She says she is an inva- lid, unable to work to provide either the necessaries of life or medical at- tention for herself, and she asks the | court to order her father to provide for her out of the fortune of more than $100,000 sh. ays he possesses.

She says that from the time of th marriage in June, 1895, up to November, 1902, he cursed her almost daily, struck her | frequently and otherwise abused her. She complains that he also told her he “was sick of her and wished she would pack up and get out,” and that | he almost constantly found fault with her cooking. Mrs. Blinn also charges that her husband is smitten with a | young woman whom he met in Ta- | coma and that it was not an uncom- mon thing for her to find in her hus band’s effects a lot of letters from lhe Tacoma damsel addressed to Blinn in | the most endearing terms. She claims her husband has property and asks the court to divide it and also to make | her an allowance out of the salary of $250 a month which she says he re- ceives, EDWARDS MISSING. | Lauri Edwards, the railroad clerk | who created a scene a few weeks ago at Pastori's Marin County resort b)! threatening to shoot Domenico Russo, the tenor, whom he found in company | Edwards, has disappeared.

Mystery surrounds the disappearance of a dead man’s gold. Martin Hamann, an aged inmate of the German Alten- heim, Fruitvale, committed suicide vesterday. He had drawn $3000 in $20 pieces from an Oakland bank on May 17. Search for the coin since Hamann's death has uncovered no trace of the gold. . John Behrmann, an old friend of Hamann, and a pioneer of San Lean- dro, accepts responsibility for the story concerning the disappearance of the old man’s hoard. Behrmann has spe- cial interest in finding the coin, for he has been made sole devisee and legatee in Hamann’s will to all of his old { | friend’s possessions. A week ago Tuesday Hamann sent for Behrmann. Together they went to a bank in this city and Behrmann says he saw his friend draw the $3000 in | heim. At that time, Behrmann says, Hamann told him that he had left all - B i —++ | of his belongings to him.
