A STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE.
A Business Man Reported to Have
Skipped the Town.

A business Man Reported to Have
Skipped the Town.
Some weeks ago man came to Sacra-
rnento, and registered at the City Hotel as
David Templeton, of Missouri. From all
appearances he seemed to have plenty of
funds, and informed the proprietor of the
hotel that he would like to go into bust
ness. He bought the dining-room outfit of
the City Hotel, removed it a few doors
west, and opened up a neat looking restaur-
ant, the cost of which could not be much
short of $1,000. After running it a few
days he took in as partner man by the
name of J. ID. Smith, who at one time kept
restaurant few doors above in the same
block, but broke up in business. For
months past Smith has been keeping the
Sacramento Tivoli, low dive, which has
been the rendezvous OF notorious class of
rough men and abandoned women. Soon
after Smith went into partnership with
Templeton the latter dropped out of sight,
and has not been seen since, Smith
assuming the proprietorship of the
establishment. A great many ru-
mors have been in circulation for
several days, many thinking that Tenn
pleton had been murdered for his money
and to get possession of his property, and
the police have been investigating the case
for several days. Smith says he pur-
chased one-half of the restaurant, giving
therefor his note for $500, and says he has
no knowledge whatever of the whereabouts
of his partner. He suggests that the latter
got tired of the business, it being unprofit-
able, and has skipped out for breathing
spell. Such conduct on behalf of the East
ern man would seem quite strange indeed,
and those who were acquainted with him
scout the idea. Altogether it is a very
strange state of affairs, and the public
awaits further development.

THE SOURCE CONDEMNS IT.-The Bee reit-
crates its contemplate falsehood about this
journal, and which the RECORD UNION yes
terday designated and now again stamps as
made out of the whole cloth. The shame
less slanderer now quotes Mr.. Couch as
denying that he had pronounced the Bees
charge a falsehood. Last evening that
gentleman stated to RECORD UNION rep
resentative that he had made no such de-
NAL; that what the RECORD UNION had
said in the matter is true, and that any
who care to be convinced can refer to him.
Happily no individual or journal need go
to the trouble of proving to the people of
Sacramento the falsity of any charges the
Bee may make-knowledge of their source
is all sufficient.

made his escape while en- route between
Spokane and Palouse. Conroy was in
charge of Deputy Sheriff Collisan. 1t is
reported that when the train left Marshall
station the prisoner jumped from his seat
and off the train. The Sheriff endeavored
to stop the train, but instead the trainmen
increased to their utmost speed until they
reached Spangle.

Metronolitan Theater.

Tonight the Webster-Brady company
will present the dramatic spectacle adapted
by William A. Brady from H. Rider Hag-
CARDS famous romance, "She," or "She
Who Must Be Obeyed." George P. Web
ster is young man whose stage experience
is familiar to Sacramento theater- goers,
where he has always been received with
much favor. The one defect in his earnest
and thoroughly dramatic method is the
disposition to maintain too high q vocal
key, but it is failing far less blameworthy
than its opposite. Mr.. Brady is less known,
but has played here frequently, and
notably in low-comedy roles with success.
Charlotte little, some of whose earliest
stage essays, when q mere girl, were made
in this city, is well known as painstaking
actress, of sympathetic voice, OF fine stage
presence and easy manner. Miss Biggar is
not so well known here, but has appeared
once or twice.
The Los Angeles Times. when "She"
was recently played by this company
speaks of the support as capable and Of the
leading people with enthusiasm. The
scenery to be used tonight, it is announc-
ed, has been prepared especially for the
piece, and that there is carload of it. We
have no.admiration for Haggards romances,
and the impossible situations born of his
| wild fancy and extrayagant conceptions are
altogether too weird and melodramatic to
entertain in reading. 1t is easy to under
stand, however, that out of them can be
| carved spectacular plays of great attractive
ness and that will deeply interest while
they made no conceslment of their impos.
sible character. Such was the success of
"She" in San Francisco. and of the present
company in it in the interior. and so many
have read Haggard's famous roma1ces
| that it is safe TO predict for tonight a
crowded house to witness Brady's adapta-
| ton of one of them. 1t is announced that
there is no extra charge for reserving seats
Il is understood that from this time for
ward " children in arms" are to be ex-
Guided from evening performances at the

thoroughly in annoying large audience
