BLANCHE PARTINGTON. ————————— PACKERS TAKE ACTION TO COMPEL ACCOUNTING SAN JOSE, April 7.—The Califor- nia Packers’ Company to-day com- menced a suit against Charles Down- ing and the Bank of Visalla for an accounting for 841,240 pounds of prunes. It is alleged that Downing, who has a packing-house at Visalia, is indebted to plaintiff for $15,190, and the bank in a sum exceeding $4200. The complaint states that on June 30, 1900, Downing entered into a con- tract with the Packers’ Company to cure such prunes as were delivered to him. At Visalia in 1900 at the ware- house of Sweet & Co. the plaintiff de- livered to Downing 1,356,224 pounds of prunes and plaintiff has not ac- counted for 841,240 pounds of the prunes. On information and belief plaintiff alleges that Downing, with intent to convert the same te his own use, sold the prunes unaccounted for and applied a portion of the proceeds to a private indebtedness with the Bank of Visalia in excess of $4200.

McCarthy to make the “climate of Californta unsultable” for you; and be it further Resolved, That we hereby challenge M. P, Carrick, J. C. Skemp, P. H.

Connolly, a teacher in the public schools, living at 1319 Leavenworth street, was as- saulted by an unknown young man on Wednesday morning in the haliway of her employer's first-floor flat. The police believe the deed was prompted by enmity for Mrs. Connolly and that Miss Giblin's assailant mistook her for her mistress. Mrs. Connolly owns the flats at 1315-1319 Leavenworth street and re- cently had trouble with one of her tenants, Mrs. Alice Andrews, who oc- cupied the flat No. 1315. Mrs. An- drews changed her abode several weeks ago, and, according to Captain Martin of the detective force, she vowed at that time to be revenged on Mrs. Connolly. The police are inves- tigating the possibility of any connec- tion existing between this alleged threat and the attack on Mrs. Con- nolly’s maid. On Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock Mies Giblin was summoned to the door by the ringing of the bell. A stranger said he had seen a notice on the door of No. 1315 announcing that the flat was to let and directing inquirers to No. 1319 for the key. The girl went back into the flat after admitting the stranger to the entry, where he closed the front door and sat down. When she returned with the key in her hand he sprang up and grasped her by the throat, saying, "I don’t want the key, but I am going to kill you.” With one hand over Miss Giblin's mouth to prevent her from crying out and the other clasped tightly about her throat, the thug tried to throw her to the floor, but thé young woman wrested herself from his grip and fled screaming into ‘the rear rooms. Her assailant escaped into the street and has not been.seen sinc~. Miss Giblin's throat and lips were cut by the man’s nails and the light waist she wore was torn off her shoulders. The case was reported at police headquarters by Mrs. Connolly and Detective Bailey was detailed on it, but no arrest has been made. Miss Giblin describes her assailant as being about 25 years old, tall, fair, smooth-faced, good looking, of slight build and wearing a black sack suit and derby hat. Mrs. Andrews was not to be found last evening at the St. Louls apart- ments, where she now resides, but her sister said that both the ladies had been absent from the city for three weeks, returning only yesterday morn- ingt “The idea that my sister could have had any connection with this af- fair is absurd,” she added. ——— Would Guard Chinese Girls. Donaldina Cameron, matron of the Presbyterian Home for Chinese Girls at 920 Sacramento street, yesterday applied for letters of guardianship over Hung Ng Mooie, Ah Leen and Ah Ying, three inmates of the home.
