the police concluded that he had a
hand in the jobs and they determined
to watch him. Despite their efforts the
desperate crook piled his vocation with
alarming regularity. Several nights
ago he was seen leaving the house of
one of his victims, accompanied by his
partner in crime.
From the description furnished the
Oakland police of the housebreakers
they became convinced that King was
one of the men. Chief Lees was at
once notified, and he detailed Sullivan,
Bee and Harper to arrest him. With
only meager description of King, Sui
Ivan started out to find him.
Shortly after Z o'clock last night he
found him playing poker in a Market
street saloon, and after ordering him
to cash in the chips. placed him
under arrest. King offered no resist
ance, and announced his Willingness to
accompany the detective to police head
quarters. He wore a red sweater, and
with the exception of short trousers,
was made up as a bicycle rider. After
his name was registered on the small
book, he was taken in the tanks and
thoroughly searched. Failing to find
anything of an discriminating nature,
the detective took away his clothes
and compelled him to don an old suit,
which was generously supplied by
City Prison ''trusty."
The detectives are hopeful Of catch
ing Kings partner in crime. They say
he is also an eX-convict, and as he Is
. we'll known to the men of the upper

ing him.

Auditor Broderick Stops
a Very Queer Trans
action.
Compilation OF the Consolida-
ton: Act Charged to
=. Counsel Fees.
Brokers, and Not the Attorney, VIII
Probably Be the Sub
ject

Auditor Frederick opposed himself
squarely to the Judiciary Committee OF
the Board of Supervisors yesterday by
refusing to audit the demand Of w. j.
Gavigan for $500 for special counsel
fees.
Gavigan was appointed by the COM
rnittee to compile a pamphlet contain
ing the consolidation act, the amend
ments= thereto and the general laws
applying to the city and county of San
Francisco. He drew his warrant against
the fund allowed to the Board of Super
visors for the purpose of employing
legal talent in special and emergency
cases. The sectics of the law on which
the demand is based gives the Board
of Supervisors the following power:
ITO allow and order paid out of the
general fund not exceeding the sum of
$4,000 in any one fiscal year for the en-
ployment of special COUNSEL
The resolution of the board speci-
fically authorizes the compilation Of the
consolidation act and the amendatory
and supplemental acts, and under this
measure Gavigan was employed. Au-
ditor Broderick points to section of
the act, which reads as follows: ITO
allow and order paid out of the general
fund of 1S60-61 the sum of three hun
dred dollars for compiling and publish
ing the laws and ordinances relating
to the city and county of San Fran
cisco; and for any fiscal year there
after a further sum not exceeding the
sum Of $500 for the same purpose"
The Auditor believes that section 8
limits the power of the board in the
matter mentioned, and that as Gavi-
IN, g =
total amount of the appropriation and
also drawn against the wrong fund, it
is his duty to veto it,. In his message
to the Board of Supervisors he places
himself on record as being against the
payment of any bills for work that is
not absolutely shown to have been per-
formed.
1t is said that Gavigan is not worry

- n. Stern. a baker at 344 Sixth street,
will not recover for long time from
a shock to his nerves yesterday morn
ing, and the thought of it makes him
Shudder when the subject is preached
to him. =. IT,:
Yesterday morning between and 8
o'clock he called as usual at the bak-
cry of George Loeffler, 721 Brannan
street, between Sixth and Seventh, to
deliver some bread. The front door
was open, which surprised him, and on
entering he was still more. surprised
to find a lighted lamp in the bedroom
which Loeffier occupied in the rear of
the store. on casting his eyes upon
the bed he received a shock that al
most froze his blood. He rushed out
of the place and jumping into his
wagon drove furiously to- the South
ern police station and created a ire
mendous sensation by announcing that
LOettier was lying murdered in his bed.
He told Officer Judson, who was on
station duty. that he saw a towel COW
cred with blood under Loeffler's chin
and there was a bloody knife and re-
volver on a table close to the bed. He
was sure that bloody murder had
been committed. He was so excited
that he could scarcely speak.
Policeman Heinz was hurriedly sum-
moned and was instructed to go with
Stern and make a full investigation.
They drove rapidly to the place and
Stern's excited talk made the officer
feel nervous also. When they arrived
at the bakery Heinz went straight to
the bedroom and the sight staggered
him for moment, but he examined
the supposed corpse and found to his
disgust that 1t was only dummy.
A sack had been stuffed with old
clothes and put under the blankets.
Then an old pair of trousers had been
rolled up to represent as closely as
possible a mans head and over it was
a towel which appeared to be satur-
ated with blood. Heinz examined the
knife and revolver, which was an old
rusty one, and on smelling the sup
posed blood he discovered that it was
the extract of root beer.
On the bedroom door were pinned
strips of black and white rags, and on
the front door was card with the in
scription Gone to the Klondike"
The humor of the situation struck
Heinz al once, but not so Stern who
could not get rid of the thought that
a murder had been committed Heinz
made inquiry in the neighborhood and
found that LOeff1er was very much in
arrears for his rent and was in debt
to a number Of people who had sup
piled him with goods. He told
friend Sunday night that he was go
ing to the Klondike and his creditors
could whistle for their money Before
leaving he took humorous way of an
nouncing his intention.

LOCKED UP
FOR ROBBERY
Andrew Pendergast Chased
and Captured Early Yester-*
day Morning.
1Ie and a Companion Robbed "a Man
on Julia and Minna Streets, but
the Victim Disappeared.

Andrew Pendergast, young man well
known to the police, is in the tanks al
the City Prison and a charge of robbery
may be booked against him if the man he
robbed will make himself known to the
police.
About l o'clock yesterday morning an
old man came running up to Policeman
Tillman and told him that two men had
krOcked down man at Julia and Minna
streets and were robbing him. Tillman
made run for the place and saw two
men running along Julia street and an
other man lying on the ground. He gave
chase to the two men and after pursuing
them for several blocks he overlook one
of them, who proved to be Pendergast.
He took him back to Julia and Minna
streets, but the man who had been robbed
had gone.
Tiliman took Pendergast to the City
Prison and would like to hear from the
victim as he wants to put a charge of
robbery against Pendergast and his part
ner as soon as he can find him. Tillman
has a good idea as to the identity of
the other robber.
There is a gang south of Market street
who watch men in saloons with money
and follow them till they get to a dark
spot and then rob them. Two of them
were arrested early Sunday morning for
robbing Thomas Nyhan on Sixth street
near Clementina.
