a LONELY HOUSE LOOTED,
Burglars Enter the Residence of
Frank Endlich ond Leave
but Little.

One of the most daring burglaries
that has been committed in the city
cleaned out the residence of Frank P.
Endlich Of 1929 Van Ness avenue last
Friday.
Endlich is a gardener by trade, and
he was out at his work when the bur
glary was committed. His wife left
the house at half-past 8 o'clock, and
when she returned at she found the
house in a horrible condition Closets,
trunks, bureaus and wardrobes had all
been opened and their contents had
been thrown over the floor. Every
thing of value had been taken, the loot
including numerous articles of jewel
cry, most of them keepsakes, which
the unfortunate victims thought
great deal Of. Some money was taken,
but the amount was not large
The house is the last one on Van
Ness avenue, and the vicinity is a
lonely one. officer Van de Bogart
made an investigation and found that
the robber had entered by one of the
front windows, which he had priSed
open with an iron bar Some painters
who were working in the vicinity said
they had seen no one in the house nor
near it, and the police are at a loss as
to where to find the criminal It is
thought that perhaps there was more
than one man concerned in the rob-
berry.

Most Popular in California.

Most Popular in California.
One of the oldest and best known ho-
tells in San Francisco is the Russ
House, of which Captain J. S. Young is
proprietor. This famous hostelry is the
popular resort for residents of the in
terror and travellers who prefer the
solid comforts of home such as is
provided by Captain Young, to the In
conveniences that necessarily accom-
pany the rigorous etiquette maintained
at higher priced hotels.
Captain Young is an experienced no.
tel man, he having been in the hotel
business for several years in Arizona.
He then went to Virginia City, where
for fourteen years he managed the
Brooklyn Hotel. subsequently he went
to Arizona and New Mexico, and
thence to Healdsburg. where for nine
years he conducted the Sotoyome
House. On July 1, 1892, he purchased
the lease of the Russ House, at time
when it's fortunes We're on the wane.
By careful management, the exercise of
conservative business methods, and by
reason of his assiduous efforts in the
interests of his guests, he has succeed
ed in building up an enviable business.
Captain Young has hundreds of friends
in this city who win felicitate him upon
his well deserved success.
