As soon as they were found a writ of habeas corpus was issued by Judge Og- and a couple of Deputy Sheriffs at vent to San Leandro and b ght their mother into court. About fifteen years ago Mr. and Mrs. Hurt lived near Cheyenne, where they were married. He owned some of the It stock ranches in the State and is a very prominent man in that section.

He met Hurt on the street, attempted his old tactics of provoking a quarrel, and before anybody was aware that the two men were quar- reling, Hurt’s enemy lay dead on the side- a; walk with a bullet through his heart. The circumstances were considered so justi- figble that nothing was done with Hurt, and all Wyoming commended the action Which his Virginian blood had prompted. As soon as Hurt was aware that his ex- wife had levanted with the children he employed Pinkerton's agen to follow her. After a short time the woman and children were cated in Colorado, and at once a writ of habeas corpus was pro- cured, compelling her to produce them in . in accordance with the order of the Wyoming court. While this case w: ending, the woman cleared out again and’ Jurt heard nothing of her or her children 111l they were located at San Leandro. The father learned some months ago that his ex-wife had married a man niamed Alfonso Shaeffer. For a long time he refused to believe that such was the case, for to his personal knowledge Shaef- fer had been convicted of a felony. Hurt, on one occasion, in the courtroom at Cheyenne when Shaeffer was convicted of rand larceny. The knowledge that his hree little ones were in the custody of his ex-wife and Shaeffer spurred him on to redouble his efforts to recover them, knowing that they could not be sur- rounded by the best influences. From Colorado Shaeffer, the woman and children journeyed through Mexico and back into California, but the detect- jves were not able to come up to them. Hurt had prepared the way for this long journey of his ex-wife and Shaeffer by 2 liberal appropriation he made her at the time the divorce was granted. When she assured him that the children should be Sell cared for, he settled on her $20.000 and allowed her §75 a month alimony. This Slimony ceased as 80on as he Knew she was married to Shaeffer, and with the balance of the $20,000 llbefi' have been flying ough the two republics. m’x‘:hezummate discovery of the Shaeffers and the little Hurts came about in a Foundabout manner.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 8 Broadway, June 29. Judge Elisworth decided a case this morning upon which many other suits in different parts of the State are hanging. In the estate of Jacob Roth deceased, the court declared that the State of California could not collect its claim, as it had not presented it within the time allowed by law.

Local Merchants ‘Want It for Sprink- ling the City’s Streets. At a meeting of the Merchants’ Assocla- tlon yesterday the subject of sprinkling | the streets with salt water was discussed at length, and as Professor Price, the chemist, had presented a report upon the | effects of water from the ocean upon | pavements and upon the general healtn | of the community it was decided to urgs | upon the Board of Supervisors to sprinkle the streets with salt water Instead or fresh. The reasons for making this re- commendation are set forth in the follow. ing communication to the Board of Su- pervisors: To the Street Committee of the Honor: Board of Bupervisors—Gentiemen: Terewitn me | beg to sumit for your consideration a report | carefully prepared by Messrs. Thomas Price & Son upon the effects of fresh and salt water on bituminous pavements, and the respective value of each for street sprinkling purposes. The fol- lowing p;&nclulionl may be summarized from this report: First—Water has no harmful effect upon bituminous rock pavement that is properly pre- pared and well laid. Second—There {s no substantial difference in the effect of fresh or salt water upon any bituminous pavement, Third—Water has an injurfous effect upon bituminous pavements where the bituminous rock {8 not well mixed or the pavement is not subjected to sufficlent pressure. Fourth—In a sanitary point of view fresh water {8 Inferior to salt water for street sprink- fresh water, as less sprinkling will be required, Sixth—The use of salt water for street sprinkling will not result in injury to clothing or_merchandise in stores. In view of the foregoing conclusions we would respect(ully recommend to your honorable board that salt water be used In sprinkling the public streets of the city. Hoping that these recommendations will have your early consideration, we remain, very truly yours, MERCHANTS' ASS8OCIATION. —_————— Dried Fruit for Burope. “Manager J. A.
