eA,x l.

We were waited upon in our Of
flee yesterday by Mrs. Olga Wolfen-
stein, who lately brought a suit for
divorce against Mr.. V. Wolfen-
stein. The young lady, who APP
pears yet in the first flush of her
teens, deprecates very much the
publicity which has lately been
thrust upon her mother and her.
self. She complains that she is
entirely misrepresente1 in a para
graph which appeared in the Star
of Saturday, and which stated that
she intended to marry a gentleman
from San Francisco as soon as she
obtained divorce from Mr.. Wolf
enstein. Mrs. Wolfenstein says
that, instead of requesting this
statement to be made formally, as
it appears in the Star, she was
complaining of the publicity that
had been given to her mother and
self, and that she said, by way of
reproach, "You had better state in
your paper that 1 am engaged to
be married to gentleman from
San Francisco" The lady regards
the numerous statements that
have been made about her, in GER
tain Photographic announcements
as well as elsewhere, as calculated
to unfairly prejudice her case, and
she says she spoke from a feeling
of natural Indignation, with no
! tdn0 I'm he H., l.
form of u serious declaration. She
entertains the Idea, which many
other persons share, that this pain
full case should be confined to the
court which is SO soon to try it on
its merits.
Between three and four o'clock
yesterday morning, Mr.. Teed, who
lives on Buena Vista street, was
awakened by hearing the click of
swinging door and presently af-
forwards noise resembling the
tread of dog. He at once jumped
out of bed when lie heard some
thing passing though the hall. On
going out of his room he found the |
back door open but supposing it |
had been carelessly left open he
closed 1t and went into the front
loom whence the noise had first
proceeded. Here he discovered
that one of the windows had been
opened and propped up by running
knife blade between the sash aud
casing. He then knew that his
visitors had been burglars but when
he got to the back door again they
had disappeared. Mr.. Teed's
movements were so quick that the
burglars were unable to get away
with any plumber.

A brutal attack was made OH Mr.,
John Eberle on Sunday night by |
AIN unruly man named Arbata,
who had been insulting ladies and
who was heing elected from the
ball room by Mr.. Eberle. At the
door Arbata turned and struck Mr.. |
Eberlc in the face and was then
surrounded by his companions, who
said he should not be put out. Ar
bata continued to pummel Mr..
Eberle and had it not been for the |
Intervention Of Mr.. f. X. Eberle
and Mr.. w. w. Creighton, who |
rescued him, would probably have |
injured him seriously. AS 1t was
he received several wounds on the |
head from which the blood flowed
freely. No arrests were made, Mr..

nation.
The Building Committee of the

A iumor was current ON the
street yesterday that a rich strike
had been made in the we'll of the
Los Angeles Oil Company at the
Sespe. Some placed the flow at as
high as $50 barrels per day. We
interviewed Mr.. Medley, the Score.
tary of the company. who would
give no figures as to the amount of
the flow, but said 1t was a good
one. Convincing evidence that
something extraordinarily good
had been struck was the fact that
the stock of the company was ca
gerly sought at $40 per share, with
no sellers.
The lovers of the pleasant pas.
