her money. shortly after the earth

meal at a curbstone restaurant at
Geary and Franklin streets. At first he
denied his identity and feigRed 1nd1g-
nation, but finally admitted he was the
man wanted. He was taken to the
Stanyan- street police station and the
Sheriff notified of his arrest.
The police learned that Ward had
been making love to a widow named
Carlisle. one of the refugees in Golden
Gate Park camp. who Is said to be pos
sessed of wealth. He represented to
her that he was a man of wealth, a
scion of a noble English family. and
would inherit fortune of 100000. He
is over so years of age. but dresses in
clothes more betting youth than an
old man.
He first came to the notice of the
ponce on LnlS coast WIen lie was az
cused of embezzling money belonging
to a widow in Pasadena, in 1904. He
was convicted and sentenced TO serve
ten years in Folsom penitentiary. He
appealed to the Supreme Court and was
successful in beating the case The
Pasadena authorities were notified at
that time by the Salt Lake authorities
that Ward had left there with woman

He was arrested, but the woman re-
fused to prosecute him. 5. Lathrop,
jeweler, was not so forgiving. and he
preferred a charge of embezzlement
against Ward. Lathrop alleged that
Ward had obtained from him diamond
ring which he presented to Mrs La
horere. There was question as TO the
value of the ring, and the charge was
reduced to misdemeanor embezzlement-

The Hayes-street line will run in
two sections. One part of the line
will run from Devisadero west to the

end will run from Devisadero street
east to the ferry.
Work on Suffer street is progress

the many obstacles the company is

The company had been waiting for
this material for several weeks, and
now that it is here the operation of
the McAllister and Hayes street lines
seems assured by the end of the pres

The Sutter-street road will be run
ming within three weeks, provided that
enough workmen can be secured. At
the present time the tracks are laid
on the south side of the street as far
as Octavia. The old roadbed has been
torn up as far Fillmore street. The
workmen have experienced much diff
Guilty in operating along this route, for
the reason that the concrete is so
solidly packed in. A rock crusher will
probably be in action within the next
few days, and this will help to rush
the work along.
The Valencia-street line is practi-
cally complete, and as soon as the
wires can be strung the road will be
ready for cars.

association the courtesies which it

that we had our big sunburned ear

also heard the Little Boys Quar-

clear tones. We did not recognize

complacently looking for some
place to get out. The pig evident

the program had to be cut out,
and the large crowd had to content
itself with a lew races by single
skaters and couples. Perhaps if

string and dragged around the
rink the porker might at least have
been induced to strike a trot.
