Albert Arlington, who married Mabel
Fields in Sacramento on Wednesday, with
ont the consent of her mother, and was
driven out of the house ON Thursday when
he went over with his bride to her mother 5
residence at 1909 Geary street, San Fran
cisco, went over again on Friday to see and
demand his wife, but found the house to let
and mother and bride flown to Los Angeles.
Albert does not intend to be defeated in that
way, and accordingly went yesterday to
Los Angeles to have the law on his mother
in-law. He will make affidavit that his
wife is restrained of her liberty, and unless
her filial affection is stronger than her love
for her young husband she will undoubtedly
return with him, because she is of legal age
to marry without her mothers consent.

County. Ill, is investigating the title to 612

a suit is now pending on their behalf to
recover one-half of the tract.
HAYwARpS' ESTATE.
When the late founder of the town of
Haywards made his will he had been i'll for
some time and had been compelled to take
opiates more or less, and this is now said
to be the ground of a contest in preparation
by the twenty three year-old son, William.
He is allowed the income of $4,000 under
trust until he is 30 years old, but his high
spirit rebels at this lntmatiOn that he IS not
as competent TO take care of the $4,000 now
as he will be seven years from now. His
half-Sister,s who is 81 years of age, is only
allowed the income of $4,000 during her
natural life, while the widow is given the
residue, about $4,000. 1t is said that the
contest has not been fully decided upon,
though the preliminary papers are under
preparation.
Christopher a. Buckley, who sometimes
dips into San Francisco politics as diver
sion, has awarded a contract for an $4,000
house on his ranch near Liyermore known
as Ravenswood.
The Highland Park and Fruitvae Street
Railroad has executed mortgage in $780,
900 TO secure funds to be used upon its

Edward T. Holland, Assistant City Clerk,
assumed their duties under their Democratic
chief yesterday. MeSsrs. Rowland Patter-
son, tine retiring deputy and assistant, be-
came satisfied, especially the former, that
the charter, while the provision is that the
term of the Clerk and deputy is two years

them at any time, because Section 80 saws
the term of two years from the date of his
appointment, unless sooner removed by res
olution."
