Clever Counterfeiter Has Been | | Working Successfully in His District. RIS to The Call SAN RAFAEL, Nov. 15—Mill Valley i ablaze with indignation. A bold counter: feiter has ornamented the legs of the tu ducks and geese of the town with yus license tags, thus delivering a solar plexus blow to the pound ordinance. The startling discovery s made by Epectal Dispatc Poundman Charles Clin: yesterday morning, when he capty a goose and wo roosters which were wearing the han- diwork of the counterfeiter. Mr. Cline | was on his usual morning tour of the town, when his attention was attracted to a large willowy necked gander, w tag had slipped from his knee and wa ping ar on top of his expansive foot, Not wishing to see the owner lose the tag Mr. Cline got out his goose call and de- livered several mandatory “honks,” whereupon the intelligent bird came to a halt and allowed the poundman to handle the tag. No sooner had Mr. Cline's hand touched the metal than he realized that he was toying with the handiwork of a | dangerous counterfeiter. Upon inspection | the tag showed much ingenuity, though it | bristled with faults. Instead of being made of 104 proof aluminum, like the gen- | uine. it was coined of 14-karat brass and thinly plated with tin. - | After makinz the discovery Mr. Cline sought the services of Constable hard McDonald and his rlata. Together they lassoed_and threw many of the tagged fowl. Seven bo efforts. When Police Judge C. T. Conlan re- turned to San Francisco from his summer home in the valley he left a large asth- matic rooster, upon the advice of his phy- sician, who told him that the bird would never survive the fogs of the metropolis. This morning Cline and McDonald pur- sued the rooster into a hollow tree and found that he was passing the ‘“‘queer’ upon the poundman. He was placed in a sack after his leg was reliev of its bo- ue tags. Half an hour later Professor eorge Miehling’s wrestling rooster “Olympic” was found roaming the streets and scratching worms with a limb that | carried another bogus tag. He joined | Conlan’s rooster in the sack and both are | now in the Cline barn. Cline and McDonald have organized a secret service bureau and the guilty man will be hunted to earth. No expense will be spared. Once a week from now on Poundman Cline will line up the fowl of the valley for inspection and examine the tags. -— | McMTLLAN mvnéfiooon | WITNESS FOR DEFENSE | Declares Positively That Martin | Struck Williams Before the Shooting.

He warned them he was an of- ficer and for them to desist. At last he was compelled to shoot. Before doing so he fired one shot in the air. The prosecution offered some testimony in rebuttal. John Duncan said he saw the { parties in the crowd that congregated | after the shooting trip up and hit Bege- |row. He sald_the blood stains on the clothes of the Constable were from these attacks.

There is| every 1e n to believe that evidence of the most sensational character will be nted to e jury, upon whose find- s another human life may depend. Saturday afternoon, November 3, Mabel Ingalls was alive and well. That aft noon she and a young friend and nelgk bor, Miss Adams, were invited to hous€ of Mrs., Laura M. Laurie, who operates an employment agency in Bal- lard. The two girls were treated to cake and before she could reach home Miss In. galls was taken violently ill. The . usual home remedies for cramps were admiu- istered, but without giving relief, and during the evening a physician was sum- moned. He diagnosed the case as cholera morbus and so treated it. The girl be- came rapidly worse. Late at night three other physicians were called in, but their efforts were of no avail, early Sunday morning. he death certifi- e shows the cause as cholera morbu: noon. In the midst of their first grief Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Ingalls, the parents of thc accepted the physicians' state- ment as to the cause.

Tt was imperative to examine | other orfuns and tissues of the body for traces of that poison. I’t hap "tu “th'nt arsenic oison tha s suspected caused th geath of Miss Ingalls. It was the belle; of the physicians who attended here that she died of cholera morbus.

Naturally Drs. Powers and Bowles re- fuse to make public the result of the au- | topsy. That they discovered something | that warrants the suspicion of foul play i8 evident from the fact that on the strength of their private report to Coro- ner Sparling an inquest has been ordered. From the outset Miss Ingalls’' relatives have refused publicly to discuss the mat- ter, further than to admit that it was at the instance of the father that the inves- tigation was held.

She states that the facts related by Miss Adams are substantially correct., She in- vited the two girls to her house and gave them the cake and wine of which both partook. She_ insists, however, that she did not, as related by Miss Adams, pour the wine intended for Miss Ingalls from a glass into a cup, and also says that she erself drank of the same beverage. wine, she says, was left with her as a sample a few days previous by a travel- ing salesman. She asserts that she and Miss Ingalls were the dearest friends and that no one had rejoiced more than she in the ap- roaching marriage of Miss Ingalls to ‘arstens. She also intimates that Mr. and Mrs. Ingalls have reasons to dislike her, but refuses to discuss that phase of the matter until the inquest. Miss Ingalls was 22 years old and a beautiful girl. She was trained for the profession of teaching, but had been em- ployed as a clerk In a Seattle store until a few weeks prior to her death, when she left her place to prepare for her marriage. Her father is a jeweler in Ballard and the family is considered highly respectable. Mrs. Laurie is 38 or 40 vears of age, and in no way of a prepossessing appearance. She conducts an employment agency at Ballard and lives apart from her husband, although both state that their separation is merely a business arrangement and not due to any matrimonial infelicity, T8, Laurie declares that she will face the in- er husband is She returned quest in perfect confidence of vindication, but the Sheriff's office is maintaining a constant watch upon her movements. to them certificates of election.
