RODENTS WERE HIS
: PARTICULAR FANCY
DEATH OF "BoB," A DISTIN
GUISHED CANINE.
A Sagacious Dog Who Passed Away
Recently at Ripe Old
Age.

Bob" is dead. He was not a human
being, but a plain, ordinary Scotch ter
rier who gained distinction by living to
a ripe old age and killing nearly two
million rats.
These rodents were crushed between
the jaws of the sagacious canine dur
ing his twenty-four years lease of life
in and about the vicinity of the Cali
fornia Market.
Bob" was beloved by the visitors to
Collins & Wheeland's saloon, and his
death will be sad news to them. He was
known as the pioneer dog, and was
celebrated the world over for his
steady habits and clever ways. Bob"
drifted into the well-known resort
when a puppy and was so well salts
fed with his surroundings that he took
up his abode there.
He soon arrived at an age when the
rats in the neighborhood feared him.
Bob" in his prime averaged forty
rodents a day.
The dogs regular habits won him
recognition. Every day between the
hours of IL and 1 o'clock he would
nudge a customer on the shin and APP
peal for a drink. Water would always
be given him and he would follow his
usual custom of making war on the
enemy. III Tic SNeHlHS TIC WOulu uiS
nifiedly trot to Bush and Montgomery
or Sacramento and Montgomery for ex-
ercise This trip he never missed.
The dead dog was the especial pet of
old-timers. George Barnes, the we'll
known newspaper man, now passed
away, devoted a half column to de-
scribing his habits. Many tales are
told of his cleverness.

his sorrowing friends say was his dy-
ing request and it will be carried out.

for One Hundred Days.

Frank Tyrrell, the deputy poundkeep-
er. who was convicted by Judge Mogan
Friday on the charge of using vulgar and
offensive language in the shop of c.
Tassi. butcher, 233 Fifth street. Wednes-
day evening appeared for sentence Satur-
day morning.
The Judge, in passing sentence of 5000
fine or 100 days in the County Jail upon
the defendant, said:
''This defendant on Wednesday, even
ing last about o'clock unlawfully en-
tered the butcher-shop of G. Tassi, 239
Fifth street. in this city and county, for
the purpose of Selling a valuable spaniel
belonging to Mr.. Tassi.
1.-The butcher-shop~of Tassi at the said
hour was crowded with women and chill
dren intent on purchasing meats, etc.
The defendant in the presence of the
and disgusting vulgar language that any
human being could give utterance to. He
was asked by number Of citizens who
were attracted by his conduct. to desist
on account of the presence of women, but
instead of desisting, the defendant re-
peated the vile language again in the
presence Of the women and n number of
citizens, and fiourished a revolver in an
angry and threatening manner. Mr.. Tassi
is a quiet, respectable citizen and tax
payer and the hoodlum action of de-
PENDANT In Tassi's place of business in
the heart of the city, on this evening,
was an outrage for which, 1 think, de-

Poundmaster Osborn was in court when

V0URAKY TENDERS
HIS RESIGNATION
THE LINGUIST OF THE FORCE
SURRENDERS Els STAR.
Fearing Another Hearing Before the
Commissioners, lie Wisely
Concludes to Resign.

Policeman Vouraky, the linguist of
the Police Department, has rendered
his resignation to the Police Commits
sioners.
Harassed by his creditors and dis
gusted with the life of a policeman,
Vouraky, acting under the advice of his
father-in-law, decided to sever his con-
nection with the department. A few
weeks ago Vouraky was before the
Commissioners charged with unofficer-
like conduct. The evidence showed
that he and his wife had boarded a
street car intending to go to Golden
Gate Park. Vouraky rendered the con-
ductor ten-cent piece and not know
ing that he was a member of the police
force he rang up two fares. Not re-
ceiving the nickel in change that he
had expected, Vouraky showed his star,
and in a boiSterouS manner proceeded
to call the conductor to an account.
The latter explained that he did not
know that Vouraky was a policeman,
but as he had registered both fares he
advised him to see the superintendent
who, he thought, would rectify the mis-
take. Vouraky subsequently went to
the office of the superintendent and ex-
hibiting his star threatened to pinch
those present unless the nickel which
he claimed he was robbed of was
promptly Forthcoming.
Instead of being received with open
arms, as he thought, the superintend-
ent rather coldly informed him that if
he wanted the nickel he would have to
commence suit against the company.
Vouraky then left, after vowing ven
geance against the superintendent and
everybody connected with the railroad.
Angered at his conduct the superin-
tendent on the following day visited
police headquarters and reported the
occurrence to Chief Lees. The latter
after listening to the story, advised
him to prefer charges against the po-
liceman. The case was heard by the
Commissioners and Vouraky was Sc
verely reprimanded for what Judge To-
bin, the president of the board, termed
his consummate cheek. Since then his
creditors have been mot on his trail,
as one CT his superior officers expressed
it, and knowing that he would again
be brought before the Commissioners
for refusing to pay his debts he wisely
concluded to hand in his resignation.

