Risks His Irfe That Girl| May Take Photograph| of the Unusual Scene TRAVELERS ANGRY OAKLAND, Aug. 13.—BEighteen pas- sengers on the stage from Harbin Springs to Calistoga received a bad fright yesterday, when, as the stage was passing through a lonely strip of woods between the Springs and Mid- dletown, a lone highwayman, with his face masked by a sack in which eye- holes had been cut arkl his feet wrap- ped in sacks, stepped out of the brush, and covering the driver with a shotgun, ordered him to halt, The road agent then commanded the passengers on the stage to dismount and lined them up on the side of the road. Harry Silverstein, the proprietor of a second hand store at §39 Broadway in this city, was then ordered to search the victims of the robber, and in fear and trembling he obeyed. As he emptied the pockets of one after an- other of the passengers he was con- tinually covered by the gun of the highwayman, who stood behind the line of passengers. After all the money and valuables verstein was thunderstruck to receive an order from thé highwayman to re- turn the plunder to the passengers. Turning to make sure that he had w derstood rightly, he saw the robber dis- appear in the undergrowth at the side of the road and a moment later he saw Miss Hayes, the’daughter of the pro- prietor of the Springs, come into sight carrying a camera. The latter explained that the holdup had been a joke, but the passengers were little inclined to regard it as such. Especially angry was Silverstein, who had been made the unwilling tool of| the alleged robber. In telling the story of the holdup today he said: After the hl%hwnyman had secured $9 from me, all the money I had, he told me to search the others. I didn't like the job for ‘I tmufht they mlght think I _was in the ot to rob the stage. However, as 1 was undeér his gun there was nothing to do but obey, and I did so. When we found out that| we had been fooled, we felt very cheny. It may have been a good joke, but if some one on the stage had been armed | and had put up a fight and shot the| fake robber, it would not have been funny for him, and that is just what might have happened. VARITAL TROUBLES IRE. EXPLOITED OAKLAND, Aug. 13.—Robert B. Rey- nolds did not think his wife had the privilege of differing from him and when she did ‘“venture to express an opinion contrary to his own" he became violently enraged. For that reason, among others, Mrs. Mary E. Reynolds she brought suit for divorce against him on the ground of eruelty. Judge Waste granted her an interlocu- tory decree today. Mrs. Reynolds married in Oakland twenty years ago and two children were the result of the un.on. Not only did Reynolds become enraged when their opinions differed, she says, but he often told he she had no sense, ‘“re- proved and checked” her without pro- vocation and called her offensive names. He also accused her of being, extrava- gant when she invited friends to din- ner, although there was plenty of food in the larder. Incidéentally he swore at and choked her so many times that she doesn't remember all those incidents. Julia Ferante also secured an inter- locutory decree from Salvatore Ferante, whom she married June 6, 1904. She says her husband struck her with a heavy book, took her clothing and abandoned her flve months after their marriage. Suits for divorce for desertion were begun by Margaret J. Hasey against Edward Hasey; W. D. Jenkins against Edna Jenkins and Willlam 8. Mathews against Leona A. Mathews. Jenkins says he was married a. New Orleans in 1902 and that his wife deserted him the same year. The Haseys were married at Baker City, Oregon, in- 1882 and the Mathews at Oakland in 1892. OAKLAND, Aug. 18.—Among the musty and yellow files in the County Clerk's office there were found today papers that tell of the marital troubles of Ellen Jane and Dennis Cane, or Cain, who separated twenty-seven years ago and were reunited seven years later. The papers were brought to light by the filing of a stipulation that Mrs. Cane's divorce suit, which was filed May 29, 1878, be dismissed. The dismissal was flled by Attorney David McWade in order to clear the title' to_property on Tenth street be- tween Franklin and Broadway that Cane recently sold. Owing to the suft for divorce the title was clouded and it was decided that the best way of clearing it would be to dismiss the action, inasmuch as the Canes had been living In peace and amity for twenty years. a The divorce complaint was filed in 1878 by R. A. Redmond and W. H. G. French, who represented Mrs. Cane. At that time Charles G. Reed was County Clerk and George W. Reed, the well- known politician and attorney, was a deputy. The complaint recited that the Canes were married June 28, 1859, in the city of Alexandria, District of Col- umbia, and had lived seventeen years in California at that time. Mrs. Cane accused her husband of extréme cru- elty in that he had beaten her, de- stroyed the sight of her eye by a blow of the fist, accused her of being too friendly with other men and causing her to leave him three days before sne brought the suit. For seven years the couple lived apart, but twenty years ago therée was a reconciliation, and in their subse- quent happlness they forgot all about their divorce suit until it came to a question of property titles. e is an aged capitalist and owns considerable property In Oakland. —_—————— Articles of Incorporation Filed.

