Why is it people can purchase better furs, both medium priced and grade, at H. Licbes & Co.’s than at any other similar establishment in the United States? Why is it that professional people, actors particularly, traveling all over the world, wait until they get to San Francisco to buy their furs of H. Liebes & Co? First, because we are the largest exclusive fur. house in the world: because we have our own fur collecting stations in the lu:;bearinn‘ countries; because we buy raw furs in larger quantities than any manu- facturer in the world; because we make our own garments all in our own establishment.

Brasso, the aged Itallan murderer who escaped from Watsonville last Thursday, has been located in this city. Last night he was seen in the Latin quarter, looking for a friend. He was recognized by an old acquaintance, who lost no time in notifying the police. fev- eral detectives were immediately sent to arrest him, they returned empty handed, Brasso hav- ing been warned. Another effort will be made to-day to arrest the much wanted rer. so 15 wanted in Modesto for the wanton killing of a fellow countryman. After committing the crime he went to Watsonville, where he was arrested. At the request of several friends he was not locked up in prison but allowed to occupy a room in a hotel. Two officers werc de- talled to watch him, but in some manner, presumably through the carelessness of his guards, he managed to escape by chimbing through an open window. As soon as his escape was discovered a search was made for him, but witbout avail. Suspecting that Brasso would at- tempt to reach this city word was sent to Chlef of Police Sullivan to be on the lookout for him. Despite the fact that every incoming train was closely Watched, Brasso managed to elude the detectives. After arriving here he at once went to the Latin quarter, where he evidently expected protectiom against po- lice interference. Brasso is about 65 years of age, five feet two inches in height and has a gray mustache. When seen last night he wore blue overal i a black Feaora hat. —_— Ancient Order of Foresters.

SEA MYSTERY American Supposed to Have Been Killed by Natives. s Evidence Strongly Supports the Supposition of Foul Play. TS W. F. Doty, brother of the United States Consul in the BSociety Islands, who arrived from the South Sea yester- day, tells a story’ which seems to indi- cate than an American named Wright has been murdered by the natives on one of the Marquesas Islands. An investigation has been\instituted by the United States Consul in conjunction with the French j Governor, Monsleur Petit. The evidence ithus far obtained strongly supports the ullxsplclon that Wright has met with foul ay. Wright was a trader in the Marquesas Islanas. He had been there since De- cember, 190. He represented in his trad- ing ventures an American merchant named Varney, who has his headquar- ters at Attuwand on the island of Hivoa. On the night on which the murder is sup- poged to nave been perpetrated Wright started from one of the back valleys for Attuwand. He carried with him a consid- erable sum of money, which unfortunately he displayed to the natives. Wright never reached his destination. Since tnat night he has not been seen. His horse, bridled and saddled, was subsequently found grazing in the valley of Tehuco, a |- considerable distance from Attuwand. Did Not Fall Off Cliff. The report was started that Wright be- fore he started on his journey was intox- fcated. His road lay along a steep cliff, and an attempt was made to arouse the bellef that he had fallen over the cliff to his death. The United States Consul refused to give credence to the story and undertook an investigation, which has thus far furnished almost incontrovert- ! ible evidence that the American was mur- | dered. A Chinese who was a rival trader |of Wright was found bearing suspicious | cuts and bruises and bloodstains upon his blouse. The Chinese resided in the valley | through which Wright's pathway led. He has been arrested and taken to Pa- | peete, where under an examination he | told various conflicting stories. His ex- planations of the stalns tended to fasten | the suspicion of the murder upon himself. In securing the Chinese, the Consul did not rest in his efforts. It is not believed that one man could have done the deed | alone, and it is supposed that the Chinese had the assistance of several, and ft Is| | even conjectured that a preconcerted plot | for the assassination of Wright was | hatched by the natives. As to the assist- ants of the Chinese, suspicion points I strongly to a chief and his two sons. It | appears that Wright once purlolned a pig to which the chief laid claim. Details of the Murder. The story which at present is being cir- | culated among the natlves is that Wright | was waylald. The assault was carefully | planned and one of the natives, according | to the agreement, asked Wright for some | tobacco. While he was attempting to | draw it from his pocket he was struck on | the head with a heavy war club. After he had been murdered his body was welghted with stones and cast into the | sea. i | The natives for a time in their efforts | to parry suspicion lg:eld the report that | | the American had been the victim of a | | cannibal feast, but there was no evidence | | to_support this rumor. Wright at one time resided in the vicini- ty of Chicago. He appeared before the United tSates Consul at Papeete. Tahitl, n December, 1900, and declared under oath that he was a citizen of the United | States. He requested a statement of his | Illeclnrllmn signed by the Vice Consul in | the absence of the Consul. He claimed that the certificate of citizenship would | be of great value to him in dealing with | | the French authorities in the Marquesas | I| Islands. HOTEL ARRIVALS. NEW WESTERN HOTEL.
