6 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JANUARY 10, 1898. FAILEDTO RETURN T0 HER HOME Middle-Aged Woman Mysteriously Dis- appears. Went to Visit Her Sister’s Graye Calvary Cemetery. mn Mrs. Prunty, 19 Sumner Street Regquests the Police to Find Her Daughter. SHE MAY BE DERANGED. Her Pocket Handkerchief Found on Her Relative’s Tomb- stone. ‘With tears streaming down her woman named Mrs. 19 muer street, vis- 1 ast night and £ Lees in finding cheeks an old Prunty, Jiving at ited police I 3¢ years of age. She ay morning to her sister in Calvary ing to return at not returned up to 8 it her mother became notified the police. She that some accident had befallen her daughter. Several months ago a younger sister of the missing woman was knocked down by a Mission street car and al- most instantly killed. Her tragic death preyed upon her sister to such an ex- tent that it was feared that she would lose ‘her mind. fter the unfortunate woman's re- s were buried Katie almost daily r grave, and remained for several hours at a time. On returning home it was noticed that her eyes were red and sv n from weeping. She be- came sullen and morose and scarcely spoke to her mother. Before golng to the cemetery yesterday the unfortunate woman remarked to a friend that life had no charms for her and that she in- tended to do away with herself. Mrs. Prunty is inclined to believe that daughter has either met with an accident or has committed suicide. “Since her sister was killed,” tearfully remarked, ‘‘she has not been the same woman. ry morning she would visit her grave and remain for several hours. I feared that her mind was becoming unbalanced, and for- bade her to continue ts to the cemetery. Despite opposition she daily went to. her sister's grave and placed a bunch of flowers on it. She would kneel at the foot of the grave and pray until she became exhausted. Before leaving home yesterday morn ing she bought a bouquet -of flowers and started for the cemetery. I en- deavored to dissuade her from going, but she would not listen to me. I am convinced that something has hap- pened her.” Last night a police officer was sent to the cemetery in the hope that he might find the woman. He visited the grave of her sister, but with the ex- ception of a pocket handkerchief, which she -had dropped, he failed to get a trace of her. 3 BEATING THE SLOT MACHINES Clever Work of a Gang of Eastern Crooks Now in This City. Cigar and Saloon Men Are Heavy Losers—A Wire Does the Business. A new scheme to beat the nickel-in- the-lot machines, that has brought woe and financial loss to a large number of saloon men and cigar-dealers, has been called to the attention of the police. The bunko men who have worked it successfully are three in number, and their method is systematic. One of them visits a cigar-store and | plays the maching. ‘While he is dropping the nickels the others come along and begin shaking dice at the other end of the counter | from the machine, keeping the pro- prietor or attendant’s attention there as much as possible. The man at the machine has a wire, with one end twisted into a hook, up his sleeve, and when a portion of a royal flush shows up quickly and deftly works the wire into the slot, turns the reel on which the cards are fastened and- suddenly calls a royal flush. It is there sure enough, and the card over the machine indicates that the proprietor is out 100 cigars. Some pay th; It is customary when a customer gets & “royal” to offer him $5 to $7 50 for his winning, and the schemers who work the wire trick generally manage to negotiate their cigars for at least $5. In saloons they do not get so much, but it has been ascertained that the three men average from $30 to $40 per day. Oakland and Alameda have been worked by the trio, and a large number of cigar and saloon men were losers. A well-known cigar man on Market street caught the wire-worker at his tricks a few days ago and sent for a policeman, but the trio decamped be- fore the officer arrived. Two of the bunko men are smooth shaven and about 5 feet 8 inches in height, while the third, the man who manipulates the wire, is shorter, and wears a dark, closely cropped beard.: All are well dressed and are evidently adepts at crooked work. The police believe them to be a gang of Eastern crooks who are making a tour of the coast. — e "HE SPOKE FOR CHRIST. Elder Andross Addresses Many Young Women on Religion. Elder E. E. Andross had charge of a speclal meeting at the Y. W. C. A. yes- ‘terday afternoon. The beautiful apart- ments at 1269 O'Farrell street were she | evz 150 cigars, and ‘‘bit” cigars at | comfortably filled with those who de- sired to hear