West Oakland is gossiping tonight over
what is supposed to be double elope-
ment. Miss Rollins and Miss Clifford,
who live in the neighborhood of Fifth
and Chester streets, have suddenly left
their homes and it is reported
that they have gone with a
couple of young gentlemen from San
Francisco, whose names are not known to
their parents. Their leaving home was
reported to the police tonight and de-
tailed description of the girls was sent to
San Francisco, where it is believed they
have gone.
The young ladies are about IL years OF
age and so far have enjoyed the very best
reputation, and neither has ever given
any indication of a disposition to be
giddy. A week ago two men from San
Francisco made the acquaintance of the
girls, and they have been in the vicinity
of the young ladies' homes on two oc-
casions since.
The girls are both of medium height,
fair, and tolerably attractive. Their
parents are sparing no effort to find them,
and will place serious charges against
their companions.

No fares are to be charged for local rid

car, and those who have maintained all the

tering the car they will find it convenient
to show ticket for some place on the
line. The conductors admit that the gates

. only daughter Myrah, and read: "I pur-
/. posely omit leaving her any property. l
know her mother will provide for her."
The secret of this little clause dates
back to the early spring of this year,
when without her parents consent Miss
. Myrah, then just little older than Is,
osecfstly married. Little was said about
the affair at the time, and even now the
fact that the attractive and only daughter
of thee late popular merchant is Mrs. 2.
w. Evans is not very generally known.
Mr.. OBrien died rather suddenly about
two weeks ago and left fine estate valued
at about $780, 600.
The quiet wedding at Los Angeles last
spring had. touch of romance about it.
j.. Miss OBrien and K. W. Evans had been
acquainted for over year. Evans was a
bookkeeper In Oakland, and although the
friendship between the young couple was
known to the parents the latter would not
give their consent ill their daughter was a
year older. Affairs were in this state when
the O'Brien family went to Los Angeles
last February. Evans accom- panied them
and was desirous Of making his permanent
home in the southern city. Although an
engagement existed between the young
folks it had not reached point where the
scruples of the parents could be overcome.
One of the chief objections to the marriage
was, 1t is stated by frienos, olHerence OF
religious belief.
While'fn Los Angeles the lovers decided
that the. time was propitious and they de-
cided to await no longer the consent OF the
family. They notified the O'Briens of
their determination and the parents re-
turned to Oakland without them. They
were duly welded on February 10 by a
Methodist clergyman ana made their
home in Los Angeles. Her parents felt
very keenly the sighting of their wishes
and Mr.. o. 'Brien said at the time that he
would have consented TO their wedding
had they agreed TO wait year longer.
When Mr.. O'Brien died interest was
centered on the provision that he had
made for his daughter. Now that the will
has been filed it is seen that the late mer-
chant left his daughters welfare IN the
hands of his widow.
An intimate friend Of the family said
to-day that long before his death the old
merchant was completely reconciled to
his daughter. However, he only left her
his jewelry, with remark that he pur-
posely omitted making any distribution
OF his estate in her favor.
