Speclal Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, May 14.—After twice marry- ing and twice divorcing her first husband Mrs. Anna L. Folger of Stockton to-day secured temporary possession of her daughter, Inid Place, aged 6 years, who has been in the custody of her father since the second separation of her parents. Next Monday the Superior Court will give a hearing to the parents to de- termine which shall have permanent cus- tody of the child. Under an order signed by Judge Chap- man, Sheriff Denholm to-day secured the child from Mrs. Osborn, who has been boarding her at the expense of the child's father.

A very happy reunion of the mother and child took place in the Sher- if's office after he had executed the court’s order. Mrs. Folger married Edward R. Place in this State nine years ago. In 1868 she secured a divorce. Later a reconciliation as effected and the couple remarried at Everett in December, 190.

IDAHD BANDIT 085 A STAGE Escapes With Contents of Registered Mail Sack. BOISE, Idaho, May 14.—The stage which left Bolse this morning for Idaho City was held up to-day by a masked high- wayman & mile and a half beyond the half-way house. The passengers were compelled, at the point of a rifle, to sur- render their valuables and the registered mail sack was rified. The lone highway- man then retreated to the hills and dis- appeared. The stage had reached the mouth of Muller Gulch, when the highwayman stepped from the brush, with a rifle in his hands, and commanded the driver to stop. Charles Sullivan, the driver, was ordered to throw out all the mail sacks. The highwayman quickly ripped open the registered sack and pocketed the con- tents. He did not touch the other pouches. He then turned his attention to the passengers, whom he lined up and or- dered to hand over their valuables. He obtained only $1 in money and a rifle. The passengers were greatly excited and no good description of the bandit could be obtained from them. Sheriff Ag- new and his deputy officlals of this coun- ty have joined the Sheriff of Boisé County in pursuit of the robber. Postmaster Fen- ton of Boise, Inspector Ball and two guards from the penitentiary, with blood- hounds, also are on the trail. ——————————— ‘Wireless Plant for Farallones.

VAST CONCOURSE VIEWS BLAZE OF BEAUTY SING NIGHT OF V ISIT THE UNITED STATES. o ST ON GREAT NORTHERN Company and Men Ar- rive at Satisfactory Agreement. ST.- PAUL, Minn., May 14.—All danger of g strike on the Great Northern Rail- way system has passed and an amfcable agreement between the company and its trainmen has been reached, the schedules having been signed shortly after 5 o'clock this afternoon. Both sides made conces- slons, although on the face of the terms of compromise, as stated by A. B. Gar- retson, the assistant grand conductor of the Order of Rallway Conductors, the men have somewhat the better of it. They are granted an Increase of wages which averages 15 per cent, dating from March 1; the yard men get the Chicago scale, which is 3 cents an hour higher than the St. Paul scale; new men are given in- creased wages after one year's service, instead of five, as proposed by the com- pany. On the double-header question, which was the cause of the deadlock in the ne- gotiations, the men modified their de- mands to a slight degree. East of Minot, according to the agreement, the road may run one-half of 1 per cent of the grnsi mileage as double-headers. On the moun tain divisions, west of Minot, 2.3 per cent of the gross mileage is allowed to be dou- ble-headers. But In computing the per- centage of double-headers helper engines must be included. Garretson, on behalf of the men, ex- pressed himself as extremely well pleased with the result of the negotiations. President J. J. Hill, who has been mak- ing a tour of the Mesaba range, arrived home shortly after the signing of the agreement with the men, and said he was very glad that an arrangement had been reached, and that a strike had been averted.

Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, May 14—The World has the following from Pittsburg: It is ad- mitted here that the Earl of Yarmouth created a disgraceful scene during the de- lay that preceded his making Miss Alice Thaw his bride. The Earl had determined upon what he deemed a proper pecuniary settlement, which had been denied to him, and decided upon a coup at a vital mo- ment. While the guests to the wedding waited in church, the Earl announced that he could not agree to the settlement which alrcady had been drawn up by the law- yers and would decline to marry Miss Thaw unless his own proposition was ac- cepted. His demand was for $10,000 a year for himself, double what had been deter- mined upon, and that the entire fortune of Miss Thaw should go to the Hertford estate instead of to her own family upon her death without children. A family council was called and Mrs. Thaw, who feared the scandal of a post- ponement of the wedding at that hour, acceded to the demands of the Earl. The necessary legal papers were drawn up and executed and then the Earl announced that he was ready for the ceremony.

Men, women and children wers out, as though for a holiday, and they walked for hours up and down the middle of the roadwa to the distraction of motormen and drivers of vehicles. The greatest throng was in the neigh- borhood of the electrio court of honor at the junction of Market and Third streets, attracted by the beauty of the display and music of the brass band that was playing in the stand at Lotta’s fountain. The crowd was good natured, but not noisy, and amused itself by walking up and down and enjoying the beauty of the scene.

At the Market-street ferry when the President went to go on board the boat to take his train on the Oakland mole for the Yosemite Valley, several thousand people welcomed him with cheers and “Good-by, Mr. President.” @ sivimimiviiniei il - @ NOTE EXPLAING NARDNIC'S FATE Writer Hints That In- fernal Machine Sank Ship.
