WHERE IS SHE?
Mrs. r. Craig-Chan1bers
Is Still Missing.
A Case as Sad as 1t Is Mysterious.
The husbands Story of His
Wife's Malady.

r. c. Chambers. superintendent and
partial owner of the Ontario mine, arrived
here yesterday from Salt Lake City in an
swer to a summons from his friends, who,
on last Monday, telegraphed him the news
of the myste rious disappearance of his
wife on the previous day.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Chambers are well
known in San Francisco and vicinity, and
owing to the sad circumstances of the case
great interest is manifested in its solution.
The story can best be told in Mr.. Cham
bers' own words to a CALL reporter last
evening.
During November, year ago." said he,
''my wife became a sufferer from insomnia.
and as it grew upon her under the usual
remedies / took her to Salt Lake City for
treatment and a change of climate. Fail
ing to get the relief desired we returned to
San Francisco. By this time she was
almost nervous wreck. and, as a result,
was suffering from hallucinations at times.
l placed her in the care of DR.. Hirsch-
fielder. The doctor in turn placed her in g.
sanitarium, and by March she had so
greatly improved that we concluded to
remove her to Palermo. where we have a
summer residence.
"She was accompanied by two lady
friends and couple of nurses. A marked
Improvement foil owed her arrival in the
country and on May the party and my
self all returned to our residence on Sacra-
mento street. She seemed contented. and
in periods when her arrangement would
return temporarily she declared that she
would live forever, and bemOaned her fate
in causing us much imaginary trouble.
Last Sunday she went riding with her
nil arlt in ha dow and haEt inv tod
to take walk about noon she cheerfuly
consented. Her nieces waited in the
parlor while she went to her apartments
to secure her wraps. Her long stay caused
them to go to her room, which they found
vacant The house was thoroughly
searched, but she had gone and covered
up all traces of her destination. Her
purse and valuables were all left behind,
and from what | can learn she certainly
did not have cent when she left home.
My wife never Threatened suic Ide, and her
home life she always declared to be most
happy previous to her mind becoming
clouded.
"a search was Immediately instituted
by my friends, and. on their search prov
ing unsuccessful, they notified the police
and pnt Morse detectives to work on the
case. The same evening the news was
telegraphed to me. think Mrs. Chambers
must have made her way 10 the country,
but not very far. as she had no money
with her. Unless she met with some acc-
dent, she is alive"
Mrs. Chambers is "A years old. 5 feet 8
inches in height, slender IN form. and hair
slightly tinged with gray. When she dis
appeared she wore dark coat, with cape,
a dress made from a brown material, and
ii dark straw hat, trimmed with a plaid
ribbon.
Mrs. Chambers maiden name was
Eudora Tolles. and she was the reigning
belle of Marysville when that city was
nne of the social centers of the State. Mr.
and Mrs. Chambers have been married
twelve years. the former being prominent
in business circles and his wife in society

BASEBALL TO-DAY.
Colonel T. Protest Robinson Pro-
tests a Los Angeles Game.

This afternoon at o'clock the frst
game of this weeks series of baseball will
be called at Haight-street grounds. Duke
Finn's Stockton team will be here from
Los Angeles and will play against the
team that operates under the direction of
Colonel T. Protest Robinson.
That same colonel has recently created
something of sensation in baseball cir
cles by declaring one OF the Los Angeles
games. played by the Stockton and Los
Angeles teams, null and void.
On Sunday last two games were played
at Los Angeles. As there were no post
poned games to be played and as four
games Of the series had already been
PLAYED, Colonel Robinson evidently had
something tangible upon which to base
his kick.
At "a meeting of the California League.
held on Monday night, the matter was
brought up AMI decided in favor of the
colonel.
This move disrupts the percentage
tables already published and makes it un-
certain whether the colonel can be ousted
from the first place during the coming
series or not.

FOOTBALL AGAIN.
San Franciscans May See the Har.
ward Team.


Next years football season promises to
be the most exciting one in the history of
football on this coast. Already the man.
ayers at Berkeley and Palo Alto are
securing the East in order to obtain the
best coachers possible. There are many
good players in the East who would be
willing and are anxious TO come to this
coast, but after having such men as Camp
and McClung the university players have
become very particular. and will only take
the best men possible.
Besides this, since it became known that
the Harvard team might visit the coast
they are more anxious than ever to secure
man who will put them into condition to
make good showing against the Cam
bridge men.

graph as means of communication be-
tween this city and Fresno. All one has
to do is to go to public telephone station

person 220 miles away.
The line was opened yesterday and the
first communication was sent over the
wires early in the morning.
The wires go by way of Redwood City,
San Jose, Gilroy, Hollster and San Juan.
This Is the longest distance that it is posi-
bic to converse in the State.

unfinished is between Soledad and Lom-
poe, in Santa Barbara County.

 c. Ford Seeley, the Hartford bicycle rider, was defeated at South NOrwalk on Saturday by J. B. Perry of that city. The race was for ten miles and Perry s time was 29:06, the best ever made over the course. Perry defeated Seeley a week ago in a twenty-five mIle road race between Hartford and New Britain.
 Cleveland is carrying more pitchers than any other club-seven all told. Of course wedding out will soon be in order. The pitchers of the above club are: Young, Clarkson, Cuppy, Davies. Hastings, Williams and Stafford.
 Strange that no club goes after Ad Gumbert, one of the best pitchers, all things considered, in the business. His excessive terms appear to have scared all managers.
 Pete Browning is one of the few ball players who really broke themselves of the drinking habit. Pete has now been teetotaler three years.
 Pitcher KilIen of Pittsburg IS accused of continually baking. It is claimed that he has a deceptive motion of his body similar and superior to the one so successfully used by Calvin for many years.
 Catcher Mack, of the Pittsburgs, for merly of the Merdens and Hartfords, was so badly spiked by Long running into him in the game at Boston on Tues day that he will be laid up for a month at least, if not for the remainder of the season.
 The Louisville team is made up of ex- ceptionally good players in spite of the fact that the club holds the tail-end position. A couple of good pitchers would make a wonderful change in LouisvilIe's work and position.

 The alarm blown about 1 o'clock Sun day morning was for an incendiary fire l which consumed three barns owned by Chittendon Bebee.

Dl Hart laid down the formula that choler; dirty disease, brought by dirty peo ple to dirty places and diffused by dirty water. He also said that it was no usI o add whiskey to drinking water il |rder to kill the germs. The whiskey would do the drinker no good all, wouldn't hurt the germs.

Suffering From Tremens.

SHELTON, June 19.-Saturday after noon a telephone message was received from Wells Hollow notifying Chief of Police Tomlinson that an insane man was lying by the side of the road and needed looking after. The officer went after him and found him under some hazel nut bushes chewing the leaves ravenously. He was brought to the lookup, where he gave his name as Michael Brennan of 22 Fulton street, Bridgeport, claiming to own the house at that number. He was evidently in the last stages of delirium tremens and a physician was called to care for him. The Bridgeport police were notified Saturday night, but up to last night no one had come for him.