the word expounded by the elder. | The talk was somewhat informal, be- | | ing a pleasant address on the life and | | services of Jesus Christ. The speaker | | held that the coming of the lowly Naz- | | arene meant much to the world; that | it was the beginning of a richer and | higher civilization as well as of moral training and religious life such as the world had re%er seen and can never | see again. In conclusion, the speaker | urged all present to make the life of | Christ their study and guide. BANQUET FOR ROBERT DICKSON. Underwriters Will Enter- tain in His Honor at the Palace Hotel. Robert Dickson, the well-known in- | surance man, who leaves shortly for New York, will be the guest of honor at a banquet to be tendered him by the | underwriters on Wednesday evening a't the Palace Hotel. On Tuesday even- | ing Colin M. Boyd will give a dinner complimentary to Mr. Dickson in the private dining-room at the Cosmos | Club. | On saturday evening, January 1, the residence of Mr. and Mrs. T. O'Nelll, | 2215 Devisadero street, was the scene of | & very brilliant affair, on which occas- | fon a party was tendered to their little | | daughter, Miss Hattie O'Neill. The young folks assembled were the many friends of the young lady, who were confirmed with her on the Sunday previous at St. Dominie’s Church. The house and parlors were tastefully | | decorated with ferns, smilax and ever-| greens. | The Genial Whist Club is making elaborate preparations for its ladies’ | high jinks to be held on the 15th inst., at their club house, corner Van Ness avenue and Bush street. KRAFT AGAIN | A PROFESSIONAL The Crack Cycler and Several Others No Longer Amateurs. Opening of the Wheeimen's Baseball Tournament—McFarland Returns. The Board of Governors of the Cali- fornia Associated Cycling Clubs met in Alameda Saturday night and decided to rescind its action taken at a former meeting restoring Charles A. Kraft to | the amateur ranks, and again declared | him a professional. The applications of C. J. Birdsall, A. Theisen and J. S. Brereton to be reinstated as amateurs was also refused. The good rogds | proposition was also discussed at| | length, and it was decided to give more | attention to this branch of the associa- | tion’s work in future. | The Cycle Board of Trade held its annual banquet Saturday night at a | downtown restaurant. James M. Ham- |ilton presided, and the jolly gathering | 1asted until a late hoar. | Those present at the banquet were: C. T. Forden, president; James H. | Hamilton, secretary; P. H. Bernays, W. J. Kenny, Wakefield Baker, Judge | Fred Brand, E. D. Roach, A. C. Nich- |olas, E. A. Hunt, Mr. Turkelsen, C. | W. Bailey, F. McLaughlin, C. M. Chris- toffer, Joseph Holle, Robert Malcolm, | Edwin Mohrig, Mr. Benton, E. Marwe- | del, Mr. Wilber, Charles Watts and | Frank S. Jacott. | Floyd A. McFarland, the San Jose | professional racer, who has been on the | Eastern paths the past year, has re- turned for the winter. He made con- | siderable money, but thinks the game will not be so profitable hereafter, as | the manufacturers no longer support | teams or pay fat salaries and a man's expenses. Middle-distance racing is | more in demand, and the sprinters will have to accustom themselves to this | style of riding. McFarland will go to his San Jose home to-day. The Cycle Baseball League tourna- ment opened yesterday. The Acme Club defeated the Californias at the |\"elodr0me by a score of 9 to 8. Bat- | teries: Acme—Hanifin and Rupert; | Californias—Theisen and Cunha. | At the Sixteenth and Folsom streets | grounds the Bay City Wheelmen played the Olympic Cyclers, winning ‘by 13 to 7. Joe Corbett, the Baltimore's | star twirler, played third base for the Olympics. Batteries: Bay City—Mec- Gilvray and T. Hall; Olympic—Head | ana Follansbee. | A great deal of interest was mani- | fested in both games, and large crowds | attended. The game at the Sixteenth- | street grounds was called at 12 o'clock, | | 2nd as soon as it was over the cyclers | mounted their wheels and sped away | for the Velodrome game, which began |at 2 o'clock. The umpiring at the lat- | ter game was very unsatisfactory, and | the Californias claim they lost by bad | sions. \de'f“he Imperials were scheduled to play the Garden City Wheelmen at San | Jose, but did not go down, and the | game was given to the San Jose club | by default; score, 9 to 0. —_————————— CHIQUITA @ DRAWING-CARD. Thousands Visit the Human Atom. Small Crowds Gather at the Park and CIiff. Chiquita, said to be the smallest llv- ing adult, was visited by several thou- sand people at the Chutes yesterday. The park and Cliff House were prac- tically deserted, perhaps