The morning call., 1893-10-04
ALL ARE MISSING.
Splendid Material for an
Elopement.
The Wife of Fruit.Dealer, $50 in
Coin and a Pugilist Have
Disappeared.

Telegraph Hill has sensation. and
social circles of the colony on its western
slope are wrought up as they have not
been in many day.
Louis Lavaroni's pretty 19-year-o old wife
has been missing since o'clock yesterday
morning, and in the haste of her departure
she neglected to leave word with hel
husband as 10 whore she was going.
Lavaroni has a frutstore at the corner OF
Stockton and Greenwich streets. Eighty
dollars, which represents the profits of t he
business for the asst four months. has also
disappeared. and NO receipt was left to tell
who was a creditor to that amount.
And Jake SeidmaD, who is known to the
sporting world as Young Choynski, and
who lives with his parents at 1907 Stockton
street, just few doors north of the fruit
stand, left home early yesterday morning
in answer to a note brought by messen-
ger-boy. and there has since been vacant
chair at the Sedman table.
Just what connection there may be be-
tween all Of these mysterious disappear
ances is furnishing material for good
deal Of discussion on Telegraph Hill, and
the consensus of opinion among the
people VINO ought to know Is that there
has been an elopement, and that the wife,
the pugiliSt and what Is left OF the money
will all be found together if they are
found at all.
Lavaroni started down to the market
about O'clO yesterday morning, and
when he returned, an hour later, he found
that his wife had gone and the money as
we'll. while her fOur-month-old baby was
sleeping in the cradle. She had left
Lavaroni's younger brother IN charge of
the store without telling him where she
was going Upon inquiry the deserted
husband ascertained from neghDOr that
his wife had said she was going to run
away, but had given no reason for
doing so.
Lavaroni has been married about two
years and half and says that everything
has been very happy at his homo until
very lately, when a change seemed to
come over his wife and she acted very diff
ferently from the way she has been wont
to conduct herself.
Seidman and Lavaroni had been close
friends for some time and Seldman spent
great deal of time at the fruitstore, but
cluded that his pugilistic friend was smil-
ing rather too much on his better half and
he threw the prize-fghter out OF the store
into the street.
Since then nothing had happened to
cause him to suspect that anything was
wrong until the disappearance Of yes
terday.
At tuC OCjutuhu Io0tuCuC6 dll kuU Wlruk0
of the whereabouts of the missing ones
was denied. Indeed.I they did not thin
that there had been an elopemeut, they
seid, and were quite sure that the absent
son would be at home that night.
He had been at home until about 80 in
the morning, when message was brought
to him, and after reading 1t he told his
parents that professional friend of bis
named 10 King had just come to town and
that he must 60 and see him.
But, while the irate parent admitted that
it was little unusual for Jake to be
away so long without telling them where
he was, he insisted that it could not be
possible that he had eloped. At least, if
such thing were possible he knew moth
ing Of it.
From another source. however, it was
learned that Seidman Sr. had received a
dispatch during the afternoon locating the
couple. and telling him not to worry about
them, as they were all right. But the tele-
gram did not seem TO have very soothing
effect on any Of the parties named.
Lavaroni called at Chief Crowley office
last night to solicit the aid of the police IN
hunting up his $50. He says his wife can
90, as he does not want her to come back
after playing such q trick on him. but he
intimates that he is prepared to give Young
Choynski tropical reception when ne
