'HORSE AND STAGE CONVEY ELOPERS Runaway Lovers Travel Hundreds of Miles Overland. Learn on Reaching Redding That Girl’s Father Is “ on Their Trail Special Dispatch to The Call. REDDING, April 7.—“Walt Cane and wife, Lakeview, Or.,” is the prosaic entry upon the Golden Eagle Hotel register in this city, but back of it there is a ro- mance that will interest every one who “loves a lover.” That *‘and wife” shows how angry papas and awful threats are only a joke when Cupid is in earnest; and a trip of 300 or 4% miles on horse- back, by stage or any old way is only | spice to the.romance when young folk want to wed. Walter Cane and his beautiful wite, who | was Miss Maud King until she changed ! her name in Portiana on April 4, arrived | from the north. When accused of an elopement Cane at first denied it, but finally told the whole truth. He is a pleasant young man and he has a ranch and cattle range 700 miles north of Lake- view, the Uregon woods, near Prin- ville. t Christmas he went to Lake- view to buy sheep and there he met win- some Maud King, whose tather, Wilham King, has a large ranch forty miles from Lakeview, They fell in love at sight and exchanged promises to marry. Then Father King heard about it and there was a storm. His wife is dead and his daugh- ter was his idol. He vowed that she shouid never marry Walter Cane. But love found a way. A month ago Cane mounted his horse and went north to Portland. A week later Miss King's | father let her go to Alturas to visit friends, hoping the change would cause | her to forget Cane, Of course tye young ! lady doubled on her tracks, and after a roundabout journey on horseback and ! stages she reached Portland, was met by her lover and on last Friday they were | married. Cane says his wife is 23 and old enough to know her own business. Papa King, receiving no letter from his | daughter in Alturas became suspicious | and for two weeks he has been sending | inquiries everywhere. The lovers were | safe until the delegates from: Lakeview to last week stumbled across them. Then | the word was wired to King. A friend | warned Cane and he and his bride fled | to Redding. Cane’s friend telegraphed to | this city that the old gentleman was traveling at high speed to Portland. To- night the lovers started for San Fran-| cisco. “If he doesn’t come down to-night,* sald Cane, “we’ll give him the slip for good. In two weeks he will haye cooled down. Then we'll go back and ask his | blessing.” { ACCUSED OF PAYING FOR !

GILROY, April 7.—One of the most re. markable achievements of a sensational newspaper was the publication in San Francisco to-day of the finding of two human skeletons in a box in the Southern Pacific frelght warehouse in Gilroy.

Twelve years ago a rancher named Jam- ison went East, leaving in the freight- house two boxes that he said he would send for when he wanted them shipped. These boxes were opened a few days Ag0 and two skulls and some crossbones were found on top of a lot of books. Many Gilroy residents remember having seen the skulls and crossbones in. Jamison's house, where he had used them for deco- |’ rative purposes in his library. Thus Is a. remarkable “murder mystery” exploded. —_— Charged With Murder.

NEW QUARTERS. il S Commensurate With a Rapidly In- 4 creasing Business. The employment agents, C. R. Hansen & Co., have removed from their former quarters, 104 and 106 Geary street, to their new and commodious office, 429 ‘Bush street, opposite the California Hotal. Their new offices are models of conven- lence and comfort. Entering on Bush street, the woman's department Is the first noticeable feature of the establish- ment, in which is found every facility for quickly and conveniently transacting business. Electric lights are placed at every favorable point and a special and private waiting-room for ladies is close at hand. Throughout the department the finishing of the rooms is tasteful and of- fective. At the rear of this department is found the private office of Mr. C. R. Han- sen, thoroughly equipped with every mod- er\ofllce device. Passing down a half flg It of stairs from the private office the office of the male department is reached, frenting the counter of which are rows of men eagerly discussing the possibilities of immediate employment. The main en- trance of this department is at 12 Berry street, just off of Grant avenue and about al distance from Mary lane, that runs Bush street. It will be observed that the entrance to the male department, while most convenient of approach, is entirely separate from the female de- partment, and yet as easily accessible to the proprietor as the latter. The male department has been carefully arranged to suit the comfort and con- venience both of owner and patron. The sitting-room will comfortably seat from four to five hundred men. ’%he busine; of this firm was established in 1876 by C. R. Hansen, who has been continuous- ly_agsoclated with it ever since. Branch offices are maintained in Los Angeles, Portland and Ogden.

