He immedi- | ately went to call on his better half, and, it is said, she didn’'t have even a stage | kiss for him. Then Wilkerson was told by somebody. so it is sald, that Winfield Blake was pay- ing attentions to his wife. Later on Wilk- erson appeared the theater with a gun, which Mr. Fischer took charge of for { | turned from a theatrical tour, was wait- | him. |ing for his wife outside the pl On Wednesday night, so it is said, Wilk. erson went to Fischer's, just as the per- | tformance was over, and waited for Maude She finally came | to put in an appearance. out and he approached her and demanded an_interview. he fair one refused to talk to him.

The stage man- ager announced to the audience that Blake was detained In Oakland and would be unable to appear. Blake's part was taken by one of the male members of the chorus. Wilkerson took up his vigil outside the theater, just as he had done on the pre- | vious night. Miss Amber came out when | the show was over and the same scene | was enacted again. Officer Pearl happened to be on hand and he again escorted the fair actress to her abode. It is sald that Miss Amber intends to in- stitute divorce proceedings. | e e e e o Y ) T0 CARRY LOOT The untiring efforts of Policeman James O’'Connor are responsible for the arrest of three men who, it Is alleged, are re- sponsible for a number of daring bur- glaries recently committed at North Beach. Last night Andrew O’Keefe and Thomas Shea were taken into custody and their names placed on the detinue book at the Central police station. Louis de Martini, who completes the trio, was arrested three days ago and charged with petty larceny tommitted at another time. All three will be charged with burglary this morning. | Several days ago the three men now under arrest entered Cevelll's brewery at | 615 Francisco street and made their es- cape with about $100 worth of- beer and porter. They used a horse and wagon Two nights later the same men are said to have en- tered a livery stable on Bay street, near Stockton, and as a result of their visit a horse, wagon and much hay and grain were missing next morning. The daring thieves, after entering the stable from the rear, made preparations to haul away whatever they might steal. They took a horse from one of the stalls and hitched it to a wagon. The latter they loaded with graln and hay and, opening one of the doors, drove away and disposed of what they had stolen. Officer O'Connor has been on the trail of the thieves since the night of the first crime. He was placed on special duty by the Chief of Police, and last night suc- ceeded in locating two of the principal | offenders. The officer believes the men are respon- sible for a number of other burglaries re- cently committed in the northern section of the city and this morning expects to secure additional evidence ggainst them. Joseph Lynch, and William Campbell were also arrested last night by Detec- tive O’Dea and placed in the “tanks” at the Central police station. It is alleged that the men have recently robbed sev- eral carpenter shops throughout the city and taken tools and.material valued at several hundred dollars. | others.

Postof- fice Inspector James O'Connell has been detailed on the case and the matter has been lald before the Federal Grand Jury. On December 27 two men bought postal money orders, eighteen in all, from sub- station No. 19, corner of Fifth and Fol- som streets; sub-station No. 13, 1941 Mis- sion street, and sub-station No. 17, 137 Seventh street. These money orders called for small sums ranging from 15 cents to 2 cents and were made payable to large mail order houses in Chicago and to min- ing companies in Cripple Creek and other places in Colorado. The sharpers, by the use of chemicals, erased the date of issue, name of payee, the amount and the name of the paying office and substituted The amounts were raised to $30 and $35 and they were made payable to Henry Collins. The ralsed orders were first - left in Fresno. On January 3 the forgers bought small quantities of goods from retailers in that town, giving the orders in pay- ment and receiving the balance in money. Three of the orders were disposed of in that way. A few days later five of ihe orders were traded to merchants in Los Argeles under similar conditions. In- spector O’'Connell says the eragures and alterations on the orders have been made s0 skillfully that they cannot be detect- ed with a magnifying glass. The following description of the men has Leen circulated: One is about five feet | six inches tall, has dark complexion, iron gray hair, smooth face and weighs 140 pounds. He wore a light-colored overcoat and a light fedora hat and was about 15 years of age, The other was of about the same height, weighed about 130 pounds and was about 25 years of age. He was of dark complexion, smooth shaved and :ore a black sack suit and black derby at. Drunken Italian Runs Amuck. SANTA ROSA, Jan. 8.—N. Bianchini at- tempted to stab P.

When the case was called the eight re- maining jurors were selected and just before the noon adjournment, Ashe made his opening statement. He reviewed the circumstances that led up to the shoot- ing, admitting that Stoll and Blake quar- reled about Blake attending to a private patient when patients of the firm wers waliting; that Blake pulled off his coat and wanted Stoll to & outside and settle the matter; that Blake led the way to the hall and Stoll started to follow him, but changed his mind and went back to his ate office; that Blake followed him o his private room and attempted to renew the quarre!, when Stoll picked up_a revolver from his k, pointed it at Blake and warned him to go away or 1 shoot him; that Blake then left private room and crossed the hall to the laboratory, where he got a wz man’s club, returned to the opera saying to Dr. Nixon, “come on 1 take the gun from him striking him in the breast , the second in the hip and th: aft ke fell; that Blake he was shot that to take the revol- to club him. .JUDGE ORDERS ACQUITTAL.

The Supreme Court, in an opinion ren- dered yesterday, directed that the Man- hattan Life Insurance Company be com- pelled to pay $5000 to Maria T. Rogers on a policy issued to her deceased husband. The insurance people maintained that Rogers had not vet died. The deceased sailed from this port for Port Harford on the Santa Rosa, June 9, 1897. He was seen about the shio that night, but on the following morning he had disappeared.
