was buried the following Wednes-
day Peritonitis was given as the cause
of her death.
Shortly after the unfortunate woman
was buried the officers of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chill
dren received a communication from
Henry Burke, brother of the deceased
in which he claims that her husband is
responsible for her death. He declared
that just before she was taken i'll Lor-
ing knocked her down and kicked her
repeatedly and Jumped on her.
When the policemen went to Loring's
house tonight they found that he had
locked and barred all the doors. He ap-
peared at an upper story window and
at first refused to talk to the policemen.
They finally induced him to come down
stairs and unlock the front door.
When he was told that he was wanted
at the Office OF the chief he declared
that he would never submit to arrest. A
desperate fight ensued during which
Loring tried to cut the policemen with a
knife. He was finally secured and taken
to the station in the patrol wagon. The
only statement he would make was that
he would fight the case to the biJter end.
the coroner has been notified and will
probably disinter the body.

ENTERPRISING AGENT
PLACED IN THE CITY JAIL FOR
LAND swINDLING
Alleged to Have Traded Ten Acres
Which He Never Owned for
Broadway Restaurant

George Reed, alias George T. David
night by Detective Goodman for land
swindling, it being alleged that he Is a
partner with H. D. Casey, who was ar
rested on Monday evening by the same
officer on a similar charge, but is now
out on bond.
Davidson Is charged with having made
at least six big bogus real estate deals.
1t Is claimed that he recently traded
ten acres of land near Palmdale which
he represented as being set to fine bear
ing fruit trees and having fine house,
a good water right and other improve
ments thereon, for a eix-room cottage
and lot on Boyle Heights, the property
of a Mr. Campbell, when in fact he
never owned such land. He Is also
said to have been negotiating with a
man in this city whereby he was to
have traded q gold mine at Randsburg
purporting to be worth $4,000 for a val
liable piece of property in the San Ga
briel valley. but owing to a misunder-
standing in the agreement the deal was
declared off, but it subsequently lead to
his arrest.
Papers were also found on his person
which indicated that he was about to
trade tract of land near this city for a
section OF timber land in Oregon, and
papers closing the deal are now in
transit between Los Angeles and Port
land. One of the boldest of his traneac-
tions yet discovered was that made on
Monday, when he exchanged another
piece of improved land supposed to be
located near Palmdale for a restaurant
on the corner of Fourth and Broadway.
After this deal was closed the man
who sold the restaurant went out to
look at his new ranch. but after expend-
ing an entire day trying to locate 1t be-
came suspicious, and returning to Los
Angeles began an investigation. In a
short time he learned that he had been
badly swindled.
The matter was placed in the hands of
Chief of Police Glass and sufficient evil
dence was soon found which substan-
tiated the suspicious of the complaining
victim. Davidson was arrested at the
restaurant for which he had traded.
1t is said that he does not own any prop
erty and that both he and Casey have
been reaping harvest during the past
few weeks in their partnership real
estate deals. 1t is expected that other
victims will be heard as the detectives
are working on several other cases OF
ike import.

WORK OF THE STRONG WIND
A Portion of the Wilson Block Top
pies Over Doing Much Damage

American flag which has for several
days been suspended across Spring
street by a heavy wire from the top of
the Hotel Nadeau and the Wilson block,
was blown down by the strong wind,
taking with it several hundred pounds
of brick and mortar freJn the latter
building. The debris demolished a cab
standing near the walk, causing the
team to run away. The driver, fortu-
nately, was not seated on the vehicle
at the time, or he would probably have
been killed. The crash was heard for

A NEIGHBoRHooD ROW
w. r. Price Arrested for Threatening
to Kill w. B. Reese

w. r. Price was arrested yesterday
afternoon on warrant sworn to by w.
b. Reese, a neighbor. The formers
house located at No 1920 East Twelfth
street was burned Tuesday night
together with all the contents.
No one was at home when the
fire broke out, and it's origin is yet a
mystery. Some one suggested to Price
that Reese might have started 1t, and
the latter replied that If he could prove
that Reese did it he would kill him. This
threat shortly afterward reached the
ears of Reese, and he at once had Price
arrested.
The latter appeared before Jugtice
Morrison yesterday and had his bond
fixed at $500 pending preliminary ex-
animation to be held on next Wednes-
day.
1t is said that for over a year the re-
lations between the two men have been
strained, and their friends have all
along predicted serious trouble sooner
or later. Price was at one time a men,
Der of the city fire department and was
one day dropped suddenly from the pay
roll and another man appointed in his
stead. He states that Reese circulated
petition and was instrumental in, his
removal. The loss caused by the. fire
is placed at $500 with an insurance of
about $3.50.
