Cassell, a prominent employe of one of the railroad companies, was granted a divorce in the Superior Court this afternoon by Judge Noyes of Riverside, presiding in the absence of Judge Bled- soe. Both sides were represented by able attorneys and the trial was sensa- The plaintiff, being placed on the stand, related the story of the man- ner in which his wife had deserted him. She had left him ostensibly for a six Kan., but had refused to come back to California. He followed her after writ- ing numerous letters, pleading in vain for her return, but she told him that <he was tired of married life and pre- ferred to earn a living in her own way. taurant. The defense introduced letters from the absent wife, written by the plain- tiff, in which he called her all manner of loving things and offered to send her money to come back. This was admit- ted, but the anti-climax came i the form of a telegram assuring the wife that there was neither money nor pass | for her. Then a newspaper was pro- duced showing that the woman had been arrested in Joplin, Mo., while sit- ting in the moonlight with a Kansas City drummer, and the plaintiff argued that this was the reason he had in re- turn refused a reconciliation, Jennie R. Cassell, a pretty young wo- man, was well known here, being at one time engaged in missionary work, and the story has caused somewhat of a sensation. Her testimony and that of her mother were made by affidavit from Kansas. ————— Saves a Child From Train.

EUREKA, June 27.—The damage done to the plant of the Eureka Lighting Company by last night's conflagration has proved less serious than was an- ticipated. The corrugated iron parti- tion separating the furnace-room from the dynamos confined the fire to the rcom in which it started. The fire de- partment spared no effort to keep the fire from spreading to the dynamo- room. The dvnamos were all covered to protect them from the heat. This morning it was discovered that the machinery outside of the furnace- room was all in perfect condition. The cars of the Humboldt Transit Com- pany, which receives its electric power from the lighting company, began run- ning at 3 o'clock to-day. The lights in the business places and residences were all turned on this evening. Most of the lights were run by the sub-station, and would not have been interfered with | had the fire been more serious. It is thought that $5000 will cover the damage. The only business concern that will be affected by the fire is the Occidental Mill Company, which plant will be shut down for a few days until the pipes leading from the mill to the electric plant can be repaired. The city at large will suffer no inconvenience ‘whatever. —_—————— STEAMSHIP HUMBOLDT BEARS PRECIOUS BURDEN Vessel Sails From Juneau to Seattle Carrying More Than a Mil- lion in Gold.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, June 27.—Five prominent young men were arrested here to-day on a charge of disturbing the peace, and it is believed the exam- ination will lead to further and more‘ serious charges. Last Saturday night about 9 o’clock A. J. Hill, a Southern Pacific brake- man, was chatting with Miss Antoin- ette Lamy on her mother’'s doorstep in this city, when Sam Cook and George Faulkner came along and spoke insult- ingly to the couple. Young Hill re- sented the insult and the boys went away. Shortly after they returned with three comrades and renewed the insults. Seeing that he could have no peace, Hill bade his sweetheart adieu, after promising her to avoid trouble. Hill went into the street, passed his five adversaries and was again insult- ed.” He turned and faced ome of the young men and received a blow on the head. Then he was knocked insensi- ble.. A moment later Mrs. Lamy came upon the scene and saw the five young men by the moonlight peering into the face of the reviving brakeman. The assailants disappeared and Hill was cared for and sent to the Railroad Hospital in San Francisco by the next train. Hill's Injuries consist, besides bruises, of a compound fracture of the left ankle, from which it is stated he cannot recover for some months. The young men arrested are Sam Cook, George Faulkner, Leroy Anderson, Willie Schulz and Charlie Stebbfns. Several are sons of wealthy and influ- ential families, but so strong are the facts against them that the sentiment is for the boys to take whatever pun- ishment they may deserve.

The steamer arrived at the place where Yakataga was supposed to be. but no town was there. She cruised up and down the beach until after day- light and both officers and passengers began to doubt the existence of such a place. At this time the first officer dis- covered in the forecastle an Indian squaw bound from Yakutat to Yaka- taga. She was brought forth and requested to point the way to her home. Fourteen miles eastward was In! the point toward which she waved her hand. The ship was put on that course and the town reached. FRIENDS FIGHT OVER A WOMAN Fancied Insult to Charmer Arouses Briton’s Chivalry and He Issues Challenge i Qi Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SALT LAKE, June — Charles Sherwin and Montgomery Fisher, prominent young men of Salt Lake, quarreled over a woman and fought a vicious fight with bare knuckles to set- tle the dispute. The fight took place this afternoon. Sherwin was the chal- lenger. He is an Englishman and con- strued a joking remark made by Fisher to be an insult and demanded satisfaction. When asked to name weapons he chose boxing gloves, and the pair at once adjourned to a local gymnasium. The police got a tip, ralded the place, and prevented the fight. Sherwin and Fisher then agreed to meet at a point across the Jordan River, west of the city, and were driven there with about a dozen friends, who acted as seconds. The gloves had been forgotten, so the two men stripped to the walst and went at it with bare fists. They agreed to fight to a finish and objected to the efforts of their friends to stop the mill, which soon became a wicked one. Almost every blow was damaging. Both men were knocked down within a minute and they were soon bathed in each other’s blood. Again and again the friends endeavored to per- suade them to call it off, but the fight- ers steadily refused and kept at it until both fell from exhaustion. They were carried to the Jordan River, bathed and their injuries dressed. Sherwin's head was one mass of bruises. His lips were cut and swollen and both eyes were black. Fisher has an ear torm, a black eye and a large swelling on his cheek. Both. are in bed under the care of a doctor to-night. The men had been friends prior to the fight and lived in the same apart- ment-house. —_——— Better Water for Alameda.
