Johnson, the saloon keeper, says
there was fight In the saloon last
night and he thinks that some one in
volved in the trouble was the author
of the outrage. The fact that man
named T. ]. Gallagher held a joint
lease OF the saloon with Johnson, led
to the rumor that the building be-
longed to the former Supervisor J..
L. Gallagher, the principal witness
for the graft prosecution, whose
houses I'm Oakland were recently dyn-
amited. but this proved untrue. The
former supervisor has brother OF

saloon, who is no relation, and De-
tective Burns thinks that the men
who caused the explosion may have
confused the men. This ia admitted,
however, to be merely a surmise,
