was begun in the Superior Court to-day

Wristen. for maintenance, alleging In her
complaint that on September 2S. while the
parties were living in Fresno. he drove her
from their home, leaving her without any
means Of support. She asked for 500 per
month and attorneys fees. The Judge OF
San Joaquin County granted her an in1unc-
ton restraining the defendant from dispos-
ing of his personal property.
The case was transferred to this county,
and came up for hearing this morning on
the crosS-complaint filed by the defendant.
denying the equities of her complaint and
and praying for an absolute divorce.
Wrsten alleges that while he was sick in
Fresno last September his wife tried to
poison him by arsencal poisons. He states
further that all his property is his separate
property. and that there Is no community
property of the value of 0,000 as alleged
by the plaintiff. They own considerable

STONErIAN SCANDAL.
The Complaint of Mrs. Brunson
Filed.
Reconciliation Now Declared ImpoS-
sibIe- Something About the
Principals in the Suit.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

Los ANGELES, Dec. 12.--The divorce
suit Of Mrs. Brunson against Judge Brun-
son, in which Mrs. o. FL. SLOVENIAN is CO.
respondent, was filed to-day. Its delay
was not due, as has been stated. to nego-
tiations in progress between Mrs. Brunson
and Judge Brunson over division of prop
erty, nor has il been delayed to give Judge
Brunson an opportunity to read it, but SIM
ply because the complaint was incom-
plete. 1t had been drawn with the excep-
tion Of certain dates. which had to be filled
in and which the attorneys were not able to
obtain until to-day. n
Under the State laws 1t Is impossible to
give the contents. but they are understood
TO be about as already outlined.
Detective Lawson has worked up the
case for Mrs. Brunson, and he has had de-
tectiyes at work watching the house and
within call at all hours for several months
past. Mr.. Lawson states that Mrs. Brun-
son has not the slightest feeling of harsh
ness against the Judge and that she has al
ways spoken of the Judge to him in the
most kindly. though sorrow ful, manner.
reeEetting deeply that their home had been
broken up, but recognizing clearly that re-
concilation is now impossible.
Judge Brunson, 1t is stated, has FREE
quently appeared on the street walking
with Mrs. Stoneman arm -in-Grm, and has
also been out riding with her. He has been
seen visiting the Stoneman residence as
often as five and six days In the week
There does not appear to have been any
secrecy maintained by either Mrs. Stone
man or the Judge concerning the Judges
visits to her.
Those persons who know Judge Brunson
Familiarity say ne is a remarkable man, that
his powers Of conversation are wide and
splendid, that he has an acute and penetrat-
ing mind, is deeply learned. and is possessed
of q kind of magnetism which makes his
presence to those persons on whom he
wishes to exert a fascination irresistible.
Mrs. Stoneman being a woman with many
OF the same qualities Ii can be seen that the
pair doubtless found much enjoyment in
each others society.
Judge Brunson's last divorce was pro-
cured in this city. IL was granted at the
instance of his wife. He was married to
the present Mrs. Brunson several years
ago In San Francisco. She is lady OF very
sweet disposition aud beautiful character.
She was a widow when she married tina
Judge, but she had not, nor has now. anv
children. Her mother lives with her in the
Grand-avenue mansion. Judge Brunson
has son by one of his wives. but the young
man does not live inthis CITY, Mrs. Stone
man has four children. two boys and two
girls. The boys are abroad. but the young
ladies live with their mother. All the chill
dren are grown.

THE OREGON ROAD GRANT.
A Decision Given Against the Govern
menf az Portland

PORTLAND. Dec. 12.-ln the United States
Circuit Court Judge Gilbert to-day decided
the case OF the United States against the
Willamette Valley and Cascade Mountain
Wagon Road Company in favor of the de-
PENDANTS. The controversy in the case was
over 100000 acres OF land granted by Con-
gress to the company for building a road.
The Government claimed that the company
had never completed the road. and that the
grant should revert TO the United States
The court held that the west end of the
road had been completed within the time
limit expressed in the act. and since the suit
was commenced the remainder had been
finished. The certificate issued by the
Governor at the time the work was done
could not be called into question as there
was no evidence showing fraud in anv
respect 1t was also denied that Alexander
WE'LL and David Cohn, the present owners
of the land had purchased it in good faith
and that the Government is estopped.
