GROCER BUNKOED BY A
DANCE HALL WAITRESS
Ollie Saxton Arrested on Conn
plant of Angelo Copan

Angelo Copan's dream of love has
vanished suddenly, and as he is smart
ing under the deception practiced upon
him he swore out warrant Yesterday
for. the arrest of Ollie Saxton, a
waitress in the Thalia dance hall in
Pacific street, on a charge of grand
larceny by trick and device. Ollie
was arrested by Detectives Riordan and
Balletto and locked up in the city
prison.
Copan, who is a grocer and saloon
keeper at 729 Harrison street. met Ollie
in the dance hall about a week ago, and
with him it was a case of love at first
sight. He proposed marriage and
Ollie was agreeable, but suggested that
Copan provide her with suitable cos
tune for the wedding ceremony
Copan paid $65 for complete outfit
for Ollie, who made the further sug-
gestion that an engagement ring was
the proper thing and Copan bought a
diamond ring for SIS and presented 1t
to her. Then Ollie disappeared from
the dance hall for four days and nights
and when she returned and Copan
wanted to know when the wedding
bells would ring she laughed at him,
calling him a boob"
Copan notified the police and Detec-
tives Riordan and Balletto discovered
Ollie living with M. A. Silver, a con-
ductor of the United Railroads, at 572
Eddy street. She had presented the
diamond ring to Silver, who turned it
over to the detectives yesterday.

Another writer of note has been cspti-

Herbert Kaufman, contributor to the
magazines and the editorial columns of a
chain of newspapers. He has found out
in the broad country between the Mis-
sissippi and the Pacific the spirit of a
new America. He has swung through
the stretches of awakening prairie and
has seen a sturdy race of pioneers build
ing for today, tomorrow and the days
to come.
They mix brains with their sOil,'' is
the terse way be puts it.
Kaufman will spend a few days in San
Francisco, and will then extend his re-
searches into Nevada and Utah. He is
virile writer, and has made brilliant the
pages Of the best known American Pc
riOdicals. Here are his impressions of
the new country:

decided tribute to two very powerful
forces which are doing most in the ex-

building of the new cities. The rail-

more paternal than those of the gov
eminent in opening up new territories;
educating the people to believe in
themselves and in their possessions
Without the colonization work of the
western lines and their own conf
dence in the certainly of returns most
of the new centers would still be cat

knew that the trade would come if
the improvements were made; and if
the railroad promoters had possessed

seemed to possess, instead of one

Portland. san Francisco and San Diego

meeting New York and New Orleans

These two lines would. of course. use
the Panama railroad for transship-
