Mrs. G. c. Burnside Of Los Angeles,
who used her trunk as a jewel casket
and thus lost the valuables, has be-
come the center of an incident which
may shortly bring Captain of Police
Mooney before the police commission
ers with q sharp jolt. Mrs. Burnside,
who is staying at the Audubon hotel
IN Ellis street, reported her loss TO
the police last night through the
medium OF Billy Harrison, proprietor
OF the Bouquet saloon, 1877 Post
street.
Harrison sent his bar tender. Gus
Hackett, to the Bush street station to
bring Detective Louis Cornelius TO the
Bouquet cafe to interview Mrs. Burn
side relative to the theft. Hackett ran
into Captain Mooney and was called
down. in so violent a manner that Har-
rison has reported the case TO Chief of
Police Dinan. who is now preparing
charges TO file against the Bush street
captain. In the meantime Mrs. Burn
sides jewels. which have value some
where on the meager side Of $1,000, are
INDICATED. but Cornelius is working on
the case and believes that he can trace
the gems.
Mrs Burnside arrived in this city
from Los Angeles a few days ago. On
Wednesday she moved from her orig
insl lodgings TO the Audubon. When
she unpac1ed her belongings later in
the week she found that her diamonds
and other jewels had been stolen She
made known her loss about the hotel.
W. z. Stanlif, a commercial traveller
stopping at the Audubon. took an in
terest in the case and volunteered to
assist Mrs. Burnside in communicating
with the police. Mrs. Burnside did not
wish to go TO the police station, so
last night she accompanied the COM
mercial traveller to the rear of Harri-
sons saloon in Post street. Harrison,
who inherits his politics from his IL
lustrious uncle, Chris Buckley. prom
ised to do what he could for the lady
in distress and dispatched his bar
tender 10 the Bush street station to
fetch Detective Cornelius to the scene.
"Hackett went to the station" said
Harrison later in the evening, and
saw Mooney. Mooney is a lush and
had been drinking heavily, and he got
after Hackett and denounced me on
account of the fact that I am a friend
OF Chief Dinan's. You fellows have
about reached the end Of your string
he said, referring to Dinan and me. He
was profane and disorderly and hustled
Hackett out of the station When
Hackett came back and told me what
this fellow Mooney had said I called
on Dinan. and now the chief is draw
ing up charges which viii be brought
against Mooney. I'm going TO swear
10 the charges just as soon as Dinan
has them ready"
The relations already existing be-
tween Mooney and Dinan are so tender
that to touch them leaves a livid mark
and the chief viii expedite with full
vigor the bringing Of the new COM
plant
In spite Of the fine rage with which
Mooney greeted Mrs. Burside's mes
senger, Detective Cornelius hastened to
the saloon and there met Mrs. Burnside
and Stanlif. The story of the missing
jewels was told 10 the officer, and he
IS now engaged in calculating the mys-
terry with as much vigor, Mrs. Burn
side hopes, as Dinan is putting into
the preparation of the charges against
Mooney.
