2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 1895. SACRAMENTO GUESTS The Veterans Pass Review Before the Governor. in FIVE HUNDRED IN LINE Militiamen, Civic Societies, Officials and Civilians Escort Them. PRAISED BY THE EXECUTIVE. . Profuse in His Compliments for the Splendid Showing Made by the Warriors. SACRAMENTO, CarL., April 23.—The California and Nevada department of the Grand Army of the Republic have taken Sacramento by storm, and their triumph- ant parade this morning was the largest they have ever had upon the coast. Fully 500 grizzled veterans marched in a solid phalanx through the city, with the same old swinging march step so familiar to them in years gone by, when marching forward to meet a Southern foe. As the martial strains of the various bands reached the ears of the warriors, the present rolled away like a cloud before the south wind, the infirmities of age were forgotten and they were youths again, passing in review before their sweethearts, mothers and wives, before leaving for the front to combat the stern realities of war. Then followed visions of camp life, forays into the enemey’s lines, the shrill scream of the minie bullet, the hoarse roar of the battery and the sound of bursting shells. Again they stormed the walls of Fort Donaldson and faced death in all its hor- rors; and as they passed in review before the executive and his staff they seemed once more the victorious force that had carried some hard fought field and were returning with victory perched upon their shot-torn banners. The parade siarted from the corner of Tenth and L streets at 10:30 o’clock, and was headed by a platoon of police on foot. They were followed by General Tozer, the grand marshal, and his staff, consisting of O.P.Dodge, J. H. Davis, L. A. Jacox, A. D. Hurd, J. S. Becker, R. Lannert, G. H. Clark, C.Campbell, M. J. Gastman, W. H. Ambrose, H. Kimbrough, J. Broins, H. E. Arne and 8. Leake. Then came the Second Infantry Regiment of Sacramento and Auburn, a fine appearing body of young men, who bore themselves with the martial air of veterans. They were under the command of Colonel Guthrie, and did credit to his careful training and exacting discipline. Battery B followed, dis- mounted, and with drawn sabers following the Second came the Bersaglieri Guards, in all their martial plumage, accompanied by a vivandiere. This is probably the last appearance in parade of the independ- ent Italian company, as it is rumored that Governor Budd has decided not to allow them future privileges of this nature. The second division was headed by Stephen Hopkins. His aids were W. L. Mattlock, Luther Weber and W. Larkin. Governor Budd and his staff followed. His Excellency is a magnificent horseman and rides like a centaur. No amount of jump- ing and prancingon the part of his spirited animal seemed to disturb his saddle-seat. The equestrianism of his staff, however, was in marked contrast. Next came the Sons of Veterans' posts and carriages containing department offi- cers, members of the Women’s Relief Corps and Ladies of the Grand Army, and followed by a joyous band of youthful rep- resentatives irom the public schools. The third division, commanded by Mar- shal Harvie, with F. Lafferty, C. Nemetz and J. Ing as aids, was composed of the societies of Foresters, Native Bons, Red Men and the German civic societies of S8ac- ramento, who were under the command of F. Ruhstaller; F. C. Yoerk, A. Heilbron and F. Guenther, aids, The fourth division was under the com- mand of J. M. Henderson,, assisted by 1. Christy ard George B. Stock, and was composed of State officials, County Super- visors and officials, the Mayor and City Trustees, all in carriages. The review was over thirty minutesin passing a given point under rapid march. Governor Budd was profuse in his praise in speaking of the parade. He said that it was one of the largest, best arranged and best conducted affairs he had ever wit- nessed in the State, and that it did credit to the Grand Army of the Republic, the local National Guard and thie citizens of Sacramento. At to-day’s encampment reports were made by the various committees appointed on credentials, officers’ reports, council of administration and resolutions. The delegates to the next national en- campment recommended that hereafter no new posts be instituted except on recom- mendation of the council of administra- tion. It was also recommended that no per capita tax be levied on the members of the different soldiers’ homes. The depart- ment commander was authorized to ap- point an aid, with the title of mortuary register, to complete the mortuary record of the department. The time for settling the next meeting- place for the department encampment was made a special order for to-morrow. Two places are proposed, Santa Cruz and San Francisco, but it is doubtful if San Fran- cisco will