LAURA MILLARD'S
EXCITING CHASE
Mounted on Bicycle, She Rides
After Thief Until Her Stolen
Watch Is Recovered.

CHICAGO, April 29.-Laura Millard
Of the Castle Square Opera Company
had an exciting six-mile chase this
afternoon after a thief who had her
diamond-studded watch, given her by
San Francisco admirers when she was
sharing honors with Alice Nelson in
the Tivoli in that city. Miss Millard
arrived in the city last night and had
worked hard all the morning rehears-
ing for the part she is to take in the
Gypsy Baron" This afternoon she
sought relaxation in a bicycle ride.
On the way back to the hotel, when
near Park Row and Michigan avenue,
she looked at her watch, and in at
tempting to return it to her belt it
dropped.
She stopned as quickly as she could,
but not so quickly as boy. also on
a wheel, who, without dismounting.
picked up the bauble and started south
on the boulevard as fast as he could
go. Miss Millard did not waste any
wind shouting after him. but climbing
on her wheel, gave chase. She could
not overhaul the nervy youngster until
he reached Fiftieth street, when she
began to close upon him. A mounted
policeman just then came into view and
the thief dropped the watch lodged
down Fifty-first street. UP an alley and
lost himself. Miss Millard was badly
winded, but was so glad to get back
the waite that she refused the offer of
the police to care for her wheel and
procure carriage for her to ride back
to town

sDecsl Dispatch to The Call.

NEVADA CITY, April 29.-Hydrau-
ticker Thomas Hall. one of the leading
miners of he San Juan ridge in this
county, must answer to a charge of
murder. His hearing will be a mere
matter of torm, doubtless. and will end

returned his afternoon from French
Corral where the killing that led up TO
the arres occurred and who looked
into the case closely, say there is no
hope of obtaining conviction.
On Thursday night Hall caught an
Americanize1 and heavily armed Chi
nese named All Yum robbing the sluices
of the mine that he and c. D. French
own. He fired a charge of buckshot
into the lead of the robber, instantly
killing him Yesterday County Coroner
Daniels and jury held an inquest and
declared that Hall did the killing in
defense If his life and property and
was justified.

MARIN DA|RYMAN
REPORTED MISSING
Sheriff Taylor Asked to
Investigate.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BOLINAS, April 29.-The residents
of this community are considerably
perturbed over the disappearance of
Frank Silva, we'll known dairyman-
The circumstances are such that to-
day Sheriff Taylor was communicated
with o. 4 asked to nal an investiga-
ton by the relatives of the missing
man, who fear Silva may have been
the victim of foul play.
Silva lived on what is known as the
Lake ranch, a few miles from town.
and there conducted a dairy farm. with
three brothers as partners. He was OF
a sober Ind industrious disposition and
never drank to excess
Shortly before he vanished Silva
stood near the rear entrance of the
house engaged in conversation with one
of his brothers. named Manuel. After
a chat they larted, Manuel going to
the barn and Frank into the house.
When the time came to milk the cows
Frank was nowhere to be found. AT
first nothing was thought of this, de-
spite the regularity of his habits, but
at the expiration of half hour the
others repeatedly halloed for him to
make his appearance and assist in the
duties of the ranch. No response COM
ing to these calls, one of the brothers
went to the house, but the man he
sought was not there. The next morn
ing the brothers grew alarmed and
came to town to see if Frank had been
here, but nobody had seen him.
To-day Sheriff Taylor was notified OF
the disappearance and will make a
prompt investigation. Searching par
ties here traversed the hills and the
beach. but no clew has been obtained.
Many believe the missing man may
have wandered away in a moment of
mental alteration, but at this theory
the brothers scott. They say he was al
ways lighthearted, had no cares to
worry him and must have been muir
dered and his body hidden.
