So at last II was determined to head the
Young man off in his career, and the case
was put in the hands OF Othcers Curtlss
and Layton, who, aided by Detective Iom
Butler OF Chicago, have for week past
had an eye out for Willie.
1t was known that the young man ire
quented the Bushel House. kept cy Mrs.
Harris at 462 Twelfth street, and the land
lady had been warned not to house the
young chap in his escapades
1t seems that this warning was not
needed, however. for on Saturday night
Eibes was traced TO the place. At mid
night Officer CurtiSs, with his allies. pro-
ceeded TO the lodging ouse. and inquired
of the landlady If tie man was theIe, and
she attempted to shield Eibes by stating
that he was not IN the house. The officers
knew better, however, and CurtisS pro-

To say that the young couple were sur

was also taken along. crying softly the
while.
The landlady at the Bushell House de-
MES that she in any way shielded the
couple or knew they were together.
The girl now says that Eioes betrayed
her under promise OF marriage.

night and told her story. which is about
the same as that she told her landlady at
the Bushell House. She says that she
came from Sacramento five weeks ago and
engaged the room herself and paid for it
all the time until the last week, when
Eibes paid for it. She has mother and a
stepfather there and expected her mother
down Yesterday. She says that Mrs.
EibeS threatened to whip her il she did
not let her son alone, but Lizzie thought
she could take care of herself if there was
any whii ping TO be done. She gave her
age TO the reporter as IS. but she is GER
tainly younger.
The father and mother OF Eibes called
on the Chief of Police last night and ex-
pressed themselves very bitterly toward
the girl.
The Railroad and Ferries.
Travel was very light on train and boat
yesterday owing TO the threatening
weather. but of the people crossing the
bay the Davie Ferry carried the great
bulk. Indeed, Captain Bassett said
The travel was excellent on the Alvira
and Rosalie considering the weather"
Captain BasSett complained that some
Davie customers had been drawn TO the
opposition creek boat by the 2h cents
bait. but he added:
THE number is not large. and those
people who have deserted US are no doubt
anxious to see the fare back to the old
figure of % cents the round trlD."
The citizens Of Oakland expect that the
half-gate service will 60 into effect today.
The Council meets tonight, but it is
pretty certain that the Dow ordinance
cannot be carried, unless Mr.. Barnard has
changed his mind, and he announced al
the last meeting that he was hot too old 10
learn. a little hope is placed on his atti-
tude. In Sir. DaltOn's absence this is the
only hope for the ordinance, even if ii
should come up.
