IS PLACED UNDER ARREST Police Satisfied That M. F. Ham- mond of Seattle Has Been Romancing. The suspicions entertained by the po- lice as to the genuineness of the tale re- lated by M. F. Hammond, the alleged chief carpenter of the Parker ranch, in Hawall, that James Kelly, a switchman, whom he met on the steamer from Seat- tle, had stolen his two valises, containing his personal effects and $1000 in green- backs, was verified yesterday after an in- Vvestigation Dby .Detcctives Wren and Kelly was discovered, and he told the detectives that the two vallses were in Manning & Crowley’s saloon, 19% Fourth street, where he had left them till he could find Hammond. They contained MAN AND nothing but old clothes. Kelly said he met Hammond on the steamer, and as Hammond was “snaky,” asihe expressed it, from drink, he looked after him. Ham- mond left two valises with him Thursday night till he went and got a drink, and he had not seen him since. The police are satisfied that Kelly is telling a straight story, but as Hammond had sworn out a warrant for his arrest for felony embezzlement he had to be locked up in the City Prison. Every effort is being made to find Hammond. who has been drinking heavily since his arrival. ———————— I obtain patents on inventions. P.
