ALAMEDA, Nov. 17.—Dairyman Gon- zales, who has two cow- that are «ffl cted with tuberculosis and whose milk is used by some people still too careless of their heaith to pay attention to such matters, is havinz pleniy of trouble with the authorities. Last evening he wus caught in | delivering the disea sed milk efter his per- ‘Hilborn’s fight last_year are | mit hed been rcvoked, and he was pro mptiy arresied, but was bailed out by two other dairymen after being locked up two or three hours. Inspector Carpenter had an idea that Gonziles would stilt further show his con- | tempt for the law, and so ne was up early Five mountain range, in British Colum- this morning and found that Gonzales ad come to town with a load of milk. He tollowed and foond his wagon at 500 Cen- tral avenne, where he was caught in the 2ct of leaving some of the miik. He acknowledgzed that it was milk from the diseased cows that he was aelivering, and accordingly was again put under ar- rest and ordered to drive to the City Hali. He went a short distanee, when he turned {0t esidewaik, jumped out and quickly dumped his cans in the street. thinking thereby to head off the health officer. But in this he was unsuccess ul, as the inspec- tor already had evidence of the character of the milk. Again Gonzales was released af-er being locke! up several hours, this t me A. C. Fay and Alexander Innes goin: on his bond. The authorities will arrest Gonzales just as often as ‘he attempts to deliver milk. Almin da Notes. ALAMEDA, Nov. 17 —Rev.

Hatch. was appropriated vy | ssterday as A resultof | 1 Mr. Peterson, made public to-aaya state- ment which throws con:iderable Light on what is being made a mystery. **Mrs. Wimble lived at our house,” said M-. Peterson, ““for along time and is my wife's sister. When she married a few years ago she was one of the brightest and most lcvable giris to e found. She was a good wife, and their life at home was as near perfect as any one could ex- pect. Her husband is an engineer on the Southern Pacific and made his home at Stockion. He was away a good part of tne time, and it was in his absences that his wif: became interested in spiritualism. “When once she commenced to study psychology she underwent a great change. | 8he refusel to live with her busband snd believed ihat she was married to some spiritual husband and that her husband had a spiritual wife. As the mania de veloped she refused Lo eat except when the spirits told her, and on one occasion s he seriously burned her foot and tore oft the bandages because a spirit told her to do so. Little by little she grew to be en- tirely under the influencs ot spirits. She was brought to our home to see if we could do anything with her, but her mania grew worse and her husbsn! spent every cent he Lad with doctors, trying to cure her. *‘He is'to-aay a broken-hearted man, homsless, and with no brightness in the future, He b.amesitall to tho-e who in the first place influenced his wife.

It is criminal as well as inflicting very painfut wounds for any one to suggest that she was railroaded (o an asylum. At her examination fiva of the leading doctors of t 18 city were present, and all agreed that if there were any hove for her recovery it would be by placing her under the care ot Dr. Gardner at Napa. “‘She 1s not a wari of the State, but her maintenance is paid for and sha is receiv- | ing every attention possivle. Dr. Gardner bas added to her husband’s grief by atat- ing that he cannot hoid out mach hope for her recovery, for patients who go in- sane over spiritualism very rarely regain their normal mental condition. “‘Her husband receives a good salary an i is devoiing every cent e can snare to his wife. Thes~ cruel thrusts of thote who would pose as Mrs. Wimble's de- fenders or liberators are simoly doubling | her busband’s griel.

Dora Strueber Not Anxious to Proseoute Her Hus- band. Blind and Afflicted, She Tells Her Story on the Witness- OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRAN w8 Broadway, Nov. 17. | Dora Lemery Streuber, a wife 16 vears of w©ge and totally biid, was on the wit- ness--tand in Judge Greene's court to-day testifying in a case in which her husb.nd is chaged with felony. The circumstances leading up to the trial are very pecuiiar, but not altogether ancommon in this county, where child marriages hav~ been very frequent of late. Just two moiths ago Ludwig Streuber and Dora L-mery wers marcied. On the 10th of September, the day set for the wedding, Dora disappeared. Strauber and Dora’s mother went to the pelice station and reported the disappearanca ol the girl. For fourdays the search was kept up, and at the end o! that time, accordinz to Streuber’s story, the was found in Fruitvale. She came to Oakland, met Streuber, who haa been carrying the mar- riage license around for a week, and, pro- ducing a gun, threatened to end her life if he did not carry out hisintention to marry her. Streuber hesitated a little. but not wish- ing to be the cause of a tragedy, and hay. ing previously obtained her mother’s consent, he wen: with the girl to a minis- ter and was marii d. One month later he was arrested on a charge of Yucing his wife in a house of il fame. The girl was also arrested and held as a witness, At the examination in the Police Court the young wife told a very damaging story. Her evidence and that of tne police was sufficient to secure the holding over of the defendant to the | Suparior Court. To-day the trial bazan. It was apparent at the outset of the young wife’s testimony that she did not intend to say any more cgainst her hus- bend than was atsolntely necessary, ana this, in view o! the fact thatshe was so positive in her testimooy in the Police Court, rather surprised the prosecution. Judge Greene, however, in his own manner, drew from the witness a great deal of evidence thal she would rather bave forzotten. The young girl prasented a pitiful spectacle. S nce her marr.age she has been efllicted with polson oak, which has affectes her eye<and reniered her quite blind. Although a woman in appearance,assoon as she talked it is easy to see that she is quite a chila, but a very smart one. In fact, at some siazes of her testimony hittie answers, wh ¢ if given directly would not have prijudiced her, werz circnmvented and twisied until at- torneys on both sides and Judges had to agree on a basis upon which the question could be asxed. A determine! effort 12 being made to save Streuver from jiil. His parents are well 1o do ana hisrecord up to the tim= of his arrest will be somewhat in his fuvor.

