Died a Pauper.

Samnel Tetlow, who died a pauper recently In San Francisco, was one of the earlier settlers on the Pacific coast, and in the good old days of Frisco’s babyhood was known as “Prince Prodigal,” because of the facility with which he won and lost fortunes over the green baize. He built the old Bella Union Theater, having as a partner in Its management William Skaneantlebury, whom he shot to death during a quarrel. Tetlow was sentenced to death, but “social” Influence brought about his acquittal at a former trial. At one time he owned the property now known as Sntro Heights, which he sold to exMayor Sutro for $30,000.
