Bib, for thirty years a prominent
4umberman and builder Of San Fran
cisco. today occupied a cell in the po-
lice station here. Bib was arrested
upon a dispatch received by the local
police from acting Chief OF Police
W.,ll of San Francisco stating that Bibb
had been indicted by grand jdry on a
charge made by business partner and
is held as a fugitive from justice. When
seen today Bibb said that his arrest
was a matchmaking scheme. I
own a third interest in patent which
was invented by Professor John [.
Montgomery Of Santa Clara, California.
The professor, myself and Charles S.
Wheeler, millionaire Of San Francisco,
own equal shares in it. Christopher
A. Buckley has been trying to get in
on it. NV arrest is Buckley's second
attempt to delay us from getting the
patents. We have two basic patents.
ard are here now 70 secure three sub
siliary patents. Some time ago | put
up some buildings for Buckley and
foolishly gave him chance to get at
me- 1t is his innings now but mine is
coming soon.' Bibb has been here
with Professor Montgomery for about a
week. His attorneys stated today they
expected no trouble in securing his re-
lease.
This city's ultra-fashionable saloon
inspector, F. Odcn Horstmann, So
ciety man and member. of the Metropol-
itan and Chevy Chase clubs, was re-
moved from office today by the excise
board upon formal charge OF insubor-
dination. Horstmann has threatened
to make charges against the members
OF the hoard and his dismissal followed
his action in making reports directly
to the district commissioners instead OF
his immediate superiors. 1t was upon
the advice OF his physician, who said
he was getting bit too plump, that
Horstmann sought employment in the
municipal service. His physical exer-
else in making inspections and the
mental excitement of his clash with
the board have put him i'll fine trim
for the coming social season.