ask for it. One hundred and twenty-three members, representing 37 corps, were present at to-day’s session’ of the Woman’'s Relief Corps. The committee on officers’ reports and other committees made their reports, and the session was consumed in discus- sions on various subjects of interest. The corps will proceed to the election of offi- cers to-morrow. The Bons of Veterans at their meeting appointed a committee on resolutions and one on constitution and revision of by- laws. They received a telegram of con- gratulation from Burgeon-General E. W. Young of Seattle and one from the G. A. R. To-morrow they will elect officers, CRAZED BY HIS INJURIES. A Man Run Over by a Wagon Becomes a Iaving Maniac. SACRAMENTO, Carn., April 23.—Wil- liam Coy, a teamster, while watering his horses near the Buffalo brewery, in this city, to-day, was kicked and knocked down by one of the animals. His fall frightened the other horses and they ran away, one of the wheels of the heavy farm wagon passing directly over Coy’s head, inflicting a severe scalp wound and other injuries that may result seriously. When Coy recovered consciousness he was a rav- ing maniac, and, despite the utmost en- ) deavors of two men to restrain him, ran headlong into a telegraph pole, again fall- ing unconscious to the ground. It "is thought he cannot recover his reason. sy TERMED A BUGUS REPUBLIC Clarence W. Ashford’s Denunciation of the Dole Government. NCOUVER, B. C., April 23.—The dvertiser will publish a lenghthy rom Clarence W. Ashford, who is now at San Francisco, regarding the deportation of Cranstoun, Muller and Johnstone from Hawaii. After denouncing the irregular constitu- tion of the court that tried the so-called rebels and the unfair trials accorded, Ash- ford dwells at some length on the manner adopted by the Government to obtain evidence to incriminate persons arrested. He then refutes the story circulated by the Dole Government that the three exiles were barely existing in Honolulu, stating that Cranstoun was so deeply invading the field of old-established houses in the flour and feed business that one of the large dealers employed him (Ashford) to see if he could not catch Cranstoun in the network of license laws and so force him out of business. This was just before his (Ashford’s) arrest. Ashford commends the course adopted by the exiles in suing the steamship com- pany, as they have no recourse against the Hawaiian Government, owing to the law passed that its courts shall not entertain suits for damages arising from any act of the Government itself, or any officer in suppression of the rebellion, As the steamship company was indemni- fied by the Government, Ashford predicts the ““bogus republic” will eventually have to foot the bilis. In conclusion Ashford expresses the hope that British, American and other foreign governments will speedily inquire into the cases of those who were deported or are still languishing in that ‘‘black hole of Calcutta” on the reef of Honolulu. SIS T END OF A FRESNO QUARREL. The Terry Block Rejected as the Site for High-School Building. FRESNO, CaL., April 23.—At a meeting of the recently elected Board of Education to-night all negotiations for the purchase of the Terry block as a site for the pro- posed $60,000 high-school buildng were ended. The question as to the location of the building has been a warmly contested one among the citizens of this city fora year or more and it was the chief issue upon which the members of the board iwere elected. Those opposed to the purchase of the Terry block on the ground that it is too far from the center of town carried the election by a large majority. The first meeting of the new board was held to- night and it was voted to build on another site. The Terry block belongs to Mrs. Sarah Althea Terry and owing to the changes in her guardian the title could not be cleared as soon as wished. — i NEAR KENNEWICK. KILLED A San Francisco Man Meets Death Un- der the Cars. TACOMA, Wasn., April 23.—A Ledger special from North Yakima says: Francis Lebahn, supposedly a represen- tative of the San Francisco Examiner, was killed by a passenger train near Kenne- wick on Monday morning, and brought to this city this morning by the Coroner. Lebahn hailed from San Francisco, but had lived in Seattle and Portland, in which city he leaves a widow, Sadie Lebahn, liv- ing on Morrison street. He was without money, 20 cents being all that was found on him. He had been writing up Ellens- burg for San Francisco papers evidently, as his pockets were full of notes about Kit- titas farms. Lebahn was a man 30 years of age, smooth shaven and very well dressed. His father, August Lebahn of Newark, N. J., telegraphed instructions to give the body a decent burial. et s Blaze at West Seattle. SEATTLE, Wasn., April23.—A fire in West Seattle last night destroyed Knights of Pythias Hall.

