CLERK FINDS
HIS LOST
IDENTITY
r —
Recovers Memory of Home
! and Child After Wandering
for Nine Months
Mrs C. H. Mikelsen of San Fran
cisco and her little daughter today
are confronted With a problem of dual
personality imposed upon them Sat
urday night, when Christian Henry
Mikelsen, the husband and father, re-
I 6to them, after wandering about
the country nine months.
.'-likelsen. a clerk in the stove estab
lishment of W. F. Boardman, 718 Mis
sion street, drew his salary last Val
entine's day. He planned to purchase
an indoor swing for his daughter.
Then he met with a mishap which
robbed him of his individuality. He
suddenly became "Henry Marvin." In
this gnise he set forth upon his trav
els His family gave him up for lost,
after unsuoeessful police search. The
mother sought employment.
In the mentime "Henry Marvin"
wandered from place to place. At
times the cloud on his mind lifted and
he became dimly conscious of his pre
dicament. The other identity always
yon out, however.
Last Tuesday in Galveston. Tex..
"Henry Marvin" cast his eyes on sev
eral deep water ships. Then his glance
fell tipon "Henry Mikelsen" tattooed
oii his forearm. In a state of bewil
derment he boarded a train for Oak
land. Alighting at the Sixteenth street
depot, he telephoned to the home of a
friend, Mrs. S. Borkheim. 1705 Stuart
street, where his wife was staying.
"This is Mike. I am at the Six
teenth street depot. Come and get
me."
It took some time for him to recog
nize his wife. At intervals the per
sonality of "Henry Marvin" threatens
to overwhelm Christian Mikelsen. To
day he will see his baby. With this
Mrs. Mikelsen expects to rout
"Henry Marvin."

Esther and Frances were sitting in
the grandstand at the football game
Thousands of peopie were passing % in
front of them, when Esther saw Edith
and Edward in the crowd, Kdith had
on a new one piece wool dress, and,
with her chrysanthemums, she was a
picture that was certainly Kood to
look at. It was no wonder that
Esther's curiosity was aroused.
"That." answered Frances, "is one
of CHURRYS latest .specials, and I
know that she would kill me if she
knew that. 1 told you that it only cost
J8.50. CKERRYS are having a special
sale of these one piece dresses, and
now that I have seen Edith's I am
going down tomorrow to buy one. If
you need a suit, dress or overcoat,
you had better come down with me,
because 1 know that you will go
crazy over their bargains. Another
thing that greatly appeals to me is
their liberal credit system ; just a small
deposit and then so much a week or
month, as you find convenient."

Bishop Denies He Is
Husband of Actress
Allen Bishop, youngest son of Fran
cis A. Bishop of this city, denied most
emphatically this morning that he
had been secretly married to Miss

just as strongly that he was even en
gaged.
"Why, this is a complete surprise
to me," declared Bishop.
Miss Outtrim is with the Sullivan

in Texas. Bishop is living with his
mother, Mrs. Lucy Bishop, at the
Marymount hotel, Jones and O'Farrell
streets.
Do your duty tomorrow, citizens.
Cast your ballot on the way down
