A trio corresponding to the San Fran
cisco clippers have been stopping ct the
Windsor hotel since April 8 For two
days before that they were at the New
England. The man passes under the
name Of G.. W. Spaine and two young
women who came with him go by the
name Of Lizzie and Mamie. The latter
left the city few days ago. but the other
two are still ct the hotel. They came un-
der the notice Of the city officials through
one of the girls inveterate love of fun,
which brine out spicy story.
Capt Willard happened to b walking
along the water front few days ago when
he noticed . handsome brunette and .
6ashily-dressed young man with closely
cut faxen hair, small mustache, an En-
glish cap, light trousers, laced box-toed
shoes and . chinchilia coat walking in the
same direction and not tar from him. The
vnu~~ man q ni~ ~
in fact Was 20 dudish that the captain oh.
served him very closely. The longer he
looked the more he became interested and
suddenly the thought struck him that the
stylish young man had proportions that
belonged to the female sex. The captain
called Detective John Roberts and telling
Of his suspicious gave directions for the
detective to keep them in sight and learn
what they were doing.
About this time middle-aged man with
dark mustxche. who hsd been walking
near the couple. walked up to them sud-
denly and spoke in . quick, decided man
ner. The couple immediately turned
short and walked toward the southern
part Of the city at q rapid pace. followed
closely BY the middle-aged man, and he
in turn BY Capt Willard and Detective
Roberts. The chase led along Commercial
street to the Windsor hotel, ct the corner
Of Main street. and up stairs to room So
The officers waited short time and then
raped ON the door. It Was opened BY the
Same person who had whispered to tho
couple on the water front, and when he
saw the two men he demanded the reason
Of their coming to his apartments.
Captain Willard smiled in his sarcastic
manner and replied: ."To see the girl in
the trousers"
This remark caused . laugh from two
young women, one . brunette and the
other blonde with close-cpt hair, who were
seated In the front part Of the room.
Whether it was the levity from inside
the room or the presence Of the unwelcoms
visitors that caused the middle-aged man
to become angry 10 . matter Of conjecture,
but he did get mad and inform the officers
that he was not aware of any law that gave
them right to intruds on his privacy.
The captain replied that circumstances
altered cases and, when there was reason
to bslieve that woman was masquerading
In mans clothes, It was the duty Of the
city's officers to investigate. The middle
aged man was At . loss for an answer. for
in the middle Of the room was q pair Of
lace shoes with box toes. and near by on
chair lay IN English cap. The young
woman with the close-cut hair st this
point came forward and, walking I'M to
Detective Roberts. quietly turned beck the

He went on to explain that he was the
girls uncle, wealthy. and that they had
just come from Fargo. N. D., whore they
had been hunting. He also brought Gus
paper clippings concerning such an expo
