Detectives Dillon and McMahon, who are working on the , last night found the woman who was with Boell shortly before he was shot. She is known as Sophie Peterson. She claims to be the wife of “Jack” Ennis, the prize fighter. The woman says that she accompanied Boell from a dance at Unlon Square Hall, but left him when he was a short dis- tance from his home. She knew nothing of the shooting until late yesterday after- { noon. Made Mysterious Threats. The detectives have the names of two men who were in a restaurant at Dupont | street and Montgomery avenue a few | minutes before Boell was shot. One " of | them was heard to say, “It's no use try- ing to get him to-night, as he is with a woman. I guess we had better postpone the job until to-morrow.” They then jeft the restaurant and walked along Montgomery avenue.® Whether they re- ferred to Boell or not is unknown.

Brignolia says he was robbed of $40 early | vesterd: morning by a highwayman. He says he was walking up the avenue, and at the corner of Green street, the same place where Guinasso says he was held up, was stopped by a tall man who wore no mask. The robber pointed a pistol at his head and told him to hand over his money “quick.,” or he would be shot. Brignolia handed over $40 and was told to g0 a certain distance before turning around. The description given by Brig- nolia tallies with that of the man who £hot Boell. The police officers sent to in- b5 4;{1’:::1}8 returned the regulation report— ake. Says He Was Robbed at Ingleside. A_man who claimed he had be of 30 and a gold watch on the.

Lieutenant Anderson detalled Sergeant Shaw and Detectives Fitzgerald and Gra- ham to investigate the case, and they said the story was a fake. GOT ONLY FIFTY CENTS. Miss Josle Long Encounters Two Footpads on Ellis Street. The corner of Ellls and Octavia streets added its bit to the holdup record last night with an assault upon Miss Josie Long, a young woman, who was going to her home in that vicinity, at 9 o’clock. The young woman was walking rapldly along the sidewalk when two men came out of the shadow and one of them, pok- ing a revolver in her face, demanded her money. She did not stop to argue, but started to hand over her purse, which con- tained 5 cents. The man with the re- volver took the purse, and as he did so the other man made a grab for her watch. He missed it and went after the timepiece again, while the young woman raised her voice and screamed lustily. Her cries brought two men to her res- cue In a hurry, and as they came up on the run the two robbers made their es- He up- | keep | acters. At 12:30 a. | B e o S S S e e = SO SRS S ) cape.

RAUD, false representations and malice on the part of Theodore C. Marceau, all contriving to injure and wrong her and in order to gain an undue advantage with respect to the fon of Baby Theo, is the charge Mrs. Amanda J. Fiske-Marceau- | Fennell makes against the doughty col- onel in a complaint to be filed this morn- ing, when the battle for their tiny son | opens before Judge Troutt. Colonel Mar- ceau, holding Baby Theo tightly by the hand, walked into the lobby of the Palace Hotel yesterday morning. He announced | that he was here frora Los Angeles to make the fight of his life for the custody | of his little boy. It will be the fight of his | life, for he will find Mrs. Fiske-Marceau- Fennell ready for the battle. Good gens erals, she says, plan their campaigns well. This she has done, and if she loses it will only tell the story of a repulse, not a de- | feat. Defcat, she affirms, will only | strengthen her determination to wage the fight the harder, but victery is what she seeks. Victory will place her arms again around her little Theo; will fill the only | void her life knows and will bring happi- ness out of the chaos of loneliness and misery. She does not ask that her baby boy shall be hers alone and live only for her. She is anxious that her baby’s father | should not suffer for want of the little fellow’s love, but she demands that he be thus considerate with her. As the colenel | has manifested an evident determination to wrest his little son entirely out of the life of his devoted mother, it is certain that the fight, even though it may vh!‘ is time, will be bitter and vig- cuted. Attorney Louis P, Boardman, counsel | for Mrs. Fiske ceau-Fennell, has | about completed preparations for the fight, and out of his mind a legal maze Iculated to ru)fi_h- the cour- hi: has evolved c age of one, even though lengthened 'with mili Marceau will doubtiess a basis for | his claim upon the agreement recently | entered Into between himself and his | former wife. As his counsel have not as | yet announced their plan of action this assertion partakes of the speculative, but | in any event this agreement will be first | attacked by M Marceau’s lawyeg. This complaint first sets forth the date ®f the | marriage of the litigants. the fact and | date of their divorce and then jumps into | | the meat of the subject and questions the | valldity of the agreement in question in view of the fact that it stands 1 modi- | fication of the decree of divorce. This de- | cree left the matter of awarding the cus- | tody of the child for the future considera- | | tion of the court. The court has not prop- name is Colonel 2 | Him Up.

Some time after the Identical cafe at 226 Battery street closed last night burg- lars pried open the front doors, broke into the cash register and took the con- tents. The Gem saloon at 221 Sacramento street | was also breken into. In this place the burglars took about $30 from the cash reg- ister, besides a quantity of cigars and liquor. They broke open the front doors with a “jimmy.” —_—— GOOD SCORES MADE | AT SCHUETZEN RANGES The ranges at Schuetzen Park yesterday were crowded with marksmen of the va- rious schuetzen clubs. Weather conditions were nearly perfect and high scores pre- | valled. The California Club, the Verein Eintracht and the Marin County Schuet- zen Club_held medal shoots.
