little boys, was taken sick, and being

were subsequently taken in charge by John
Mackey, Superintendent Of the Rancho del
Paso, who has given them a good home
and arranged for their being brought up
properly. Wilson made a statement after
his arrival here to the effect that his wife
had abandoned him and the children when
they were at their home in Stanislaus
county. Yesterday Mrs Wilson arrived in
Sacramento and stated that 50 far from
having deserted her husband, he had
deserted her, taking the boys and all the
means he could secure with him. She
came to claim possession of the children
and has obtained them. She was accom-
panied by her brother-in-law, Charles
Douglass. of New Hope, San joaquin
county, who states that Wilson abused bis
wife shamefullv, beat her and drove her
away from home. Subsequently he sold
all their property, including some that be
long to her individually, and disappeared
from Modesto, where they had been living
She has since then been searching for him
to get the children. and only heard on Sat
urday last of his death.
