Robberies Said to Have Been Com
mitted by Tenderloin Habitues,

The police have been recently receiv-
ing complaints of robberies i'm certain
disorderly houses on Raymond court.
The parties making the complaints 8
have refused i'm every instance to ap-
pear against those whom they accused
on account of the unpleasant notoriety
which might ensue.
The police accordingly hit upon a
plan for the prosecution of the alleged
guilty parties after satisfying them
selves that they We're really guilty. One
of the houses, that of Lucy Miller, was
raided on Saturday night last and
when the prisoners We're arraigned be-
fore Magistrate Howe on Sunday morn
ing they We're fined more heavily than
any other similar prisoners have been
i'm many months.
The proprietess was fined $50 and
each of the female inmates $25 each
The male inmates were fined SIS each.
None We're able to pay and all We're
bundled into the patrol wagon yester-
day morning and taken to the county
Jail, where they will spend the next
three months.
If other robberies are reported from
these places the inmates will be ar
rested and fined similarly.
