J. Lynch, Which Was Also Broken Into OAKLAND, Jan. 22.—A bold attempt to rob the vault of the Bank of San Lean- dro, which is located at Haywards and Estudillo avenues at that place, was made last night, and only failed of suc- cess because the robbers were frightened away before they had succeeded in get- ting into the vault. In their éfforts to reach the strong box the robbers broke into O. J. Lynch’s drug store, which is situated on Estudillo avenue, immediate- ly at the rear of the bank, and when the attempted robbery was discovered this morning, the tools with which they had forced entrance were found in the drug store. The robbers entered the drug store by breaking a window, and losing no time in searching for money in the store, at once attacked the wall at the rear with a brace and bit, in an effort to reach the vault, the back of which s set against the rear wall of the drug store. After boring several holes in the wall the thieves were evidently frightened away, for the brace and bit and a wrench were found this morning where they had been dropped by the robbers in their flight from the store. In their haste to reach the vault of the bank the robbers overlooked more than $150 which was hidden in a drawer in the drug store, and which could have been easily found. Dr. Miller of San Leandro Was In the drug store at 11 o'clock last night, and at that time he saw nothing wrong, so the attempt to rob the bank raust have been made between midnight and mofning. The case has been report- ed to the authorities, but there is little hope of discovering the identity of the robbers. SAYS SPOUSE MOCKED HER DURING PRAYERS Mrs. Hinton, a “Holy Roller,” Obtains Divorce on the Ground of Cruelty. OAKLAND, Jan. 22.—Charging that he: husband disturbed her prayers at night and tried to lure her to the favor of the devil, Louise P, Hinton, a follower of the “Holy Rollers,” was granted a divorce from Roger B. Hinton to-day by Judge ‘W. H. Waste. In-a vivid description of ner husband's actions in attempting to interrupt her supplication she said: “When 1 went to pray at night he would mock me and roll and toss on the bed and blow like an old gander.” Mrs. Hinton states that she endured this kind of treatment from her husband since the time she was “saved’” at Atlan- ta, Ga., in 1895, and in this conmnecticn says: “After 1 got saved he tried to lure me to the devil's side. When I tried to sing 2 hymn he would clap hi¢ hand over my mouth and stop me. He went to drinking harder than ever and went fish- ing on Sunday, and would take beer with him and come home drunk and then abuse me.” She finally left him and went to Texas and then came to Oakland. The trial of the divorce suit brought by Minna T. McGauley, a member of the Mills College alumnae and former presi- dent of the Milis College Club, against James F.

B. Little and L. W. Anthony were badly j scorched about the hands and face and W. H. Weilbye, a prominent merchant, recelved a severe cut on his hand in breaking a patent fire-extinguisher. Little and Anthony were repairing an automobile when the machine caught fire from the waste box.

LODGE WENBER CHARGES THEFT Assistant Secretary of the Woodmen of the World Is Accused of ‘Embezzlement T n o AR A\ OAKLAND, Jan. 22.—Charged with the embezzlement of $1000 from Oakland Camp No. %, Woodmen of the World, of which he was assistant secretary, J. J. McCon- nell, a Deputy County Assessor, is umnder arrest pending a further investigation by the officers of the lodge and the police. McConnell was arrested by Detective Dennis Holland at the Hotel Crellin, where he has been living, just as he was about to leave the city for New Orleans. The arrest was made at the request of Dr. George Derrick, a member of the lodge, who alleges that the records of the order have' been falsified and that checks for variou® sums have been drawn on' the First National Bank with the name of Chief Deputy County Assessor Thomas Robinson, ‘clerk” of the camp, forged to the checks. No specific charge has been made against McConnell, although it is likely that he will be accused of both forgery and embezziement. The arrest was made when it was learned that McConnell was about to leave for New Orleans, the home of his family. It is said that his engagement to Miss Bertha Murphy, who also lives at the Hotel Crellin, was suddenly broken and caused him to decide upon a hurried de- parture from the city, which was inter- rupted by his equally hurried arrest. Mc- Connell says a mistake has been made. ———————— ELOPING COUPLE ARE ARRESTED IN OREGO J. L. Langley and Clara Maze Fail to Escape Meshes of the Law.
