Augusta Dorn and Mrs. W. E. J. Van Balvaren, wife of a| wealthy German farmer and former | titled subject of the war lord. Mrs. | Dorn smashed a beautiful millinary confection worn by Mrs. Van Balvaren, and Mrs. Van Balvaren had the satis- faction of cutting Mrs. Dorn's clothing into shreds with a buggy whip. The fight was over a hay bill.. Mrs. Van Balvaren tried to collect from Mrs. Dorn and the latter sald the statement was incorrect. Starting in the stable belonging to Mrs. Dorn, the fight did not finish until the women had wrestled and scrambled across the street, to where Mrs. Van Balvaren had hitched her team. It was at the side of the buggy that the real fighting took place. Mrs. Van Balvaren, with her hat smashed flat on her head and her hair streaming about her shoulders, warned Mrs. Dorn to keep her dlstance, and as the latter came to renew the conflict, the whip | sung through the air, slashing Mrs. Dorn across the face, on the shoulders and waist. With every slash flimsy calico was slashed and blood spurted from the victim. Once started with her horsewhipping, Mrs. Van Balvaren could not be stopped. Several men started to interfere, but she showed her ability to strike straight and strong and they kept their distance until she had tired of punishing Mrs. Dorn. Seen after the conflict, both women declared the other was to blame and | that the affair. was far from being settled. The outcome was about a draw, Mrs. Van Balvaren having her costly clothes ripped and torn, her expensive hat ruined, her face bruised and scratched from contact with Mrs, Dorn's fists and finger nalls.

B. Smith a northbound rope end, of San Francisco on freight for Gliroy this morning, killing him instantly. The body was brought to this city where an autopsy was per- formed by Dr. H. C.

One end of the rope was dragging and caught in a cattle guard. It was drawn taut and then parted, one end snapping backward and striking the conductor on the chest with a pistol-like report. His body was caught by a brakeman as it fell. The conductor had been making his home'for several months at the Cen- tral hotel in Third street, San Fran- cisco, and was on his second trip as a Southern Pacific conductor.

For a block Mrs. Bergman followed the pair closely. Her cries aroused the neighborhood and several others joined her in the attempt to overtake the two men. The latter were too fleet of foot, however, and soon outdistanced pursuers. The police have meager description of the men. Mrs. Bergman seated in her kitchen about 11 o'clpck in the morning dressing her 2 months' old baby. Play- ing at her side was her 3 year old son Richard. The doorbell rang, but Mrs. Bergman did not go to the door, think- ing that a peddler was there. A few seconds later Mrs. Bergman and her son, Richard, heard a key grating in the front door. Child Hears Entrance “Papa’s coming,” spoke up Richargd when he heard the noise. Mrs. Bergman was so seated that she could see the front door through the keyhole in the 'kitchen door. = When the boy spoke, she glanced through the keyhole and was surprised -to discover that there was a stranger in the front part of the house. The burglar, a man of medium height, slim and dark, and wearing a blue suit and a light hat, was about to pick up Mrs, Bergman's ,purse containing $65 when she threw open the kitchen door their only a was little “What are you doing here?" she de- manded as she rushed out and grappled with the fellow. He hastily retreated and started to race down the street. Outside the door he was joined by a confederate, who was evidently a look- out. Woman Drops Baby Finding that she was hampered by the presence of her baby in her arms, Mrs. Bergman tossed the infant to her neighbor, Mrs. A. Worth, as she hur- ried after the two fugitives. The alarm given by Mrs. Bergman so frightened the pair that one of them collided with Mrs. William Cordes on the sidewalk in his effort to escape. Mrs. Cordes was giving her baby an airing at the time and was so surprised by the incident that she made no attempt to stop the burglar. Mrs. Bergman kept up the chase as best she could, but was no match for the two fleeing men. The ef- forts of the neighbors and later of the police to overhaul the pair were un- avalling. The two men tried other houses in the neighborhood before they attempted to pilfer the Bergman residence. At the Worth residence, the fellow who in the morning and at night; brisk west PRICE FIVE CENTS. SOUGHT BY EUREKA “Divine Healer” Schiatter Leads Expedition in Quest of Treasure ZION'S FOUNDER CACHED MILLIONS ON ISLAND Hunters, Denied a Landing at Honduras and Salvador, Back Empty Handed RETURN VOYAGE IS ENLIVENED BY MUTINY HREE members of the crew of ' the steamer Eurcka, which left San Francisco May 13 on a supposed filibustering expe- dition, - arrived last night on the steamer Hanalei from San Pedro and gave the first detailed account of the real purpose of the myster age. This, they declared, was to re- cover the immense treasure cached by the late John Alexander Dowie, the dead leader of the “Hosts of Zion™ and the self-styled “Elijah the Restor- er,” buried by himself some 12 an island between Honduras and Salvador. The governments of Honduras and Salvador would not let the Eureka enter the island harbor, thinking that the vessel was supplied with ammuni- and intended to aid in starting a fresh revolution. ious voy- ars ago on tion rifies Divine Healer Is Leader The leader of the mygsterious ex- pedition, according to the members of the Eureka, was none other than the “Divine Healer” Schlatter, brother in law ‘of the dead Dowle. Schlatter claimed that he had charts given to = him by the dead founder of the mew cult and could have easily excavated the buried treasures if the government had allowed him to land. 3 Louts Bros., John Morken and John Clemens, all residents of San Fran- cisco, were the men who arrived on the” Hanalel last night from San Pedro and who shipped on May 13th on the Steamer Eureka with Captain Burtis in command. Tales of mutiny, of exciting times the leaders of the expedition had upon landing at ports on the Central American coast and of the disappoint- ment of Schiatter and his avowal that hé would return, outfit a speedier cratt and find the hidden millions, were told with dramatic detail by the members of the returning crew. Eureka at San Pedro The Eureka is at present in port at San Pedro and is expected to return to San Francisco about the middle of thig week. All employes of the ship were paid off Wednesday and told to keep in touch with Captain Burtis in case Schlatter outfits another vessel to re- turn to the land of the promised gold. The Eureka, the property of the North Pacific steamship company, left San Francisco May 13 in quest of the cached fortune. Schlatter, the “divine healer,” boarded the vessel at Amapala. Accompanying Schlatter were Dr. and Mrs. Hyde, of whom the returning crew knew little except that they seemed to have some part in the conduet of the expedition. The first port touched was La Union, Balvador. When the Eureka was with- in sighting distance a launch was seen to be heading for the vessel, and on board was the comandante. He said that the Eureka could not land and must leave La Unfon within 12 hours. “We could see the guns of the fortress trained upon us,” sald Louis Broe, one of the crew who returned last night. “It seemed that they were very anxious to open-fire upon us and were waiting only for the signal of the commandant to commence firing.” Honduras Inhospitable Disgusted, but not in the least dis- mayed, Schlatter set sail for Honduras, where he met the same kind of treat- ment. “Your's is a filibustering ship, declared the officials who met the ves- sel. “We will give you exactly 24 hours to set sail from this port or we will rake the ship with shells.” Schlatter fumed, but argument was out of the question. He asked per- mission to land, but even this was de- nied. The brother-in-law of the dead leader of Zion City then agreed that the officials should search the ship from top to bottom for any sign of ammunition or rifles. This the men refused to do. “All1 I want is to do some excavat- ing,” explained Schlatter. Argument was in vain. He was talking to dumb ears and the officials, after repeating their threat to shell the ship unless he left port inside of 24 hours, turned their backs upon the divine healer and left for the city. Chagrined and sullen, Schlatter _—m Contipued on Page 2, Column 3 yelled to purtls.m order full speed
