Sudden Departure
 Of Restaurant Man

There were & number of persons in Tombetone this morning regrettine the sudden departure of c W Collins, of the Model Cafe, who left unce1e- moniously some time between the hours of l 80 8. m. and 6 o'clock
 Collins took charge of the Can Can res.surant under lease from John Henninser during the month of Jan uary last, and has since been running it. Ieeterdsy he collected most of the money due him from his regular boarders. and some $9S7 from the county for the feeding of prisoners, and getting it all together, he leii without paying any of his cred tor [, exce.. ore or two. Before leaving however. he took the oubie 10 write out a statement and leave it on his desk in an envelope. It was addressed "To whom it may concern and re- cited the fact that he found it neces- sary for him 10 leave, and that there was money enough coming in to pay off his help and all of the creditors, and added that he would send hack the money to pay all O the creditors if they would give him little time
 On last Sa,urd y he shipped by ex- press his trunk and suit case to Fl Paso, which would lead to the conclu- sion that he has for some time been contemplating a sudden departure.
 It is thought that he left here with some $500 to 5000. He was seen on the streets here about 80 thi: morning. and evidently left shortly afterward. but |, what manner has not yet been determined, as he did not hire rig from either of the livery stables.
 A warrant was sworn out for hi, arrest on the charge of obtaining money under false pretenses, and placed in the hands of Sheriff Hunt  Telephone messages were sent to the surrounding towns to try and ad him off if possible
 Collins had .he contract to feed the prisoners in the counfy jail at the price of l cents per meal, and it is now up 10 his londmen, John Rock and r Y Woicot;, to continue the con. tract until the hoard can take some action in the matter. John Hen ninger took charge of the restauran, this morning, and will keep the place open for business. and probably feed the prisontrs until come other sI. engagement can be made, he having provided their Il calls today.
