A SECRET MARRIAGE,
Resulting in Two Attempts at Suicide and
One Death.

Los ANGELES. Dee. 27.-W. Bert Mac
Gregor, who for some months past has been
employed as reporter on the papers of this
city Yand San Diego, committed suicide to-
day at the Hotel Ramona by taking NOR
phine. MacGregor came from San Be rnar-
dino Christmas day, where he has been
working for several weeks, and took dinner
at o'clock with friends in this city. Yes
terday about 10 o'clock he engaged a room
at the Ramona, and nothing more was
known concerning him until this afternoon,
when the door of his room was forced open
and he was discovered lying on the bed
dead. A young girl named Leah Benjamin
was also lying on the bed unconscious from
morphine. Physicians were called in and
restoratives applied, and at late hour to-
night it looked as though she would re-
cover.
Two empty morphine vials were found on
a table in the room, and two small wine
glasses in which the poison had been mixed.
MacGregor left letter TO the Coroner say
ing that he and the girl had taken the poison
with suicidal intent. and asking that no
autopsy be held. MacGregor and the girl,
who is only II years of age, were engaged
to be married. MacGregor came to the
Coast about two years ago from Chicago.
where his family reside. 1t has been ascer-
tained that MacGregor and the girl were
secretly married two months ago, and in
letter left by the girl she says the secret was
too great for her to bear.

VAN OSS HAS GONE.
A Nadeau Hotel Guest Leaves without

A Nadeau Hotel Guest Leaves without
Paying His Bill.
A very clever confidence man has paid
Los Angeles a visit and here came to the
end OF his string, says the Los Angeles Her
aid. 1t was man named S. F. Van Oss,
who represented himself rs a staff corre-
spondent of the London Oracle, which Is
alleged to be technical railroad paper.
Van Oss registered at the Nadeau House.
and by his gentlemanly demeanor made
great number of friends. His mail was ex-
tensiye and he displayed letters of recon-
mendation from many prominent railroad
men in the East. Thus he managed to get
along swimmingly at Nadeau and to run up
a bill of $40
On the morning of the 18th he told the
clerk that lie was going to Barstow and
would return the next day. He did not
even take his valise with him, but he has
not been seen SINCE
1t has now been developed that Van Oss Ia
fraud. He has been living by leasing out
the country, 1t being an easy matter for his
glib tongue to secure the free Transports
ton. Now that the end of the year is ap-
preaching, however, it is probable that Van
Oss saw the approach Of his exposure and
made his escape. Instead of stopping at
Barstow he went to Chicago on through
train. His valise was examined yesterday
and found to contain large pile of railroad
circulars and time tables, and a pair of
socks without heels.
Van Oss is a man of slight stature, has
black eyes, dark complexion, and wears
moustaches and eyeglasses.

CAUGHT THE CHIEF.
Clever Capture Made by the U. S.
Marshal's Officers.

Deputy United States Marshal Marsh has
arrived in Los Angeles with Ricardo Con-
zales, who has been arraigned before United
States Court Commissioner Owens on
complaint charging him with having counter
feting tools in his possession, says the Los
Angeles Herald OF Friday last.
There has been gang of slick individu-
ais at work for time. both in the northern
and southern counties of the State, whose
game it has been to secure the confidence
of the people residing In the community
where they happened to locate, and, after
establishing themselves in the good graces
of trusting persons, would unfold to them
scheme by which the sharpers said they
could make a fortune in short order.
The scheme would turn out to be coun-
terfeiting So gold pieces, and the workers
had small and ingeniously contrived appa-
ratus by which the base coins were to be
turned cut. Some persons, of course, re-
fused to have anything to do with such a
business, but 1t appears there were num-
Der who fell into the trap set for them by the
clever gentry.
To eac II person who displayed interest In
the turning out OF coin the gang would i'm
part the secret of the process, and if their
dupes desired to invest some capital in a
sure thing, why, of course, they could be ac-
commodated, but they could not buy the
machine. They might put in say $50 and
the gang would promise to give them back
double that amount. The money put in was
to be used in purchasing material for MAX
ing the coin.
That the fellows succeeded admirably in
their scheme can be attested by number
Of persons between this city and San Fran
cisro, but the crowd finally came to grief
after getting away with a snug sum. 1t is
known that they secured $4,000 during No

that the parties who were caught are too
ashamed to come forward and let their loss
be known.
A man who gave the name of Guadello
was first arrested with one of the machines
in his possession. A few days after his

Special to THE MORNING GAEL

CARSON Nev.l Dec 27.-Joseph Klein,
son of Jake Klein of the Bullion Ex-
change Bank, and George Boswoath left
Placerville two weeks ago to walk to Car
son over the mountains. Shortly afterward
they were met by Hy Barton at Dennis
Johnson's. Barton says they were appar-
emily tired out, and he advised them to turn
back, or at any rate not cross the summit at
that time. Bosworth was willing, but
Klein insisted upon pushing on to the next
station, distance of eleven miles. Both
start up the mountain, the snow becom-
ing deeper. Since then nothing has been
heard of them.
Three other men started over the summit
the Sunday previous. and one of them was
found dead by Barton and McNull twelve
miles from Lake Tahoe. Barton further
continued the search on snow-shoes, but
found nothing OF the others. All of the sta
tlons have been visited by searchers and
none of the wanderers have shown up. The
storms in the mountains for the last week
have been terrible, and the nights cold
enough to freeze one to death. Barton
knows the country well, and is certain that
all five of the men have perished. The
father of Klein will send reliefs through
the hills in the hope of finding his son.
There is little shelter where these storms of
snow and sleet sweep across the Sierras.
Further particulars will be sent when the
relief bands return.

UNSETTLED WEATHER,
A Heavy Storm Brewiug-Seamen
Preparing for 1t.

Clerk of the Weather Klrkam is not the
only one who has been keeping his eyes to
windward during the last couple of days, as
owing TO the manner in which the barOm-
eterS on board the various ships in the har-
Dor have been jumping up and down, sea-
faring men generally are of the opinion that
heavy storm is brewing on this coast, and
many vessels lying at the wharves got
extra lines ashore and were otherwise made
secure.
Several ships lying in the stream have
two anchors down, and have made prepara-
tions to ride out the storm in safety.
Yesterday morning rain fell to the
amount of 81 of an inch, with good chance
Of more to follow soon, as heavy bank of
clouds was looming up in the southeast at
sundown.' The total rainfall for the season,
as reported at the Merchants Exchange, is
i 81 inches.
During the past three days snow has
fallen in various parts of the State, and rain
has fallen in light showers from Los An
geles to British Columbia.
