MARRIED WHILE A STORM RAGES Sausalito Justice Weds a Couple on the Ocean. Albert Holliday and Flora Lawritz United on the Hustler. | | To Evade the Laws of the State Bride and Groom Pass Through | Great Danger. SAUSALITO, CaL, June 10.—In the face of & howling storm, with the wind blowing in vicious and blinding gusts and the heavy swell from the ocean tossing the little launch Hustler about like an eggehell, a couple were married by the venerable Justice J. 8. Bellrude of Sausa- lito far outside the heads. The little handful of people who clus- tered in the cabin of the launch consisted of the contracting parties, Albert Holliday and Mrs. Flora Lawritz, the brother of | the groom and a sister of the bride, Jus- tice J. 8. Belirude, Thomas J. Milton Jr. and George Hughes of Sausalito, and they | passed through an exciting experience | that will long live in their memories, be- | ing slightly more romantic than they had hoped. When the party rot outside the heads and were exposed to the fury of the wind the little launch was tossed about to the | great discomiori of the passengers and the | anguish of Justice Belirude, who grew | white and red by turns and leaned over | the side of the boat, furnishing spornori the fishes. But the story is full of romance and excitement ana is best told by start- | ing at the beginning. g It seems that the fire of love burned in | the breast of Fiora Lawriiz toward Al-| bert Holliday, but the last Legislature | made laws provoking!y wrong for divorced | couples, and so she could not sezure a li- | cense to marry the man of her choice. | It was ouly two days ago that the courts | granted her a decree of divorce from her | former busband, who is behind the bars | of the big penitentiary at San Quentin serving a term for some wrong against society. To secure the divorce wasa sim- | ple matter and was over in a short time, | but the new law requiring a divorcee to wait & year before remarrying was_more difficult to surmount, so the idea of bav- ing n weading on the briny deep was sug- gested and acted upon | Last night the conpie attempted to get | Justice Joseph H.

Not a word was spoken.

Justice Beiirude was a sight to behold. Wiih one hand he attempted to ching to the railing of the boat and with the other he made efforts to hold his head- gear in place. Tired and sick of his job he wished to go back. His voice could not be heard above the roar, and only his wild and frantic gestures apprised the capwin of what he was attempting to communicate. Onwurd the launch sped over the water and when outside the three-miie limit the ceremony was periormed. It was a scene t almost beggars description. Unable | to stana up in the boat on account of the wind and tossing, and with faces white | from that funny feeling experienced in rough weather on board boats, the couple clung to their seats. | Justice Belirude, ready at any moment to give way to the feeling of nausea that showed jtself in his face and actions, at- | tempted to speak the words that would make them man apd wife, but the wind virtually took them out of his mouth and | he stood sputtering and attempting to | gain his breath. Finally he got the words out and the ceremony was over. He waved wildly for the captain to steer | for bome, and the little launch fairly flew toward Sausalito, while the Jostice bent over (bhe stern and admired the blue water and ‘the fishes.

