RUNYON'S DIAMOND.
A Fruit Growers Renc0nter
With Three Robbers.

Early in January George p. Runyon, n
wealthy young fruit-grower of CORTLAND,
came to the city TO visit friends and prop
erly observe the holidays. One morning
about u 80 o'clock he roamed down into the
tenderloin district, south OF Market street.
and on the corner of Mission and Third
streets met three young men who took
enough interest in his welfare to relieve him
Of diamond pin worth about $50 couple
of gold watch-chains and small sum Of
money.
Runyon's fruit-growing ventures have
been sufficiently remuneratve 10 warrant
his purchase of l9-carat diamond, worn i'll
a ring which rivals in Splcndor the ce le-
brated decanter knob that Skating Manager
Ridseley used 10 dazzle his patrons with.
The raiser OF the early apricot and the prem
ature crabapple wore this gem on the night
lie met his three friends, but through some
fortunate combination of circumstances
they did not levy on it.
The larceny was reported to the police
here, but no clew was found to the perpe-
traitors until MIR. RunyOn, in his search
after some dead sure cure for the Goblin
moth, strayed down to San jose. He had
not walked up and down the boulevards for
over ten minutes before lis falcon eye spied
his lost diamond pin nesting securely in
fancy cravat of one OF San Jose's leading
promenaders. Instead of reclaiming the
pin by force of arms Runyon displayed his
acnmen by quietly taking the first train to
this city and acquainting the detectives with
his discovery.
Detective Rogers accompanied him back
to San Jose and had no trouble in finding
the wearer of the pin as he was giving the
San Jose matdens their daily treat with the
pin. A few words between the detective
and the pin-wearer disclosed the fact that
the latter's name was Jordan, and be speed
lily convinced both the officer and Runyon
that he had boughtit in good faith for SIS
from his brother-in-law, James Mcnamara,
better known as Jumbo
10 arrest Mcnamara was no trick at al
for Detective Rogers, who gathered him
into the fold a few days. ago, and, pending
a few inquiries, placed him on the small
book at the Central Station. Yesterday
Runy0n identified Mcnamara as one of The
three men who stood him up and robbed
him, and charge Of robbery vas accord
lngly placed against him on the police