The sale is to be given in order to raise money with which to pay off a mortgags on. a lot owned by the nursery in the Richmond district. The nursery has. out- grown its present location and is badly in need of a more commodious home, and as, soon as this mortgage is liquidated the managers intend to commence the erection of a new nursery, that will be capable of accommodating all of the city’'s little homeless waifs who may appeal to them for shelter. » The mortgage on the | property amounts to $2000, and the man- agers of the nursery intend to commence the raising of that” sum by holding this rummage sale. The sale itself will be one of the most | extensive of its kind ever held in this' city. The ladies have been gathering contributions for several months past, ! and they promise that they will have | enough on hand to stock a small-sized de- partment store.

REDWOOD CITY, April 7.—An ordi- nance to license in San Mateo County the selling of pools and bookmaking on horseraces or contests of skill or powcr | of endurance was passed this afternoon by the Board of Supervisors at its regu- lar mcenthly meeting. The ordinance was introduced by Supervisor Eikerencotter and was sec- onded by Supervisor Debenedetti. Chair- man McEvoy was strongly opposed to it and a spirited debate followed its intro- duction. Supervisors Coleman and Mc- Cormick did not take part in the debate. The ordinance was finally passed by the votes of Supervisors Eikerencotter., Debenedetti and McCormick, while Mc- Evoy and Coleman voted in the negative. After the vote was announced Chair- man McEvoy changed his vote from the negative to the affirmative- and gave notice of a motion to reconsider the vote at the next meeting of the board. Eiker- encotter made a motion, seconded by Debenedetti, that the reconsideration take place at once, but McEvoy refused to recognize their motion and closed the session. Eikerencotter, McCormick and Debenedetti now assert that inasmuch as McEvoy changed his mind after the vote had been announced, his notice of a re- consideration was illegal and will not stand. The ordinance provides for a yearly li- cense of $1200 to be paid by all persons cm-rymid on the business of poolselling in ‘San Mateo County. The general opin- fon here is that the vote on the ordinance | will not be changed at the next meeting of the board. Down-Coast Points Get Rain.

A number of the nurses who have graduated from the City and County Hospital Training School for Nurses met yesterday at their Alma Mater and or- ganized an Alumnae Association. The young -ladies, whose vocation it is to minister to the sick, have had the form- ation of this society under consideration for some time past. It was formed both for Lusiness and social reasons. nurses intend that it shall furnish them protection against nurses who have noc taken the trouble to compiete the course of instruction in the full ass- ing themselves off as full-fliedged Night- ingales. ‘The new society was launched under the most favorable conditions, and a large percentage of the graduate nurses have either affixed their signatures to the membership role or else have signi- fied their intention of becoming mem- bers. The local association will soon make application to be admitted to mem- bership in the National. Alumnae Asso- clation. The new soclety will hold a regula- meeting on the first Monday of each month, when papers on the science of nursing and also on timely topics will be read. Miss Mary Patton, the head nurse at the City and County Hospital, acted as chief organizer of the new society. Miss Amy Hart had the honor of being elected the first president, while Miss Jennie Nickson is vice president, Miss Belle Espeset is treasurer and Miss Mary F. Strand is secretary. At soms ~future date when the association be- comes stronger both in membership and fin finance, the nurses intend to construct a home; that is unless some charitably disposed person presents them with one in the meantime. ; Brings in Live Coyotes. REDDING, April 7.—County Clerk Blodgett was surprised to-day when Carl Pearson, a young man of Upper Stll- water, appeared before him with the hide of a mother coyote and a litter of cight young ones, alive, but not yet old enough to have their eves open. He sought the bounty of $2 50 aplece that the county pays on coyote hides. The young man killed the mother coyote near his home and brought in the whining pups without destroying them. The Clerk was forced to have him kill and skin the ani- mals before warrants could be issued for their hides. In Danger of Collapse.

Spectal Dispateh-to The Call BENICIA, April 7.—Several small fires have occurred here lately, most of them being the burning of old and vacated buildings, and it was believed they were | started by tramps. It is now known the fires were caused by a half-witted man named Joseph King, who does odd jobs about town. A This morning at about 3 o’cldck, while a bigh wind was blowing, the fire bell began ringing and the residents, aroused from their slumbers, found that a barn in the neighborhood of King's dwelling was ablaze. The volunteer fire depart- ment arrived in time to prevent the flames spreading to the neighboring houses. “Crazy Joe,” as he is called, was at the scene of the blaze, half intoxicated, and, pon being questioned, admitted that he Rfld started the fire “just to have a little excitement.” It is now known that he ‘was the originator of the fire last Thurs- day evening, when one of the old houses belonging to the Laughlan estate was burned, and that he started several smail blazes which have occurred recently. King seems to have a special penchant for fires, as he has upon slight provoca- tion threatened several times to set fire to the places of business men against whom he had a grudge. On account of his mental condition, he probably will be sent to an asylum. KILL A CATTLE THIEF; CAPTURE SIX OTHERS Arizona Im-nu;an Bring in En- tire'Gang of Rustlers on Eagle Creek.
