SUPPOSED BURGLAR SEIZED
AND HURRIED TO PRISON
moffensive Bootblack Roughly Han
died by Lodgers, Who Thought
They Had Captured Thief.

OAKLAND, Jan. 18.-Cours Ger
vera, a harmless Greek bootblack, was
mistaken for a burglar this morning
before daylight in lodging-house at
Seventeenth street and San Pablo ave-
nue., set upon by half a dozen awaken
ed dodgers, felled by numerous fist
blows, roped hands and feet and held
until the police were called in hot
haste. The badly frightened prisoner
was hauled to the City Jail, where
Captain of Police Petersen confronted
the man.
Cervera excitedly and brokenly ex-
planned that he had gone to the house
to rent a room. He had wandered
through the halls in search of the
landlord, when he was suddenly seized.
The prisoner made matters worse by
flying into a spasm of terror, which
was mistaken for resistance. He could
not explain himself in English and
helplessly submitted to capture.
Captain Petersen discharged the un-
fortunate bootblack after his identity
and good character had been estab-
lished
