Four years ago the couple sepa- rated and a few days later the woman married her present husband. Aftér her daughter’s martiage, Mrs. Loring continued to live in the old family home on Sacramento street, where the neighbors gossiped about her eccentici- ties and wondered at her hermit-like life. About three years ago Mrs. Loring disap- pearéd, and after a reasonable time had elapsed an attempt was made to have her declated legally dead. Unexpectedly, however, she reappeared and it then de- veloped that she had spent most of the time in a New York hospital and in Ger- many. She became involved in numerous financial difficulties owver properties and also lost. considerable money in the Mid- winter Fair, where she owned an interest in a concession. BUILDS CASTLE LORING. Several years ago in Oakland she was the central figure in long continued liti- gatlon over the erection of a rambling pavilion in the Piedmont hills opposite Piedmont Springs Park, known as Castle Loring. It was built out of odds and ends from the Midway palaces of the Midwinter Fair. \ The- widow owned the site upon which she s\}rler‘ the structure, intending that it should be a beer garden and concert hall. But before the building was com- pleted, the exclusive residents of the Piedmont district opened fire on the pro. ject and declared that the edifice should not be used for such purposes. Mrs, Loring persisted and the litigation ensued, She fought for monfhs, while the weath- er-beaten castle began to decay and its unsightly boards to fall away. Mrs. Loring always insisted that her place was in danger of summary destruc- tion. Shortly after her return to the State after her mysterious disappearance the castle took fire one night and was de- stroyed. Mrs. Loring was famous as an artist, and in her house are many valuable paintings from her own brush.

READY TO FIGHT FOR THE ESTATE Putative Widow of Wal- ter W. Watrous Will File Contest. Says She Will Be Able to Establish Her Marriage to the Deceased. AT Special Dispatch to The Call, NEW YORK, Jugg 23.—For the posses- | sion of the estate left by Walter W. Wat- rous, who died suddenly last Sunday morning in Atlantic City, a bitter contest scems to be inevitable. His relatives have a will that was drawn not long be- | fore ‘the death of Watrous. It may not be filed for probate for a few days in order that the woman who asgerts that | $he Is the widow may indicate what course she will take. “Mrs Watrous,” who has been known until now as Mrs. Ballou, has announced tuat she stands ready to prove that she was married in | regular manner to Watrous, and she has | intimated that she has a will that was drawn later than the one in the pos sion of the family and she will offer it | for probate. “Mrs, Watrous” and her sis ter, Mrs. Maude J. Spencer of San Fran- | cisco, left New York to-night, announcing | that they will be gone at least.4 week. It | is understood that they have returned to Atlantic City and from a friend of the | women it was learned that a contest will | be begun in New Jersey. where the al- | | leged marriage ceremony took place and where Watrous died. In the family home at 352 avenue the funeral ceremonies were held this afternoon. “Mrs. Watrous" was pres- | ént and. though she sat near the hody of | the man she claims was her husband, she | Wwas not recognized as a mourner nor as the “widow.” Her grief was poi ant and even those who fe¢l that she has not adopted the right course were con- vinced that she was not acting. There | were no sensational incidents at the | funeral, which was tmpressive in its sim- | plicity.

When that law was passed practically for the purpose of getting Dan Kevane out of office, it was given out that Gover— nor Pardee had promised to appoint Colonel Wright of Sacramento and Bar ham as members of the new board. Wright has since died. Those who are opposed to Barham have told the Gov- ernor that the present state administra- tion owes Barham nothing, for the rea- son that he would not now be a factor in state politics but for his nacy with the Gage men, and by appointing him it would simply be perpetuating the polit- ical standing of that wing of the Repub- lican party. Barham is a Democrat and has never had any banking experiénce. Great pressure is being brought to bear by the Los Angeles Republicans who were behind Tom Flint &t the last Republican state convention to prevent any recogni- tion of the Gage faction. With them it is a case of anything to defeat Barham, and they are urging the claims of the Herman Silver, formerly president of the Los Angeles City Council, for the place. Silver was formerly director of the Denver mint, anditor of the Denver and Rio Grande Railway, receiver for a division of the Santa Fe and later treas- urer of the Southern California Rallway. He was commissioner general at the Vienna exposition for this country under President Grant and has been in public life for forty years, Friends of Steven Kelly, of San Bern- ardino, are demanding that he be given the place, but his aspirations are being opposed in this section. Barham has made frequent trips to the north for the purpose of enlisting the services of friends in that part of the State, but Governor Pardee has, it is said, given him scant comfort. —————— Infant on the Mission Steps.

Special Dispatch to The Call TACOMA; dune 23.—That tne spirit of herolsm’ exists among the miners of the north was developed at the inquest over the remains of Owen Connelly, who was cuffocated in a drift in the quartz dis trict of Alaska. Connelly secured permission from Woif & Aberg, the owners of the claim, to start a fire in their drift and do some panning. The fire was lighted at noon. At 7 oclock in the evening Connmelly descended the shaft, but was forced to return to the surface by the fumes. Next day at noon Connelly and Wolf descended into the drift. They proceeded some distance and were filling a sack with dirt when Con- nelly cried out and fell unconscious Breathing the heavy fumes and with no thought of his own safety, Wolf ran to the rescue. He seized the inanimate form and dragged it forty feet toward the shaft. Then, half suffocated by the fumes he pitched forward senseless. Wolf, re- alizing his danger, gave a yell for help. Aberg heard the yell and summoned as- sistance. Without hesitation the miner slid down a rope to the drift and dragged Wolf to the shaft. x’ a miner at the mouth of the shaft gradped Wolf and car- rled him to safety, Aberg reeled and stretcned unconscious at the edge of the drift A miner named Bennett slid down the rope and Aberg was hauled to the sur- face. Not until Wolf and Aberg had re- gained consciousness were the miners aware that Connelly was below. Though death lurked in every drift, a miner named Bell raced for the shaft and de- scended into the mine. He drazged Con- nelly’s form to the shaft, but the man was dead.