owing to the lowering clouds and the breath of win- | ter that chilled to the very marrow. In consequente wherever a roof and shel- tering walls could be found to protect those in search of diversion after a | week of toil the crowds congregated. Over seven thousand people visited the Chutes during the day, and as two | performances were given by “The little one” in the pavilion a majority of the visitors witnessed her performance. | Chiquita is & very atom of human | flesh. She has a chubby face and fig- ure, which, accompanied by a person- ality as cute as her stature, made her many friends. During the performance | she rendered several songs, some in Spanish and others in English. Her voice is in perfect keeping with her size, and called forth time and again the applause of the audience. The programme at the park was an unusually good one, but the chill in | the air marred the enjoyment of the | lovers of harmony who gathered to- gether near the music-stand. No acci- dents occurred to worry the police and hospital surgeons and they were con- tented. A majorily of the people who went to the Cliff House enjoyed the dance in the Ocean Beach Pavilion. Walking on the beach was rendered very un- comfortable by the wind and spray that leaped from the crests of the | December 24 has led to the conclusion | which he was standing faces to the breakers, and owing to this the pleas- ure-seekers returned to their homes much earlier than usual. THE SHOT THAT HIT GARDINER Speculation as to Which of the Two Men Fired It. Cirecumstances Show ThatStroh Could Hardly Have Done It. Questions Raised by the Finding of the Bullet in Gardiner’s | Spine. The finding of the bullet fired into the body of Gardiner on the night of that perhaps the leaden pellet came‘[ from a friendly revolver instead of | from that of the midnight marauder. Dr. Jones, by whose efforts the bul- let was located, declares that it enter- | ed Gardiner's right shoulder from an | angle of 30 degrees. This is the start- ing point in the search for where fit | came from. ‘When he was shot Gardiner was standing in the doorway of the rear room of his residence, at 1135 Geary street, on the south side. The door in east and opens out on a little porch scarcely five feet square, which is at the top of the back stairway leading from the back yard, three stories be- low. Directly across the little porch from the door spring two posts to the roof, one on each side of the center line of the doorway, and climbing up the one which was at Gardiner's left hand as he looked out, was Stroh, the pursued burglar. Four feet beyond the posts is the side of the adjoining house east of the Gardiner residence, and perhaps ten feet farther to the rear of the building is a brick chim- ney about three feet high. ‘When Ggrdiner looked out he had the screen door opening on the porch not quite half way open. The burglar | was almost directly in front of him and on the roof of the adjoining house, and nearly as far to the rear as the brick chimney was Murphy, the patrol driv- er, looking for Stroh. There was a | flash and a report, and Gardiner fell backwards into the room with a bullet in his right shoulder. Almost in the | center of the door and at a height of | five feet four inches from the floor, a | hole in the screen marks where the bul- let went through. The wires are cut clean at the top of the hole and are crushed at the bottom, leading to the certainty that the bullet came from above. They are also turned to the left on the left side of the hole looking outward, showing that the bullet came from a point at Gardi- ner’s right. As he held the latch Gard- iner's shoulder was below and to the left of the hole. Stroh, as he came down the post, | was facing toward Geary street, or to | the north, and to use his right hand to | fire a shot he would have had to reach around the pole. Had he done so he could not have fired in such a manner as to bend the wires of the door to the right. Both the burglar and the patrol driv- er were at about the same angle from the bullet hole, for while at different distances they were at different heights and so were about in the same plane. Detective Dillon and Murphy were on the roof of the house adjoining Gardi- ner’s when Dillon heard some one cry- | ing, “Here he is.” Dillon immediate- ly started down the ladder at the rear of the house he was on, and Murphy sprang to the sidé of the house and looked over on to the little porch out- side of Gardiner’s back door. He flash- | ed the light from his wagon lamp down into the space between the buildings and spied the man he was after trying to climb the post to get an the roof. He says he