| | THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5 1897. LEGAL STRUGGLE ~ FOR LITTLE EFFIE Mrs. Holstrom Files a For mal Petition for Guar- dianship. Swears She Will Not Give Up! the Search So Long As She Lives. William A. Lighthall, Father of the' Petitioner, Will Appeal to the Courts. Lucinda Holstrom continues to supplicate the powers that be for the re- | turn of her ward, bat not legally adopted daughter, Effie R. V. Holstrom, concern- ing whom there has been so mucnh con- troversy in the Superior Court. Since the child was taken from her custody she has exbausted every device known to her to | aseeriain the child’s whereabouts. No information has yet been obtained by her, but she swears by her hope in heaven not 10 give over the search 5o long as she lives. Sne declares that it will be impossible for any one to keep her from finding the Through her attorney, Leonard S. Mrs. Holstrom has filed a petition in Judge Coffey’s court to be appointed the legal guardian of the child, hoping thereby to obtsin an order compelling Officer Kane to disclose the little one’s hiding-place. | In her petition Mrs. Holstrom sets forth that the child was born in this City December 15, 1892, and was given to her | by the child’s mother, an unmarried | woman, when the little one was six days | old. Mrs, Holstrom further avers as fol- lo | That ever since the 21st day of Decem- | ber, 1892, and until the 1stof February, 1897, she bas carea for, nurtured, clothed d'mainiained the child and provided for its waats in the most careful and affec- tionate manner, and has treated her in every way as though she were her own and has become attached to her as fully as though she were her own flesh and biood. Also that the child. bas never known any otber mother and nhas been bappy and contented in her care and has been well and liberally provided for. Mrs. | Holstrom aiso says she is well able still to cure for and to provide for and maintain and educate Etfie in & manner appropriate 10 the child’s necessities and condition.” | No letters of guardianship bave ever | been issued to Mrs. Holstrom, nor has she | ever legally adoptea Effie, not believing | tuat ber custody of the little giri would | ever be questioned. On the lst day of February, 1897, one | Frank J. Kane, she furtner avers, without | any right or authority, and with force and arms, and with great violence, and with threats and menuces, seized and carried Effie away with him and put Mrs. Hol- | strom in great fright and terror, and de- prived Effie of the tender and affectionate care which Mrs. Holstrom has always ex- | tended to her. Since then Mr. Kane has had Effie within his possession and con- trol, without any right or authority there- for. Then Mrs. Holstrom says that Effie isin need of a proper custodian, who will care for her as a mother should; that Effie re- sisted and protested with all her power inst being removed, but that in spite of Ler cries and screams and remonstrances she was forcibly seized and carried away by Kane, to her great fear and trepidation, grief and agony, and to the sorrow and h of the petitioner. Holstrom additionally says she is the ouly person capable of taking care of Effie, and that she is acquainted with her wants and necessities, predilections and tendencies, and is the only person who is u fit or proper guaraian of her. She also says that the mother, Sally McGaire, is nota fit nor a_ proper person to have the care or cusiody of Effie, and avers that the mother of Effie doesnot reside in San Francisco. Wilham A. Lightua!l, father of Mrs, Holstrom, is much attuched to the little girl and seems determined to get her back. “She was my little playfellow, and I treated her and looked on her as my own granddaughter,” said Mr. Lighthall. “We all fuirly worship her, and if there is anything the matter it has been that we have petted her too much. Some people might think so, but I can’ tagree on that.” | Like any one closely touched by a mat- | ter of this kind, Mr. Lighthali reasons sharply concerning Officer Kane’s conduct in taking away the child. ‘‘If Mr. Kane had aright to take our baby he would have an equal right to take anybody’s baby, and - then if an effort were made to get back the child he could answer that he ga&ve it 10 & person who saia she was the child’s mother; and according to this view there is no law to stop him. He swears that he doesn’t know the woman's me. How, then, does he know that she is the child’s mother? How does Mr. Kane know that my daughter is not the child’s mother? We bad the child in our custody and he entered our house by force, with- out warrant of law or order of court, and on his own authority took the chiid. If he nad & rightto do that, then it is no longertrue that a man’s home is his castle, “There has been no hearing in court to decide between us, but I bope there may be. He said my dnu%}uer was accused of being & bad woman; I say thatis notirue. She lives at home with her motker and me, and is as good & woman as there is in the world. “It is easy enough to speak sianders of any woman, but 18 a police officer war- ranted in tirying the case againstan ac- cuted woman ou his own responsibility ? 1f so what is the use of the courts? “If Mr. Kane had a right 10 take away my daughier’s listle one on the meresayso of outside and interested parties and then sneer in our faces when we ask for the law's protection what are we to do? What | can we do? We may have to submit, for we are not rich: but I will not rest under | such oppression without protest. 1 shall cry ou for justice for my daughter and her little one until some rightevus Judge shall hear me.” The case will be called for hearing in Judge Coffey’s court next Tuesday morn- 4ng, the 9th inst. ELEOTRIO COMPETITION, Another Company Organized to Supply Light, Power and Heat. Another electric company for supplying light, power and heat has been orranized. It is named the Golden Gate Electric Company of San Francisco, and the incor- porators are: G. Cross, George E. Whitaker, C. M. Cross, N. A. Kobinson and B. J. Parker. It is announced that it is the intertion of the company to purchase and lease real estate and to erect suitable buildings for the purpose of carrying on the business of supplying electricily to all customers in this City and vicinity. One favorable phase of the new com- pany is that the capital stock is fixed at only $250,000, which indicates that the rojectors of the enterprise do not believe 0 inflation of the foundation. —_———— Insoivent Debtors.

Elegant Bridal Gifts, Including a Diamond Star From the Groom. Mrs. Henry T. Scott Gives a Dance Complimentary to Three Popu- iar Buds. Last evening at half-past 8 o’clock, at the picturesque and artistic home of the bride, 1036 Vallejo street, Neville Castle, son of the late Michael Castle, and Miss Mary Crittenden Scott, daughter of the late Henry H. Scott, were married, Rev. Mr. Lion of St. Stephen’s officiating. The decorations of the home were ex- | tremely pretly and consisted mainly of | palms, violets and roses. Hall and stair- cases were lined with tall and massive palms. In the broad window of the draw- | ing-room was erected a bower of paims, | roses and violets, and here the young couple stood during the impressive bridal service. On account of the recent be- reavement in the groom’s family only relatives were present. The pride was attended by her sisters, the Misses Laura and Kate Scott, who of- ficiated as bridesmaids. Jack Casserly was best man. The bride wore a hand- | some gown of white taffeta trimmed with ! bridal veil fell in fleecy folds onto thelong train of the gown and was confined to the coiffure by a diamond star, the gift of the groom. The bridesmaids were attirea alike in white organdie over whits siik presents were unusually handsome and numerous. Many congratulatory tele- grams and cablegrams were received from absent friends. Mr. and Mrs. Castle will spend their honeymoon in Scuthern California. They will make their tuture home in San Jose, where Mr. Castle is a prominent young attorney. They expect to reside at the Vendome, where they will remain until the home which is being built for them is completed. Last evening, at her home, corner of Clay and Laeuna streets, Mrs. Henry T. Scott gave a small dance, complimentary to Miss He.en Hopkins, Miss Cunning- ham and Miss Caro Crockett.

L Tomasini of Petaluma writes as fol- lows on the proposed dairymen’s bill, now before the Legislature: The opposition encountered by the dairy- men’s bill, now before the Legislature, and the doubt raised by some of its members of the sbil- ity of the dairymen to understand thelr busi- ness and to take care of themselves, can on?
