Frantz Disappears Without Telling Friends Where He Was Going Oakland Office San Francisco Call, | 1118 Broadway, May 24. | The old Hayward Villa was sold out | to-day. - The sale was forced by J. J.| Dolan in a suit against G. G. Frantz, | and the amount realized was $491 50 for | the stock. i The disappearance of Frantz is not the least of the mysteries that sur- rounded the place. Frantz was we]l‘ known in Alameda County. He ran the Villa for a number of years, but one! day he converted into cash everything | he had and dropped out of sight. Not | a trace of him has been found, though | the nolice of the entire coast have been | notified. He disappeared as completely | as if the earth had swallowed him up, | and his wife was left in Haywards to | straighten out his affairs. The result of his disappearance was the sale to- day. In the early days the Haywards Villa | was one of the resorts of the coast. It | was operated by Tony Oakes, one of the best known bonifaces in California. In those days Tony Oakes wanted no “'short orders.” If there was terrapin to be had he had it; if there was any- thing dainty in the market he had it; but he charged accordingly. In the days when the Comstock speculation Wwas at its height Tony Oakes’ Hay- wards Villa was one of the resorts of the State. Anything could be had in the shape of “cold bots and hot birds.” But the days of the electric railroad and cheap fares came, and then the Haywards Villa met its fate. G. G. Frantz tried to make it go, but failed, and he drooped out of sight, and now the famous old resort has fallen under the Sheriff's hammer. —_———— OAKLAND MAN APPOINTED TO IMPORTANT POSITION FEarl A.
