BELIEVES SHE S WIFE OF | HLLIONARE Insane Woman Gives| Orders to Hunting- | ton’s Clerks. ; i l —_— | Special Dispatch to The Call ’ } | LOS ANGELES, Nov. 2X.—Declaring that she is the wife of Henry E. Hunt- ington, a well-dressed woman to-day took possession of his palatial offices in the| Huntington building and proceeded to | act as if she owned the place. She had been there many times during the past week, but had not attempted to enter. To-day, however, she stated that she had been kept out long enough, and once reaching Mr. Huntington's private offices | she refused tovacate. She gave orders to stenographers and clerks and asserted that she had been told to run the Hunt- ington railways until Mr. Huntington's return. It was manifest that she was insane and the authorities were notified. | When the police arrived the woman re- | fused to vacate, and not desiring to use force the officers led her to believe that her presence was needed at some point on one of the railway lines. She was| placed in a closed carriage and taken to | a hospital, where she will remain until | the courts pass upon her sanity. | The unfortunate woman is the divorced | wife of E. E. Crandall, a wealthy ary | goods merchant. Her home is in Long | Beach, and it is said that her domestic troubles which led to the divorce de- throned her reascn. For a long time it| has been known that she was of unsound | once before to-day was restraint necessary. Soon after Chief of Police Hammel resigned the woman ap- | peared at the police station and an-| nounced that she had been elected Chief of Police and was ready to begin her | duties. She was locked up. but later| friends came for Her. Her action to-day will result in a com- | plaint for Insanity being preferred against | her. Huntington was not informed of her presence until after she had been placed | under arrest. t NAPA CITY'S AUDITOR ‘ MUST DRAW WARRANTS| Legal Battle Against an Official. NAPA, Nov. 28.—Judge Gesford of the Superior Court handed down his de- cision to-day In the case of Mrs. V.! Century Club, against J. T. York, city auditor of Napa. The plaintifft was granted a | writ of mandate directing the city aud- itor to draw warrants in favor of the New Century Club for $250. The New Century Club secured from the City Council last year a contract for erect- ing a fountain on the city lot on Second street and otherwise improving thelot. | Work was actually done by James B. | Newman, a well-known contractor, who is a member of the City Council. Audi- tor York refused to draw warrants for the work, claiming that a ecity council- man could not legally be interested in a contract for city work. The court decided that the warrants should be drawn In this case. —_———————— HOUSTON, Tex., w. 28.—A terrible blow ut of gas has occurred in the Humble oil fleld, tearing a hole in the earth 100 feet in diameter.

SEATTLE, Nov. 3. -Mrs. George E. Adams, wife of the embezzling cashier of the Seattle assay office, has empioyed an attorney, and every attachment of t Government on Adams’ property will fought in the courts in an effort to save enough to support herself and Infant babe. Mrs. Adams has dispatched no note or word to her husband in the Coun- ty Jail. Her eyes, it is said, are opened, and she will hereafter fight the world's battles alene. So bitter is the sentiment here against Superintendent Wing that unless he re~ signs his position with the assay office Alaskans declare every ounce of gold rought from the north will be taken to San Francisco. If Wing does not resign within a few days it is intimated Super- intendent Leach has instructions to re- move hi However, this probably will not be d until the arrival of Director Roberts. It now develops that Wing several months ago employed as weigher in the assay office Charles S. Purcell, a man who two years ago disappeared after he | had embezzled 330 belonging to a local lodge of Workmen. The amount was made good and the lodge refused to pros- ecute, after which Purcell returned from hiding and was given a job In the assay office by Wing.
