MILLIONAIRE ON

Mining Man Takes $33,000 and
Partner Asks Police for Em

W. B. Moylan Elopes With Girl
After Short Courtship and
Abandons Cafe
John A. Madden Fails to Gain
A*d of Authorities to Re*
cover His Bankroll
W. B. Moylan, millionaire mining
roan and contractor from Mexico, is
speeding to New Orleans as fast as
steam can carry him, and with him is
May Taylor, a pretty chambermaid,
formerly employed at the Grand hoteL
Before departing mysteriously yester
day afternoon, Moylan is accused by
his business -partner, John A. Madden,
a well known hotelman, of drawing
out $38,000 of their joint account from
the \Vestem national bank. Madden
attempted, to secure a warrant for
Sloylaii's arrest, but -was unablo to do
so for-the. reason ifcat they were busi
•\u25a0 IWylan; met the fair chamberjeaid
bnlj.- a. tew days a»:o and immediately
became snjltten Tvith her charms. He
negiectedi his business interests and
forsook bis friends for the charmer.
Three; days ago lie persuaded her to
lecqp Ji'er" position- He bought her dia
monds "and fine dresses and wined and
dined -her like a princess.
iOjorn.ME.vr is planned
Thit Moylan carefully planned the
elopement is shown by the manner in
which he left j his apartments at the
Hotel' Van Dorn \u25a0in Turk street. Thurs
day afternoon; he stole quietly up to
bis room, packed all his effects and
\u25a0hipped -liem "to the- ferry depjot-^ A
few hours later he -purchased tickets
for New Orleans for John Moyles and
wifev
Moylan and Madden were Joint part
ners-in the new Cafe Madden under
the Hotel Van Doriu. The men had in
vested about $50,000 In the place and
planned to -open it early next month".
Moylan, according to Madden, agreed to
share half the expense and he kept his
word. Madden believes that the man
is , either mentally unbalanced or is
playing a double game, for his loss in
the new -cafe, will "be nearly J25.000 if
lie does pot come back and attend to
buriuerti. jfcli
"iloylan "drew $28,000 from the
Western national bank which we had
on Joint deposit," declared Madden last
night. "He was most cautious in his
movements/ drawing the money out a
few hundred dollars at a time for many
days and concluding by drawing out
more than* half the amount Thursday.
I iid'not discover this till he had left.
I ,aad known him for a great many
3-ca.rs and trusted him, so when I
learned - that r he had left town with
a. chamber in aid I. was thunderstruck.
FAILS TO GET WARRANT
.*3 attempted. to secure a warrant for
M"oylan.'s arfest, but could not for the
refcson '- that .we were partners In the
new, yenture. We had the contracts
for the furnishings of our cafe let and
Intended to open early next month.
Among 'the large firms whom we. have
paid are the Brunswick-Balke com
pany, f W.000; Wlttman-Lyxnan & Co.,
$ I.o l>o;. Nathan, Dohrmann & Co., $3,000,
and several others. I intend to open
the- business on the original date, but
In the meantime I would like to inter
cept Moylan and make him render me
an 'accounting for that $19,000 of mine
•u-hiqh he drew out of the "Western na
tional bank." .
-Moylan arrived in thiv city from
Mexico about six . months ago and
caused a sensation by his lavish ex
penditure of money along the tender
loin.. He, is reputed to be worth $2,000,
000, ji-hich he made in the mining and
contracting business with his brother,
jI'J. Moylan, near the City" of Mexico.
The woman -in the case had been em
ployed at" the Grand hotel but a few
days when Madden became infatuated
with, her. She is about 22 years of age
and a striking blonde. It is said that
Eh% recently was divorced from her
husband. »
Madden is one of the best known
hotelmen in the city. For years li<» v.-as
the head steward and buyer at the, Pa
lace hotel "and later was.* employed at.
the St. Francis.

- Another year will bring in the semi
centennial anniversary of the discov
ery of the Corns tock lode. It isn't
likely to be a jubilee. If the occasion
is observed at all by the handful now
constituting the citizenship of Virginia
City, and Gold Hill it will be a day
of mournful memory for departed
\u25a0glories; of sorrow for the passing of
the-: bonanza years when 30.000 men
assisted in the production of $5,000,
000 from t* - greatest group* of mines
on earth ar.d shared in the making of
monster fortunes.
It was in the old days that every
man had a chance; that tba miner of
today; ivas'the millionaire of, tomorrow;
that Individuals and coteries and com*
panics- filled th««ir coffers from the
riches ;of, claims no larger than a city
lot, and iin>their : eagerness, to acquire
j more riches engaged In unceasing con
\u25a0j flict" in" the - court 3 for the ownership
of - property.'^

sinecures and the employment of a few
miners to "show progress" In the \u25a0week

was the daily shipment of bullion" by
