Hamilton Drops Suddenly Out of Sight After a Month's Employment at the Hostelry. ———— ‘Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Feb. 2. Henry E. Hamilton, night clerk of the Hotel Metropole, has disappeared and so has $750 belonging to R. M. Briare, the proprietor, and to guests at the hostelry. The police are looking for the alleged ab- sconder, who had been employed only a month at the house from which he sud- denly fled this morning. The missing clerk was on duty last night as usual, and took in considerable money from guests, who were settling their monthly accounts. * When Briare retired last night there was nearly $1000 in coin and valuables in the office £afe, to which Hamilton had free access. | When Briare arose this morning his night clerk had decamped and the money was gone. So were a number of pictures and | other small personal belongings of the absent night clerk. Hamilton was at the hotel office desk at 6 o'clock this morning. An hour later, when the day staff of employes reported for duty. the clerk was among those ab- Sent. Driare was honplused for a time, and then made a search which resulted in & hurry up summens of the detectives. Hamiiton did not have time to remove a his clothing. His flight had been so hasty that he simply gathered a few odds and ends, leaving the bulklest of his possess- sion Briare knows little about his missing clerk. He was employed through a hotel | bureau in San Francigco. Sald Mr. Briar “Hamilton came to me a month ago. He had good credentials, having been a former hotel proprietor at Columbus, Ohfo. His recommendations were first- clas For six weeks before he came to Oak- land Hamiiton had been residing at the Windsor Hotel in S8an Francisco. /Briare declares that the clerk’s conduct and manner were irreproachable during his month’s stay at the Metropole. Thé miss- ing man s about 39 years of age and has a ministerial, smooth-shaven counte- nance. He wears spectacles. At police headquarters it was rumored to-night that Hamilton had taken a train for Bakersfleld over the Santa Fe. Tele- grams with a description of the fugzitive ! have been sent throughout the State. o e e LIQUOR ASSISTS LAW'S OFFICERS Loosens the Tongue of a Ycung Man Suspected of Murder.' Special Dispatch to The Call. STOCKTON, Feb. 2.—Officers of this county have in thelr possession facts that may lead to the arrest of a young man | for a murder committed in Lodi three years ago. *The murdered man was James Scribner, father of Othello Scribner of the brigade staff, N:tional Guard of Cali- fornia, now living at Visalia, where he is in the United States Land Office. The Coroner’s jury brought in a_ verdict of | | accidental “death, caused by the kick of | a horse, as the body was found in a barn, but later developments pointed strongly to murder, and it is now said | that a “confession has been wrung from Arthur Ennis. who, while intoxicated, | =ald he murdered Scribner Three officers listened at a distance while Ennis told of the killing, but as they could not hear it distinctly enough to swear to it no complaint was filed and 1 Ennis could not be got to make another confession. He is now in jail for alleged theft. The confession was made to a | young man in a closet at the rear of a saloon. At that time the supposed mur- derer was anxious to obtain a “job” that | he described as ‘‘dead easy,” and in | which there was $1000 for each. In the upposed murderer's confession was this statement: 2 “I dldn’t intend to kill old Serib, but I cribbed him harder than I thought.' An arrest would have followed this con- | fession immediately bad there been any chanee of conviction ‘on the uncorrob- | orated statement of the man to whom it | was made. Othello Scribner swore to avenge his father’s death, but had not enough tunds | at the time to press an investigation, He has made a big strike in the ofl fields and has .just returned from the Idast, | where he closed a deal involving a for- une. innis, the man under susplclon, is a son of the late Supervisor Ennis. CADDIES GO ON STRIKE ON DEL MONTE LINKS DEL MONTE, Feb. 2—A strike of the | caddles of the golf links at this place, | which has just reached a satisfactory set. caused considerable annoyance | trement, and no little amusement to golfers who | are here. The cause of the strike was the ‘annouricement by the management 1 that the caddies’ fee should be cut to the |rate paid on the Southern California links. The boyve upon hearing this sol- emnly walked off the links, and ranging themselves along the fence outside the course fought any one else that dared en- ter the links to caddie. Several of the boys made themselves particularly obnox- fous, and finally the management agreed to take all except these back on ‘the ol terms. The caddies stood their ground for all TH ROWS PINEAPPLE CHEESE AT HER TREMBLING SPOUSE AND HURLS HIM THROUGH CLOSED WINDOW, HE SAYS — Eugene Pucci Asks for a Divorce From Mary Pucci, Alleging That She Began Hostilities Almost Before the Wedding Was Over, and That He Has Feared for His Life Ever Since - g% % ..,‘uv ITNICE Yo HAVE THe omy ™ Youlove SoAK You v B The 0PTIC wity A T @ Meceor PINEAPPLE | | You Steep SUT N Your MSHTSHIRT AVD THe BesT You NG \ GET ToEAT is § A DwoRce !

MOVEMENT OF REAL ESTATE IN AND ABOUT SAN FRANCISCO Review of the Prevalent Conditions and Some of the Bi During the Past Week. The news of the week of greatest sig- nificance in connection with local realty unquestionably is that referring to .the combination under one ownership of the | Southern Pacific and the Unlon Pacific railway companies, with all that is im- plied by the large deal. The logic of cir- cumstances bas thus fixed San Francisco | as the point of departure and arrival for all Orlental business to the exclusion of any other point on the Pacific Coast that heretofore might vainly have aspired to rivalry with the metropolis by the Golden Gate. ferred jnpon San Francisco realty cannot be computed. In addition to this the line now extends from Hamburg to the Orient under one management. A great stimulus will be given to the marketing of Califor- nia products in Europe. Conversely, im- migration on a large scale to California, the most eligible place on the FPacific Coast for homeseekers, will be made cer- tain. The more the facts are thought over the greater does the future of California now appear to be, and this city will be always the financial and business center. Thomas Magee & Sons report the sale for $120,000 of ffty feet on the southeast line of Market street, 150 feet southwest from Seventh stret, the lot having a depth of 165 feet, running back to Stevenson street, the improvements being an old- fashjoned one-stor{ building.. The seller is E. V. Hull. The same brokers have also sqld property on the south linerot California street, east from Montgomery, or none, however, and vesterday the man. agement gave in, taking hack all except the ringleader and agreeing to the former rices. The strike was especlally absurd, Pecause the strikers are such small boys, { most of them under 12 years of age. - THIEF ROBS THE SAFE IN HEALDSBURG HOTEL HEALDSBURG, Feb. 2.—The safe of the Sotoyome Hotel was opened and $200 stolen early this morning.
