Burglars entered the saloon of D. E.

Policeman T. P. Riordan that cigars of
the value of $50, nineteen pints of
champagne of different brands valued
at $24, eight bottles of whisky valued at
s11 and a bottle of brandy valued at 50
were missing. The burglars We're also
successful in working the combination
of the safe, but after the door was
opened they were confronted with a
locked strong box. They evidently were
prepared for such an emergency with
tools, as the box was broken open and
the contents-$150 in coin-stolen.
The burglars also ransacked every
drawer in the place, and the floor was
strewn with papers and other articles
that had been in the drawers. En-
trance was ooIdlHcu W means VI d idu-

against the First street entrance to the
saloon. They climbed up the ladder to
the transom, and the rest was easy.
The ladder was found about 100 feet
from the saloon.
Captain Martin was notified and two
detectives were detailed on the case,

A thief with a fancy for diamond
rings mixed among the frequenters Of
the Hammam baths, at Ii Grant ave-

two that sparlxIed on the fingers of two
of the sleeping bathers, who had not
taken the precaution to leave their jew
els in the box assigned to each.
b. H Mclaughlin of the Royal House,
126 Ellis street, and F. j. Finch of Re
dondo, who is at present stopping at
637 Post street, were the victims. Nc
Laughlin's stone was 81 carats and
was valued at $3.50, while Fineh's was
two carats and was valued at 1915. The
rings were on their fingers when they
went to sleep after having a bath. but
when they awoke the rings had disap-
peared.
Thinking that an attendant might
have taken the rings off as a precau-
tionary measure while they were asleep.
they fastened to the clerk, who dashed
their hopes to the ground by assuring
them that he knew absolutely nothing
about the rings. The attendants were
questioned, but denied any knowledge
of the missing jewels. Then it dawned
upon them that a thief had been in
their midst, and a telephone message
was sent to police headquarters.
Detectives Bunner and Freel were de-
tailed on the case.
