bringing to justice many of the worst
criminals of this section and ole OF their
number, Frank, the oldest, was killed
while making al arrest In the Cherokee
Nation. On the 30th of last June the
three remaining brothers, Graf, Bob and
Emmett, resigned their positions and went
to ClardmarP, Cherokee Nation. On the
Attn Of July they visited the Usage reserva-
ton, where they stole sixteen head of horses
and pair of mules, selling them in Kansas
at a public auction.

DESHAYES BOBS UP.
He Threatens to Break Up the
Approaching French Fete.

It is rumored that the disturbances which
characterized the preliminaries OF the cele-
bratiou Of the anniversary of the fall of the
Bastile of July IL 1889. in this city. are in
fair way to bs repeated this year.
1t will be remembered that Leon DeshayeS
was at one time leader Of a faction of the
French colony. and through his paper, lie
BayaId, made a series of violent personal
attacks upon q number of prominent French
citizens. The result was division OF the
colony, and on July IA, 1889, two process
sions were organized. each claiming to rep
resent the French people. About this time
the attacks of Deshayes became so Virulent
that he was indicted and arrested for libel
He subsequently fed the city and for a
time wandered in Egypt, italy and France.
All trace of him was lost about year ago,
and it was supposed that he lad entirely
disappeared.
Yesterday, however, letter was received
from him written from Los Angeles, where
he claims to have been living for six months
under an assumed name. He advises his
friends that Re IS now making arrangements
TO return to this city 10 time TO participate
in the 14th Of July demonstration aud he
proposes to march with his followers in the
procession. His plan, he explains, is to
have 4 number of SDcialistic banners paint
ed. which his friends will carry through the
streets. They viii form in a side street
opening on the line of march and when the
pageant is passing, will rush out upon it and
capture it,

who was until a few days ago Miss Georgia
Kiibourne of Keokuk. Iowa They were
driven from the ferry TO the Palace Hotel
and were assigned TO a suite Of rooms on the
first floor looking out on New Montgomery
street.
When a CALL reporter called Mrs Alger
and her two daughters were with the bridal
party, and the bride was busiy engaged in
showing them the many handsome floral
tributes which had been sent by the army
officers and the Generals personal friends.
The bride is a tall, stately woman of 26,
possessed of face OF un usual refinement Of
expression and most charming complexion.
She is the daughter of General George +.
kllbOurne, who was gallant soldier and
one of the moving spirits of Iowa Her
mother is a woman of many accomplish
ments and it is to her, it is said, that the
daughter owes her many attractive qualities.
General Schoteld has grown stout, but his
figure is still erect He is a man VINO re-
tains his vigOr in spite OF his SO years, and
his movements are the very embOdiments of
nervous activity. He is very bald, and what
little hair still clngS to his head and his
snow.
MY errand here at this time" he said.

official nature. AS Chief of the Ordnance
Bureau, it is my duty to look over the sites
for the pro osed detenseS at San Diego and

aiming the ground there will return here
by the way Of Yosemite. That will be in

turning to Washington by the Northern
route. Nothing will be decided upon deiin-
itely nOw but | shall be able to discuss the
matter with my colleagues, and we can then
go to Congress for such amounts of money
as we may need. Upon the nature Of the
ground selected for the dtfenses, of course,
will depend the caliber aud range Of the
guns needed.
THE site here, OF course, has been de-
cided upon, but | could not think OF going
East without visiting the soldiers at the va

pleasant duties"
