TOM MOVES IS ALL RIGHT
The Case of Mysterious Disap-
pearance Is Explained.
ON HIS WAY TO ALASKA
He Left San Francisco After Receiving
Telegram From His Father at Sc
attic, Fully Expecting to Re-
turn to the Golden Gate

Tom Noyes, the young man who left
the Palace hotel in San Francisco with
out notifying his friends or the hotel
people. as related in a dispatch from
that city, published in the Standard
yesterday morning, is not a case of
mysterious disappearance" for he is
on the way TO Alaska, having sailed
from Seattle for Juneau three days ago.
This fact was contained in a letter re-
ceived by some of his relatives in Butte
yesterday from his father, John Noyes,
who is at present in Seattle.
According to a statement made yes
terday by a member of his family, there
has at no time been any occasion for
alarm or uneasiness on the part of his
San Francisco friends or justification
for the sensational coloring given his
disappearance from San Francisco, The
young man was sent to California some
months ago for the benefit of his health.
and spent his time between Paso Ro-
bles and San Francisco. He had plenty
of money at his command and had
every opportunity for good time.
About week ago his father telegraph
ed him from Seattle to meet him at that
place and to leave San Francisco on the
first train. Mr. Noyes gave the young
man no instructions as to what he
wanted him TO do, and it is presumed
that Tom had an idea he would be al
lowed to return TO San Francisco in a
few days, and therefore did not notify
his friends in that city and left all his
baggage in his rooms at the Palace. 1t
is thought also probable that he pur-
posely left his baggage behind as an
excuse for returning to San Francisco,
but when he reached Seattle he found
that his father wanted him to so to
Alaska with a party of mining men,
who were then about ready TO sail for
Juneau.
Tom did not have time to arrange his
affairs in San Francisco, and his father
told him he would attend to it, and the
young man sailed from Seattle last
Saturday. His father in the letter re-
ceived from him yesterday, stated that
he had sent instructions to the Palace
hotel to forward the young mans eff
fects to Butte and send bill for any
thing Tom might be owing. 1t is
claimed that the hotel people had no
reason for fearing that they would not
be paid. if such was the case, as the
young mans baggage was worth at
least $500. and they knew that his fam
lily was good for all the debts he might
have contracted.
John Noyes IL interested with Colonel
Lambert and others in some mines near
Juneau and at Cooks Inlet, and the
party with which Tom was sent went
to inspect those properties and will then
proceed on to the klondyke.

MADE FAST TIME.
Very Few 2-Year-Oids in California That
Can Beat the Montana FiIly Yule
in Less Than "a Mile.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
San Francisco, Dec. 21.-There are
very few 2-year-olds now racing in CAL
ifornia who can give the Montana filly.
9ule, beating at anything less than a
mile. This was demonstrated to-day in
a fiye-and half furlongs dash, when
Yule finished third. ahead of such
cracks as Spunwell, who beat Bliss
Rucker and the mighty Rubicon in a
stake race Friday, Highland Ball, No
via and Official, each of whom is ranked
as top-notcher in the 2-year-old
ranks, Yule got off next to last, and
was in that position when the stretch
was reached. Then she came like a
record breaker and rapidly passed all
the flyers but Lord Marmion and At
tainment, who finished first and second
respectively.
The running of Yule in the stretch
had much to do with the remarkab bly,
fast time in which the race was run,
1.061a, phenomenal performance for a
2-year-old. Had Mr.. Buffers filly been
given anything like a good ride she
would probably have finished second at
least, and probably first. Eddie, Jones,
however, managed to get Yule in a
dozen pockets all the way round and
the sight was enough to make the hlly' 5
hackers turn all kinds of colors. The
ill-luck of Yule to-day had been such
as has followed since her first start in

she didn't die this time she would only
try IL again. Several other women in
the house paid no attention whatever
