Supreme Court Justice McFarland belleves that even an Indian woman has rights that the paleface must respect and one of these rights re- lates to the sacred bond of matrimony and wifehood, for the foregoing language was a part of his dissenting opinion in the case of Lucy Hite against the well- known Mariposa mine-owner, John R. Hite. The trouble which brings the aged squaw into the tribunal of justice of the white man in the position of plaintiff in a divorce suit dates back over a quarter of a century. It is a tale of frontier life, poverty, romance and sorrow. Many years ago Hite was a poor prospector, traveling the rough mountains in search of the gold that lay hidden in the depths of the then almost unexplored country. His first companion was a burro, which served as # beast of burden in carrying the camp outfit and provisions. A young Indian woman, the same who now is casting a cloud over the happi- ness of the miner, met him one day and whether it was a case of love at first sight or merely a matter of convenience is not known, but they assumed the relations of husband and wife, Hite overlooking the fact that she was already the mother of a little halfbreed who went by the name of Thomas H. Gibbs. The young Indian woman was a welcome addition to miner's outfit, at least to the burro, whose burden was made lighter, and together “squawman,” squaw ns in search of wealth, which was finally found valuable Hite mine. 0 and the Indian woman obtained a respite from their labors and s installed in one of the best houses that could e found in the wild mountains. A quarter of a century passed and, according to witnesses in the pres- ent case, the woman was known all this time as “Mrs. Hite” and “Hite's wife Lucy.” But time made sad inroads upon the beauty of the aborigine and several years ago Mr. Hite took up a permanent residence among the people of clviliza- tlon. A year or so ago while in Oakland he became smitten by the charms of a young paleface and the two were wedded according to the ceremonies of modern requirements. Then the trouble began. The Indian woman asserted her rights by bringing an action for divorce and for her share of the community property. As might be expected, Hite carried the purse and the dusky and wrinkled plaintiff discovered that she had to live and the lawyers had to be paid. So she appealed to the Judge of the Superior Court of this city for alimony and suit money. Some testimony was taken and the Judge decided that the woman had eclaims for consideration and he ordered the mine-owner to pay alimony to his former companion of the Mariposa Mountains. From this Hite appealed and the majority of the Justices of the Supreme Court upheld his appeal. Justice Temple, who wrote the opinion, decided that to justify alimony it must be ad- mitted or proven that there is a marriage. Chief Justice Beatty added: “Only a wife can claim alimony and when the fact of the marriage in issue or unproved there is no one in that position.” In this case, so far as it had pro- gressed, the question of the marriage had not been determined. For all that the majority of the Supreme bench declded in favor of the rich man, still the poor woman was not without some sympathy, for Justice Me- Farland said that the order of the lower court was proper and should be sup- ported. He claimed that the woman was entitled to have aid to prove her case. Without the means of paying court and legal fees how could she prove that her a just one? In a sarcastic vein the Justice speaks of Hite, saying: Appellant seems deeply impressed with the danger of a well-to-do husband being compelled to contribute to the prosecution of a scheming woman who swears falsely that she is his wife; but no fear seems to be entertamed that a husband may prevent an injured wife from obtaining means to prosecute a just suit by simply averring that she is not his wife.” Justice McFarland stated that much stress is laid upon the fact that the woman is only an Indian, but he holds that in matters of justice race cuts no figure and continued: “When he discarded her it was evidently not that she was an Indian, but because she was then an old Indian.” Justice Garoutte was an- other of the bench who thought that the laws of the State should extend pro- dian woman, for, in his opinion, in which he agrees with Jus- . he calls attention to the fact that Hite lived with her for twen- ty his sister visited her and slept with her; that Hite had chil- dren by her, and that the nephews and nicces of the mine-owner visited him and treated the Indian woman as the wife of their uncle. But the majority of the Supreme bench has decided that money or no money the Indian woman must in the now Then the bu the former w: the vessel are going to lay claim to the salvage themselves. The case is a pecu- liar one, but the underwriters evidently think that there is something in it, judg- ing by the efforts they put forth to reach the Thomson and tow her into port. The vessel and cargo are insured for an amount in the neighborhood of $100,000, and the owners of the vessel reason this way: Supposing a vessel is damaged while rounding the Horn and the captain is compelled to put back to Montevideo for repairs. As soon as she reaches San Francisco thereafter a general average Is declared and the insurance companies pay up. Now here is a cargo valued at over $60,000 saved by the exertions of the cap- tain and crew alone without any outside help, therefore the claim for salvage will be made against the underwriters. ‘When the ne of the Thomson being at Santa Cruz reached the city the under- writers at once chartered the fastest tug in the bay—the Fearless—and sent her away after the vessel. The owners, how- ever, had got Captain Whitney over the ‘phone and told him on no account to ac- cept a tow from the Fearless, but to wait until Mr. Jerome arrived. Mr. Jerome then got aboard the tug Rescue and started for Santa Cruz. When he arrived the Feariess had been there over an hour, but Captain Whitney had refused Captain Marshall's offers of assistance. The Rescue then took the Thomson in tow and brought her to San Francisco. The underwriters were thus balked in their attempts to get a hold of the vessel, and it now remains to be seen how the salvage matter will come out. Several missionaries will go north to work among the Esquimaux as soon as the fleet sails for the Arctic. Dr. S. R. Sprigs and wife will leave on the schoon- er Bonanza about the 25th inst. Dr. Sprigs is sent out by the Government and will | be stationed at Point Barrow, where he will act as physician and teacher to the natives.

A BOLD CRIME COMMITTED NEAR THE CITY HALL The police are puzzled over a burglary which occurred Thursday night in the shadow of the City Hall. Notwithstand- ing that at least a dozen policemen were in the vicinity at the time, a burglar broke into Callahan & Hartnet's - loon on MecAllister street, near Larkin, and got away with about $10 in silver, several bottles of whisky and 300 cigars. After sampling the bottles of liquor that lined the bar the daring crook wrote a note in which he sald he was sorry for having been forced to commit the crime, but promised to *“call again” and settle for the damages, Shortly after midnight Thursday Hart- net, who was on duty at the time, left the saloon, after securely fastening both the front and back entrances. When his partner appeared at 6 o'clock in the morn- ing he was surprised to find the front door unlocked and the bar littered with broken bottles. The cash register had been broken open and the contents were gone. A broken transom over the rear door of the saloon showed how the bur- glar had entered. It is supposed that after Hartnet had left the place the burglar climbed over a fence in the rear of the saloon and, pro- curing. a ladder, broke open the tran- som. He then entered the saloon, and, after breaking open the cash register, helped himself to the contents. After fill- ing up,;with various liquors the bold in- truder picked up a sheet of paper which he foun@d in one of the side rooms and wrote the missive that was found by one of the proprietors when he opened the sa-~ loon on the following day. The fact that the crime was committed while a number of policemen were stand- ing in front of the City Hall after having reported off duty makes the burglary more puzzling. Both the gropr!etors of the saloon are convinced that the burglary was com- | mitted by somebody who is amiliar with | the premises. They suspect a certain man who been hanging around the lace and who recently declared to a riend that he intended to rob the saloon. Since the burglary he has not been seen. A description of him has been furnished the police, and every effort will be m: to apprenend him. SAY | ABOUT YOUR TIEEM ¥ VAN VROOM DENTAL PARLORS, SIXTH AND MARKET.
