ANNA'S FlNERY
 IS THREATENED Attachment Out Against Mile. Held for a Laundry
 Bill.
Sued for S9 o5 for Cleaning Various Articles of Apparel, Including
 Hosiery and Gloves.

Anna Held-the star of the milky way is in distress and unless some one of her devoted admirers comes to her assistance Anna may have to divorce herself rom
 some of her American dollars. Not many of them, but enough to cause her severe
 spasm of anguish. for Anna loves the
 American dollar five times better than
 she does the franc of her native land and hundredfold more than the most tay- ored of her devotees.
 Who among the throngs who watched
 the entrancing Parisenne pirouette about the stage of the Baldwin, lavishing her smiles upon all with distracring impar- | tiality, would have imagined she was the victim of remorseless creditor? But such was the case, and although Anna has bidden farewell to the Golden Gate and has got as far as Oakland on her return east, she is still pursued by the haunting fear that she will have to yield up $S 95 with a few dollars addi- tional for costs, etc.
 And it looks as though Anna's fears were not without cause. for Anna has
 been sued, sued for sS 95 for the cleaning of her clothes.
 Norah Clifford and C. l.. Snow. com prising the firm of John F. Snow & Co.,, are the people who are making life a burden for the divine Held. In a com plaint filed in the Justice Court yester- l day they allege that on the 4th of the present month they entered into an agree | ment with the Queen of Vaudeville
 whereby they were to renovate certain articles of wearing apparel enumerated | as follows: One satin dress, one pair of | tights Quality not stated), three pairs of SILK hose, one hat, three feathers, three pairs of shoes and fifteen pairs of gloves,
 said lot to be duly scrubbed laundered
 etc, for the sum of $S s5. This, according | to the complaint was satisfactory to the
 defendant, and the refurbishing process was properly performed and the articles
 returned to their owner on April 10. but | she then and has since consistently re- fused to pay the bill, although repeatedly
 asked to do so.
 As Anna has completed her engagement here and last night was in Oakland, steps | goods and chattels, and for that purpose | an attachment was taken out both here
 and in Oakland. The plaintiffs are de-
 aronnd aerm1ned, Leru ana Anna will have to skip offlcers from getting nolu of her effects
 OAKLAND, April 13.-Anna Held caused
 chase tonight. About o'clock a MT.
 Sabln, representing the Bushnell Photo
 graph Gallery, appeared at the police sta
 ton ana told Captain Carson of his woes. | He said his firm had loaned the Held | company while in San Francisco a valua- | ble picture, and they had gone off with it.
 He asked for warrant for petty lar
 ceny or anything that would recover the | picture. This could not be issued, as Miss Held's manager. Siegfried, said the talk | ing of the picture was a mistake and that l II Cne man went to the prop erty car in West Oakland he could get it. | The car was visited. but no picture was 1 found and it was learned that it is in a | car that is now supposed to be near Salt l Lake. This ended that incident
 About the same time Deputy Sheriff | Buckingham from San Francisco appeared at the Sheriff's office with a simmons 1 authorizing the attachment of Anna
 Helds property for the sum of SS 90 for a l dye concern in San Francisco. The claim was in the name of Norah Clifford. The | summons was served on the actress and a | visit was made to the railroad yards to
 attach few dollars worth of the actress property that so many columns have been | written about.
 The manager calmly told the deputy | a gem or a stitch of clothing was the | property of Miss Held, and the officer had | to return with no satisfaction.
