JACK EUSTACE MISSING.
Popular saloonkeeper Fails to Show

loon Is Closed

Jack Eustace is said to have taken his
departure from Kansas City. He was last
seen by his intimates Saturday evening and
was then in his most conciliating and gra-
cious mood. Last night his saloon at Ninth
and Broadway was closed and the report
prevailed that when it's doors are again
opened that new sign will adorn its front
and that another proprietor will smile from
behind the mohogany on the thirsty throng
Jack has had an interesting career. He
has touched elbows with all sorts of peo-
pie. He is as much at home in the cafes
OF New York as he is in the hurdy- gurdies
Of the West. In Denver, where he held
forth in the Tabor opera house block for
years, no more popular man than he ever
lived. He is a high roller. He Is reputed
to be great admirer of Gods best gift
to man" and it is his delight to look upon
wine when it sparkles and effervesces. For
money he cares not, save for the pleasure
its temporary possession can afford him.
Unmarried, gay, gallant and sociable, he
will be missed in certain circles and by
several creditors, among whom are his late
employees, his departure will be the cause
of keen regret. He may return, for 1t is
possible he has enlisted in the squad known
as mysterious disappearers." Should he
again appear on the rialto he will receive
the glad hand, for with all his faults, he is
good fellow.
