BLINDFOLDED AND CHAINED. The moment the girl arrived opposite them one of the men sprang at her and shoved a pistol in her face, while the other dragged her from the saddle. To prevent her screaming, the brutes tied a handkerchief over her mouth, a handker- chief large enough to cover her eyes so that she could not see. Then they grabbed her by the right and left arm and walked her through the brush to the side of a brook, which is quite hidden from the road by brush and trees. There they threw her down and chained her hands behind her. The chain was short and heavy and it was secured about the girl's wrists by a padlock. The chain is the property of James Scrow, an Orinda Park farmer, but nobody has come as yet to claim the lock, though it is supposed to have been stolen from a farm. The fiends then tied the girl's feet with pleces of hay rope. This rope they cut from the neck of the horse she was rid- ing. After maltreating her terribly, her assailants went apart to determine what they could do with her. When she began to cry at one time one of the fellows salgs “What are you crying for, little girl? Soon the men returned and one said, “Let’s kill her and throw the body into the water.” “No,” sald the other, ‘“‘there’s no use dolng that; she'll die anyway.” Finally ,the men made the girl lie on her side with her face away from them and telling her not to look after them under penalty of death they slunk away and disappeared. There the girl lay night, when she was found. until 7 o'clock at She suffered excruciating agonies from the iron chains | on her wrists, which cut deep into the flesh. She struggled to release her hands, but could not. She cried at the top of her voice, but no one heard her. With the darkness came increasing terror and pain and by the time she was discovered she was nearing insanity.

AKLAND, June 11.—The two fiends who asaulted little Mary Silva, the l4-year-old schoolgirl, have so far escaped their pur- suers. All the country around Orinda Park, where the crime was com- mitted, has been closely searched by the posse of Sheriff Veale of Contra Costa | without any positive results.

Dr. Carl Grove Wilson, son of Rev. John A.-B. Wilson, has tendered his resignation to Dr. B. F. McElroy, su- perintendent of the City and County Hos- pital, where he has been one of the hos- pital staff for the past year. The cause of Dr. Wiison's resignation is that he is about to be married to Miss Clara Louise Ede, daughter of the late million- aire. The invitations are out for June 17 at the home of the bride’s mother, Mrs. Ede, at 460 Guerrero street. The young | physician has made himself very popular during the brief period in which he was connected with the City and County Hos- pital. After a sojourn in the southern part of the State with his bride he will continue his profession in this city. —e—————— Attorney for Dunsmuirs Here. A. P.

Then again the description of the men that the girl | gave us is so meager that it is like work- l ing in the dark. The girl was so ' terday morning, so that the men had time frightened that she did mot think of a description and both of the men were | careful to keep their heads turned from er. She says one was a tall man with | & black mustache and the other not so | tall, with smooth-shaven face. Well, ‘lherc might be a thousand such men and they wouldn’t be the right ones.” The girl was able to tell a coherent story to-day for the first time, a story |in which she gave a detailed account of all that happened to her on Tuesday. She has been in a state bordering on collapse since the assault, in no condition to re- | member circumstances well enough to put | them together. | As the story goes, the girl was return- ing with the mail from the Orinda Park postoffice some time during the noon hour. She was mounted on a horse. When within a half mile of her home she came near two men seated at the side of the road. She pald no attention to ALLOWS POLICE FREE INGAESS Court Holds Officers Have Right to Enter Sellinger’s Place. George Sellinger, lessee of the premises at 1129 Dupont street, is not entitled to an injunction restraining the police from entering _his place. Judge Cook so decided ~ yesterday. The decision re- leases the police from further ob- servance of the temporary restrain- ing order issued last February, when Sellinger’s suit for an injunction was filed, and gives them power to enter the place at will and make arrests. The decision seals the fate of the resort, though Sellinger has already announced ily had of the mishap to their child came with the discovery of her riderless horse. The horse is, ordinarily a docile animal, but when it came wandering home alone the parents immediately concluded that the child had been thrown and perhaps hurt or killed. Fearing the worst, the father and mother and farm hands began a search of the neighborhood. The search began at 4 o'clock and was kept up until at last one of the searchers, John Dios, found the girl on the edge of the creek. Dios was attracted by a faint cry, which he followed until it led him to the fatal spot By this time the girl was more dead than alive. Her hands were still cramp- ed behind her and her head had sunk to her knees. Tender hands bore her then to her home, where restoratives were given and she was able to make her peo- ple understand her plight. Tt was too late at the hour the girl was found to inform the authorities and that was done the following day, but by that time the flends had probably covered many miles.