-DENIALs OF WHOLESALERS
ENOUGH BACILLI TO INFECT
THE WHOLE REGI MENT.

CAMP BARRETT, SATHER TRACT,
Sept. 3.-The only two topics of discus
sion among the men of the Eighth Reg
iment to-day were the discovery of in
fected and diseased beef mentioned in
to-day's Call. and the fact that the
regiment Is not included in the mus
tered out regiments. Over this latter
fact the soldiers are rejoicing. From
the day of their arrival in camp they
have contented themselves with what
ever fell to their lot. They have neither
grumbled over not being sent to the
front nor petitioned to be sent home.
The men are considerably agitated,
however, over the meat scandal. The
diseased beef in question contained Suf-
ficient bacilli of tuberculosis to spread
this dread disease throughout the en-
tire regiment, and, as one Of the Off
GERS put it to-day, "the action Of Sam
sons market in supplying such infect
ed meat for personal gain and with
out any regard for the health and well
fare of the men who are willing to sac
rtfice their lives for the nation is out
rageouS."
DR.. Baker, head of the Government
inspection service on this coast, was in
Oakland to-day and inspected the meat
which was seized by the health au-
thorities. He declared that no United
States inspector had ever passed such
meat. 1t was claimed that the beef
was received by Samson from the
Western Meat Company. but repre-
sentative from that concern denies that
1t came from their slaughter houses at
Baden. The health authorities now
propose to prosecute Samson under the
Oakland ordinance.
M. M. Samson, the contractor who
supplied the meat, states that the pres
ent difficulty comes from the enmity
existing between Inspector Pierce and
himself, and because he is not mem
Der of the butchers association. He
admits, however, that one of the car
casses had a boil on it's neck, but that
1t was all inspected meat and therefore
wholesome.
The funeral of George Perry of Com
pany B, Eighth Regiment, who died at
Fabiola Hospital yesterday from
rett, took place this afternoon from
Albert Browns parlors in Oa''" nd.
His comrades gathered under cor .I..and
of the officers at the parlors and after
ward escorted the body to the train for
San Jose, where the parents of deceased
reside. Perry was 10 years of age and
his was the first case of typhoid in the
camp.
The funeral of Barton ]. Brown, the
Iowa soldier who died across the bay,
was held about the same time at the
same place and about tWenty-four COM
rades escorted the remains to the train
for shipment to Iowa
Tonight Rev. Knodell addressed the
soldiers in the big tent of the Christian
Commission.

THEIR LITTLE GAME
HAS BEEN SPOILED
TWO BUNKo MEN WERE TRYING
TO ROB A MINER.
Arrested for Vagrancy to Keep
Them Out of Mischief.

A little bunko game Matched by William
H. Brown and James Mcdonald, who
hoped to relieve returned Klondiker of
his hard earned gold, was stopped by the
two worthy gentlemen being arrested on
the charge of vagrancy by Policeman
Leonard, who had heard of their desire
and efforts to fleece Robert Brown, who
is stopping at the Russ House.
Mr.. Brown returned from the gold fields
something over a week ago anu took a
room at the Ahlborn House. While there
he was spotted by his namesake and Nc
Donald, who Immediately investigated his
financial condition and finding that his
years labor in Alaska had netted the
miner goodly share of nuggets, began to
devise ways and means to secure the gold
for their own use. They soon made friends
with him, and one or the other was with
him constantly.
dil1er, who was stranger in the city, but
their attentions at last became too con-
slant and ne 6egan to tire of his
the men had any designs on his gold, but
simply wishing to be rid of their society,
Brown changed his quarters to the Russ
House, neglecting to inform them of his
removal.
1t took the shrewd Mcdonald and
Brown but a short time to find their pros
tow again. Their little scheme would
probably have succeeded had not w. H.
Brown been SO well known in the city. A
banking man in business directly across
from the Russ House happened to know
him as bunko man, and when he noticed
him being with the miner so much sus-
pected something in the criminal line was
Contemplated and notified the policeman.
The policeman knew both the men as
persons who would bear watching, and
believing, as his informant, that thew
were planning to rob the miner, arrested
them on the charge of vagrancy W. H.

the police think that the public is much
safer with him and Mcdonald behind the
