 A curious find in the drag-net of the police yesterday morning was a hobo named Jacob Theiss. The mot curious thing about it was that Theirs had 60 cents in cash on a S20 cer ,ifi- cate of deposit in the London and Sa ! Francisco bank of Portland, Ore. Theiss told a wierd story. He said that on his way down the coast he stopped at San Francisco and paid an employment agency dollar for a job in a restaurant. The only othar male person about the restaurant was an old man. The rest of the attaches were seven beautiful waitresses. Theiss fell in love with all of them and kept himself in a continuous condition of bankruptcy by buying them lsces, ribbons and other presents. There is painful perplexity in loving so many women in the same locality all Tt once. For his peace of mind and the sake of his pocketbool he resolved to es- cape. Thus he came to Phoenix and he said he wished he had stayed in San Francisco with the hash house sirens. In consideration of this TO- nance Recorder Jobs gave Theiss thirty days in the chain gang. Late in the afternoon he jumped his job and hasn't been seen since. The po- lice have the certificate of deposit, but it is of no value to them, since Thfiss had neglected to endorse it.
