hit him and WAS in turn struck with
a club. a fight followed in which both
men fought fiercely, but neither was
dangerously hurt before being separa-

idly and before Goodman had reached

They thought that Goodman was gong
back to his home to report to some
miners who were stopping there.

running crowd with a gun. They
caught Goodman at the corner of Gay
and Vine streets and soon had him es-
cOrted by policemen 10 the city hall.
The riot alarm had been sounded i'll
the meantime.

TICKLE DIR. INQUIRE.
Miss Illig Says He Stole Her
Money and Affections.
THE DOCTORS VERSION OF 1T.
He Says He Befriepded Her and Now
She Pursues Him Because He
Welded Another Woman.

Miss s. E. Illig, who for some time has
been identified with the work of the W.
@. I. O., called on Prosecuting Attorney
John f. Miller last evening and wanted a
warrant issued for the arrest of DR.. J. S.
Mcclure upon charge of larceny. Miss
Illig, who is of uncertain age, complained
that in addition to swindling her out of a
sum of money, the doctor had toyed with
her affections-in fact. that he promised
to make her his wife, but forgot his sol
emn promise and married a younger
woman.
Miss Illig. in relating her story to the
attorney, said that when DR.. Mcclure was
penniless she took compassion on him, set
him up in business. rented an Office and
placed carpet, furniture and window
curtain in the room, loaned him her $50
gold watch, so as to enable him to appear
respectable. and also loaned him $50 in
money. She says that the doctor sold the
furniture. carpet and curtains and appro-
priated the money to his own use; that he
"blew in" the $50 and pawned her gold
watch. When the doctor proposed TO her
she accepted him, and forgave all his pre-
vious mIsdeeds, but did not by any means
declare the debt he owed her null and
void.
Affairs ran along lovely, so she said,
until the doctor fell heir to fortune, one
of his relatives in Ireland having died.
That was about four or five months ago.
The doctor began to take better care of
himself and bought new suit of clothes
and new silk hat. He looked splendid,
and to her he was the finest man in
America. She began to prepare for the
wedding, for had he not promised to
marry herr
The news of the doctors marriage about
two months ago to young woman who is
scarcely out Of her teens blasted Miss
Illig's hopes. She demanded the return
of her watch, the $50 in money and the
cost Of the Office furniture, but she says
the doctor turned a deaf ear to her de-
mands and said that he never had her
watch or her money and, in fact, was not
indebted to her for anything.
But the worst of all is" said Miss Illig,
as she concluded her story to the prosecut-
ing attorney, she married the other
woman"
Mr.. Miller sent for DR.. Mcclure and in
formed him of Miss Illig's charges. The
doctor denied the story in toto. and said:
Why. she's insane; or perhaps she's trying to
blackmail me. She met my young wife on the
street today and abused her, and afterwards
called at our rooms in the Rochester lodging
house and created a disturbance, and my wife
had to threaten to call policeman before
she would 60 away. l never accepted favor
from her In my life She first came to my no
tice fifteen months ago, and aided her in
financial way and helped her to furnish her

was missed, and twenty-five days later was
fished from the bay at the foot of King
street. Her grief was pitiable to see.
From this point she gradually sank lower,
and although she continued to work in
restaurants, it was at irregular intervals.
She went to Tacoma and met '"Billy" Nc
Gall, who is plumber. The acquaintance
resulted in their coming to Seattle to live
together, tho girl going to work in the
Standard theater, while Mccall did moth
ing.
Mccall was still about his old haunts
yesterday and exhibited no interest in the
fate of his mistress. In response to a re-
quest from the proprietor of the Orth
house he called in the afternoon, but said
he had nothing whatever to do with the
affair, as he had gotten through with the
girl the night before. His conduct is de-
scribed by those who saw him as being
heartless. He is finely built man, with
handsome face and specifically pleasing
manners.
The remains will be held at Bonney &
Stewards awaiting instructions from the
parents at Victoria.

A Charge of Fraud.

John Astell sued Angus McAulay yester.
DAY in the superior court to recover $102,
which he claims he loaned the defendant
by reason of false representations. His
complaint alleges that in October. 1890,
Astell represented himself as the author
lied agent of the Ayer-Chapin Company,
and said that it would pay per cent.
month for the use of money placed with it
Tor investment. The plaintiff gave Nc
Aulay 500, for which he was to receive 1
per cent. interest per month. The loan
md interest amount at present to Sill, on
which there has been paid SIS, leaving a
balance of s1o2. 1t is charged that Nc
Aulay was not the agent of the company,
and that he obtained the money by repre-
knting himself as such.

= BRUTALLY BEAT A HoRsE.~
humane Society vigorously Prosecuting
Two Cruel Men.

Tuesday evening Nils Wennerhohn and
Pete Ostergreen were arrested for cruelty
to animals. They took horse out of their
stable on Yesler avenue, near Fifth street,
and taking heavy whip gave him ter
rible beating. Ostergreen held the horse
while Wennerhohn tiayed him, and when
the latter got tired they changed places
and Ostergreen welded the whip.
Spectators promptly notified the police
and the men were arrested. They pleaded
guilty in Justice Won Tobel's court yester-
day and they were held to the superior
court. The Seattle Humane Society and
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Cald well are
taking lively interest in the matter and
1t is believed that the men will pay the
penalty for their brutality.
The horse was mass of heavy welts,
raised by the blows of the whip, and the
blood flowed in several places. The ami
mai suffered intensely and has been taken
charge of by the police until the case is
disposed of, as its wounds will be con-
vincing proof. The action of the men
seems to have been entirely without provo
cation