SANTA ROSA, Car., April 23.—The of- ficers think they have a strong case against Frank Reed, Frank Cummings and Otto Vogel, the three men arrested here on Sunday for knocking down and robbing a man named Smith. They were examined before a Justice and held for trial at the Superior Court. It is also believed that they were interested in a number of burg- laries committed in S8onoma County dur- ing the past few weeks, RIS The Royal Avthur Expected at Victoria. VICTORIA, B. C., April 23.—The rumor that the Royal Arthur, flagship of the British Pacific squadron, is to bombard Corinto, Nicaragua, is not credited in naval circles here. Officers of the Nymphe say they heard the same thing at San Francisco and laughed at it. The Royai Arthur is expected here shortly, orders having been received to hold her mail here. Capture of the Callahan Murderer. YREKA, Cavr., April 23.—~W. M. Null, the murderer of Henry Hayter at Calla- han, was captured by Deputy Sheriff Rad- ford at Etna this morning, and is now con- fined in the County Jail. ——— Sails From San Diego. BAN DIEGO, Car., April 23.—Therev- enue cutter Commodore Perry sailed this morning for 8an Francisco and Bering Sea. NATIONAL BSOLDIERS REUNION. Defenders of the Nation to Decide How They Will Vote, CALDWELL, Onro, April 23.—A call has been issued for a national soldiers’ re- union to be held here on June 14 and 15 next, and the political tone injected into the document by the National Committee, to the effect that the men who saved the Government should be a factor in its ad- ministration, and that the time had ar- rived when they should get together, formulate their principles and make their demands, has met with considerable oppo- sition. The National Committee gives out the following: “In response to letters from every quar- ter asking for the basis or plan of repre- sentation the following instructions are given: Every State is expected and re- quested to hold a State convention for itself on May 80 and choose its own dele- gates to the national reunion. Each State may send us as many as it deems proper, but no State shall have more or less than two votes in the convention, although all shall have a voice and be present at the proceedings, to the end that every State may have equal power to decide how the soldier vote of the Union shall be cast in 1896. This is the great and only object of the gathering — the orystallization and solidification of the soldier vote.” CARSON MINT CASE: John T. Jones Arraigned for the Alleged Theft. BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. Only Those Engaged in the Case Are Allowed to Be Present. HOW THE GOLD WAS STOLEN. Inspector Mason Descrlbes the Methods of Those Who Looted the Mint. CARSON, Ngv., April 23. — Commis- sioner Edwards this morning began the preliminary examination of John T. Jones, charged with a shortage of §75,000 in the melter and refiner’s department oi the Carson mint. The accused entered the courtroom with a smile on his fave and took a seat with his attorneys. General Clark was added to the Government forces as an attorney of record to assist the United States District Attorney in the prosecution. The proceedings were held behind closed doors, in accordance with the request of the defense. There were present Superin- tendent Adams, Melter and Refiner Har- ris, Warren Noteware and Detective Grant. Lawrence Elrod had been called as a wit- ness for the defense. Harrig, of the mint, had been called on as a witness for both sides. Detective Harris of the secret ser- vice was not present. He had been ex- pected in the morning with Piper, who had been arrested for stealing bullion. A large crowd was at the depot in the morn- ing to see him arrive with his prisoner, but he did not put in an appearance. ‘William Woodburn, who had a consulta- tion with Coffin in Reno a few daysago, was placed on record as an attorney for Jones, the accused. He had been retained some days ago by Heney, one of the ac- cused. United States Marshal Humphrey, De- tective Grant and Bailiff Sterns occupied the United States Marshal's rooms adjein- ing the courtroom. The doors were locked and the bailiff was instructed to allow no one in except those engaged in the case. Inspector Mason, the first witness for the Government, took the stand and stated that he had been connected with the mint service over forty years, and had been sent to Carson by the Government to in- vestigate the shortage. He gave a detailed description of the methods in vogue in the Government mints in refining and treating precious metals, the system of check in the mint and the inner workings of the coin- ing branch of the service. The description of the workings of the metals occupied the entire forenoon. The examination was resumed at 1 o'clock. The witness gave a detailed ac- count of how he had investigated the short- age by assaying every bar of bullion in the mint, several hundred in all. He found several bars which did not hold up to their recorded value, and also a counterfeit meit. The bars were brought over from the mint by the sergeant in an express wagon and placed in evidence