In the findings signed by Cook, which are practically the same as those hereto- fore rendered by Judges Hebbard, Sea- well and Kerrigan, he holds that Sellinger is not entitled to an injunction for the reason that he did not come into court with clean hands and c&hol demand equity. In the finding are incorporated all the allegations made in the answer to Sell- inger's complaint filed by former Judge Louderback, which were to the effect that 1129 Dupont street was the entrance to a disreputable house.

EGZEMA The WDrIH'; Greatest | Skin _Tonure Many Infants are Born with Eczema I's the Only Thing Some Folks Have Left When They Die THE ONLY INFALLIBLE CURE IS CUTICURA It is in the treatment of this most dis- tressing of torturing and disfiguring skin and scalp humours, with loss of hair, that the Cuticura remedies have achieved their greatest success. Origi- nal in composition, scientifically com- pounded, absolutely pure, unchangeable in any climate, always ready, and agree- able to the most delicate, they present to those suftering from Eczema the most successful curativeof modern times. We know that this will be considered strong language by those acquainted with the character and obstinacy of the disease under consideration, but it is justified by innumerable successes where all the remedies and methods in vogue have failed to cure, and, in many cases, to relieve, even. The first step in the treatment of the chronic forms is to remove the scales and crusts and soften the skin, by warm baths with Cuticura Soap. The scalp, ears, elbows, hands, aukles and feet will require frequently a thorough soaking in order to penetrate the thickened skin and cruste with which these parts are often covered.

Stuhr, the husband of Carrie Pfeiffer Stuhr, a one-time Tivoli favorite and who was arrested a few days ago on a charge preferred by his wife of failure to provide for his minor children, filed a | suit for divorce yesterday. He charges | her with cruelty and asks the court to grant him a decree, the custody of the | two children and for an order directing | the sale of their community property and an equal division of the proceeds. According to Stuhr his wife has made his life a burden for him for fifi,\'x‘fal‘ He says she has a villain- | > knife. He she attacked him with a ls charges also that on one o threw dishes at him and that fused to cook for him. He alleges she has compelled him to give up all his earn- ings, even to his car fare. She would not | mend his clothes, he charges, and sev- eral weeks ago stole $70 he had saved | and kept In a small savings bank. A few weeks ago, he complains, she sold a | piano he had purchased and deposited the money she received for it in her own name. ; His arrest, he says, was the crowning indignity, and was brought about solely through a wish to annoy him. Stuhr says | his troubles are due to his refusal to place their home in his wife's name. He says that she has considerable money | saved from his earnings on deposit in a | local bank and he asks the court to re- | strain her from withdrawing it during the YOUNG WIFE UNHAPPY. Adelaide Metcalfe, who was married at Oakland in November, 191, is already tired of matrimony. She clalms she is an abused wife and yesterday she filed a | suit for divorce against Samuel Metcalfe. According to her complaint her troubles began in April, 191, when, she alleges, Metcalfe grasped her by . the throat, | threw her to the floor and bit her upon the arm. From that time on, she charges, | he gave way to violent fits of rage and | applied to her vile and opprobrious epi- | thets. The presence of strangers, she al- leges, did not deter him, and she therefore suffered the keenest mental agony. She also, she complains, suffered keenly in the months of June, July, August and September of last year. During these months, charges Mrs. Metcalfe, her hus- band kept company with a womad of bad reputation. One of the most peculiar suits ever filed with the County Clerk was brought yesterday. It is in the nature of a suit | for an annulment of marriage, the plain- | tiff being Frank Rossini and the defend- | ants Fred.and Jennie Cuppers. Rossini brings the suit toannul®the marriage of the Cuppers on the ground that Mrs. | Cuppers 1s his wife and that therefore | her marriage to Cuppers is illegal. | MENTALLY UNBALANCED. | The marriage occurred October 20, 1902. | At that time, alleges Rossini, the mind of Mrs. Cuppers was unsound and there- fore she knew not what she was doing when she took unto herself a second spouse without having had the bonds uniting her to the plaintift severed. Judge Sloss granted an interlocutory de- cree of divorce to Rachel Anne Baraco from Conrad Baraco because of his cruel treatment of her. He awarded her the | custody of a.minor child and $25 a month | alimony. - Baraco is an electrical con-| tractor, —_—— Prohibitionists Hold Meeting.
