LANDLORD FISHBACK SKIPS
A Wife Finds That She Has Been
Deserted
The Husband Leaves for Parts Unknown,
Taking With Him Woman and
the Bank Cash

William Fishback the proprietor of the
Grand Floral house. at the corner of Los
Angeles and Commercial streets, has de-
serted his wife for member of the demi.
monde and left for parts unknown. Nor
is this all. He took away 5000 belonging
to her, leaving only 500 on deposit in
bank.
The man has been paying attention to
some of the women roomers at his place,
and as a result his Oife's jealousy has
been aroused and they have had several
rows. He is big burly fellow and she a
little faded woman. Both are Germans
and came from Truckee.
The last seen Of FIshback was two days
ago. He claimed that his wife had
scratched his face. and shortly after he
dropped out Of sight and has not been
seen since. A man who knew Fish back
very we'll claims to have seen him board
All overland train in com pany with a wo-
man, but beyond this nothing is known.
Fish back is the man who induced the
Smith woman to threaten to file charges
against Officer Stewart. claiming he had
made improper proposals to her. Fish
back acknowledged later that he knew the
allegation to have been false, and moth
ing came of it. The Smith woman IS now
serving a former sentence.

Regarding Him
ArtfuI Jim Is Wanted by Pomona Officers,
Who Charge Him With Obtaining Goods
Under False Pretenses

1t is a pleasant thing 10 learn Of our
friends and to know that others besides
ourselves are interested in them. De-
tective Moffat recently took pity upon an
old fellow incarcerated in the city jail
and gladdened the old mans heart by
giving him a suit of clothes and shoes in
which to make cIeditabe appearance
upon being discharged. He was known
as "Moffat's friend" The name of this
most worthy individual is John Z. Sykes,
an old fakir from Pomona. whose exploits
were published in The Herald several
weeks ago. He goes about the country
working the hard luck story and inducing
credulous persons to render him assist
ance. Mr.. Moffat has not lost all interest
in the person even after his true char
acter was exposed. and on reaching his
desk yesterday morning was delighted to
observe two OF the following circulars
lying before him:

false pretenses! James E. sykes (may
change his name) claims to be OF English
descent, aged about 65 height 5 feet
inches, weight about 134, has a heavy
growth OF gray hair ana wore whlskers

tache grow, blind in right eye not easily
noticed. two middle fingers OF lett hand
