Blunt, a driver for Benson's meat market, was to-day waylaid by two highwaymen on the Alameda road near this city and robbed of $50 which he had collected dur- ing the day. Blunt was driving his meat wagon back to town after a trip to New Almaden. When about a half mile from Anderson’s Corners two men sprang in front of the horses and brought them to a standstill, at the same time &overing Blunt with their revolvers. The robbers demanded his money. Blunt refused to surrender the cash and the men ap- proached from opposite sides and at- tempted to overpower him. Blunt was game and fought desperately, but was finally stunned by repeated blows over the head and dragged from the seat of | the wagon. As soon as he loosened the lines the horses took fright and ran into town to the market. The arrival of the wagon minus a driver was the first indication of the holdup, and a search for Blunt was started. He was found at Andersons Corners, where he had dragged himself after he had been beaten nearly insensi- ble and robbed of all his money. He was brought to the Red Cross Sanitarium and stitches were taken in fifteen cuts about his face and head. Bheriff Ross with a number of depu- ties left for the scene of the holdup with a good description of the two robbers, end the neighborhood is being searched. Blunt states that he kicked one of the robbers in the face as he was climbing upon the wagon and knocked him to the ground. s5—acr BOGUS DEED GIVEN FOR SEATTLE REALTY Poor People Swindled in| | had been laid by the local street-car com- Deals Disposing of City Property.

LEACH TAKES ASSAY OFFICE Superintendent of San Fran- ciseco Mint Starts Investi- gation Into Adams Affair THIEF'S FUNDS -TAKEN Uncle Sam Levies Upon the Cash and Realty Standing in Name of Seattle Man aitrac Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, Nov. 2. — Superintendent Leach of the Ban Francisco Mint arrived In the city to-night under instructions from the Treasury Department to take entire charge of the Seattle agsay office, relieving F. A. Wing, superintendent, Who, for the present at least, will work in the office under Leach. “My purpose in coming to Seattle,” sald Leach, ‘“1s to conduct a thorough investigation Into the assay office and report the conditions as I flnd them to the department superintendent. Mr. Wing will not be relleved unless orders are recelyed from Washington. He will continue in the office working under my direction for the present. Every branch of the office will be gone into thoroughly. Adams will be prosecuted for stealing Government property. The dust which he took had passed to the control of the Government and was its property.” This afternoon the Government levied upon $25,000 worth of real estate owned by Adams and attached $12,000 he had on deposit in local banks. This, with the $12,00 found on his person, represents what has so far been secured from the wreck. Other attachments on_ his busi- ness interests and property will proba- bly be issued Monday. Captain B. W. Bell of the secret serv- ice returned to-night from Bellingham, where he went to ascertain the truth or falsity of a rumor that George Adams, the defaulting cashier of the Seattle as- say office, was president of the Industrial Iron Works of South Bellingham. He found it is true. It has also been estab- lished that Adams owned a majority in- terest in the real estate firm of Guion & Co., and was ldentified with several other business concerns. To-day for the first time Mrs. Adams was told of her husband's plight. Rev. Mr. Lioyd, her pastor, broke the news in the bed chamber, amid the cries of her infant baby. She bore up bravely, but the scene was a sad one. It is stated that Mrs. Cleary, mother of Mrs. Adams, is on the verge of losing her mind. The cowardly charge of Adams that it was to support her he stole struck home. It is stated that at the present moment there is not a cent of money in the Adams household, but there is no want, for friends are attending to the ne of both Mrs. Adams and Mrs. Cleary. TR P RALS N SHNTA CRUZ BANTA CRUZ, Nov. 25.—The dispute be- tween the Southern Paclfic and Union Traction Company over the ownership of & valuable right of way back of the burnt district In this city has come to a head. Roadmaster Corrigan of the Southern Pacific and a gang of fifty men yesterday tore up the rails and ties which pany over the disputed property, and the relatidhs of the two companies, heretofore friendly, are now at a tension. Posses- sion of the disputed strip of land is claimed by the Southern Pacific under its purchase of the old narrow gauge Felton and Santa Cruz Rallroad. The street-car people claim it passed to them when the horse-car line through the city was aban- doned and the new company was formed. The land has not been used for about twenty years. A conference had been ar- ranged for in San Francisco this week to settle the matter, but the Southern Pacific failed to appear. SOUTHERN PACIFIC ATDS OCEAN SHORE Fear of Losing Money: on Freight Contract Cause of Truce. SANTA CRUZ, Nov. 25.—The South- ern Pacific is helping the new Ocean Shore Road build its electric line out of this city. Shattuck & Desmond, who have the contract for the Southern Pa- cific’'s coast line railway from Santa Cruz to Davenports, have thrown all their forces to the Ocean Shore, which parallels the Southern Pacific’s sbranch line a good part of the way. The rea- son for this is that the Southern Pa- cific has a contract to haul machinery and material for the new $3,000,000 cement works at Davenports before January 1. It will forfeit a large sum it the line is not built in time. Ar- rangement has been made with the Ocean Shore to haul material and now both roads, which have been bitterly fighting for rights of way and fran- chises, arc straining every nerve to complete the electric road. About five miles of fourteen have already been built. —_—t e KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS MEET IN SAN JOSE Second and Third Degrees of Order Conferred on a Class of 75. Epecial Dispatch to The Call.

KNOTS ARE TIED WTH DIFFIULTY Santa Cruz Judge Spends a Busy Morning UnitingSons and Daughters of Italy ONE FORGETS LICENSE Returns With Naturalization Papers After Being Sent for the Needed Document Special Dispatch to The Call. SANTA CRUZ, Nov. 25.—Judge Crag- hill had the time of his life this morn- ing. He married three Itallan couples, and by the time the last knot was tied the Judge was about ready to resign from the bench. The first knot was tled in remarkably quick time, and the second couple was summoned. ~ With their appearance came trouble. The Judge discovered that he had married the first pair under the names of the second aspirants for matrimonial hon- ors. The mistake was remedied and once more was the second couple called. Then it was discovered that the groom lhad forgotten his marriage license and he was sent post haste after the much needed document. By the time he got back couple No. 8 had been safely united and the brides and grooms were sitting in the corners holding each others’ hands. Couple No. 2 once more took & place be- fore the Judge, the groom, as he stepped forward taking a long, legal looking document from his pocket. One glance the Judge took and then he said something under his breath (quoted from the Civil Code the clerk of the court announced). Perhaps he did, but the next thing he sald is not contained in any law book. It was a command to the groom to take back his naturaliza- tion papers and get his marriage 1i- cense. In due time the necessary pa- pers arrived and the Judge tied the third knot. But his troubles were far from being over, for one groom arose and read from the code book for the edification of his bride the sections pertaining to marriage, and then insisted that the marriage ceremony should be gone through with again, with the aid of an interpreter. The Judge granted his re- quest and wearlly nodded an af- firmative when the other two grogms requested a similar favor. The blushing brides are three young girls from Italy, who came to Santa Cruz last week from Italy to join their fortunes to three well-known Italian residents of the Beach City. Their names were Adelalde Boggero, Ade- laide Cocito and Angelina Valle. Now they are respectively Mrs. Orlando Grasso, Mrs. D. Bellangero and Mrs. P. Boggero. NAPA COURT ASKED TO AWARD DAMAGES Alleged Violation of Agree- ment Is Cause of Suit * for $5000. NAPA, Nov. 25.—Complaint was filed in the County Clerk's office to-day by W. B. Twichell against E.
