DISCOVERED TWO SKIRTS HIDDEN IN A PARK CAVE Mysterious Disappearance of Daisy Brown, a Fair Young Waitress. Tl =e She Drops Out of Sight, Leaving Her Mother Distracted and the Police Completely at a Loss. S The police have a mystery on their | hands which they are diligently striving to unravel, Yesterday afternoon Officer Clark, while exploring a cave In Golden | Gate Park contiguous to the McAllister- | street entrance, discovered two sKirts, a | black dress, a silk waist, sewed to the collar of which was the number 11, and a gossamer, which had the appearance of having seen better days. At first suspecting that the articles had been cached by a thief the police officer | lost no time in ing them to pclice headquarters. Detective Anthony was de~ tafled to solve the mystery, and by dint of Investigation he learned that tke | clothes belonged to Daisy Brown, an at- | tractive girl of 16 years, who up to yes- terday had worked as a_waitress in Den- nett's restaurant at 749 Market street. Further investigation revealed that the girl had disappeared without leaving aer Last night the police were scouring the city for her, but | without getting a trace of her where- abouts. She Disappeared Before. Daisy formerly lived with her mother in | Oakland. About two months ago she su denly disappeared and the police weia | promptly notified. As she failed to ‘ndite | the usual farewell letter her distractcd mother at first concluded that she had been murdered. While the detectives cf this city and Oakland were vainly striv- ing to get a irace of her she returned her home and told a siliy story of h she had been kidnaped and held for ran- som. cier story was believed and she | given her ~usual plac the famliy | nearth. Since then Daisy has been a | model young woman. | A few weeks ago Mrs. Brown and her went to daughter moved to this ci 1 256 Iighth house at Another daughter of Mrs, Brown ltve in a lodging street. | also lives in the same house. Anxious to assist her mother, Daisy secured emplo: | ment as a waitress in Dennctt's restau- | rant, working from 11 o'clock unth 2, and being paid at the rate of 35 cents a day. | After laboring for veral weeks she clared her intention of seeking another | position, where her services would be ap- preciated and her wages increased.

SKe labored until 2 o'clock in the afternoon and walk- | ing up to the counter was given 35 cenlu.‘ daily pittance. That was the last seen of her.

P | Three Alarms Call Out the Depart- | ment, Which Does Good Service, Fearing Rapid Spread of | the Flames. RAENE D TS The property of the Golden Gate Lum- ber and Furniture Company, In which D. H. Bibb is a large owner and which stood at the corner Stockton and Beach | streets, was totally destroyed by fire this | morning. The entire plant was ruined. | The blaze was first discovered by Officer W. H. Irvine at 1:15 o'clock this morning. He at once turned in an alarm, bui hy the time the first engine arrived on the scene the fire had acquired such headw that it was necessary to ring in two mors larms and employ the companies that | responded in preventing the flames from spreading to the adjoining property. Until an investigation is made it will | not be definitely known where the fire originated or what caused it. It was first discovered in the rear of the building and from its location it would seem as though | it had commenced in the polishing room on the second floor. The nature of the material, which con- sisted of lumber, furniture and the usual stores of oils, paints and varnishes em- ployed in decorating and beautifying the manufactures made it splendid food for the flames, which lit up the skies with a glow that made it appear at a distance | as though the whole of North Beach was one mass of conflagration. The heat of the flames was intense and the residents of the vicinity have to thank a caim night and the splendid work of the Fire Department for being spared their homes, which would surely have been consumed had there been a strong | wind, and had the fire laddies been less of | prompt in answering the alarms or less energetic after arriving on the scene. The Golden Gate Lumber and Furniture Company was one of the largest concerns of its kind on the coast, and employed over fifty men in its different departments, who will now be out of employment, as the whole concern is totally wrecked, not so much as one stick of furniture nor the smallest bit of machinery escaping the general ruin. The principal stockholder in the concern is D. H. Bibb, who will be out his propor. tion of a loss that the most conservative estimate places at between $75,000 and $100.000. During the conflagration Joseph Wolfe, a fireman on Truck 2, was caught under some falling rafters on the north side of the building and severely burned about the neck and arms. ‘Wolfe, who is considered one of the best men in the department, has only been connected with truck 2 for a month, al-| though he was attached in the same ¢a. pacity to truck 1 for the previous alghtix rears. His bruises and burns, while seri- | ous and painful, are not fatal. This was the only accident attending the fire. Mechanics’ Library Directors Meet.