as exhibit A. The testimony of Mr. Mason was supple- mented by innumerable figures, assays and files of the mint records, all of which were dry testimony, but necessary to lay the foundation of the Government’s case. General Clark, who conductea the exami- nation, went into the details very exhaust- ively. The witness had everything at his fingers’ ends, and was well fortified with figures and documents. An especially interesting statement brought out was the history of deposit 77. It came into the mint as a gold deposit and was entered in the gold book as gold deposit 77, but when assayed was 4833 fine. This being below the 500 limit of fineness, the gold number, 77, was crossed with a chisel, and it was transferred on the books as a silver deposit, No. 134, This was one of the bars that was tampered with in the melter and refiner’s room and melted over, but the parties who did it forgot to restamp it like the original. ‘When the bar appeared in its new form it was numbereu 134 like the original, but the 77 crossed with a chisel did not appear on the new bar, they having overlooked the fact that it had been changed from one class of bullion to another by reason of it having fallen below the standard of fine- ness. The bar had been remelted, part of the gold extracted and silver used to make up the actual weight. The bar came from the Standard mine at Bodie and was $20,000 short. This enabled Mason to definitely state that the tam- pering with that bar could only have been done with the knowledge of the melter and refiner or his assistants. The witness also swore that the stealing took place after the June clean-up of 1891 and before the June clean-up of 1894. On cross-examination the witness said that it was possible for the bar to have been tampered with outside the melting- room, but not probable. Court adjourned at 4:20, and the exami- nation of the witness will be resumed to- morrow morning. DIVORCE NOT NECESSARY. In Wisconsin « Woman Is Freed When Her Husband Gets a Life Sentence. MADISON, Wis., April 23.—By a de- cision of the Supreme Court handed down to-day the validity of the law which pro- vides that life imprisonment works abso- lute divorce without further legal prqceed- ings is established. The decision isina celebrated case against James Duket for infidelity. Duket married the wife of William French of Ashland, sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Calvin Steel, without the wife having procured a divorce from French. A few days later French secured a new trial in the SBupreme Court and had the judgment of conviction set aside. Thereupon Duket was arrested. The Supreme Court holds that French’s conviction worked absolute divorce and that the marriage of Duket and Mrs. French is valid. — - WASHINGTON'S INAUGURATION., The One Hundred and Siwth Anniver- sary to Be Suitably Celebrated.

The men have asked the employers to make the wages of a year ago and they have given the owners twenty-four hours to determine the matter. The latter declined to take the time, but decided to close at once. The, men refused to cool down the furnaces and the clerks and owners were obliged to do the work. The old wages gave the keepers §2 25 per day and they now receive $1 75. Other hands were paid proportionately. The owners claim when the old wages were paid iron was selling at $13 per ton. It now sells at $10. Fowta MAY LOSE THE CHARTER. Evidence of a Combination Between Bridge Companies. ST. LOUIS, Mo., April 28.—The Post- Dispatch announces that suits will soon be brought against the bridge company to secure the forfeiture of their charters and punish their officers for participating in an unlawful combination. The action in the courts will be based upon evidence of the existence of a pool, which has been brought out before the Illinois Senate Investigating Committee sitting in East St. Louis. Be- fore the committee adjourned Monday evi- dence was secured establishing the exist- ence of the combination between the two bridge companies and the Wiggins Ferry, and the advancement of rates in conse- quence thereof. gy HARRISON I8 HIS CHOICE. Governor Matthews of Indiana Comes Outas a Prophet. INDIANAPOLIS, Ixp., April 23.—Gov- ernor Matthews said that in his opinion as an outsider the signs point to the nomina- tion of Harrison next year as the Republi- can candidate for President. “Reed,” he said, *‘does not know where to jump on this question and McKinley is closely connected with another subject which will not cut much figure in the next compaign, Harrison has a better reputa- tion as a bimetallist and say what you please about his administration it was a safe and clean one, and from a Republican standpoint I don't know how you could ask a better.” MUST AWAIT THFIR TURN. Judges Will Not Immediately Try Indian Land Cases. Meanwhlle Winnebagoes Grow Very Restless, But an Outbreak Is Not Expected. OMAHA, Nesr,, April 23.