Willlam Young, the young married man who stole a bicycle in Golden Gate Park Wednesday afternoon because he and his wife were starving, has fallen into the hands of friends. Yesterday morning At- cific Company called at the City Prison | and saw Young and his wife, Mrs. Young the night there. Kelly said he had been commis- sioned by some charitably disposed people to find out if the young couple was de- serving of assistance and they would de- fray any expenses toward supporting them till a position was obtained for the husband. Lawrence Smith, 1308 Hayes street, owner of the stolen wheel, was at the Hall of Justice ready to swear to a com- plaint against Young, but after Kelly had a talk with him he was willing to take no action against him if the police advised him that way. Kelly, accompanied by Young and his wife and Smith, waited upon Captain Sey- mour, and Kelly explained the position of affairs and asked that Young be given a chance to show his manhood. Smith said that he had no desire to prosecute Youns, and as he had not been booked for the offense the captain allowed him to go with a friendly admonition to keep him- Young and hiz wife were then taken by made to provide them with a home, and every effort will be made to procure a sit- uation for the husband so that he can | properly support his wife till she is out of her trouble.

Joseph P. Junk’s father, who is rated as one of the richest brewers in Chicago, has settled the sum of $10,000 upon his daughter-in-law, a former San Francisco actress, in consideration of her agreeing to relinquish all claims on his son. Some time ago young Junk, while on a visit here, married Miss Lottle Devereaux and when he returned to Chieago with his act- ress bride his wealthy parent vented his anger by separating the couple at once. Mrs. Junk returned to this city and soon received notice from Chicago that divorce papers were being prepared. She consult- ed an attorney and yesterday the settle- ment was made. The young man may now get his divorce without opposition. —_— e Bekins Van and Storage Co. will ship your goods at reduced rates. 630 Market street. * ————————————— Found Wandering in the Park.

Karns, after searching for his wife and the man she eloped with for eighteen months, located them at 35 South Park Thursday night, soon after he had arrived her from Solomon, Kans. He se- cured a warrant yesterday from Judge Cabanlss for the arrest of his wife, Mrs. Minnie Karns, and Arthur T. Davis. Karns is a member of the Brotherhood of Railway Tralnmen and lived with his wife at Solomon, Kans. They had been married about nine years, when, in Sep- tember, 1900, she deserted him. - A few days before this occurred Arthur T. Da- vis, who lived in a town a few miles from Solomon, degerted his wife and five young children, and Karns, owing to the friend- ship that existed between his wifa and Davis, suspected that she had gone to Jjoin him. He made diligent inquiry and located | 1 | them at the Needles, Cal, where they were living as husband and wite. Mrs. Karns had taken away with her ~Karns' policy of life insur- ance and other papers, among them his certificate as a member of the brotherhood, and Davis had been passing himself off as Karns, thereby securing employment as a trainman. Karns wired to have them arrested and it was done, but Davis showed the certificate belong- ing to Karns and asserted that he was Karns, defying the authorities to prov the contrary. Karns hurried to t Needles, but to his chagrin discovered that the couple had been released and had | ed. Karns -continued his search and notified all the branches of the order of trainmen that Davis was personating him and ask- ed that he be advised if Davis should | make his appearance seeking for employ- ment. Karns was notified some days ago that a man representing himself as Karns had called at the office of the local branch here and was living at 35 South Park. He | at once started for this city and arrived Thursday night. Detectives Crockett and _Coleman went with Karns to 35 South Park with the warrants and Davis and Mrs. Karns were there. As soon as Karns saw his wife he burst into tears and told- Davis that he alone was to blame for the trouble. He and Davis stepped into a room anu had a short conversation. after which Karns told the officers he did not want the war- rants served, but the couple were takea to the City Prison and booked. Both Da- vis and the woman declined to make any statement. JANITOR WATTS IS KILLED IN AN ELECTRIC ELEVATOR Daniel Watts, janitor of the building at 602 California street, was instantly killed vesterday morning by being crushed in the elevator. The dead body was found shortly after § o'clock tightly wedged between the fourth and fifth floors. In | the cage were the buckets, brooms and cloths used by Watts in his cleaning work. The unfortunate man was alone at the time of the accident,’ and there is no positive knowledge as to the manner in which he came to his death. The elevator is operated by means of electricity, and there are two theories as to the cause of the accident, one that the elevator may have been out of order and that Watts may have been knocked down by an electric shock, or that he became dizzy or faint and fell to the floor of the cage. The body was so tightly wedged between the cage and the floor that it was necessary to employ a gang of work- men to release it. After the body- had been removed and the elevator started for the fifth floor the electriclan In charge received a shock of 210 volts when he placed his hand on a portion of the metal work about the lever. Watts resided with his wife at 108 O'Farrell street. An inquest will be held. Electrician C. D. Griffiths of the Depart- ment of Electricity examined the elevator and informed Deputy Coroner Brown that it was “leaky. B — Burglars Rob Cigar Store.
