to the custodian of the stones.
The pawnbroker jumped al the chance
took 800 from his safe TO make the dicker
with 'Reardon" and started with Walker
to find him.
The negro walked Lubelsh to Jones and
Sutter streets. near which junction he said
the man wanted could be found. When
they arrived there "Reardon' was not in
sight, but Walker was nothing daunted.
Turning to the owner Of the vanished
stones he told him that "Reardon" was

companion several more blocks on the pre-
tense of looking for the man with the
gems.
BY this time Lubelski had arrived at the
conclusion that "Reardon' was a myth.
He declined to hunt longer for him, and
induced Walker TO accompany him to his
place of business. Arrived there, Lubel-
ski managed, through one of his clerks,
to communicate with police headquarters
while he held the negro in conversation.
Detective Graham arrived at the store a
few minutes later, and Lubelsh turned
over to him Walker and his story. The
colored man stuck to it, notwithstanding
the expressed unbellef of the officer, and
offered to go with him on the search for
"Reardon."
Walker who was as good a traveller as
his name would indicate. took the de-
tective over the same route pursued with
Lubelski. with the result that neither hide
nor hair of "Reardon" could be found.

Before Mrs. Lubelsld had occasion to
need the gems her husband decided to go
out and get a cigar. He gathered up his
overcoat and departed. He had not been
gone five minutes when his wife began
looking for the gems. She hunted high
and low until his return, but could not
even see a sparkle. When Lubelski got
back he was informed of the loss of the
jewels and he Soined in the search The

ASSESSOR DODGE GETS
NAMES OF BANK CLERKS
HIBERNIA DIRECTORS GIVE LIST
OF EMPLOYEES.
Officials of the Institution Conclude
That the Demands of the Doctor
Should Be Acceded to.

A truce has been called and hostilities
suspended between the forces of Assessor
Dodge and the clerks employed in the
Hibernia Bank. The latter will pungle
two big silver dollars each. which the
Assessor demands as poll tax, and the
charge of battery against the pugnacious
Mr. McGlynn will in all probability be
withdrawn.
The Assessor was very wroth over the
manner in which his deputies had been
treated by the bank clerks Tuesday, and
Yesterday afternoon he again marshaled
his forces and led the attack on the finan-
cial institution in person The bank of
ficials were expecting him, and the As
SCISSOR was at once ushered into the di-
rectorS' room and pleasantly informed
that the directors at a meeting held In
the forenoon had decided that the names
of the employees of the institution should
be furnished to the Assessor as requested.
1t was explained that there had never
been any desire upon the part of the re-
sponSible officers of the institution to
place obstacles in the way OF the collec-
ton of the poll tax, the whole trouble
being due to the unwarra1fted efficious-
ness of subordinate The Assessor then
retired to his office, taking with him the
coveted roll. He does not anticipate any
trouble in collecting the tax, as now that
he has the names he can collect from
the bank in case the clerks refuse TO toe
Assessor Dodge desires to correct the
statement that was made in some of the
morning papers to the effect that Mr.
Tobin had refused on demand to give a
list and was therefore liable to arrest
This gentleman, Assessor Dodge states,
was out of town and was not the official
on whom the demand was made. and the
statement that his arrest was ever con-
templated was erroneous and does the
gentleman an injustice.
When the case of Charles j. McGlynn.
charged with assaulting Deputy Assessor
Pratt, was called in Judge Graham s
court yesterday the attorneys for the
prosecution asked for a continuance until
to-day, which was granted. Assessor
Dodge intimated later that he would not
push the case against the clerk.

bachelor dubbed Mark Hanna" who

week that tends TO confirm this belief.

several friends when he noticed a seal

NH RS. BEN BUTLER, the stateliest
M matron of the seal herd on the
IVI rocks at the Cliff House, was
stretched at full length yester-
day on what $nay prove to be her
deathbed. Hundreds Of visitors to the
resort watched her as she lay notion
less on the sunny slope of the central
rock, unmindful of the circling sea
gulls above or of her youngest son,
Spoons" stretched out below her.
Early in the morning the attaches Of
the Cliff House had their attention
called to the rocks by the unearthly
barkngs of the dame. She kept them
up necessarily, and as this vociferous-
ness was something entirely out Of
line with the former conduct of Mrs.
Ben" much curiosity was aroused. It
was noticed that her barkings were
accompanied with convulsive jerkings
of the body, and the conclusion was
reached that she had been wounded in
some way. Major Daniel Webster
Moore, the seal sharp al the Cliff
House, trained his binoculars on the
restive amphibian, and after a hasty
inspection announced that she had
cash in her back fully six inches long.
This fact, coupled with the knowl-
edge that bill Mckinley" the big
bachelor seal, was lying on the rock to
