PETS MOURN OVER
MASTERS ABSENCE
F. L. Peck, Rio Grande EN-
ployee, Not Seen Since
Quitting Hotel Friday.

The police have yet another mysteri-
rather on their minds. Detectives are
looking for F. J.. Peck, railroad man
who arrived here from Shnfter, New.
Thursday, and who, Friday morning,
disappeared from the Pacific hotel on
Rio Grande avenue, after announcing
mis- intention to visit bank to de-
post 500 which he was carrying.
Peck has not been seen since. The
police suspect that the missing man may
have met with foul play at the hands
of persons who coveted his money, the
savings of many months wages as q
stationary engineer at Shafter.
The failure of Peck to appear Mt the
hotel yesterday aroused the suspicious
of ". NJ, Ferris, proprietor of the Pa
citic bar, He called up Detective George
4. Cleveland at police headquarters and
told him Of his fears, Detectives Cleve-
land and Seager were detailed TO in
vestIgate. They secured good de-
scription OF the man, but UP 10 an early
hour this morning nothing had been
found Of him. It is not known whether
or not Peck visited bank and depos-
tied the money that he was known to
have in his possession. Should he not
have dope so, the possibility of his hav-
ing been robbed would be strong
working clew for the police in solving
his disappearance.
In the meantime, a fox terrier dog
and baby coyote, brought from Shat
ter. New, by Mr.. Peck, are quartered in
the Pacific hotel barroom. The dog
waits with an air Of patience for the
return of her master and the little waif
of the desert growls suspiciously at the
smell of many strange men.

Mr.. Burton and his assistant took

missed the matter curtly. He was talk

porter ventured another question.
W. w. Little, the ASSISTANT city at

case in police court, last night said he
did not care TO be quoted until after
he had seen what Mr.. Lund had to cav.
adding that there was some doubt as TO
whether he would have anything to say
even then.
There was no chance 10 get a con.
viction on the charge Mr.. Lund brought
against the Boston building people. I"
said Mr.. Little. "All the evidence I
could get hold OF showed that the
changing OF thin partition to suit the
wishes OF tenant amounted 10 no more
than the changing Of a screen would
have amounted to. Nothing in violation