Kissing, Waltzing and Fighting Would Not Blend, and an Explosion Ensued. Green-Eyed Jealousy and Libations of Steam Beer Turn a Parlor Into a Prize-Ring. According to an anci nt proverb, all things must bave an end, and the mem- bers of the Morning Glory Social Club are of the opinion that the proverb is only too irue. One short week ago it was flourishinz like a green bay tree and its “swarrys,” so called, were the social events thronghout the length and breadth of North Beach. Now its memuers are divided into rival factions. Saturday night soirees were the prin- cipal events ziven by the Morning Glories. The affairs were given at the residences of members of the club, and while the ladies furnished the eatable« for the supper, the gentlemen clubbed together to purchase the drinkatles and hire the music. One rule of the club was that every member should be allowed to invite one outsider to each party, and this rule brought about the trouble and cau ed the dissolution of tie club. Last Saturday evening the Morning Glo- ries and their gue<ts assemb ed, and as one of the invited guests came George Dublois, popularly known as *'Siob.”” Ba- tween George an.d the president of the Morning G.ories, Alphonse Harney, ex- isted a bitter feud, cau<ed by the fac: that they had been rival aspirants for the band of a North Beach belle. Alphonse had carried off the prize. The appearance of this unexpected guest for a time nad a depressing effect on :ne assemblage. The president of the club gave it as his opinion that some member hud invited Duil»is in order to create a row that woud injure the good name of the Moining Glories. He further as-e-ted that under no circumstances would he lay bunds on his enemy unless he was first as- saalted. On the other hand Dublois notified his friends that he int-nde | taking no notice of Mr Hurney, whom he contemptuously alluded to as “Skinny,” owing to the sien- dernes: of that geniieman’s nether limbas. White-w nped jeace, however, was not hoverins over the assemuly to any great exient. Mr. Dublois kept his promise of not taking any notice oi Mr. Harney, but he did pav most noticeable sttention t, the latter’s wile, While the husband was employed in one oi the back rooms tap- ping the barrels of liquid refreshments and tasting the same—duties that de- Volved upon bi 1 as president of the club— his late rival daucad a mazourka with Mrs. Harpey. Friends of Harney at once carried him the news and ne hurried to the scene, only to find the mazourka over and the couple slowly circiine the floor 1o a local rendi- 1in of the waltz. To snatch his wife from his enemy's arms and strike a pugilistic rose was the work of but few s conds. Mutual friends, however, intervened, and out of respect for the good name of th- Morning Golories Harney agreed not to proceed to bostilities. Dutlois onlv re- marked that “Sginny hud derned littie spunk,” and that he would try to “‘stir nim np laer.” Finally dancing was voted a bore, and according to the time-honored custom of the ciub a piliow was brought 1nto service and th: announcement made that from then on until supper was served kissing sames wouli be the order of the evening. This was the up, oriunity that Dublois had been awaiting. Both ne and Harney had | meantime inuulged in several “sieams’’ and both were b coming belligerent. Se- curing the pillow Dublo's walked calmly over t> his enemy’s wife, drovped it at her feet, and pulling her down tpon her knees imprinted a kiss upon ber lips that sound- ed like the report of a Colt six-shooter. Forget.u! of the fair name of his club and desirous only of avenging his oui- raged honor, the president of the Morn- ing Glories sprang across the room and «mote his enemy on the jiw. The Iatter turned, there was a clincu, and then two enraged men rolled across the floor, now this one and then that one uppermost, iree. Mrs. Harney fainted, tne other ladies screamed and the men urged the com- batants on, until finally the owner of the house, having no desire of a pol:ce visita- tion, took s hand and with the assis ance of one or two others separated the enraged combatants. Druggist Gouid, who repaired the in- juries to the (wo men, used up arol of court plaster and a quart of arnica before he finished his job. According to his statement “Skinny'’ gotthe better of the argument. But the Morning Glories are a thing of The men are divided into two factions—the *'Slobs” and the “Skinnies.” The lad es have refused to attend any .more social functions where vroils are imminent, and the siaid heads ol families sternly refus: to harbor any club the members of w ! ich are likelv to turn their parlors into prize rings. B WAS NOT A FUGITIVE Friends of Melville Ellis Now Tell Their Side of the Story. They Olaim That He Left With the Oonsent of the Firm. Who got the bouquets? That is the question which is sgitating the minds of the friends of young Melville Ellis, who sailed for Japan on the Peru a few days ago. These same friends also feel that their friend was deait with bharshly in more ways than one. Feeling as they do, it is but natural that they should desire that the world be enlightened in regard to certain features of the escapade which re<ulted in the visit to the domain of the Mikado. . According to their story, not only were bauquets sent to the stateroom of young Elli, but there were num rous friends at tne dock to see him off and bid him god- speed on the way. They also claim that 1he departure was not in secret inrough fear of arrest, but was with the consent and knowledge of the members of the tirm of 8herman, Clay & Co. It develops as an attermath of the ‘tory told exc usively in THE CALL yesterday that the firm was divided on the subject of arrest and prosecuiion, but impcrtuni- ties of the iriends of the young man finally prevailed upon the firm to be It thus appears from the statements of interssted friends that instead of being a fugitive irom justice, the young man has Suction Bales THOROUGHBRED SALEN. 2 S FRIDAY.
