AN ABUSED WIFE REFUSES TO PROSE
CUTE HER BRUTAL HUSBAND.
Rut the Wife-Beater Was Found Guilty
just the Same-A Police
Court Case.

William Wilson was tried in the Police
Court yesterday on two charges of battery,
one of them preferred by his wife, Jennie
Wilson, and the other by Mrs. Bloom.
field.
The alleged assault upon the wife took
place about two weeks ago in the vicinity
of Second and N streets, and the next day.
on account of the inability of Mrs. Wilson
to come down to the police station, City
Attorney Hart, Police Court Clerk Jones
and couple of reporters went to the house
where Mrs. Wilson was stopping and heard
her story. which was published at the time.
She said her husband had beaten her
shamefully, and her body was covered with
black and blue marks, caused by his blows
and kicks. She swore to complaint
which Mr.. Hart had drawn up. and said
she would substantiate it when the case
came up in Court.
A couple of weeks time brought about a
remarkable change in her attitude towards
the husband, and on yesterday she claimed
to be ignorant of having sworn to any COM
plant or of having made any such state
ments to anybody.
Mrs. Bloomfield, however, was in her
normal condition. She said that Mrs.
Wilson came over to her house about two
weeks ago and stated that she had just
been most cruelty beaten by her husband
in the Gallagher house. The witness un-
dressed her and found her body literally
covered with marks caused by the beating.
She cared for her and sent for a doctor.
Some time afterwards the husband came
over, and upon the witness refusing to let
him in he struck her in the eye with
rock he held in his hand.
In answer to questions by City Attorney
Hart, Mrs Bloomfield said that Mrs. Will
son had been trying in every way to get
her not to testify in the case. Mrs. Wilson
even showed her a note from Wilson to
this effect:
Give Mrs. Bloomfield all the whisky she
wants during the day of the trial, and you
swear that she had hammer in her hand
when came in.
Mrs. Bloomfield also stated that she had
received several notes regarding the case,
and that Mrs. Wilson had offered her $40
if she would leave town. She refused all
of these offers.
Mrs. Wilson then took the witness stand.
She denied that her husband had beaten
her. She said the bruises were from
female complaint, and sWore that wilson
did not strike her. He might have pushed
or slapped her. She said she did not re-
member having sworn to the complaint or
having said anything to anybody about her
husband striking her.
The testimony of Clerk Jones and one of
the reporters present was taken, and the
defendant then took the stand. He denied
having even slapped his wife and said that
Mrs. Bloomfield threw rock at him in
stead of his striking her.
Judge Buckley found Wilson guilty of
having beaten his wife and granted con-
tinuance in the other case.

A Man Thrown From His Wagon and
Fatally Injured.

A Man Thrown From His Wagon and
Fatally Injured.
john Sullivan, in the employ of ]. H.
Zacharias, who has ranch about twelve
miles up the river, was driving across the
Yolo bridge yesterday afternoon with a
load Of lumber. He had almost reached
the Yolo side when the mules attached to
the wagon took fright at something, and
suddenly started to run.
The wagon was given a violent jerk and
Sullivan was thrown from his seat.
He fell backward and struck on his
head, rendering him insensible. Several
citizens ran to his assistance, but were un-
able to restore him to consciousness. He
was bleeding profusely from wound near
the base of his skull. He was carried to
the Receiving Hospital, where DR.. Nichols
attended him.
1t was found that Sullivan's skull had
been badly fractured-a hole large enough
to admit ones thumb having been crushed
through. Judging from the appearance of
the wound Sullivan, in falling, must have
struck against an iron bolt or some other
similar projection on the bridge.
DR.. Nichols gave it as his opinion that
Sullivan could not live. For a time last
evening the injured man seemed to be in
the death throes, but he rallied and at
midnight was resting quite easy, although
he had not yet recovered consciousness.

PAPERS WERE LIGHT.--When
Editor Hendricks was returning
from Independence the other day
loaded with "notes' for a write-up,
his attention must have become
entirely absorbed in contemplating
the beautiful scenery around Cros-
ton ferry, as his bundle Of notes
took wings and scattered. The
local Of the JOURNAL has since
heard that a farmer coming to Sa-
lem picked up package and in-
nocently put it under the wagon
seat. .Tolting aloug the wheel struck
rock and caused an explosion
which blew him clear over into
another field. Returning and get
ting his valuables together, the
bundle was nowhere to be seen. IL
is supposed that it was the States
mans boom for Independence. The
shock it caused was about simulta-
neous with the California earth
quake and may have been mis-.
taken for that.
