HOW AND WHERE BOSS ABE
RUFF WAS FOUND BY POLICE

SAN FRANCISCO, March 9.-Abra-
ham Ruef slept last night at the ST.
Francis Hotel, with one guard watch
ing at the door of his room and an
other stationed outside his window.
Another brace of watchers were in an
adjoining room.
Abraham Ruef has been found. He
was dragged from his hiding place at
the Trocadero road-house last night by
Ellison William J. Buggy and Detective
William J. Burns and is now a pris-
oner under guard in a room in the St.
Francis Hotel. He will remain a pris-
oner in the custody of Ellison Buggy
pending the order of Superior Judge
Dunno.
The sheriff could not locate the miss
ing political boss, though Detective
Burns told him where he could be
found The Coroner, too, acknowledged
himself unequal to the task of finding
and arresting Ruef. It took Detective
Burns and w. J. Buggy a very short
time to do what the constituted exec
utive machinery of the court failed
to accomplish.

When taken into custody Ruef was

Good evening, gentlemen. Glad to

Detective Burns and Ellison Buggy step

he was in their custody. He submit
ted to arrest with smile and accom-
panied his captors in an automobile
to the office of Assistant District At
torney Francis J. Heney. Later he was
taken to the St. Francis Hotel, where
he was placed under guard, to be held
until summoned to court this morn
ing.
Since last Tuesday the shaded road
side retreat at Trocadero has served as
the hiding place for Ruef and his ad-
herent. Cert. This fact has been known
to Detective Burns, despite the secrecy
maintained by the attorneys and
friends of the political boss, and when
Judge Dunno yesterday disqualified
Sheriff O'Neil and Coroner Walsh and
appointed w. J. Buggy as elisor to

Buggy appeared from the darkness to
startle Landlord McPhail with the
words:
ABE Ruef and his man Myrtle Cert
are here and we are here to arrest
him.
The landlord hesitated a moment,
looked furtively from side to side, and
then said:
II have two guests here. 1 do not
know who they are"
I'VE want those two guests" said
Detective Burns and to convince Nc
Phail he was shown the documents
giving w. J. Buggy authority to ar
rest and bring Abraham Ruef into
court.
The Japanese boy was instructed to
lead Burns to the room occupied by
the two unknown guests" The way
led upstairs to a bedroom in the far
corner of the house. Buggy and Burns
were followed close by James Foley
who is in the employ of the detective
A knock at the door brought the query
from the inside:
who is there?"
It's me, joe" answered the Japa-
nese boy.
CERT SHOWS FIGHT.
The bolt shot back, the door opened
slightly and the face of Myrtle Cert
peered out. In an instant he saw who
the real visitors were and he made a
quick move to shut the door. But the
foot of Detective Burns was against
the panel and the shoulder of w. J.
Buggy was pressing inward. Cert
struggled to hold the door, but he was
forced backward. He made a move as
if to strike, but his arms were pinion-
ed to his sides by W. J. Buggy and he
was wrestled into a chair where he
wilted and promised to be good.
Ruef and his henchman were inter-
rupted just at the conclusion OF their
dinner. The political boss did not ask
how he had been located. He assumed
an air of jovialty, though his crest
fallen appearance belied his words and
tone. He was given time to don his
overcoat, and was then escorted to the
waiting automobile.
