She Said that Wednesday night, on her way | from San Francisco to Sacramento, she supposed that Brouhard w: at work up at her Amador County mine, and she was greatly surprised when, at Elmira, he walked into the train and sat down with her. Brouhard accounts for this incident by saying that he had started from Sac- ramento to walk to San Francisco, and | finding that Mrs. Brouhard and Odell were on the tral he decided to accom- any them to Sacramento.

He was traced as far as El Paso, Texas, by the San Francisco office and at that point the matter was referred to the Denver office of the Pinkerton National Detective Agency and so J. C. Fraser, the superin- tendent of the office, took up the trace at El Paso.

RAILROAD MEN AVER AGENCIES WILL CONTINUE Lines Will Not Be 8o Fool- ish as to Come Under Control. R Report Probably Emanates From | Some Scheme Vice President Stubbs Is Trying to Work. B FEPRP The local representatives of the differ- | ent railroads are worrying themselves but | little over the report that was published | yesterday to the effect that their roads had agreed to abolish all agencies out- | side of their respective territories. If | this were a fact it would mean the closing | of dozens of offices in this city and the throwing out of employment of a great number of men. As the dispatch read, the various roads were contemplating the closing of their agencles here and giving their clientele into the hands of the Southern Pacific and Banta Fe to be adjusted and dis- tributed in an equitable manner to the different connections of these two great systems. This report is credited to an interview with a vice president of one of the ‘big ‘Western roads,” which was obtained in Chicago. The name of the vice president was not given, but according to the opin- lon of the different agents who were seen yesterday, he is either an official of some ittle jerk-water line who Is rushing into print for the sake of reading his own elo- quence or he is speaking with the delib- erate purpose of furthering some cinch scheme of his own. The latter theory is most generally ac- cepted, and the man who gossip holds re- sponsible for the statement is no less a personage than J. C. Stubbs of the South- ern Pacific Company. The way local agents construe the matter is that Stubbs | in speaking to some representative of the Chicago press volced what he would like to see, and gosalbly what he is working to accomplish, but not what will be done. Said a prominent raflroad man yesterday: | “‘Stubbs would like nothing better than | to have all the different roads close Oul; their agencies in this city and let him manage their concerns. Nothing would | suit him so well as to sit at his desk and | say what this road shall have and what | shall go to that one. But his goatee will have grown into a full beard before the thing shall come to pass. “Do Jou suppose the managements of the different Eastern and Western roads | represented in this city are foolish enoush to relinquish the patronage that they have been working years to obtain and | place it in the hands of the Southern Pa be used as a whip to lash them into line? Not much. The whole thing is laughable. The Southern Pacific gives us | usiness now. We have built up our own business and we route it over our own road. Would not our superiors be wise ones to turn over to Southern Pacific control that which they have emPh),-‘P-l men for years to gather together? he whole matter is a cock-and-bull story and | not worthy serious consideration. “As a matter of economy it would not | answer. True, many dollars might be | saved in office rent and salarfes. But | would that compensate the outside roads for the chances they would be forced to take? Of course, Stubbs would talk of an equitable pro rata distribution of the pas- senger and freight traffic, based on the business done by the different roads in the | last year or two. But would he keep to the agreement? As soon as some one of the roads dared to rebel against the dic- | tates of C. P. Huntington the attempt | would be made to force them to knuckle under. Of course, this might bring ou a row, resulting in an annullment of the agreement. But where, then, would be the business that we have been years in | acquiring? Our roads would lose more Ia twenty-four hours than salaries will cost them in as many years. You can safely say nothing will come out of the matter if | it had any foundation to start with. The interview is merely o much mouthing.” BROKER SMITH LOST SHINING TWENTIES While His Clerk Was Talking With the Confederate the Sneakthief ‘Went Behind the Counter. F. M. Smith, a broker doing business at 316 Montgomery street, reported to the | police yesterday morning that he had been | the victim of a sneakthief, and that the | experience had cost him $400 in twenty- | dollar pleces, which was the sum taken | away by the thief. | At the rear of Mr. Smith's office a door | leads to Pauper Alley, and it was through this door that, Mr. Smith says, the thief came. The broker's aged clerk, M. W.| Weston, was _the only person in the office | just before the thief and his confederate entered, and Mr. Smith was upstairs. | Lee D.’ Craig, a Notary Public, has a desk in the office, but he was absent at the time, it being §:35 o'clock in the morn- ing. At 'that hour a man came in with a cent piece having an eagle on the reverse | side, which coin the stranger said was worth . He asked Weston whether such was the fact, and while Weston was examining_the coih and_talking with the man the thief came in by the back door | from Pauper Alley, sneaked behind the | counter to a tray of gold twenty-dollar | feces, took as many as he could carry in oth hands and sneaked back again. As he was going through the swinging door leading from the office back of the coun- ter Weston caught sight of him, and was s0 much astonished that he was stricken speechless. The thief ran into Pauper Al- ley. Weston yelled for the police, who at | the time were maintaining quarantine in Chinatown, and the man with the precious cent ran out of the front door into Mont- omery street, leaving rot a scent behind or the detectives to work upon. Mr. Weston described the man with the cent as being. a rather hard lnoklni customer, with light complexion and a black Derb, hat and t. The thief wore a reddisi brown sack coat and vest, with gray ants and a black stiff-rimmed highbinder | at. CAPE NOME NOT A SUBPORT OF ENTRY Through the efforts of the Republican Representatives of California in Congress the attempts of certain shippers in Brit- ish Columbia to have Cape Nome made a subport of entry have failed.