—A special to the Bee from Lincoln says: It 1s consid- ered rather indefinite now when the Flour- noy Land Company’s and other injunc- tion suits relating to leasehold settlers on the Winnebago agency will come up in the Federal Court, or whether they will be heard in Lincoln or in Omaha. This after- noon District Attorney Sawyer appeared before Judges Dundy and Riner, sitting together, and asked that the cases be taken up and disposed of. He gaid that the situation on the reservation was serious, and that in his opinion something should be done at once in regard to it. Judge Dundy said that the cases were on the calendar and would not be taken up until reached in the regular order. When it was suggested that they were now down below every other case, Judge Dundy, with some warmth, assured him that so far as he was concerned personally no one who had a case in court at this time should be discriminated against on account of the Government or threats of Indian troubles. ‘When the cases were reached if any one was there to represent the two sides they would be tried, and not before. If attorneys wished to go up among the Indians instead of attending to their cases, then they must take chances on de- lay. The Judge said he would take up the call of the calendar where Judge Riner left it, and so soon as injunction cases were reached they would be tried. The matter was left with that understanding. Attorneys representing some 225 tenants on the land were in courtand were anxious for a hearing immediately. The case may not be tried for ten days. In the mean- time the Indians are restless, but no out- break is probable. e COLLIS 1S PERSECUTED. Says Enemies are Trying to Annoy Him. NEW YORK, N. Y., April 23.—C. P. Huntington, President of the Southern Pacific Railroad, received a number of let- ters from friends to-day containing ex- pressions of sympathy for his arrest. “This latest action,”” Huntington said, *‘is only one of many attacks made against me in the West since I assumed the presi- dency of the Southern Pacific Railway. “At that time and for some years before the road had been a political institution, but I stopped all the politics, and in doing 80 dropped a great many men from the payrolls who * were simply hangers-on, Ever since they have lost no chance to annoy me in every possible way.” Huntington was asked if he intended going West in the near future. “I am waiting only to see a gentleman expected here on Wednesday's. steamer,”” he re- plied. ‘“After transacting some business I have with him I shall start for California. That will probably be by the end of this week.” Huntington e Alonzo Whitman’s Forgeries. NEW YORK. N. U., April 23.—Alonzo ‘Whitman, who was arrested last Friday on information that he is wanted in San Fran- cisco for forgery, and who was committed to the Toombs to await examination to- day, is in further trouble. Sheriff McNeill of Danville, N. Y., came to the Tombs to- day with a warrant for Whitman’s arrest for an alleged forgery committed at that place. If Whitman is discharged on the San Francisco charge he will be rearrested. B S Identity of a Drowned Woman.

Mrs. Blair Killed Because She Had Renounced the Ex-Waiter. STABBED HIMSELF TEN TIMES. The Suicide’s Heart Plerced by Two Knife Thrusts—Wayward Career of His Victim. SAN JOSE, CarL., April 23. — Large crowds of the curious thronged the morgue to-day to gaze upon the bodies of Alice Blair, alias Annie Davis, and Albert An- derson, who stabbed her to the heart and then killed himself in the Hensley House shortly after midnight last night. At the autopsy held this morning it was shown that Anderson had plunged the knife twice in the woman's breast and once in her neck, and had then stabbed himself ten times, two of the thrusts piercing his heart, Young Anderson first met Alice Blair about a year and a half ago, while he was employed as a waiter in the Plaisance. They were very intimate until two months ago, when they quarreled. Since then An- derson had been trying to effect a recon- ciliation, but the woman would have noth- ing to do with him. Anderson went to her room last night determined to kill her and then end his own life. From the testimony introduced at the inquest to-day itis supposed that Ander- son went to the room and tried to getin. Being refused admittance, he broke a win- dow opening into the hall, when the woman became frightened, and opened the door. Leaving the window, he went around to the door, drew his revolver and fired three shots at her. One of the bullets lodged in the wall and the other two went through the window. His revolverrefused to work and he drew his dagger, and at- tacked the defenseless woman. Three times he plunged the blade into her body and then turned the weapon upon himself. Mrs. Biair ran down to the landlady’s room, screaming: “I am shot! I am shot! Anderson has killed me!” and then fell to the floor. A doctor was hastily sum- moned, but she expired before he arrived. Alice T. Blair, the murdered woman, came to San Jose about two yearsago, after she had deserted her husband in Woodland. She bad a weakness for tine dresses and jewelry, and, although pos- sessed of a good home, persisted in leading a wayward life. Several months ago her husband applied for a divorce and she allowed it to go by default. Mr. Blair, who is a prominent business man of Wood- land, did all in his power to turn the woman from the downward path she had chosen, but without avail. Asa last re- sort he sought the courts and obtained a separation. But little testimony was introduced at the inquest, and the jury brought in a verdict in accordance with the evidence. SHIPMENTS OF FRUIT AND WINE. A Falling Off in the Output During the Past Week. SAN JOSE, Car., April 23.