Luigi Ciceroni's journey from Ma
pies to Los Angeles, via San Francis
co, was rather uneventful until he ar
| rived at the foot of Market street and
there he dropped into an experience
that will make interesting and in

Jack Holiday he fell into the hands

wagon, who forcibly took possession
of him, and his baggage and drove
them to various hotels before he de-
posted them at an Italian hostelry
and insisted upon being paid 81 so for

defendant, rushed into the store. dec
Grated with the watch and chain, de-
prived of $12 SO and rushed out again
ere he could exoostulate.