He as-| serted that the Board of Education had | ignored the opinion of the District ‘“'i tornéy regarding the liability of con-| tractors for damage done to the new public school buildings of Oakland by the earthquake of April 18. The Deputy | District Attorney declared that thé| board had been instructed that the con- tractors were compelled under their bond to complete the buildings, and‘ could therefore be forced by the board | to repair at their own expense all dam- | age done to the structures by the quake.

In view of this the board has taken the matter of the lability of the contractors under advisement. As for the money to be raised by the sale of the bonds which are to be is- sued by the School Department, this will be used almost entirely to mest the | added expense of Strengthening the bulldings so as to render them as nearly as possible earthquake proof.” The Pacific Construction Company was represented at the meeting of tho| Beard of Supervisors by C. F. MecCar- | thy, who declared that unless the com- | pany weré protected by a clause in the | contract releasing them from respon- | sibility for any damage which might be | done to the bullding by an earthquake while it was in course of construction, | the company had been advised by its attorney not to sizm the contract. Me- | Carthy said that all contracts for new | buildings in San Francisco embodied | such a clause. FEAR AIVER HOLDS RUSSELL COLAY.

Excursion Vessel on the Napa River Reels as Crew Absorbs Liquor NQUIRY PROBABLE SPECIAL DISPATCH TO TEE CALL. MARTINEZ, Aug. 13.—The excursion steamer Resolute, Captain Zell. floun- dered up the river from Anno?n to Napa and back again between 8 o'clock Sunday morning and Monday dawn. An Intoxicated crew imperiled the lives of the 250 passengers. The cool- ness of Sheriff Veale of Contra Costa County, who happened to be aboard. alone prevented a panic when the ve: sel brought up with a sudden joit against a snag in the river. Passengers were taken om at An- tiogh, Black Diamond and Martinez for the run to Napa. Liquor began to flow in generous streams as the boat moved along. Soon the ship itself. under the guidance of a rollicking crew, began to reel with unsteady motion. Napa was finally reached at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The return run was more exciting than the morning trip. As darkness settled over the river the boat plowed through the bank of the stream and settled in a cornfleld. At this point a number of passengers left the ship. choosing rather to walk than to risk their lives longer on thé Resolute. Eventually the steameér was shoved into the water again, and after a seri, of minor accidents reached Antioch at 8 o'clock this morning. Some of the passengers assert that the return trip from Napa was delayed an hour or more by the non-arrival of the captain, who was finally discov- ered in the back room of a saloon. A carriage was called and the skipper taken to the boat. The rest of the crew at this time. with the lome exception of a fireman who did half the duties of the engi- neer, according to the passengers, were in_a maudlin condition. It is understood that an Investiga- tion has been ordered. PASSENGER LOSES LIFE. Son of Antioch Farmer Lost Overboard From the Resolute. NAPA, Aug. 13.—~The remains of James M.

Souls, an assistant in the mechanical depart- ment of Stanford University, made & murderous attack upon his aged father, Edward Soule, the foreman of the manual training shop of the umi- versity, this morning at his parent's home, §33 Lytton avenue. The old gentleman escaped from his son, who was temporarily insane, and notified the town constable, who put the young fellow under arrest and secured a warrant from San José committing him to the asylum at Agnew for ex- amination.

When the elder Soule asked for the harness the son snatched up a billet of wood and attempted to brain his parent. Several large knives, a shovel and pleces of cordwood were found hidden in young Soule’s room after he had been coaxed away. Father and son have been empléyed for some time by the university to run the manual training shop of the Institution.
