.ELOPING WOMAN
FOUND IN RENO
Mrs. Albert Bulfinch Discovered
With Brother in Law in
Nevada City
Couple Arrested and Will Be
Held Pending Action of Oak
land Authorities
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


RENO, New, Oct. 31.-Mrs. A. S
Bulfinch was arrested here today by
Chief of Police Burke upon information
from Chief Wilson of Oakland. Mrs
BuIfnch and her brother in law ar
rived here yesterday morning and reg
istered last night as Mr.. and Mrs. C. b
Adams of New Orleans at the Overland
hotel. Mrs. BuIfnch is now at police
headquarters and he is keeping heI
company. An officer from Oakland will
arrive tomorrow morning. She refuses
to talk of the matter and he is likewise
silent. Her husband telephoned her
last night from Oakland, asking her
why she had gone away, and she re-
fused to answer him.
OAKLAND, Oct 31.-Mrs. Albert
Bulfinch of 699 Forty sixth street, who
disappeared last Monday morning, leav-
ing no trace of her whereabouts, was
located in Reno, New, this afternoon
by the police Of that city. She was iT
company with her brother in law, Mel
vim II. Bulfnch, with whom she had
eloped, taking the train with him from
Point Richmond.
When Albert Bulfinch, the woman's
husband, first reported the disappear
ance to the police he believed that his
wife mad eloped with his brother. He
changed his mind later and declared
that his wife had met with foul play
Since then he had sought the assistance
of the Oakland and Berkeley police, as
well as the officials of both Alameda
and Contra Costa county, to find her.
This morning Captain of Detectives
Petersen telephoned to Reno, where
Melvin Bulfinch had gone last Monday
and gave the police of that city the
details of the disappearance. The Reno
officers made a search of the city, and
this afternoon notified Captain Peter
sen that Mrs. Bulfinch and her brother
in law had been found together at a
hotel in the Nevada city.
Declaring that his wife is not in her
right mind because of a long Illness
from which she has suffered, the hus-
band left for Reno this evening to bring
his wife back to her home. Bulfinch is
certain that she does not know what
she is doing, and he is ready to forgive
her.
The apparent duplicity of Melvin
Bulfinch toward his brother is a pecu-
liar feature of the case. After visiting
at the latter's home in this city he went
to Point Richmond to take a train for
Reno. Mrs. Bulfinch accompanied him
to see him off. That was the last seen
of her in Oakland.
Albert Bulfinch received a letter from
his brother dated at Truckee, saying
that Mrs. Bulfinch looked i'll when he
left her at Point Richmond He said
that he was broke" and would ride a
freight to Reno. The husband then
sent word about the mystery of his
wife's disappearance. He received a
telegram from Melvin saying that if he
would send money for ticket he
would come back and help to look for
her.
The message from the Reno police
developed the fact that Melvin Bulfnch
was with his sister in law at the time.
He is - years old and the woman is %.
The young man, according to the po-
lice. bears a reputation as being rather
fast and fond of gambling.

ToDAY's BEST STORY.
A Funny Picture.

Secretary Wilson, OF the department
OF agriculture. concluded in Washing
ton recent address on agricultural
economy with an anecdote.
Il used to know a clergyman" he
said. who owned a fine farm. and ran
Ii on very economical lines. SO that
IL paid splendidly.
Sometimes, though, / am afraid
this good clergyman carried his econ
omies point or two TOO far.
Thus. as he was taking his usual
daily stroll over his rich broad acres
one morning. he saw plowman,
while the horses rested. sitting on the
handle OF his pillow. II occurred to
the minister that he paid this plow-
man ten cents an hour, besides board.
and he stopped and said, gently, but
reproachfully:
James, wouldn't IL be a good plan
for you to have a pair OF pruning
shears here and be cutting a few
bushes along the fence while the
horses are taking their short rest?"
James returned the minister's SER
icus gaze, and In the same gentle, yet
reproachful voice he answered:
Look here. sir. wouldn't IL be a
good plan for you to have tub OF
potatoes in the pulpit, and while
they're singing the hymns to peel EN-
for the pot?"
