MISSING SIXTEEN DAYS.
Luman S. Fishers Whereabouts
Is Unknown to His
Friends.
Disappeared en- a Bicyc'e - A Few
Years Ago He Squandered
F rune.

Luman S. Fisher, young man form erly
in the employ of Hooker & Co., on
Drumm street, and a resident at the In
ternational Hotel, has been missing now
for sixteen days and no one of his daily
acquaiutances knows where he is or why
he disappeared.
Fisher was employed six years ago by
the old firm of Truman & Hooker. He
fell heir to $4,000 and quit work. Two
years ago he had spent all the money. He
then applied to his former employers for
work and was given his old place.
Latterly he has been short of money,
though neither debt nor disgrace seems to
ha We figured as q possible cause for his
sudden ard inexphca bic disappearance.
On January 8 he left the store as usual
and af erward went TO his room in the
International Hotel. He soon came down
stairs IN a bicycle suit, mounted his wheel
and rode off, whittier none but he can
tell. He left his belonging in the room
undisturbed and among them was his
street suit, for which he had substituted
his cycle attire.
He owed only a part of a weeks board
at the hotel when he left and there seems
10 have been no other bills 10 embarrass
him.
''My opinion is that Fisher just struck
o ut for some new place. where he could
leave his iolIies behind him" said one of
the missing mans fellow-emp ployes who
was again making inquiries about him
last night. "Fisher was quiet, secretive
sort of fellow. He is all straight at the
store. I think there are a few dollars
coming to him. He couldn't have had
much money when he lett; not over $40,
perhaps. l don't think he has committed
suicide or done anything like that.
"He has brother who lives at San An
selmo, but the brother does not seem TO
worry much over the disappearance. He
is goody-goody sort OF fellow and has
taken care OF his property.
They used to room together when the
one VINO is missing began spending his
money at the rate of from $500 to $500
month, and the brother couldn't for the
life OF him find out what he was spending
it on.
Il think that when he got the money
he was good thing and people worked
him. Now when he has had time 10
think it over, ha has concluded to skip
and get into some place where he can be-
gin all over again.
''He is, / should think, between q and
% years old, about feet 10 inches tall, is
slightly built and has smooth face. His
HAIR is full and of a dark auburn"

but they paid no attention to the COM
mand, but started on run in the shade
OF some freightcars standing on illinois
street. Clancy fred e shot in the direc-
ton in which they were going. This was
answered. by return com pliment of the
same character The officer continued the
fire until he had emptied his revolver.
The burglars in the meantime increased
their speed until they reached the end of
Kentucky street where it intersects
Fourth. Here they OF in the shelter of
the lumb Der, and thus baffled the pursuit
and eventually escaped with their
plumber.
When or where they will next report
for night duty in that section is just what
is annoying Lieutenant George Bennett
of the Southern station, who is considered
one of the best thief-catchers on the police
force. However this may be, he has sue
ceeded in Kidding the soui hern section of
the rough gang that infested it previous
to his going there. and should the two
industrious young gentlemen run across
his path their labors in this direction
will be chanced for the more profitable
one to the Stale of making jute bags.

CLAUD DUVAL.
IN THE POTRERO
On Foot and on Horseback
He Plies His Nefarious
Vocation.
Houses, Stab es and Barns En-
tered During the Early
Morning Hours.
A Man B aten Into Insensibility and
His Wife Asssu I'd During
the Twilig ht.

Within the past week the Potrero has
been visited by two desperate, bold men,
who so far have succeeded in keeping out
of the reach of the police of that section
of the City.
The first appearance OF those two daring
men was on Friday, the 18th inst. When
Mr.. and Mr.. Florence Augustine,
who live al 81 Seventh avenue, were re-
turning to their home on Railroad and
Second avenues. near Butchertown, at
O'clock In the evening, they were met by
two men aged about rs years, who walked
close behind them until the outskirts OF
Butchertown were passed. Then one of
them dealt Mr.. Augustine assuming blow
on the head from behind, which rendered
him unconsc GUS for the time being. I'M
mediately thereafter Mrs. Augustine vas
seized by the pair OF ruffians and hurried
some distance from where her husband
lay on the sidewalk and brutally assaulted
by both men, after which they took their
departure.
The next heard from supposedly the
same young men was Oh last Monday, the
18th, when Thomas OToole's room at the
Continental Hotel was entered during the
night and all his clothing stolen.
II Jew nlS HtS subsequently Suc ICSlucuCo
of Mr.. Roberts at 335 Mississippi street
was Wis ted by two young men on horse
back at o'clock in the morning. The
men answered the desc iption OF those
who assaulted Mrs. Augustine. They
forcibly entered the barn aud stole seven
iy-ive grainsacks, all that, fortunately for
Roberts, was in the building at the time.
The next mark left by these two indus
trious men-or, at least, the men supposed
to be them, was on the morning of the
10Th, when Thomas Strahan's premises
were visited and his stable door forced
open and a buggy-robe and set of har-
ness taken.
T es depredations proved to be only
bypIays for the night visitors as COM
pared with later discoveries. On the
night of Wednesday, the 10Th, they en-
tered the Olympic Hotel, about hundred
yards from the police station, kept by
Thomas Small. There the burglars car
ried off everything of any value in the
shape of jewelrv and silverware, the total
value of which amounts to about $400. A
complete inventory of the property is in
the custody OF the Chief of Police.
In this daring act they were observed
by Officer III. G. Clancy at 8 clock in the
morning as they emerged from the hotel
loaded down with the stolen goods.
The officer commanded them to stop,
