Budd DOble ElOpes with Another
MANS Wife.

From the San Francisco Post, May13.I
Budd Doble, the driver of Goldsmith Maid,
ambition to something other than hOrsefesh, as
scaRdalous transaction which has recently
been brought to light, in which he was impli-
Gated, shows. Shortly after Budd's advent in
this state with the famous mare, he made the
acquaintance of Mrs Clara Snyder, the wife of
A. 5. Snyder, the Halleck street carpenter and
builder. He became infatuated with her, and
she encouraged his attention. Some time after
this she left her husband and went openly to
live with DOble, taking her little child with her.
When DOble went east she accompanied him.
Notwithstanding that her husband did almost
everything in his power to prevent it.
About week since Mrs. Snyder returned
from the east, and took lodgings at Bush and
kearny street. She said that she and Budd
had fallen ont, and that he had treated her
badly. Snyder, who it seems still thought some
thing OF the woman, endeav0red to induce her
10 return and live with him, but she declined
- as her reason that she soon expected
Buadr here.
On Saturday evening Budd arrived from the
East and Immediately went to Mrs. Snyder's
rooms. Snyder stationed himself outside the
door, having by some means got wind Of the
affair, and fOrcibly resisted Dobles efforts to go
.ntO the rooms, but he was Overpowered, and
Ioble, With two friends, entered. They packed
left for Tubs hotel, Oakland, and on the fol-
lowing morning started for the East. Snyder
followed them to the hotel, but in the morning
they managed to elude him and got on the east
eln bound train. Mrs. Snyder is the daughter
o. highly respectable parents residing in this
city. MIR. Snyder states that he had been di-
vorced from her long before she made Budd
DOble's acquaintance, and that he retains pos
session of their child.
