A Sensation Now Agitating Boyle

A Faithless Wife and Her ParamOnr
Caught = What Bank Clerk
Wore Black Eyes Last
Week?

On New York avenue. on the Heights,
resides family of three, husband, wife
and one child, boy, says the Sayings.
The woman is prepossessing, rather in
clined to be giddy and seeks notoriety,
and she is getting it. The husband is
an industrious man, occupying an ex-
cellent position with a firm over in the
city, and is devoted to his wife and
child, and lavlshes his earnings unstint-
ingly upon his family. No wish but
what was gratifed. But with all this
the woman was not content with the
love and affection of her husband.
For some time the husband has noted
a change in his wife's demeanor, and
gradually he has awakened to the real
ization of the fact that all was not right.
He was slow to accept the truth, and
10th to believe it. However, things
went on, and day by day he was more
than ever convinced that his wife was
untrue to him. She was in the habit of
driving out withsa young gentleman
who occupies responsible position in
one of our city banks. These visits
were prolonged away in the night.
Finally letter fell into his hands that
was evidence enough. Without saying
a word he bided his time, and secured
the aid of detective to assist him to
work up the case, as we'll as to be wit
ness in the denouement that was to
follow.
Last Sunday morning he informed his
wife that he was going TO Catalina, and
would return Monday night. He kissed
her goodbye, but instead of taking the
train he went to the Westminster hotel
and met his detective friend, and to-
gether the two planned. The husband
kept in the background all day while
the detective was out taking in the
situation. About five O'Clock he re-
turned to the Westminster. and after a
hurried conversation with the husband
the two left for North Spring street,
turning west on Temple. They pro-
ceeded up Temple short distance,
stopping in front of a house, and then
cautiously approached the front door.
Without pausing to ring the bell they
went in, passed up the stairs and
raped at the door of one of the
rooms upstairs. There was a noise
made on the inside, but before any
plans could be arranged the irate hus-
band had burst in the door and there
stood in the middle of the apartment
his guilty wife and paramour. With
glaring eyes the men looked at each
other for moment, and then engaged
in rough and tumble fight. The de-
tective looked on, while the. woman
tainted. The husband, after giving the
despoiler of his homes pretty sound
thrashing, left, warning his wife to be
at home inside of an hour. The lady
returned, and left for the northern part
of the state, while the boy remained
with the father. A divorce suit will fol-

Judge Dick Egan Experiences its Bale

A good story is told relative to visit
to Redondo, recently made by Judge
Dick Egan, of San Jusn-by-the-Sea. 1t
is said that in company with another
Judge" from the east, he took walk
upon Sunday, down the beach. Both
gentleman were armed with kodaks, and
in the course of their peregrinations they
came across beautiful young lady who,
unconscious of their proximity, was
busily engaged, hat and shoes off, in
looking for shells upon the waters edge.
Both gentlemen prepared to take a snap
shot at the unconscious lady, and in
his eagerness to obtain picture before
the subject looked up and spoiled it,
Judge Egan approached too near the
water, and treacherous breaker came
in drenching him nearly to his
waist. His friend laughed, the young
lady fled, and after going short distance
further, the worthy judge retired to a
recess in the bluff, removed a portion
of his drenched clothing, and proceeded
to wiring the water out. While thus en-
gagged, and looking turtively over his
shoulder to see if anyone was coming,
his friend took two snap shots at him
with his kodak. Tie two pictures both

A PERSONAL ENCOUNTER.
A Little Affair Between Nick, Covarru-
bias and Manuel Den.

Nick Covarrubias and Manuel Den on
Thursday evening, at Santa Barbara, in
front of the Commercial hotel, engaged
in personal encounter in which, it is
reported by arrivals on yesterdays train
from the channel city, that knives were
drawn by the two men, and a serious
affair only prevented by friends of both
parties who happened to be present and
who interfered.
1t is stated that there has been bad
blood between the two men for several
years, in fact since an affray in which
they were engaged in San Francisco in
which Mr.. Covarrubias was cut IN the
hand in consequence of his seizing Mr..
Den's knife.

Aid for Starving Russia.

A"Union Veteran, in sending acontribution
to The STAR for the relief Of Russias starving
peasants, writes: "In the past when Uncle
Sam was in the most need of friend it was
brave old Russia that rounded too and in.
timated by her manner that Sam should have
fair play, something that the loyal soldiers OF
the late war should not forget. Every dollar
helps"
Another contributor to the fund says:I, too,
think that ways and means should be devised to
assist about 20 100000 of poor starving crea-
lures who would gladly accept for food what
our poorest cast away. This country. overflow
ing as it is with plenty, should not forget that
Russia befriended us in the time of our dire
distress. We are more favoraoly situated per-
haps than any other nation to aid those starving
people. Our harvests have been unexampled,
our surplus of food products unprecedented.
Prosperity abounds on every hand, and VIC
should, as a humane people. give our unfortu-
nate fellow beings in far away Russia some of
the surplus substance which Almighty God has
showered upon LIE. Let, therefore, the people
OF this city make such donations for this pur-
pose as the means Of each may permit, and the
blessings Of divine Providence will be our re-
ward"

The Mexican Revolution.

