CHARGED WITH BURGLARY BY
LIZZIE BUCKLEY.
Because She Refused to Marry Him

Stole a Valuable Gar

Andrew Anzene, a love-stricken rancher
of Fort Bragg, is locked UP in the City
Prison with a charge of burglary record
ed against his name. Some time ago
Anzene met a young woman named Nellie
Buckley, also q resident of Fort Bragg,
and fell desperately in love with her.
His attentions became so obnoxious to
her that she decided to leave Fort Bragg
in the hope of getting rid of him. She
came to this city about six weeks ago
and rented apartments in a lodging house
at 11S Sixth street. Her ardent sutton fol-
lowed her here, and learning her address,
he took room in the same house. Again
he begged her to become his wife. and
when she refused he threatened to kill
her.
Fearing violence at his hands Miss
Buckley moved to another house, expect
ing that Anzene would not follow her.
Scarcely had she unpacked her trunk
when Anzene appeared on the scene and
proceeded to annoy her with his atten-
tons. In order to get rid of him the
woman secretly left the house and went
to visit a friend on Mission street. On
her return she was surprised to find that
her room had been entered during her
absence and her cloak and dress stolen.
Suspecting that Anzene had taken them
she sent for him and asked him for an
explanation.
He readily admitted his guilt, and prom
Used to return the articles. The following
day he sent the cloak and dress to Miss
Buckley with many apologies for having
taken them.
A short time afterward Miss Buckley in
closed IS in a letter which was addressed
to friend III Fort Bragg. She entrusted
the letter to the purser of the steamer
which runs to that place, with instruc-
lions to deliver 1t. In some way Anzene
learned of the letter, and he schemed TO
get possession of it. Taking passage on
ha CT ha q waited the nnnOrtnnitV,
and finally secured the letter. With the
missive secreted in his inside vest pocket
Anzene returned to this city and again
proceeded to make violent love TO the OBJ
ject of his affections.
Failing to hear from the friend to whom
she had sent the money, Miss Buckley be-
came anxious and hunted up the purser
of the steamer and asked him If he had
delivered the letter. He informed her
that 1t had been stolen, but offered to re-
fund the amount. Suspecttng that Anzene
knew something about the theft Of the
letter, Miss Buckley accused him of hav-
ing taken it. With tears streaming down
his cheeks Anzene confessed that ne mac
stolen it. He explained that he thought
Miss Buckley was in love with the person
to whom the letter was addressed. and
being insanefy jealous of her, he attempt
ed to get possession of the missive. He
then handed the woman the amount he
had distracted from the letter.
Last Wednesday night Miss buckley
went for walk, and on returning TO hel
room she found the window open. A
subsequent examination revealed tnat the
room had been entered and valuable
dress taken. AnZene was the culprit

window of the room occupied by Miss
