Recovered the Wheel

Detective Hawley yesterday arrested a
man who gave the name Of Jerome W.
Shannon, on charge Of stealing bicycle
belonging to Mexican boy. The boy left
his wheel standing at the curb at First
and Main streets while he went into store
to transact some business. When he came
out the wheel was missing. He searched
up Main street and discovered Shannon in
B. Fanta's pawnshop trying to dispose OF
the bicycle. For some reason no deal was
made and the boy traced Shannon and his
wheel into the Our House saloon. Hawley
went to the place and discovered Shannon
in a rear room, apparently asleep. The
bicycle was recovered at the same time.

Youth
George sotnieff has been looking for his
boy since last Sunday. but thus far has
been unable to get any trace of him. The
youngster is about II years Of age, and for
the past three years has manifested a pre-
dNection for deserting from home. He has
caused his father considerable expense and
much worry as result OF his actions.
About two years ago the boy, accom-
panied by a companion about his own age,
started north, but was intercepted bv the
officers. Last year he went norm again
and succeeded in getting to San Francisco
where he was captured. His father Is
greatly worried and has been at the police
station every day inquiring anxiously after
his missing son. He thinks the boy is still
in the city.

FIRE COMMISSIONERS
Underground Alarm Working-New
Horses for the Departmeut

Horses Tor the department
Routine matters only occupied the atten-
ton of the board of fire commissioners at
yesterdays meeting. little business Of gen.
eral interest being transacted.
Chief Mooore reported that on the Sd
inst, while responding to an alarm, the
horse attached to cart No. 2 picked up a
nail in the hoof and died Of lockjaw The
horse bore the name Of Jim Blaine and for
ten years past has done good service.
A requisition was presented for $3.50 to
purchase two new horses, one to take the
place Of Jim Blaine and also a horse for
the chief. Commissioner Kuhrts COM
mented on the embarrassment he felt In
seeing the CHIEF driving about the streets
behind horse that should be drawing a
vegetable wagon.
City Electrician Frances reported that in
connection with the matter of placing the
fire alarm wires underground, in addition
to the facilities offered by the terms Of
franchise Of several companies, negotia-
tions are now under way with the Sunset
Telegraph and Telephone company which
will result in a large saving to the depart
ment, and at the same time give a reliable
and flexible service, entirely available for
the city's needs.
For several days Francis has had signal
circuit No. working underground from
Second and Broadway to Naud's junction,
with satisfactory results. At the next
meeting of the council definite PROPOSE
tion in this regard will probably be submit
ted by the Telephone company.
On motion of Mr.. Wells the board took up
the matter of purchasing of department
supplies under contract. The chief re-
ported as to what supplies were now being
purchased under contract; also what sup
plies are bought for which there Is no con-
tract. 1t was the opinion of the members
that all supplies for which there is no con-
tract should be purchased in considerable
amounts where such arrangements would
lessen the expense. The chief was in
structed accordingly.
Chief Moore reported that the following
companies had practice drills on the Sd
inst: Engine Company No. 3, at a. m
at the Bullard block; Truck B at a. M
at Wilcox block.
The Combination Oil company was
granted permission to bore for oil in block
SO Of the Angelina Heights tract.
The communication from the Fiesta
committee, asking that the fire apparatus
be directed to parade during Fiesta week
was again laid over, the mayor remarking
that war may do away with the necessity
Of a parade of the department.
Chief Moore was instructed to present a
report showing the condition of the relief
fund.
