3 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1896. ) SN DD WIDOW'S LUEK Marries Her First Love and a Fortune Down in Chile. SYNOPSIS OF THE STORY As a Fickle Maiden, Just for Spite, She Wedded the Wrong Man. THE DISTRACTED LOVER'S VOW The Meeting at Valparaiso—Explana- tions, Forgiveness and a Bliss- ful Union. SAN DIEGO, CArn., March 19. — Last October Mrs. G. Franze, who had been connected with the Coronado Laundry, left for Valparaiso, Chile, in company with her sister and the latter’s husband, who is in the oil business there. Mrs. Franze in- tended to make her home in Chile, but her friends were unprepared to learn of the pretty romance that occurred upon her ar- rival in that far-off country. A letter from the lady, who is now Mrs. Mason, gives an inkling of the story. It appears that nineteen years ago Mrs. Franze, who was then a pretty and buxom young woman, suddenly changed her mind, as maidens do, and married the gentleman she was not expected to marry. This was Franze. The disap- pointed lover—Mason—was so affected that he swore he would nevery marry nor re- turn to his old home. He kepr his vow 10 the letter. He went to Chile and accumu- lated a competency. He learnad “some montks ago that M Franze was a widow, her husband having died some years ago. Mason learned her address and found that she was in poor circumstances, earning her living by hard work at the Coronado Laun- dry. He renewed his offer of nineteen years before and Mrs. Franze accepted him. He sent her money and she sailed from San Francisco October 21 on the steamer San Jose. On December 18 last they met, when Mrs. Franze stepped off the steamer Are- quipa at Valparaiso. Mr. Mason knew her at a glance and greeted her with a warmth that was excusable under the circum- stances. Mrs. Franze did not recognize him at first, as his hair was white, though his face did not show age. Mrs. Mason's own words appropriately say what further happened : “I arrived in Valparaiso at 3 ». ., and before 4 o’clock I was his wife, as the min- ister and party were awaiting my coming. We remained in Valparaiso six days and then sailed for Talcahuano. On arriving there a large party met us and welcomed me to Chile. The house was all decorated with beautiful flowers, and the servants also welcomed me to my new home. Mr. Mason is so happy now. Isn’t this true, love? 1 am happy, too, to think that I have righted the wrong Idid him nineteen years a8go.” NOTES FAOM PALD ALTO A Splendid Game of Baseball Between Stanford and Santa Ana College Nines. Lange’s Coaching Counts—The Spring Vacation — Basket-Ball Team Practicing Daily. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Car, March 19.—The game of baseball here this afterncon between the Stanford and Santa Ana College nine was one of the prettiest games ever played on the campus. Stan- ford plainly showed the benetit of Lange’s coaching and outplayed the visitors at most points. The infield played strong end the fact that but one basehit was made off McLaine’s delivery speaks almost as highly for the infielders as for the pitcher. Jeffs caught well and batted in good shape. For the visitors XKuster, Steffani and Graham did noticeable work. The men and their positions on the diamond were as follows: Eanta Clara. Position. Stanford. The score ended 5 to 0 in Stanford’s fa- vor. Special interest was taken in this game, inasmuch as it indicated about the final selection of the Varsity nine. As the team played to-day they will probably play against Berkeley. There may be a couple of changes, but certainly not more « than that. % % # The short spring vacation begins to- morrow at noon and lasts one week. Most of the students will remain here during the intermission, as the time is too shori to permit of any extended trips home. The track and baseball men will continue their regular practice each day, and there may be some interesting athletic events held during the recess. £ The basket-ball team is practicing regu- larly, and Captain McCray says that her team will be ready to play Berkeley early in April. None of the players ever thought of such a thing as_playing before a mixed audience and would have rejected such a proposition had Berkeley made it. Tlie utmost friendliness has marked all nego- tiations between the officials of the rival teams and the games will probably be played in_San Frantisco. No one but women will be allowed to witness the game. MOCK VS. SANTA ROSA. Testing the Validity of the New Water Works Contract. SANTA ROSA, CaL., March 19.—The famous case of Mock vs. Sznta Rosa, to test the validity of the contract under which the new water works were con- structed, has’ been on m'nl here all day to-day. Attorney Goodwin has been on the stand most of the day. Half a dozen spectators and twice as many lawye'rs were greatly edified by the numerous tilts be- tween the lawyer-witness and Attorney Lynch. The only sensation of to-day in ihis very sensational litigation was that of Attorney Lynch demanding a bench war- Tant for the arrest of Conuractor Perkins, which the Judge refused to issue. After Lawyer Goodwin had finished a _rigid cross-examination of himself Mayor Wood- ward occupied the stand until adjourn- ment. The case will be continued to-mor- TOW. PR e FATE OF A MEXICAN GIEL. Supposed to Have Been Murdered by Her Tucson Employer. TUCSON, Arrz., March 19.