ANDERSON WANTS HIS FURNITURE to Be Rid of His Ex- 5 pensive Wife. —— | | Will Stand the Loss of His Money, ! but Insists That His House- hold Goods Be Re- turned. —_— Charles J. Anderson, a Klondike mil- lionaire, says he back,” and with that end in view he ap- peared before Judge Conlan yesterday and swore out a search warrant for his property, which he claims has been stolen. On the Sth of March Anderson lost his wife through the medium of the divorce court. When the legal separation was granted it was decided that the husband should have the home located at 721 Ash- bury street and all its gorgeous fur- nishings. On Saturday, when Anderson | | went to take possession of the house, he found it in a condition not calculated to inspire thoughts of home comforts. All the furniture was gone, the linen had disappeared, the china and glass closets were empty and the pictures no longer adorned the walls. All that remained in the house were a couple of beds, the car- pets on the floors and a silver-plated tea- | spoon. Anderson believed that his ex- wife, with the assistance of ‘“‘Captain” Morgan, her brother-in-law, had had the furniture removed to 528 Golden Gate ave- nue. But when with the aid of a police officer he made his search yesterday aft- ernoon he found there but a few towels and sheets, a couple of forks and spoons and a bronze cuckoo clock. The Klon- diker will continue his search to-day. Anderson is the owner of several valu- able claims in the Klondike, and his name is good on ’change for a sum not exceed- ing a unit and six ciphers. In June, 1899, he wooed and won Drum- i |mond, “an “actress,” with her sisters was doing a turn at the Dawson Varfety Theater. It was a hasty wooing and progressed with unusual rapidity, aided by the encouraging tinkle of the gold nuggets Anderson flung at the feet of the charmer. At the end of six days of wedded bliss Grace Anderson sud- denly discovered that the severity of a son winter would mean loss of health er, and her doting husband let her come to this city to remain until summer came round again. Grace asked for $16,- 000 for her traveling expenses and she got it. She came to town, bought things and asked for more money. This Interesting programme was kept up until the lady | had obtained about $150,000 of her millfon- | aire husband’'s Klondike gold, and then she brought suit for a divorce. The di- vorce was granted on the Sth of March, and Anderson says that when he gets his furniture back he is done with Actress Grace Drummond forever. “I'm glad to be rid of the woman,” said the Klondike millionaire. “All I want now is my furtniture back. She got more money out of me than I dare tell, but I have still some left and am going back in the spring to the Klondike and will no doubt make more. My ex-wife is not in town. She has gone down to Los Angeles, where she is known once more as Grace | Drummond.” | @ iririmieeieeiorionlonle fofooesfofoefoeforifenionfe @ BOARD APPEALS FROM DECISION Refuses to Obey Court Order to Reinstate Married Teacher. < i The Board of Education yesterday de- clined to accept the decision of the Su- perior Court ordering the reinstatement | of Mrs. Mary Mead Morrissey to her posi- | tion in the department.