Detective Anthony is satisfied that, again tiring of parental restraint, she secretly took the articles away from her home and hid fhem in the cave In the expectation of re- urning in a few days and taking them away. 1 The mother of the missing girl refuses to throw any light on her disappearance. While professing an absence of anxiety she is, however, distracted over her ah- | sence and has appealed to the police to assist her in finding her absent daughter. Among her fellow-workers the girl al- ways appeared cheerful, and at times at- | fectionately spoke of her mother. The | police strongly think that Mrs. Brown, | suspecting that her daughter was about t> skip, visited her place of employmen: & few minutes after 5 o'clock vesterday aft- ernoon, and was surprised to find her | gone. She hurried home, and missing the skirts and walsts belonging to her daugh- ter confided her suspicions to anotler lodger in the house. To-day the police will redouble their effort in trying to locate the girl and are | hopeful of clearing up the mystery -at- tached to the discovery of her garments in the cave in Golden Gate Park. PR s L GREAT BASEBALL. Santa Clara Defeats Ber-keleyQ in a Hot Game. SANTA CLARA, March 10.—The great- est game of the intercollegiate series was played to-day on the college. campus, Santa Clara College defeating Berkeley by a score of 6 to 5. The game was replete with sensational plays and was always in doubt until the last man was retired in the ninth inning. San‘lu Clara started the first inning with one run and Berkeley followed with two runs. Santa Clara tied the score In the third inning and by some clean hitting and base running managed to forge two runs ahead in the fourth inning. Neither side scored again until the sixth inning, when Kaarsburg by a well-timed hit | brought in Smith. Berkeley scored two Clara came to the bat in the first half of the ninth _inning the score was 5 to 4 in favor of Berkeley. Then amid the great- est excitement ever seen at & game in this locality the Santa Clara boys pulled the game “out of the fire,” scoring two runs by the hardest kind of work. Berkeley failed to score in her half of the inning. For Berkeley Hunter was the star per- former. Kaarsburg also did well, but at critical times became somewhat nervous. Shnta Clara's general all round work was good. The score: SANTA CLARA. w -] = @ w 3 Y, £ ARSI T A > o g LR A TRl Kelly, p. Conner, 3b. Finnigan, 1.

R e B B e e e s B S R L e FLYING BENDORAN FIRST FROM START TO FINISH Piloted by Spencer, the Chestnut Horse Ran Circles Around His Field in the Rich Palace Hotel Handicap. | ITH the Palace Hotel handicap as the stellar attraction, a large crowd of racegoers attended the sport at Oakland track yesterday. The stake was valued at $2000, and Bend.ran, carrying Spencer and 124 pounds, tiptoed out in front of his fleld from start to finish. Flve to two was the opening quotation against Walter Jennings' big horse, many figuring the mile and a fur- long would prove too far for him. At this price he was heavily backed, closing a 2 to 1 favorite. Of the other seven starters Formero carried the most backing, and then went out and made a very pcor showing, the heavy and lumpy going ap- parently not being to the liking of Willie Sink’s horse. Topmast and Pat Morrissey both had admirers, but Imperious, after his recent shabby run, appeared friend- less, his odds drifting from 6 to 15. Fer- guson was in good form, an excellent start being accomplished with no percepti- ble delay. The race needs no description. Bendoran led his fleld a merry chase from the very jump. Imperious seemed the only one capable of raising any speed, and though Dr. Rowell’'s “Burns winner” closed In resolute fashion, he was two lengths behind the leader crossing the wire. Storm King, with a mortgage on third place during the running, finished in that position, while Rosinante was fourth, beaten a nose. Pat Morrissey seemed all at sea, bringing up in the rear. After four straight favorites had caught the eye of the judges first, Cormorant and Lena enlivened the closing moments of tha session by scoring at most remunerative odds., Piggott rode the first named horse, which was heavily backed around the ring. The jumping game seems to have made quite a horse out of Durward, for he took the opening seven-furlong run cleverly from Uncle True, a 30 to 1 shot. Henry piloted the winner, which was backed from threes down to 11 to 5. Greyhurst managed to get the show. Sofala seems unbeatable, for the four furlong scramble proved only a pick-up for the crack filly. The ring laid 7 to 20 against her chances, and she won in an ordinary gallop. In a very close finish, ‘Walsh landed Andrattus in the place, nose before Intrada. ‘Walter Jennings started the crack three-year-old filly Andrisa in the third number, over a mile, and she made Flamora, Horton and Malay look cheap. The ring held her a 1 to 2 chance around post time, and the daughter of St. An- drew only galloped from the start. At the end, Flamora beld He ~ton safe for the place.

Track Notes. The judges ordered the entry of Dr. Nembula refused in future at Oakland. Lena, winner of the last event, was bid up to $600 by P. E. Jones, at which figure the mare’'s owner ceased bidding, and she changed hands. “Boots'” Durnell offered Walter Jen- nings $10,000 for Bendoran,”but the offer was declined. However, Mr. Jennings sald 0,000 would buy the great sprinter. When the starters for the last race came out Perseus seemed stiff and sore, and as he was favorite the judges sent the horses back to the paddock, ordering the Cambridge stable entry scratched.