—Sarons, & lime-burner, brought word to Tucson of the finding of the remains of a woman near the Tucson Mountains last night. To-day the Coroner, with a party, left for the place described by Sarona, about ten miles west of town, and in an isolated spot came upon the scattered remains of a fe- male. They found pieces of a dress, a pocket-book containing two half dollars and various trinkets. They brought the remains are articles with them, and upon being placed on exhibition the clothing was identified as that of Joaquina, & Mexi- can girl, wno worked for one Zapeda, & Mexican baker, last fall. The .mutena.l of the apparel and the articles, including a bloody towel, were the means of heriden- tification. Joaquina disappeared last August, after baving a quarrel with her employer, who bad previously beat her unmercifully. The supposition is that she was murdered and taken to this isolated spot, there to let the coyotes feast over her remains, by her late employer. o strengthen this suppo- sition a short time after her diupésearance Zapeda sold out his business and left un- der peculiar circumstances. He said he was going to Bisbee, Ariz., but did not go there and has not been heard of since. An inquest will be held on the remains to- morrow. If the suspicion now held is sus- tained a vigorous hunt will be begun for the missing baker. s OREGON POPULISTS. Multnomah County Selects Delegates to E the State Convention.

Phillips of San Francisco was arrested in this city last night by Detective Anderson on & charge of embezzlement preferred by Josepn Langenderfer, the publisher of the Sporting World in San Francisco. Phillips was employed as a collector by Langen- derfer and he is accused of appropriating $35 to his own use. Langenderfer was in this city at the time the arrest was made and after Phillips bad explained his ab- sence from San Francisco satisfactorily he expressed his willingriess to have the com- plaint dismissed. Phillips admitted hav- ing the money, but explained his failure to turn it 1n to his being called here by his mother’s illness. Phillips was taken to San Francisco by Detective Anthony this afternoon. —_——— Held to Answer. SAN JOSE, Car., March 19.—August Halberstadt, alias George Miller, the high- wayman who held up Charles Berryman on the Los Gatos road on February 20, and who was subsequently arrested and at- tempted to kill Officer Monroe in making his escape, was examined before Justice Gass this morning on a charge of assault to murder and held to answer in $5000 bonds.

JFER ATRUNNT HUSBAND Mrs. Frankie Putnam of Los Angeles Is Heartlessly Deserted. Should She Fail to Find the Run- away She Threatens to Kill Herself. LOS ANGELES, CaL., March 19.—Mrs. Frankie E. Putuam is missing from the city, and the pathetic letter which she left behind her causes fear that she may kill herseif. Several days ago Mrs. Putnam expected her husband, Charles Putnam, from Tucson. On the appointed day he failed to come. Nearly a week afterward a croel letter came from him in San Fiancisco stating that he was done with her forever and that he intended shipping to Alaska. Immediately she went to Chief of Police Glass and with tears related her story. ‘When she was informed that the potice could not act in the matter she was over- come with disappointment. This morning J. D. Steele found a letter in his furniture-store at 257 South Main street, where Mrs. Putnam had been yes- terday to sell some of her household goods to get money to pay her fare north. The letter is addressed to Mrs. Wood and in it she says that she walked all the previous night without sleep or food. She fl going to find her husband, she says, and if she fails in that she will kill herself. She has urchased laudanum for that purpose. I1“he unfortunate woman left for San Fran- cisco on the mnoon train yesterday, and unless she finds her husband or the au- thorities interfere the next that is heard of ner will be her death, TAMALPAS O 15 ERONEL Maurice Windmiller of Mill Valley Secures an Injunction. FORCED TO STOP WORK. The Fight for Possession of the Road Taken to the Courts. A MEETING OF DIRECTORS. The Purchase of a Right of Way Through the Lands of J. H. McInnes Is Confirmed. MILL VALLEY, CAn, March 19.