One of the children, was stolen last summer, while the | mother was camped near Marysville. The father feilow gipsy, Michael Stancovich, for $700. After buying the girl, 8tancovich by means of beatings and threats forced the girl to marry him. The ceremony was performed at Marys- ville by the Rev. Father Coleman, in July, 1604, the father having falsely stated that the child was eighteen years of age. Previous to the kidnaping of the girl the father had induced a son, Frank Bonavish, to leave his mother. He taught the boy to steal and then turned him adrift. The lad is now in the Whittier Reform School. Last night Bonavish, who is camped with a band of gipsies in Fruitvale, stole apother of the chilaren, Clara, 19 years old. This morning the mother swore out a warrant for his arrest. While she was at the police station the father, accompanied by his eldest son, came to the tent of Mrs. Stanley and lured the two youngest children, Rosie, age 8, and Edna Beat- rice, age 6 years, from the tent and carried them away. The mother re- turned to find the tent deserted. Al- most crazed by the latest act of her former husband she hurried again to the police and reported the loss of the last of her little ones. A policeman was sent at once to the camp of Bonavish at Fruitvale, but the wily gipsy, fearing pursuit, had not gone there #but ~d taken the children to some other jlace for safe keeping. The members of his band denied any knowledge f his where- abouts, saying that the “captain” had gone to San Francisco early in the morning. Up to a late hour to-night he had not returned to his camp. The warrant for the arrect of Bona- vish is now in the hands of the police, but Mrs. Stanley fears he will escape. Mrs. Stanley, who is a gipsy fortune teller at 616 Broadway, tells the fol- lowing story of her ex-husband’s per- secution since she was divorced from Bonavish in 1801: Bonavish, who sometimes goes under the name of Iganowitch, was cruel to me almost from the day of our marriage, and I final g0t a divorce from him in Colorado on June 12, 1801 Shortly afterward I married my present husband Frank Stanley, and since that time my first husband has given me no rest. One by one he has stolen my children, begip- ning with my son Frank, who is now in Reform £chool. Then he stole my daughter Maretea, whom he later forced to marry Mich- #el Stancovich, to whom he sold her for §700. The child hated her husband from the first and at last she ran away and, fearing pursuit attempted to commit suicide. Now this man has stolen the rest of my little ones and I know that unless I can get them back he can get away he will sell = em them, too. I will not give them up, and I intend io oy out whether he can take my children from me after the courts have them to me. MISMATED COUPLES. Feb. 17. Harriet E.

S FURNISH BONDS R Sophomore Class Takes First Action in Preparing to Protect Its . Treasury el LEARNS BY EXPERIENCE Honor System Is All Right, but Youths Who Handle Money Must Give Security | Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center street, Feb. 17. For the first time in the history of the university class officers who handle money entrusted to them as managers of class enterprises will be put under bonds, as is done in commercial life or in public office. The sophomore class decided to-day that its officers, some ;of whom will have charge of many| thousands of dollars, shall all give se-| curity, to be regularly provided by a} first-class surety company. | The action taken by the sophomore: class is, in part, the result of George ‘W. Lauder’'s defalcation a year ago,; when he was business manager of the Occident magazine, a university pub- lication, and the sophomore class treas- urer. He came to the college from St. Helena and was prominent in all the activities of his class. ! Lauder belonged to the Phi Kappa Sigma, an exclusive fraternity, and this society later assumed the respon- eibility of making good his peculations. His accounts as class treaurer were in bad shave before he left with funds belonging to the Occident magazine's treasury. The fraternity men shielded him in the first instance and his cash, as class treasurer, was made to balance. Lau- der disappeared soon after, however, with several hundred dollars of Occi- dent coin and has not been heard of since. Because of this and of similar af- fairs the students believe that business customs should prevail where business is done by college classes. The sopho- more class has taken the initiative and at a meeting this morning appointed H. E. Sherman chairman of a com- mittee to submit a list of the bonds un- der which class officers are to be put. The business manager of the Blue and Gold will have the heaviest bond, and his probably will be for got less than $10,000. In his position he handles more money than any other class of- ficer. The bonds of other class officers will be in proportion. The class this morning nominated the following sophomores for positions on the /Blue and Gold of '07: Editor, R. Gabbert and Gurden Edwards: busi- ness manager, Jack Eggers and J. Hastings. The election is to take place a week from to-day. LS S R S HER WARDROBE RUINED.

The educational authorities of San Francisco agree with Jacob Riis that “the right' of the boy to play ball should be held as sacred as the right of habeas corpus,” and they are now seeking the influence of the Grand Jury toward providing play grounds at the school buildings. Yesterday sev- eral of the members of the inquisitor- ial body, accompanied by the Board of Education and Superintendent Langdon, visited the Franklin School on Eighth street, near Harrison. “I allow the boys of this vicinity to play in this yard every afternoon till 4:30 o'clock,” explained Mrs. Wood, the principal, pointing to the meager space in the rear of the school build- ing. “You can see that the boys have to use the walls and windows against which to play handball.” Then the jurors proceeded to see the “yagtags of society,” the boys in the Parental School. It likely that sub- stantial financial liberality for this school by the municipality will be recommended. The little fellows, whose home conditions for the most part drive them to run away, to sleep in dry goods boxes, boxcars, ware- | hcuses and lumber yards and to live on money they earn principally by selling newspapers, were the objects of much interest on the part of the grand jurors. Superintendent Langdon wants t. have a dormitory provided for so that the entire care can be taken of the little fellows that parents neglect. —_————————— PERSONAL. ] DITIONS Capitalist T. B.
