BRADY LOST SIXTY DOLLARS
And Accuses His Friend Hastings of
the Robbery

H. Hastings was arrested yesterday by
Police Officer Fowler, on a charge of grand
larceny. NJ. w. Brady, a former friend of
Hastings, is the complainant. According to
the story related by Brady, Hastings is an
migrate as well as thief.
Brady and Hastings are both gamblers,
and the former states that he has been
providing Hastings with home and board
off and on for the last two years as the
precarious means of livelihood followed by
Hastings frequently failed to provide him
with the necessities of life. Recently Hast
ings returned from the north and went to
stop with Mr.. and Mrs. Brady at 2l7 South
Main street The Brady's have been ar
ranging to leave this city for Texas and
have collected considerable money. This
money, which amounted to 5000, was kept
in a sack, and in lieu of safe deposit vault
was hidden behind the dresses of Mrs.
Brady in a closet in her bedroom. On
Wednesday about l o'clock Mrs. Brady took
down the sack and counted the money in the
presence of Hastings. She remained in the
room until o'clock that evening and she
and her husband left to go to dinner, leav.
ing Hastings in the room. Hastings was
still there Wnen tney retuIHeu, put went
away shortly after. Brady went to the sacl,
to count the money once more and discov-
cred that $50 was missing.
He hunted up his friend and inquired
if he had been away from the room while
they were absent at dinner, and Hastings
replied so Brady says, that he had not gone
away. Hastings was informed of the los
and Brady says he asked him if he knew
anything about the theft, suggesting that il
looked very bad for him, as he was the only
person in the room, and apparently the onl.

that while it was true that three different
statutes had been passed by the legislature
they were all virtually the same. The first,
he said, had been passed in 1893 and pro-
vided for the sale of franchise by cities on
a cash basis; and that the second repealed
all conflicting laws and provided for the
sale of railway franchises on the basis OF a
percentage of the receipts from the pro-
ceeds of the road. In the same year the
last statute, which was intended to apply
particularly to San Francisco, as it referred
to "cities and countless was passed. Ac-
cording to the petitioner the latter statute
was drawn on the same lines as that of 1898,
the only difference being that the last went
little further in its provisions
Councilman Blanchard said the board 5
hesitancy was due to this very question,
and stated that the city attorneys time
had been so occupied of late that the board
had been unable to secure his opinion. 'We
would like first said he, ''to have him pass
upon the legality of the action, as we un-
derstand the statute provides for the re-
moval from office of any board of aldermen
who in anyway fail to observe its provi-
sions''
LAS to that point replied Judge Lamme,
eve will take the responsibility.
"And we the consequence observed
Councilman Ashman.
"What we desire" continued the petit
toner, ''is to have this board either grant
or refuse our petition. In case of the latter,
we can easily bring mandamus proceedings
IN the courts and have it settled. We are.
hawever, quite willing to 60 ahead and
build our road. and in case the courts hold
we have no franchise we would be the
losers"
After further arguments on the subject
the board agreed to report at next Fridays
meeting, and in the meantime to consult
the city attorney.
MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS
Shortly after disposing OF this matter, Fire
Commissioner Kuhrts came in and inquired
for the other members of the commission.
He was informed that he was the only rep
reson tative of the board who had put in an
appearance. and for that reason the matter
OF the bids for fire house sites could not be
taken up. 1t was continued until next Fri
day.
The petition of E. Bryson. asking that
sidewalk be constructed on the north side of
Tenth street, between Flower and Figueroa,
was considered by the board, which came to
the conclusion the best thing to do with the
petition would be to file it. as action had
already been taken in this direction.
+. V. Baker and c. O. Morgan appeared
in support of their petition asking that the
name Of Yolande street be changed to West
Thirteth street. c. Bauer. who supported
the protest, was also on hand, and both sides
were given a hearing. The principal obiec-
ton to the change was made on the ground
that Yolande street was at least $50 feet
below Thirtieth street, and that the change
The herald., 1898-11-26

would only result in confusion. Ihe petit
tioners then asked the board to change 1t
to Thirty-frst street, but this was objected
to on the ground that the distance from
Thirtv-first street to Iolande, which is a
short cross street, was about the same as
from Thirtieth, on in other words, the un-
fortunate Yolande was half way between the
two. The board decided to even matters by
recommending that the name be changed to
Thirtieth place. This decision seemed to
meet with favor from all parties. The pro-
test was ordered filed.
Dr. J. Schmitz's petition to have Decade
street and two alleys in the Sheboygan tract
vacated by the city was favored by the
board, which will recommend the council to
grant the request and order the city engineer
to furnish the city attorney with the neces-
,sarv data to frame an ordinance in compli-
ance with the petition. The streets and
alleys in question have never been used by
the city. but were decided to the city through
mistake No protest has been filed and, in
fact. there seems to be no objection to the
change.
In the matter of NJ. NJ. Miller and others
petition, asking that Lake street, between
! Ninth and Tenth streets, be opened, the
board recommended that the matter be re-
ferred to the city attorney to frame an or
dinance in accordance with the petition.
| Through some mistake, Mrs. Ann Smith
filed a protest against the improvement OF
Ann street, between Main and Wise streets.
When the matter came before the board
yesterday it was filed, as no proceedings
toward making such improvement have been
commenced.
The beard will recommend that the peti-
tion from c. Raphael and others for the
improvement of Wilhardt street, between
San Fernando and Maud streets. by private
contract be granted upon the filing of the
necessary contract and bond with the city
engineer.

Justice Morrison discharged William
Ryan and George Ferris from the charge of
petty larceny. The men had been charged
with stealing a pair of trousers from w.
Lubin, the clothier, and the article of cloth
ing was found in their possession. The men
claimed to have purchased the trousers
from stranger, and as the prosecution
could not connect them with the commits
sion of the theft the complaint was dis
missed and the defendants discharged. The
trousers were returned to their owner.
