ALLEGED BOX CAR THIEVES ARE
ARRESTED BY SHERIFF STEPHENS
Premises Of Accused haexlcans Found
to Contain Cunnlngly Centrivsd
Cache In Which was Medley Of
Merchandise and Other Property.

Last Tuesday night box ear was
broken ,into on the Santa Fe tracks
north of town and a quantity Of
household goods stolen. The follow
ing morning W. 3. Clark. agent, aud
n special officer for the company
made a thorough examination after
which they secured II search warrant
and the assistance of Sheriff d. b.
Stephens. They searched Mexi-
cans house that they suspected, To-
Gated few blocks north of the
tracks from the ear broken into the
night before. This first search re-
vealed the household goods and a lot
Of other merchandise that had been
secretcd in the house including n
trunk belonging TO j. ". Dymond
that had been stolen from the plat
form of the Southern Pacific COM
rany about month ago and which
had never been located, although
strict search had been made by both
the company and city officers.
Jesus Sierra who lived in the house
was taken into custody. Later his
alleged accomplices, Jesus Monguia
and German Hernandez we've arrest
cd. After rigid examination of Je-
sus Sierra by Sheriff Stephens, il was
thought that more goods were still
hidden about the Mexican's house
The second search revealed n pit dug
in the yard some twelve feet dep
Hiied with trap door cunningly con.
cealed by earth and other rubbish
From this pit two tunnels had been
dug and in them was found two or
three Thousand pounds of stolen mer-
chandisc. In one was found over
two thousand pounds of flour. In
the other there was large quantity
of miscellaneous articles. Harry
Whitehill identified n saddle and set
of harness that had been stolen from
his nlac" few weeks ago. Also W.
" Merrill found set Of harness that
was stolen from him. The convic-
tion of these Mexicans will no doubt
stop the wave of robberies that have
beon reported for the last two
months.

He was rushed to the county

DISMISS
POLICE
OFFICER

Motorcycle Officer John Boday-
la of the Tacoma police force,
$3.50 Alder street, was summar-
lily discharged today by Chief
Loomis for having put his arm
around the waist of a 20-year-
old girl living in his neighbor-
hood, kissed her, and thrown her
to the ground when she offered
resistance.
The assault occurred after mid
night on Oct. 2. The girl, who
lives with her parents In South
Tacoma, and has supported the
family with her salary earned as
ticket-seller in a Pacific avenue
penny arcade, had gone home as
usual on the owl South Tacoma
car.
Girl Puts Up Fight.
Bodayla was partially intoxtcat-
ed, according to the girl and his
own admission. He alighted at
the same street with the girl, and
as soon as the car had moved on,
put his arm around her waist.
The girl struggled to extricate
herself. The policeman seized her
more tightly and kissed her SOW
eral times on the lips and cheeks.
Screaming and kicking, she
made frantic struggle to yet
away, but Bodayla, she charges,
threw her forcibly to the lawn of
a yard that they were passing.
Bodayla says they merely fell into
ditch. The girls clothing was
torn badly. Without further at
tack, Bodayla leaped to his feet
and ran away.
Relieved Of Star.
The girls father started out
next morning with a gun in
search of Bodayla, but gave up
the quest at midday. Since that
time the girl has made no conI-
plant. :.
Friday, however, she notified
County Detective Fred Shaw of
the assault, with the result that
Officer Bodayla was temporarily
suspended, Following a nrief
hearing today in Chief LOOMS
office, the suspension was made
permanent, and Bodayla was re-
lieved of his police star and dep
uty sheriff's badge.
Bodayla was speed cop" .ap-
Grating on a police motorcycle.
He had been appointed two years
ago, and was married eight
months.