fired over his head to scare him, and the man dropped to the little | porch | Mu: phy heard no shot but his own; | Dillon heard but one shot; Gardiner heard but one shot, and his wife, who | stood right behind him as he fell, heard | only one shot. Murphy says he fired over Stroh’s head, but he does not know in which direction his pistol was pointed, and a careful examination of the houses in any of the directions in | which he could have shot failed to | find any other bullet mark besides the one in the screen door. Then, too, there are no powder marks on the ten- nis-flannel night gown which Gardi- ner woge, a circumstance to be expect- ed when a revolver is as close as six | feet. Murphy was fourteen feet away. | Stroh had no pistol on him when he | was caught. It was sald he could have | | thrown it down into the sand in the yard in the rear of Gardiner’s house and one of his partners could have tak- en it away, but no cne was seen in the | yard, and it would have been hard to | find the pistol without the aid of a light. The bullet extracted from Gardiner’s | body was fired from a .38 caliber re- volver and from a “short” cartridge. | The revolver carried by Murphy was | loaned to him by Detective Dillon just | before he went on the roof. It was a | .38 caliber Smith & Wesson, and uses | a “short” cartridge. Gardiner himself sent for Captain Lees a few days ago, and told him he thought the bullet had not been fired | by Stroh. He said he did not have any | sympathy for Stroh, but he dtd not | want to be the means of making his | punishment unjustly hard; in conse-“ quence he altered that part of his | statement which accused Stroh of | shooting him, but he blamed no one | else. HEBREW HOME FOR POOR. The Annual Meeting Held at Which the Old Officers Were Re-Elected, The annual meeting of the Hebrew Home for Aged Disabled was held at the society’s building at 507 Lombard street yesterday afternoon. There was a good attendance of the patrons of the society. President 8. Polack, in rendering an account of the society's | work for the past year, read an item- 1aed list of what had been received and | distributed by the officers = having charge. In consequence of the age and | infirmness of the matron, Mrs. Flom" Israel, she was permitted to resign and | Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Scott were placed in charge as superintendent and | matron respectively. The thanks of the | society were tendered to Dr. E. M. Weiss | for the attention given the inmates during the last year. Also to%he Eur- eka Benevolent Society for favors and | financial aid rendered to the soclety.i The spym of $800 was given the home | from the estate of the following de- | | &ll who aided the soclety in its work of, | from contraband fish and meats. | son and shipped | ing nets were being disregarded. | to make any arrests for violations of | the gamge laws until after | when the close season for the majority | 19—21, 2117, ceased persons: Mrs. Gussie Green- baum, $250; Mrs. H.

There was $3,905 26 recelved and $3,062 07 expended, leaving a balance of $717 26 in the hands of the treasurer. A vote of thanks with a blessing from on High was tendered to charity. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: S. Polack, Phil Fabian, Mrs. M. Kaskell, H. Louis, I D. Martin, Phil Bernstein, Peter Abra- hamson an# Miss A. Levy. This board re-elected S. Polack, president; Mrs. M. Haskell, secretary, and Phil Fabian, treasurer. ——————————— WARDEN MOGAN'S REPORT. Vigilance Has Made Deer and Pro- hibited Fish Scarce in b This Market.

Wyman, pastor of St. Mary’s Church, delivered an elo- Qquent sermon last evening on the sub. Ject of “The Finding of the Messiah.” “It is a significant fact,” said the preacher, *“that the first and rep- resentative men among the Gentiles, who were called by the visible sign of a miraculous star, ana an inspiration of the holy ghost to the worship of the true God, are called ‘wise men."” ‘With this as his initial chapter in the unraveling of the subject of the ad- vent of the Messiah, Father Wyman proceeded to explain the miracle of the star of Bethlehem and the consequent inspiration to the Wise men of the East, their stubborn faith in the new- born Christ and their abhorrence of the wicked ruler and chief men of Je- rusalem. He concluded with the remark that those who find the Messiah to-day in- stead of being scandalized by His pov- erty and self-denial, are led by His ex- ample more fervently to follow him. ——— e Two electriciane at Gratz, Austria, claim to have invented an arrangement by which a newspaper can be printed by telegraph in any number of places at the same time.
