Broke Away From the Coast. Cordes kept a saloon ‘n Eureka twenty | years ago. Nine or ten years ago he came to San Francisco and subsequently ran saloons at several places along. Kearny street on the Barbary st. His las: lace was the ‘X-10-1 saloon on earny street, between Jackson and Pa He had known kitty Eisei about years when, three years ago, a_m riend died and left them nearly $100). Cordes then sold h and thev bought five acres of land on Suell avenus in Eimhurst, near the San Leandro road. They bullt a pretty -ottage home upon It and started a chicken ranch. They owned two horses, with buggy and wagon, and | severai cows, and Tived with all the com- | forts afforded by countrv life. But the resorts of the 8an Leandro roal were near and they reminded Kitty con- stangly of the gay dens of the Barbary Coast. The humdrum existence at the | eottage became unbearable to her and iast | January she left Cordes and returned to the old Ilife. She got employment as a | waltress at the dive known as Diana Hali, | | at 502 Pacific street. Within a few days Olaf Olsen came along and since then Kitty has cared no more for Cordes than she did for the ranch life. Olsen is a saflor, who is just now at sea on a steam schooner. Cordes often, called to see the woman and when he ‘came Wednesday evening { about § o'clock nothing was thought of it. | During his short stay one of the women | called the woman “Kitty Cordes” and she replied in his presence, “That’s my name, but when | change it again it will o Olsen.” She also told Cordes that she was going to sell the zanch, the deeds of | which she held Special Sale Ladiles’ Combs.
