EREREEEREEERTLR RSN gy * % % ¥ RIFLE FOR THE SHERIFF. Mrs. Himmelman Would Not Be Separated From Her Children. EPUTY SHERIFFS GALLAND AND APPEL had an exciting time vesterday endeavoring to gain possession of the two children of Dr. A. A.

The trouble is an old one. About ten years ago Mrs. McLean ob- tained a divorce from her husband on the ground of extreme cruelty. She married again, but the union was not a happy one, and since being sep- arated from her second husband, she has been living in a flat at 112 Oak street. McLean wanted possession of the children and finally obtained an order of court giving them into his care. In his application he alleged that his wife was not a proper person to care for the children and agreed to educate them if placed in his care. Yesterday afternoon the deputy sheriffs, armed with papers giving them authority to break into the house if necessary, started out to get the children. They rang the bell repeatedly, but could get no response. Galland suspected a trick and made a flank movement. He got around to the back of the house just in time to see Florence, the elder of the two, leaving the place by the back door. He gave chase, but she led him three blocks before he could catch her. The child commenced sobbing wildly and Galand brought her back to the house. . The mother was watching from the front door and at once admitted the officers. She clasped the sobbing child to her arms and declared that they would never be separated. No trace of the other girl could be found. The officers at once proceeded to take Florence to a private school on California street and the mother declared her intention of accompanying them: She was granted permission and on the way informed Galland and Appel that had they broken in the door before the children had been smuggled out the back way she would have received them with a loaded ‘Winchester. The child was installed in the school, but the mother refused to leave it. She finally consented to do so, but in the meantime had cleverly thrown off the automatic latch. The officers left the house and Mrs. Himmelman followed them. The ladies inside, not knowing that the lock had been tampered with, thought all was well. They went back into the sitting room and tried to comfort little Florence. Two minutes later, Mrs. Himmelman, who Is a powerfully built woman, walked in and took the child away. No trace could be found of the younger child, and she is probably well out of the city by this time. The children some time ago were given into the care of Mrs. Dwinelle of Oakland, the widow of the late Judge Dwinelle, and by her with the consent of the father they were placed in charge of the principal of the California street school. The mother in thus Kidnaping the. child is now in contempt of the court's order. Dr. A. A. McLean, the father, stated last evening that the mother is an improper person to have the custody of the little girls and he wishes to save them from her influence. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * £ * * ¥* * * * #* * * * * * * * * * * * » # FEFRFRFFAFFFARRRFEXERXERLRRRENRRE XN * § The Well-Known Divine Stricken With Heart Failure Yesterday Morning.

Nothing more than failure has emerged from the cloud of dust kicked up by the Grand Jury in its investigation into the | alleged crookedness of the Board of Education. The multitudinous charges brought against .the School Directors have been either disproved or have fallen that was more than morally convincing. The blow that finally put the jury out was the failure to find any evidence cor- roborative of that which was laid before it on Monday afternoon by ex-Teacher E. D, Stanton of the Business Evening School. Stanton’s assaylt was directed mainly against Director Ragan, whom he ac- cused of having solicited a bribe, but his evidence uncorroborated carried little weight for the reason that he has already furnished to the public two affidavits and a confession, each of which contradicted e First Unitarian Chureh s nive of California, is the other.