Jokn Landers Scores a Point in His Action for the D.sso/ution of the Sunset Dsirict. FRESNO, Car, June 10 —Judge Webb of the Superior Court has overruled the | demurrer of the defendant in the suit of | Jobn Landers agains: the Sunset Irriga- | tion District to have its organization dis- | so.ved. The attorneys for the big West Side d's- trict filed a demurrer to the complaint on | the ground that the State law provides | that a suit to disorganize an irrization disirict cannot be brought more than two years after the formation of the corpora- tion througa the county Boara of Super- visors. The Sunset district was estab- lished by crder of the Supervisors in 1591, six years ago. But the law referred to was not passed by the Legisiature til after the West Side orcanization was | formed, and Judee Webb heid that it, | therefore, did not apply to the case. The | court also deemed the act special lsgisia- tion, and on thess grounds he overruled the demurrer. The defense has not filed its answeras yet. In the complaint some Interesting sllegations are made. It is setforih at considerable lenzth that the project of pumping water from tbe Kings River to irrigate the vast area of land in the d irict is impracticable. Among other | thines it is ebarged that the petition to the Board of Bupervisors asking for the formation of the district was fraudnlent | and did net b the signatures of fifty bona fide landowners in the district. Milton McWhorter, one of the directors of the corporation, is accused of having Tpetrated the fraud. Heisalleged to ve cut up a tract of twenty acres into cre lots and then deeded one each to twenty aifferent persons. Mr. McWhorter | towed | beld by the authori had these men sign the petition to the Supervisors. Landersclaims thatthe Jand was given them for no other purpose than that they might sign this petiticn aslana- owners, for without them the number of signatures wou!d not have been sufficient. McWhorter’s object in doing this, alleges the plaintiff, was to make it possible for him to be a director of the district and en- joy the emoluments of the office. DERELICT SIGLIN PICKED UP. Towed Into Sitka by i4e Corwin—0nly Body Found on Board That of Green- fizld’s Boy. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasn.. June 10.— The steamer Citv of Topeka arrived this morning from Alaska. While the Topeka wasat Sitka the revenue cutter Corwin in the schooner Gereral Siglin, whick was wrecked while en route from | San Francisco to Unalaska, and from which all on board were lost. The only body found on the schooner was that of the six-year-old son of Man- ager Greenfield of the Alaska Commercial Company, who with his wife and three | children’ssiled or the ill-fated schooner from San Francisco. It is thought tnat all on board were | drowned belfore leaving the schooner and their bodies afterward washed out, as all the ports and hatches were open. Tne | luct that the boy’s body was found on the schooner is evidence that she was not de- serted. A bag containing $2000 in gold was found on the schooner. The Siglin was nearly all under water when found, but is very little damaged. s e Lo STOCKTON INsULANCE WAR, Local Agents rebel Apainst Terms of the Underwriters. STOCKTON, Car, June 10.—At a meet- ing held this afternoon the local agents decided positively to resist the demands of the Board of Underwriters of the Pacific Coast at San Francisco. They deciare | that unless 20 per cant is allowed them instead of 15 they will not listen to any overtures from the insurance compact. To-dav at noon the ultimatum of Man- ager Stillman of the Board of Und writers expired and the local agents were left without companies to write insur- ance in. E. K. Atsip and D. W. Carmichael of Sacramento came down to confer with the local agents, and assurances were received om San Jose that the agents tuere would and pat with the Stockton men. A committee of six was appointed to confer with the agents at San Jose, Sacramento, Los Angeles and Fresno. The Stockton insurance men expect to write business in companies outside of the compact, and claim that these companies will benefit vastly by the stand taken to-day.

SACRAMENTO, Car., June 10.—The verdict of the Coroner's jury in the in- quest held to-night on the body of Fung Chung, the Chinaman who was killed Monday night in the highbinder war, was to the effect that the killing was done by an unknown man. At the present time the two highbinder | meeting Mr. Bryan at the State line, pro- ocieties are maintaining an armed neu- settlement, but as their ranks have been swelled by the arrival of a number of notable hatchetmen from San Francisco itis evident that the war is not over and that hostilities may begin at any moment.

LOS ANGELES, Car., June 10.—There is some chance that certzin electric wires in Los Angeles will be buried in cownpli- ance with the recent city ordinance.

Amiz, June 10.—| Augusiine Chacon, murderer, sentenced | 10 be hanged on the 15th of this month, | sawed his way to liberty last night. He | cut through the jail wall into the Sherift's | office and from there easily gained iree- dom. Graham County had a peculiar interest | in Chacon. Aithough murders have not | been infrequent here convictions have, | and Chacon’s exeoution was to have been | the first legal hanging in the county. But | some one supplied him with a saw mti‘ night and no one has seen him since. Sheriff’s posse is hot on his trail, but it is now feared that the event set for Friday week may have to be postponea. Chacon will not be caugbt without a struggle and probably will never be taken alive. He| has nothing to lose, as his attorney, Judge | Cullom, has already exhausted every pos- } | | sible avenue of legal escape, and only a few hours before Chacon bhegan to saw | Governor Franklin had decided not to grant the respite asked for in a petition | that was signed by six of the jurors in the case and by the Territoria! Judge. There | was nothing left for Chacon but the saw | or the gallows. | A year ago last fall the grocery-store of | Paul Becker a1 Morenci was eatered by | robbers, among whom was Chacon. Becker woke up; there was a fight and Becker | was stabbed. Next dsy when the Sher- | iff’s posse was chasing Chacon he turned | and fatally shot Salcido, one of his pur- | suers. Later Chacon was caught and nar- | rowly escaped mob violence. Public senti- | ment cbangad in his case, however, for | although the Supreme Court and then the | Governor refused to interfere witn nis | seutence, his petition for clemency was | numerously signed, and by many well- | known nares in the county. | It is not thought likely that there will | be a hanging at Solomonviile on the 18th. | TO HEAD UFF PLINCE LUIGL 4 Philadelphian dbout to Attempt the Ascont of M.
