on the Sailing Vessel.

The long arm of the law is searching out
for E. S. Cattley, the young man who man
aged to gain the confidence of fellow
countryman, P. George Cow, on recent
journey across the continent. For two
weeks or more he enjoyed the companion
ship and hospitality of Mr.. Cow at his
club, in the woods and at other places, and
then robbed his host in the meanest man
ner imaginab BILE.
AS related in THE CALL, he went to
Cows apartments on Taylor street and
presenting to the Iandady letter pur-
porting to be from Cow, secured the latter 8
baggage, wearing apparel, gun, traps and
gold samples. The samples were valued at
$500. and Cattley Obtained $500 for the col
lection at Selby's assay office
The day after the robbery was perpe-
trated Cattley engaged passage for Homo
lulu on the barkentine Wilder and de-
parted: Before leaving San Francisco he
made himself SO agreeable ard interesting
TO many of Mr.. Cows young friends in So.
ciety that one of them gave him letter
requesting the captain of the barkentine
to make the passage of Cattley as delight
full as circumstances would permit.
Cattley had stated repeatedly that he
was a brother-in-law of the British Vice
Consul at Honolulu and the friend of others
equally well known n the capital of Ha-
waii and so obtained favorable consider
ation =.
Cattley, with all of his shrewdness as a
swindler, did not take into calculation the
power of steam on the ocean. While he
is sailing away on the Wilder, ENJOYING
the sweet illusion that he is travelling in
advance of his record, "a detective from
San Francisco with papers for his arrest
is speeding by steamer from Tacoma to
Honolulu, and will get to, Hawaii before
the Wilder is sighted.
Last Monday the Grand Jury of San
Francisco found two indictments against
CatLley-oEe for forgery and the other for
ENFORCEMENT. Moreover another letter
has gone to the.captain of the barkentine
Wilder. 1t will be placed in his hands I'M
mediately on his arrival at Honolulu 1t
will convey tothe captain the information
that Cattley is scamp, robber and adj
venturer. A letter also goes by steamer
to the British Vice-Oonsul, wherein that
.functionary Is informed that Cattley in
San Francisco represented himself as his
brother-in-law, and on such representation
obtained kindness, courtesy and hospital
ity which he shamefully abused. In short,
the whole story of the methods employed
to rob Mr.. Cow is. told to her Majesty's
Consular representative in Hawaii.
To make dopbly sure that Cattley shall
not get away, the Hawaiian authorities
are notified that he has arms and NUM-
tons of war in his possession, for he took
Cows beautiful shotgun and some ammu-
milton for the same.
When Cattley steps ashore at Honolulu,
arrayed in Cows finest English attire, the
long arm of the. law will take him by the
collar and lead him to jail He will be
confronted by the proofs of his crime, and
if some of the cleverest work is not done in
his behalf by Hawaiian attorneys he will
be brought to San Francisco on extradi-
ton papers.
