The old corners are all gone" re-
marked Wilson Mizner as he was driven
up through Powell and Eddy streets
early yesterday morning on his way
from the ferry, where he had arrived
on a delayed train from the East. He
said also:
1 have left Mrs. Mizner in Chicago.
where she had lot of business to
transact. and have come Gut here to
see my old home-that is, have come
to see what was left of it. / tell you
what, it makes me feel mighty blue
to see the wreck and ruins of the dear
old place Today as / walked down Van

great big tear. 1t fell with such a thud
on my foot that 1T sprained it and I
have been Hmping ever since
OF course the city will be built up
again, but il will never be the same
All the old landmarks are gone-never
to be replaced. Still 1 had rather live
of the great Eastern cities.
OF course l know know the people here
my marriage to Mrs. Yerkes. and they
have heard how we were separated
and how we came together again, and
all about the ferociens butler who
steps in New York. Now all these ru-
morS and reports are entirely without
foundation. We have never had any dis
made up by the fanciful mind OF some
one who wanted to make up a good
story. You know people like TO read
about money, and the bigger the sum
the more they like TO read about it.
and they especially like to read about
Il when there is some trouble or some
thing OF a sensational nature con-
nected with it. Now / suppose il must
have been this way with my marriage
to Mrs Yerkes- That is all the reason
| can see for the stories that have gone
floating around. There is absolutely
nothing in any of the reports about
and contention OF any kind between
my wife and myself We are just as
dear to each other as we were the day
we were married
There was one story that was pub
Hshed about my being robbed of a lot
of my jewelry; that is true. The rea-
son that that story came out was be-
cause / called the detectives 10 hunt
up the thief Most OF the articles taken
were oldtime keepsakes and valuable
to me accordingly.
tell you I am glad to get back here
again. and my right arm is nearly
in from shaking hands all day long
with my old friends here-friends
whom I am mighty glad to see again.
They give me the true California grip
and when they say they are ~glad TO
see YOU" why. they mean il That is
all there is to it.
l shall be here some time. but don't
/ doubt If Mrs. Mizner will come out
this summer.
Miner was attired in the height OF
New York fashion-light suit. straw
hat, soft light shirt and dainty diamond
scarfpin-ln fact, he looked the up-to-
date millionaire to the letter.
AS he walked up and down Fillmore
street last night his stalwart figure
and fastidious clothing caused him to
be much observed.
He has taken apartments at the Ma

This is Miners first visit 10 this city
since his marriage He spent the
greater part of yesterday with his
brothers. whom he had not seen since
he went to New York. and he also paid
a short visit to Benicfa TO visit some
OF the members OF his family living
there at the old Mizner home.
