SOME LOVERS, A BOAT, SOLDIERS AND TROUBLE Major Gen- tional com- rry forward re in What Happened to Jones When He Tried to Further the Plans of an | Unmilitary Cupid. | To go a-wooing and end up by getting half drowned and being shot at by unsympathetic priv n - the rough, indeed. But when the wooing is a sort of Miles Standish affair some our devotion then s akin to pai one else is to profit b the unpleasantness beco None know this better than Clar H. Jones, an enterprising theatrical man from Portland, Or., who has only been in | the city a short time. According to the | story of Mr. Jomes, told at the Palac Hotel, he and another gentleman under- took orday afternoon to convey th solace of affection to two imprisoned of- ficers of the Thirty-first Regiment, at present quarantined at Angel and. | This solace w represented by ly young ladies, the sweethearts of the | quarantined officers. | Everything had been so nicely arranged by letter that there seemed to be no pos- | sibility of a slip. Jones and the precious freight he was conveying were to go from this city to Tiburon, where they were to get a small boat and row over to tl island. 'The officers had subsidized an im- pecunious private to keep watch and no- tify them of the arrival of the boat,!| which they were to meet at a certain place. Jones and his friend carried out part of the campaign to the letter il went well u the watching pri gave the signal of the boat's approach. This signal not only aroused the ex- pect officers, but alarmed the guard, d on the scene just in time to see the boat within the quarantine line and the two officers waiting on tne shore to meet it. The officers were at once ordered to their quarters under arrest and_the oc- cupants of the boat were directed to land and be chained up also. This they were more than willing to do, as the plug in the bottom of the boat had come out and the ladies were sitting in water up to their knees with a fair pros- pect of the boat sinking. Before they had proceeded many yards landward Jones found the plug and, put- ting it in the hole, directed his companion to pull for the Tiburon shore while he bailed out. As soon as the soldiers on the beach no- ticed the boat change direction they called upon its occupants to retrace their course or be shot. The ladies pleaded for Jones to keep on and get them out of the scrape, which he—gallant fellow that he is—dld, nor was his sveed toward the Tiburon shore lessened by three bullets which the minions of TUncle Sam sent whistling over the boat. However, the bullets went wide of their mark, and the whole party escaped to Belvedere and thence to the ci Jones, in summing up the engagement last night, reported the following losses in his command: Two rulned pair of trousers, two pair damp silk stockings, number of skirts stained by sea [ silk and otherwise, two pair blis hands. one female lying in apartments of the Palace Hotel on the verge of nervous their da nt who arriv prostration. Tt is said that the tears that were shed caused an unusually high tide on the Marin County shore. ———— | Yesterday’s Insolvents.

He stated in reply to the attorneys’ direct questions that the register story wad based only on his impressions; that he had no scruples about telling the original yarn to Mr. Paterson for the reason that he was not then on the witness stand and was not making a statement under oath. Attorney Hanlon forced an admissicn from Wright that he had discussed the c with Sherman Reynolds, wko is ac- cused of having erased the names from the register and who admits having re- ceived money from both sides of the case.

She was equally emphatic in branding as a ** hood’™ that she had lived with Mr. Gibb: as his wife. Numerous affidavits were read from those who knew the plaintiff only as “‘Hite's wife,” and their tenor indicated that the ways of the .uariposa women in discussing the affalrs of their neighbors are not_different from those of other sections of the country One woman, who claimed that Hite had robbed her of a mine, thought he was a real funny man because he went to San Francisco and bought siik dresses for Lucy “to deck her out like a lady The trial will be continued next Tues- dey morning and the attorneys cxpect to finish the testimony by Wednesday. e e DR.
