Two troops of the Fourth Cav- alry, two batteries of the Thiru Artil- lery and three companies of the Eighth California Regiment participated in the ceremontes.

P | | | | CHARLES G. LEE AID T0 BE IN SAN FRANCISCO Missing Chicago Man Reported Found. CASE IS FULL OF MYSTERY CHIEF LEES DENIESKNOWLEDGE OF THE AFFAIR. Repudiates a Telegram Crediting Him With Claiming to Have Located the Man in the Palace Hotel. According to {nformation received from Chicago, Charles G. Lee, who mysterious- ly disappeared from the Hotel del Prado in that city two months ago, has been located in San Francisco by Chief of Po- lice Lees. According to Chief Lees, tne missing man has not been located by him or any one else connected with his de- partment. The Chief says he never heard of the missing man, and advances the opinfon that the author of the report of his being located in this city is ro- mancing. If the Chief is not trying to conceal the facts in the case for reasons of his own, the report sent out from Chicago aads another peculiar feature to an unusually pecullar affalr. Lee was a prosperous cigar merchant, having a stand in the Del Prado Hotel and another a short ais- tance from that hostelry. His affairs were | In excellent shape, and there was no con- celvable reason why he should drop out of sight, But drop out of sight he did, and in such a sudden and mysterious manner that his friends feared he had met with foul play. He left the hotel one evening last fall to go to his place about two blocks distant, and has not been seen from that day to the present time. When two days passed and he did not return his friends notified the police and a systematic search was begun, but with- out result. Photographs and circulars describing the missing merchant were sent to the police of all the leading cities in the country, and it is this fact that throws the shadow of doubt on the as- sertion of Chief Lees that he never heard of the man. The doubt as to the Chief's sincerity is further increased by the positive assertion of George Reising of Chicago, one of Lee's most intimate friends, that he had received a letter from the San Francisco Chief to the effect that he had recognized Lee among the em. ployes of the Palace Hotel from phott graphs sent out at the time of his isap- pearance, and that a letter containing more detailed information was on its way to Chicago. All this is as positively de- nied by Chief Lees; but as Mr. Reising is a man of some s!B.l"uih"Ai1 in the Windy City it seems strange that he should make such an assertion without reason or foun- dation, At the Palace nothing is known of Lee or any man answering to Tils description; but as he would in all probability have assumed another name and changed his appearance this is not surprising. ‘When Lee disappeared he is believed to have had quite a sum of money on his person, as he was accustomed to go about well supplied with funds, and for this reason it was feared he had been foully dealt with. He always dressed well, but was not inclined to dissipate, and, as he was a single man, without financial or domestic troubles of any kind, the only theory to account for his disappearance, aside from possible murder, was that he had become suddenly insane and wander- ed away from the city. If he is in San Francisco Chief Lees is the only man able to tell, and if the Chief knows he is apparently inclined to keep the infor- mation for the present. It has been unkindly intimated that the Chief really though he recognized one of the Palace employes as the missing man, and sent the telegram to Reising, and then, learning that he had made & blun- der, concluded to save himself from rid- icule by denying all knowledge of the case.
