SHOWS THE POLICE
HOW IT'S DONE.
Nevada Sheriff Comes to
This City and Captures
a Trio of Horsethieves
ON TRAIL OF A GANG

New. is an exemplar OF the fact that
there are officers IN this Western conn
try who can apprehend criminals.
Dixon is the typical sheriff. He ;s
tall, slight and silent, and he does no,
like newspaper notoriety.
Dixon. just to show the San Fran
cisco police what an officer can do. came
down from Nevada and arrested three
men who had stolen fifty head of Young
horses from the Sagebrush State. He
not only recovered the horses. but he
has Jailed the men, whom he captured
at the ferry depot, and he is awaiting
eNtradition papers N order to take
them home.
1t appears that the want of horses
in this city has set a gang of horse
thieves to work. and hundreds of
equines have been stolen from Nevada
and are being used n hauling debris
on the streets OF San Francisco.
Sheriff Dixon is stopping at the Sa
yoy and when asked for particulars
declined to give any He said that he
would like more time. and intfmated
that he was on the trail OF more
horses.
Contractors who have bought horses
from men hailing from Nevada would
better be careful, as Sheriff Dixon ba
an unerring eye for a horse that has
been raised in the Sagebrush State.