—The eastern shipments for the week ending April 20 were light, but 1;000,735 pounds were sent out, as against 1,670,030 for the same period last year, a decrease of 669,295 pounds. The slow movement of dried fruit is the cause of the decrease and tendsto show that, although prices are good, the fruitis being held in anticipation of a raise. Dur- ing the week ending April 21,1804, the shipments of dried iruit amounted to 856, 720 pounds, while last week only 455,325 were shipped. It is estimated that the amount of dried fruit still in the valley is about 2,500,000 pounds, while at this time last year not more than 1,600,000 pounds remained, the whole of which went east during the latter part of Apriland the first of May. Wine shipments fell off 238,275 pounds, the shipments last week being 392,665, against 630,940 during the corresponding | week last year. The shipments of canned | fruit last week umounted to 84,470 pounds. Of the 455,325 pounds of dried fruit shipped | 287,485 were prunes, 106.575 peaches, 56,030 apricots, 3075 pears and 2160 plums. The | total shipments for the first three weeks of April were 3,821,405 pounds. Thelocal shipments on the narrow gauge | reached 855,710 pounds, being mostly mer-! chandise, fruit, produce, flour and mill-| stuffs. The same road handled 101,040 | pounds of eastbound fruit, most of the shipments being from Campbell Station. ROBBED BY AN EMPLOYE. A San Jose Printer Decamps With Stolen Funds. SAN JOSE, CarL., April 23.—Frank Kim- merly, a printer who has been employed by M. C. Harris in his job office, left town suddenly last week with about $50 belong- ing to his employer, which he had collected on outstanding bills. Kimmerly came here a year ago, and Harris gave him employment, Several weeks ago Harris took a trip to British Columbia, leaving Kimmerly and another young man in charge of the office. While i he was gone Kimmerly got hold of all the money he could and left a day or so before Harris’ return. Besides defrauding Harris he left numerous other creditors, his land- lady Josing $28. .

If your blood could always be rich and pure, full of the red corpuscles upon which its vitality depends, you would never be ‘weak, or Nervous! Boils, pimples, scrofula, salt rheum, would never trouble you. But our mode of living, shut in all winter in poorly ventilated homes and shops, depletes the blood and there is loss of appetite,and weakness. Hood’s Sarsa- parilla is the standard remedy for this condition. It purifies, vitalizes and enriches the blood, overcomes that tired feeling, builds up the nerves and gives perfect health.

Unless we incased her little hands she would tear patches of skin from her face and hands. We tried many doctors and many remedies and at last gave the case up as hopeless. But our daughter Cora tried Hood’s Sarsaparilla, to cure a scrofulous lump near the left breast which caused ber much pain and after taking 4 bottles it disappeared.

Fisher of this city is in San Francisco searching for the man who promised to marry her and then robbed her of $1500 shows that C. Cecil King and Harry K. Cavelle are one. Cavelle came here last September, presumably after correspond- ence with Mrs. Fisher, who owned prop- erty at 446 North Delaware street, and two small pieces in Haughville. He repre- sented to her that he was a wealthy Cali- fornian and wanted to trade fruit farms in the Golden State for city property here. She sent him to the Strouse & Fulenn agency. Mr. Strouse of that firm says that Cayelle, or H. C. King, as he then gave his name, gaid he had two farms, one near Los Angeles and one near Sacramento. He wanted to trade them for city property here and would pay any difference in price in cash. He said that Mrs. Fisher had re- ferred him to the agency. Some time after Mrs. Fisher asked Strouse to procure a loan of $1500 for her, as she wanted to send her two boys to school. The loan was made. After pay- ing the agent’s commission, a sewer assess- ment and some bills, Mrs. Fisher had $1300 leit. It was this money, if any, that she gave to Cavelle or King to “keep for | her.” After Cavelle got the money he left town. discovered what had been done, and was sick for seven weeks. While she wasill ghe received a letter from Cavelle, who signed the name of King, saying that he | had been called suddenly to Chicago and while there was sandbagged and robbed. He said the detectives had his jewels and that it would require $500 to ‘‘get them out.” Mrs. Fisher wanted to send the money, but Strouse advised her to have Cavelle arrested. Mrs. Fisher left for S8an Fran- cisco two months ago and has been there ever since. MEE S AFTER SEVERAL WEEKY ILLNESS. Death of Ex- United States Senator Wilson of Iowa.
