The people la the vicinity of Twenty-first and Cumlng streets , together with a few ad ditional individuals , have found a choice bit of scandal , prolific of gotslp. in the almost simultaneous disappearance of John John son , a saloon keeper at 2101 Cuming street , and Mrs. Mlna Clausen , who has been the buxom proprietress of a restaurant two doors west of John's place of business. "I believe that they have eloped. " said a friend of both yesterday morning , shaking his head. "They have been very good friends and I think that their departure at the tame time Is more than a coincidence. " Johnson has been the head of a family which consists of a wife and five small chil dren. He runs the saloon at Twenty-first and Cumins streets and is reputed to own the property without encumbrance. Mrs. Clausen Is a widow , without children , and ran the restaurant for some time past. Last Friday she left. She employed-a woman to take charge of the place and run it on the money that came In. It Is said that she pur chased a ticket to some point near Salt Lake , although it was understood that she was going to visit friends in Colorado. "If I am not back In a week. " Mrs. Clausen told the friend to whom she turned over the establishment , "this place Is yours. " The week has expired and Mrs. Clausen has not returned. Johnson left on the Fourth of July. Some days prior thereto be sent bis family into the country to spend the holiday on his brother's farm. He was expected on the Fourth to take part In the celebration , but did not put in an appearance. On Wednes day the brother came to the city to discover the reason ot his absence and learned that Johnson had not been seen since last .Satur day. He reported the fact to the wife and the latter came to the city Thursday. One very significant- which leads to the belief that Johnson eloped Is that when his wife searched their joint wardrobe she discovered that be bad taken all of his clothing. Before that she believed that be had gone away on some trip , but when she found bU wardrobe gone she reached the conclusion that be intended to stay a long time. The family and friends , how ever , are hoping almost against hop * that he will come back and intend to put in the next few days in an investigation. Johnbon left some 175 behind him , al though it Is said that he overdrew his bank account. His wife , however , is in pouezsioo of the saloon and property upon which It is located. She also has a ( arm near 'he city. FIGVIUXO O.V A CITY JAIL. Cltr Council Will Con.lder the rrtii'okltlou Today.

" City Treasurer Edwards said the city .had no money on deposit in the German bank. but the Police Relief association had J3.222.27 In that Institution. o WOHIC OF A GIAXT FIIinCnACICEIl. roar 111 of July Ai-cldeut Cuti < * Fred IlnrLrr'i.