Acting Secretary Grout today said that he
regarded the situation on the Mexican frontier
as serious and the War Department was
exerting itself to prevent further viola
tions Of the neutrality laws by Garzas
band of revolutionists. If necessary to
prevent these men from crossing backward or
forward between Mexico and the United States
the entire military force under Gen. Stanley
command will be distributed along the
north bank Of the Rio Grande. The
United States marshal also has unlimited
powers in the matter of augmenting his posse,
and will cooperate fully with the military au-
thorities in the effort to arrest the disturbers.
1t is within his discretion to employ tho
Texan Rangers in this capacity, and as
this force OF armed and mounted police is
well acquainted WITH the country and the
habits of the Mcxicans along the border he will
doubtless avail of their services. 1t is believed
at the War Department that Garzas movement
is gaining in strength, notwithstanding the
efforts OF the United States and Mexican troops
to restrain it, and some officers recall
the fact that Diaz, the president Of Mexico,
reached his present station through q revolu-
tionary movement conducted across the bonn

THE RAILROAD CO.'S BUILDING
Inspector Entwisle Talks About the Alleged
Violations Of Regulations

At the last meeting of the local Federation OF
Labor communication was ordered TO be sent
to the Commissioners calling their attention 90
the ''open violation of the building regula-
lions by the contractor OF the building now
being erected for the Washington and George
town Railroad Company near the navy yard.
The regulations call for all floor joists resting
on walls to be cut on a bevel two and one-qGar-
ter inches TO the foot The josts in this building
are fifteen inches wide and are cut of square.
In speaking Of the matter to a STAR reporter
this morning Building Inspector Entwisle said
that the communication had not as yet reached
him, and so he had not taken any action
with reference to it.
The building regulations do call for bevel-
ing of the floor joists il is true" said Mr.
Entwisle, "but have always had grave doubts
as TO the wisdom Of the regulation. The object
IN beveling is that in of fire the joists may
fall IN without tearing out the brickwork
around them in the walls IL has more serious
drawback. however, in weakening the building.
for the bricks acting upon the beveled end as
upon wedge have a tendency to force the
beams out, and the beams do not get the same
purchase as they would if the ends were left
square. For this reason the regulation has
never been rigidly enforced. j have not yet
been called upon TO inspect the building in
question, but when am this is the report l
shall mako to the Commissioners IN the
matter"

READ HER RUIN IN A NOVEL.
A Vienna Family Broken Up by Rcalisti,
Literature.

Literature.
The possibilities of the Ibsen-Tolstoi current
in literature in affecting real life were illus
trated remarkably in the district criminal
court of Leopoldstadt, Vienna, some two weeks
ago. The complainant was a dry goods mer-
chant August Klein. His wife had been forced
to her ruin six years since by the prisoner, a
letter carrier. who had gained access to her
parlor in her husbands absence. The story of
the wife's six years silence and the breaking
of it were told thus in court.
Judge Ito wife)--I must say you have taken
long time to come to your confession. Hav-
ing held your peace until now, it were better
had you never spoken.
Mrs. Klein-I was silent for shame.
Judge Ito husband)-How came she to con-
fess to you?
Mr.. kleIn-We were reading novel, a real
istic novel about divorce. In il a lbertine
played the leading part and forced a young
wife to her ruin. The stuff was not to my
taste and threw down the book, saying to my
wife: such things happen in novels, but
never in real life" looked at my wife and
saw that she was trembling from head to foot
and choking back the tears. 'Yes, yes, in real
life," she said. mo. never" said. Yes"
she cried, and fell to the floor, clasping my
knees. YES" she sobbed, lit happens in real
life. for I, wretched woman, have experience d
it" thought she had lost her senses and tried
to pacify her, but she clung to my knees and
made her whole dreadful confession. On the
next day began proceedings.
The lawyer for the prisoner acknowledged
that his client was guilty, as alleged, but
moved for acquittal on the ground that under
the statute of limitations the letter carriers
crime was outlawed. This motion was granted
by the judge. With q shout OF rage Klein
caught his wife by the shoulders, threw her
fawra fhx. 1n&s Las. .al Ia
her, you rascal; take her and her children"
end then hastened from the room.