—An injunction was served upon Sidney B. Cushing, president of the Mill Valley and Mount Tamalpais Railroad, and Superin- tendent Graves of the California Construc- tion Company this afternoon, restraining them from laying tracks or ties on either Corte Madera or Blythedale avenues at this place. The injunction proceedings were insti- tuted at the instance of Maurice Wind- miller, a property-owner on Corte Madera avenue and a member of the Mill Valley Property-owners’ Association. The papersin the injunction suit were filed with County Clerk Bennean at San Rafael about noon to-day. A temporary injunction was issued by Judge Angelotti and the papers were im- mediately sent to Mill Valley, where they were served by Deputy Constable E. E. Gray. If the papers had been served half an hour later the road would have been completely constructed. This morning the California Construc- tion Company put a force of about 100 men at work grading Corte Madera and Blythe- dale avenues and hauling rails and ties onto theroads for the construction of the rail- road. At 12 o'clock this force was in- creased and all possible haste was made to rush the road through before any legal means were resorted to in order to stop them. When the injunction papers ar- rived the ties were being put in place to receive the railsand a short delay would have been fatal to the interests of the peo- ple. Mr. Windmiller in his complaint for an injunction alleges that he has been, for over three years, the owner of a free right of way over all avenues, streets, etc., in Mill Valley; that the streéts or roads have never been dedicated to the public for use or otherwise and that the same are not nor have ever been subject to the control of a municipal corporation, but have been sub- ject to the absolute and exclusive control of the owners of land. The complaint further alleges that the Mill Valley and Mount Tamalpais Scenic Railroad and the California Construction Company, absolutely without any permis- sion whatsoever from any party, person or board, threaten to and are proceeding to build and construct aleng and upon Corte Madera avenue a steam and electric rail- way, and threaten to make excavations and embankments, and that if this is done the avenues will be rendered almost wholly impassable for vehicles and will in- terfere with the use of plaintiff’s property, besides greatly depreciate the value of the property. On the undertaking for the injunction are the names of George T. Marsh and M. M. O'Shaughnessy, both wealthy men and members of the Mill Valley Property-own- ers’ Protective Association. ‘Judge Angelotti set the 24th day of this month as the time for the hearing of the order to show cause why the injunction should not issue as prayed for in Mr., ‘Windmj)ler's complaint. A meeting of the directors of the Moun- tain Road Company was held yesterday, and the only important business trans- acted was the ordering of the purchase of the right of way through the lands of J. H. McInnes, as told in yesterday’s dis- patches to THE CALL. “The mountain road is now effectually blocked,” said a member of the protective association to-day, ‘“‘and the only way out of the difficulty fer them is to give up the 1dea of running its track on Corte Madera avenue. We do not intend to allow them to proceed, and seven other injunction suits will be filed by different parties owning property on Corte Madera avenue if it is found necessary. The rail- road company did not consult the people before going ahead, and the result is going to be disastrous for them.” E. Moffat, an owner of Corte Madera avenue property, said to-day that he had no objection to the mountain road cross- ing the avenue, bat if it intended to run for any length upon it as the line was now mapped out he would file a suit restrain- ing them upon his own account. Corte Madera avenue is considered one of the prettiest drives in Mill Valley, and along its route are the homes of Prison Commissioner Daniel E. Hayes, J. Costi- gan, H. 8. Bridge, George Billings, Wil- liam Harrold and other well-known busi- ness men of San Francisco. Allare de- cidedly against having the road run upon the avenue, even for the short distance of 300 yards, as the plans are now. About a month ago the attention of the mountain road people was called to the fact that the people would not submit to their occupation of the roads, but repre- sentatives of the land and water company asserted that the title to the roads rested in them, and they could do with them as they saw fit. This outburst aroused a feeling of indignation on the part of the people, and it was agreed to fight any at- tempt on the part of the railroad to ‘gain possession of the roads. If the injunction is refused by Judge A ngelotti next Tuesday then the railroad and the construction company will sue the bondsmen on the under&kinx for the injunction for damages on account of de- laying the building of the road. hile the people of Mill Valley are heartily in favor of the mountain-road project they object to having their roads ruined and have %o(m.ed out to the build- ers of the road how they can run their line a few hundred yards to the east uand avoid the avenue entirely. This will have 10 be done if the railroad is to be in run- ning order by this summer, for injunction and damage suits filed one after another will throw the road into such a hopeless mass of litigation .that it will take years before it is all over. Railroaded to San Quentin. MERCED, CaL., March 19.