WHITE, THE CATTLE KING, DESERTS HIS WIFE AT BIDDING OF SPIRITS Aged Capitalist the Defendant in Divorce Suit That Recalls How He Found a Pretty MOISANT GAFE AGROS3 BORDER He Reaches Me_xico and Makes Extradition Necessary. b il Friends Ridicule Charges of Embezzlement and Kidnaping. e e John B. Moisant, who is accused by R. Dannmeyer, superintendent of the Crown Distilleries Company, of having purloined bonds valued at $1200 and of kidnaping his son, Stanley Moisant, is safe in Mex- Yesterday evening Captain Seymour, chief of detectives, received the following dispatch from El Paso, Tex.: Moisant left train at Smelter, Tex. Men are across Rio Grande River looking for him. J. H. WHITE, Chief of Police. Captain Seymour places little faith in the charge of felony embezzlement sworn to by Dannmeyer, but was obliged to take steps to arrest Moisant after a warrant had been issued by Judge Cabaniss. The friends of Moisant declare that Dann- meyer is assisting Mrs. Moisant to get her husband within the jurisdiction of Cali- fornia in order that he might be served with divorce papers. Investigation showed yesterday that on February 8 Mrs. Moisant filed suit in the Superior Court for divorce, alleging ex- treme cruelty and asking for alimony in the sum of $200 per month. _Attorney O'Callaghan is the lawyer for Mrs. Moi- sant. He also acted for Dannmeyer in the proceedings charging Moisant with felony embezzlement. Dannmeyer positively re- fuses to give the address of Mrs. Moisant to the police, and Attorney O’Callaghan claims that he does not know where she is living. It is known, however, that Mrs. Moisant is residing with her mother in this city and in the past few days has consuited Dannmeyer, who is her uncle, and has also visited her attorney’s office. Ridicules Charge of Felony. A well-known attorney, who is a friend of Moisant, sald yesterday: *If Moisant comes back here he will do so of his own free will, and I will probably act for him. This story of feleny embdBzlement is all bosh. Moisant has not stolen any bonds of Dannmeyer and he has not kidnaped his child. His wife refused to live in the Republic of Salvador with him and Moi- sant has kept her well supplied with money. He sent her $200 last January, and on February 8 she filed suit for divorce. She charged him with extreme cruelty and asks for $200 per month alimony. “Judge Sloss made an order on the day the suit was filed that publication be made of the suit in the Recorder, as the best paper likely to give Moisant notice of the action. Moisant read of the suit in The Call and came back from Salvador this month. His wife did not mention her suit when her husband called on her, but he kept posted as to her intentions. When he found that her attorney intended to serve the divorce papers on him he made preparations to go back to Salvador and told his friends so. He took his little boy with him, as he is devotedly attached to the child. Moisant has interests in salt mines in Salvador and wants his wife to live there with him. She tried it for a time | and then came back to San Francisco. “If Mrs. Moisant wanted to have her husband arrested for kidnaping her child she would certainly not have kept in hid- tives keep her address secret.” Divorce Filed in February Last. The records of the County Clerk's office show that Mrs. Moisant filed suit for di- vorce from her husband on February 8, as stated above, and asked for alimony in the sum of $200 per month, counsel fees and the custory of the child, Stanley Mol- sant. The little town of Smelter, Tex., where Moisant left the train on Monday night, is a_few miles west of El Paso and close to the Mexican border. Moisant would have but little trouble in reaching the Mexican Central Railroad and continuing his journey to Salvador. He resides in the town of Soustani in the Central American republic, where he located in 1896, a year after his marriage. If Dannmeyer desires to bring Moisant back to this city and to press the charge of felony embezzlement, it will be a mat- ter of extradition by the Federal Govern- ment through the Secretary of State. Petitions in Insolvency. Creditors of the Pacific Phosphate Com- pany of Alameda County petitioned the United States District Court yesterday to declare the firm an involuntary insolvent. The petition alleges that the company owes Edward Barry $855, C. S. Goodman $60 and E. C. Chapman $250, and that it committed an act of insolvency by allow- ing A. B. Patrick & Co. to get judgment against it for $308. B. L. Moran, as an individual and as a member of the extinct firm of Moran Brothers of Santa Cruz, has filed a peti- tion in insolvency.

ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., 100 WILLIAM BTREET, NEW YORK. Bride Through a Marriage Bureau EORGE E. WHITE, the Valley Cattle King,”” has deserted his young and pretty wife, Louise, “Round and she has instituted suit for absolute divorce. Mrs. White filed her sult yesterday afternoon, alleging de- sertion as cause of action. While Mrs. ‘White is preparing her case, her aged husband, who, through the advice of spir- its, it is said, is about to emerge from his third matrimonial venture, is marshaling his force about his purse, which is a large one, and his force has responded to the call with avidity. The fact that he is about to lose his wife is not particularly displeasing to him, for the voice from the spirit world, which he says led him to the altar, has again whispered its advice, and this advice has robbed his wife of his love. . His Third Venture. Many years_rgo White took unto him- self a wife. Not long after the wedding she died and for some time the aged cap- italist lived alone. Finally he married his niece, but this marriage proved to be un- happy. A decree of divorce was procured by the second Mrs. White and the fight for his property began. He refused to heed the various orders for the payment of alimony issued by the court and finally he was thrown into jail for contempt. Then he decided to compromise and, after freeing himself from jail and all demands of the second Mrs. White, he returned to his Round Valley home. Soon he became lonesome and decided to again marry. The spirits had always.advised him well in business, so io their mystic forms he poured out his confession that. all he needed to make him happy was some one to love. The spirits hearkened to his story and pointed to the path that leads to J. MENDOCINO CATTLE KING AND THE WIFE WHOM HE THINKS TOO EXPENSIVE. e Benjamin's marriage bureau. The fact that White was looking for a wife was circulated by the industrious Benjamin, but among all that sought his hand there was but one for him, then Miss Louise Bogan, who resided at 810 Tehama street. Marries in Haste. Miss Bogan had known her R‘fed suitor but a short time when the wedding was arranged. He was an ardent lover and an energetic man for his years. His beard was kept a shining black with a_liberal use of dye, ani in the fire of his love he strutted about with all the vigor of a youth. His blazing dlamonds and fre- quent and costly presents captivated the young lady, and when a wedding trous- seau was suggested the aged lover looked to it. The bride stood beside him before the minister in a rustling white silk gown, which showed her pretty figure to ad- vantage. Rev. Dr. Cryor, the pastor of the Westminster Presbyterian Church, 1pxesléformed the ceremony on February 16, Miss Anna Hannon was the bridesmaltd, and the maid of honor was Miss Kate Elphinston. John P. Bogan, the brother of the bride, supported the groom. Only a few friends of the bride were present at the ceremony. There was a breakfast af- ter the ceremony had been performed and | then the newly married couple took the train for Los Angeles. 'rhey toured around the southern part of the State for a time, crossed over into Mexico and then came home. Quarrel Over Furniture. Mrs. White knew of her husband’'s wealth and as she, a pretty girl of 22, had given up her life, as she then thought, to a man past 70 and whose whiskers, in the vernacular of the street, were paintéd, she believed it only right to raise her liv- ing expenses to an amount commensurate with her station in life. She hence pur- chased a set of furniture and here the row began. White could see no object in purchasing furniture. Then spirits whis- pered more advice. They pointed out that Mrs. White was extravagant, that she had started on the trail that leads to financial ruin. So finally, Mrs. White al- leges, her husband deserted her and hence she demands a decree of divorce. In ad- dition to a divorce, Mrs. White asks for alimony in the sum of $150 a month and a judgment for counsel fees and costs of | action.. It is Mrs. White's prayer for ali- mony against which White will make his fight, though his last attempt to evade| the process-of court may yet be fresh in his memory and have a quieting effect upon his combative instinct, which is al- ways awakened when money is the issue.

Lot Millionaire “Bfll” Bradbury is again in trouble, brought about, it is claimed in a suit filed yesterday against him by A. G. Carswell and A. A. Carothers, by actions on his part fully as accentric as any others that have lately brought him into notor- fety. Carswell and Carothers have been conducting ths apartment house at 1401 Van Ness avenue, which Is owned by Bradbury, but they claim he has broken p thelr Business, for which they demand A damages. They say that shortly after they took the house, in January last, Bradbury, as- sisted by one Daniel O'Connor, for the purpose of compelling the plaintiffs to va- cate the premises, began to create loud and peculiar disturbances around the house and make noise enough for a boiler fac- tory. Not saiisfled that this conduct would have the desired effect, the plain- tiffs say Bradbury and O'Connor would stand on the street and ogle at guests of the house, annoy them in other ways and again attempt to intimidate them. This conduct finally broke up their business, the plaintiffs claim, and hence they de- mand judgmen: as stated. Bradbury will haye another trouble on his mind to-day. A warrant was sworn out yesterday charging him with falling to put proper plumbing into a building at the corner of gran Ness avenue and Cali- fornia street, owned by him. He will be arrested this morning. —_—————————— Abraham Lincoln. The ladies of the Trinity Presbyterian Church, corner Twenty-third and Capp streets, bave engaged Rev. G. L.

In a quiet and unostentatious manner “Lotta,” or Miss Carlotta Crabtree, left the train at Oaklang on the night of her arrival and yesterday morning went to | Belvedere to visit friends. It is some years since the talented little | lady, who has made millions laugh, was in California, where she made the start in ! her career that has brought her fame and | fortune. ‘‘Lotta” is reputed to be worth | $3,000,000, the bulk of which is invested m | giltedge real estate. 3 | Miss Crabtree was born in New York City on November 7. 1847, her father be- ing a bookseller on Nassau street. When the discovery of gold in this State was | Leralded to the world Mr. Crabtree crossed the plains with his family to Cal- ifornia. He did not get rich and his wife joined a variety company which was touring the State. Her daughter, when eleven years old, appeared at Petaluma as Gertrude in “The Loan of a Lover” and scored a big success. In the theaters of San Francisco little “Lotta™ became a great favorite and the hardy miners showered gold nuggets on the footlight favorite. It was not uncommon for ‘“Lot- ta” to pick up $1000 worth of nuggets and gold dust during an evening’s perform- ance. In 1864 she went to New York and ap- peared+ in spectacular productions and when she played in “Little Nell” and “The @ teiimintimie el @ TREADWELL AND SYLVA FIGHT IN OPEN COURT Friends of Attorneys Join in Combat and Disturb the.
