"Missing -- Peter Dolan, who has been residing at Corte Madera for the past ten or twelve years, has been missing since the 28th ultimo, and fears are entertained that he has been drowned. It appears that on the night of the date above mentioned he was at the drinking saloon of George Borrosey at Ross' Landing in a state of extreme intoxication, and was put out of the house about midnight in the company with one or two others, since which time nothing has been heard of him. His hat was found near the bridge at the Landing, and his horse tied to a fence close by. It is supposed that after leaving Borrosey's he attempted to cross the bridge and fell into the creek and was drowned. Search has been made for the body but no trace of it has been found."