—Frank Will- iams, a brakebeam tourist, was arrested at Los Banos Monday for breaking into the rallroad section-house at that place and stealing a pistol and other property. He was brought to the county vesterday, and on his request was taken before Judge Law and pleen(}!ed guilty to the crime of burg- lary.” He was given nine months at San Quentin. R PORT TOWNSEND NEWS, Indian Sealing Vessels Confiscated—Im- portant to Mariners. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasn., March 19.— Last season the Indian schooners Puritan and C. C. Perkins were seized by the au- thorities for an alleged violation of the treasury laws, requiring a special license to all vessels engaged in the sealing busi- ness. The Indians made a great protect at the time, but their efforis availed them not. Judge Hanford sustained the con- demnation proceedings and has ordered the two little vessels confiscated to the Government, to be sold by the United States Marshal at such time as the Secre- tary of the Treasury may direct. ?Ele Puritan and Perkins constitute a part of the fleet of schooners owned by the natives residing on the United States reservation at Neah Bay, and are the prin- cipal source of income through which some of them have amassed no small for- tunes. The Puritan, which, by the way, is a first-class schooner in .every particu- lar, is owned by one of the natives glory- ing in the name of Schuyler Colfax, while the Perkins is the property of Lighthouse Jim, one of the most notorious scoundrels that ever cut the throat of a shipwrecked sailor or robbed the body of one who died through exposure. A tug from Cafie Flattery this evenin reports the Neah Bay whistling buoy sun. and that the Dungeness buoy is two miles east from her designated position on the chart. Both are material aids to Puget Sound shipping, and masters of vessels will do well to note the above. THOUGHT TO BE TASCOTT, Millionaire Snell’s Mutderer or His Double Seen in the Yukon Country. He Cleaned Up About $100,000 in Four Years and Mysteriously Disappeared. SEATTLE, WasH., March 19.—An after- noon paver publishes a Port Townsend special in the shape of an interview with one Meyers,who for ten yearshas edited the Juneau Mining Record, in which the news- paper man expresses the opinion that ‘lascott, who murdered millionaire Snell in Chicago in 1888, made his eséape to the Yukon country, where, under the alias of George Hayes, he spent four succeeding years as a miner. Tom Nelson, a pioneer Alaska miner, who knew Hayes well dur- ing that period, concurs in this opinion. ‘With the influx of prospectors in 1892 to Yukon, Hayes suddenly lelt the country, having in four years cleanea up, accord- ing to the estimate of his mining asso- ciates, about $100,000. The striking like- ness of photographs of Tascott to f{ayes, was often commented upon, and ‘it was generally whispered about campfires.” says Nelson, ‘“that Hayes was the real murderer of Snell.”” Mevers, concurring in this belief, said: ‘“Personally I am con- viné:e'd that Hayes was in fact young Tas- cott.” LD R THE RUSH TO ALASKA. Seattle’s Passenger and Freight Carry- ing Facilities Overtaxed.: SEATTLE, Wasu., March 19.—Alaska steamers sailing to-day from this port ex- hausted both passenger and freight carry- in{z ugmmes, the company refusing to sell tickets or ship more freight via the steamer Topeka at any price. Gold hunt- ers are coming to Seattle from all parts of the country, and faster than transporta- ti%nézo the faraway field north can be pro- vided. o S Seattle Firm Assigns. SEATTLE, Wasn., March 19.—A. C. Fry & Co., commission merchants, assigned to- day to W. H. Maud. Liabuiities, $10,000. —_————— LAST OBSTACLE REMOVED. The Corral Hollow Railroad Will Soon Be Completed. STOCKTON, Car., March 19.—The last obstable to the early completion of the Corral Hollow Railroad was removed to-day when a deed was filed transferring forty-two acres of right of way in the Crocker-Dillon tract to the railroad. This is the land at the mouth of the canyon for which the owners demanded $30,000 from the railroad company for the privilege of crossing. The completion of tRe railroad would be impossible without crossing this tract, and for a while it looked as though a long legal fight would be necessary be- fore the company could obtain the right- of-way at reasonable figures. The diffi- culty has, however, been amicably settled, as the consideration in the deed is but nominal. The company on its part agrees to maintain switches and fences and ren- der other services to the owners of the ranches. L . In the Chico Lockup. CHICO, Cir., March 19.—Frank Case, representing himself as an internal rev- enue collector and wearing a badge, was arrested last night and locked up in_jail. He went to the City Brewery and told the proprietor he had come fo inspect his place and exhibited his badge. While doing so_he got full of beer. Deputy Dunn of this place was notified and he told Mr. Dunn be did it all as a joke. It is liable to be a costly one, as the United States Mar- shal and Collector Stairley of Sacramento were notified.
