Be- | sides, he demands the return of his pres- 'ents and money advanced for the support of the wife who practically deserted him, he says, on their wedding ddy. Mantel is a traveling salesman for the | Chihuahua Brewing Company and occa- sfonally makes visits to this coast. On { one of these occasions, about three years ago, his attention was attracted to an ad- vertisement in a morning paper for a po- sition as governess, housekeeper or some- thing of this kind, signed “M. * Fruit- vale, Cal. Mantel answered the advertise- ment and a long correspondence followed. One of the earliest letters received by Mantel, but without date, is as follows: FRUITVALE, Alameda County.

Letters equally as tender, but increasing in intepsity of endearing expressions fol- lowed.” Business permitted Mantel to come to San Francisco. v personal intercourse the spark of love was fanned into a flame and Evelyn Cuthbert was married to Mantel at ‘the residence of Mrs. Maxwell, in Fruitvale, in the after- noon of January 31, 1 Rev. R. F. Coyle of Oakland officiating. No reception or honeymoon followed the marriage ceremony. On the Southern Pa- cific train, which left Oakland two hours later, the bride bade a hasty adieu to her husband, promising to meet him soon again in Mexico, when they would assume the duties of husband and wife in a hacienda in Chihuahua. Every month, Mantel says, he sent his wife $25 for her maintenance, but it was destined that nearly a vear should elapse before they should again be united. In the meanwhile all kinds of endearine letters passed between them. Finally tired of waiting. in November, 1899. Mantel says he sent his wife $100 with which to make the journey to Mexico, and about midnight of November 17 the bride arrived at Chihuahua in company with a relative, Katherine Maxwell. The very next morning Mrs. Mantel, ac- cording to her husband, declared that sha wanted to go home to her mother, and al- though Mantel gave her $40 to purchase necessaries for their household she would not stay, and after a wrangle lasting two days Mrs. Mantel and Katherine Maxwell refurned to this countr: ‘While Mrs. Mantel w letter from one Charles Lund of Fruit- vale addressed to Mrs. Mantel was re- ceived and opened by her husband. There is nothing apparently in the letter to e cite suspicion, but Mantel says he did not like her to recelve it. Now Mantel is here to seek redress. “I commen corresponding with my wife three years ago.” sajd Mantel, *and when T first met her T 4id not like her. I thought she had too much temper, but Mrs. Maxwell insisted she would make a good wife and I married her. The same aftetnoon, two hours later, T was on my wAy to Mexico. We did nct meet again till the following No- vember, when she cam®# down to Chihau- hua in ecompany with Miss Kath- erine Maxwell. She stiyed two days and then left, giving no excuse for her strange actions. 'Now I am going to sue for alien- ation of affections and the return of the money I expended. I have had private in Chihuahua a detectives on her track and have learned | enough to permit me to recover. { “I belleve if my wife was left alone that we could get on all right, but now I | am going to push the matter through the courts, and even have her arrested if T-do not get my presents and money back.’ THINKS MANTEL IS CRAZY. Wife of the Mexican Brewer Tells Why She Left Him. OAKLAND, Nov. 24.—Mrs. Evelyn Man- tel lives with a friend at 14 Capp avenue, in Fruitvale. She is a daughter of W. W. Cuthbert, foreman in the office of the Sacramento Record-Union. She preferred | that her attorney should do any talking | that was necessary in regard to her diffi- culties with her husband, but would say that she did not consider him wholly re- sponsible for his recent acts. i “‘He is certainly not in his right mind, said Mrs. Mantel. “He has threatened great many times to publish what in h1=} erratic mind he considers breaches of pro- priety on my part. He is the manager of a large brewery in Chihuahua, Mexico, | and T spent somle time there with him, | returning about a year ago. Owing to his | spiteful actions he and I did not get alon, well together. We separated and I have | not seen him now for some time. I saw him last ten days ago and I thought from | the way he talked that he had about given | up his insane ldea of wanting to publish | our troubles, but it seems he has not.” { Asa V. Mendehall, attorney for Mrs. | Mantel, said to-night: H ““Mantel treated his wife in a very cruel | and unusual manner, and we can only ac- count for his actions upon the theory that | he is crazy. Mrs. Mantel was compelled to leave him because of his treatment and is now staying with friends in Fruitvale. It is only necessary to teil of his treat- ment of his wife in one particular to show his actions. Miss Maxwell, at whose home | she is now staying. had been visiting her at her home and Mrs. Mantel decided to | return with her to visit her father. ““Mantel had the police at every town they passed through stop them and search their effects and put them to every incon- venience possible. Mr. Cuthbert, Mrs. Man- tel's father, sent them some money by check, which they tried to have cashed at El Paso, only to find that Mantel had or- dered all banks not to pay any checks to his wife. This caused more delay and annoyance. His treatment of her has been the same in all cases and she has been subjected to the most humil#ting annoyances.” RGLAR MAKES HIMSELF FELT Working the Western Addi- tion in the Guise of a Peddler. S Bl A number of daylight burglaries in the Western Additien have recently been re- ported to the police and they are satisfied the work is that of an ex-convict for whom they are looking. One_of the most daring of the lot oc- curred last Wecdnesday between 12 and 1 o'clock at the residence of Mrs. George Steckelberg, a widow at 1590 Jackson strest. Every one happened to be out of the house between those hours and one of the neighbors observed a man ring the front door bell, a minute or two and then entered the house, the neighbor thinking that some one had opened the door to admit him. He was seen to leave in a few minutes in a hurry. Mrs. Steckelberg returned shortly after 1 o'clock and sbe at once saw that there had been a visitor during her absence. She hurried to her bedroom and discov- ered that her jewel case had disappeared. The room had been thoroughly ransacked and jewelry consisting of diamond rings, bracelets and other articles valyed at about $1000 had been stolen. serg at once notified police and Detective Ross Whit- taker was detailed on the case. He made an investigation and came to the conclu- sion that the burglar had effected an entrance through the front door by means of a skeleton key. He got a description of the man who was seen ringing the front bell and decided that he was the ex-con- vict the police have been looking for. Every effort has been made to find him, but so far without success. t is supposed that the burglar is the mén who goes around pretending that he is a peddler. He watches his oppor- tunity when he sees people leu'lnf a house and makes the way clear by ring- ing the door bell. If it is’ answered he asks if anything in the shape of it or vegetables is wanted, and if not an- swered he takes the chance of no one being at home. Furs Which Interest the Ladies.

The supper room at the Palace, which | was opened for its second season two | weeks ago, has contributed in no small degree to the entertainment and conven- | ience of those who have attended the | opera, and who enjoy refreshments at the | close of an evening spent at the theater. The service is identical with that which | has made the grill rooras famous, and the | concerts each evening are worthy af sp. cial mention.
