Tho Grand Jury Ignores the Charges
Against Tiliie and Henry Ludwig.
STOCKTON, June 15.-TilIie Ludwig, the
young woman who shot and killed a
brakeman named DeClarke at Tracy last
week, and was held to answer by the
Justice of the Peace at Tracy on charge
of manslaughter, was to-day discharged
from castody on presentation Of report
OF the Grand Jury ignoring the case.
When the woman's case was disposed of
the Grand Jury inquired into the charge
against her brother, Henry Ludwig, who
shot and wounded DeCiarke several
weeks ago while he was trying to steal
into Tillie's room to kill her. The case
against him was also ignored and dis
missed.
The Grand Jury severely censured
Maurice Byrnes, the Tracy Constable,
who had charge of DeClarke when rillie
shot him, and charge him with gross
carelessness in the discharge of his duty.
The jury say the shooting of DeClarke by
Henry Ludwig and the killing of De-
Clarke by Tillie Ludwig might have
been averted if Constable Byrnes had
properly performed his duty as a peace
officer. Mrs. Ludwig left the courtroom
with relatives, and returned to her home
on the evening train.

Manufacturers and Employees Disagree
on Wage Scale.
PITTsBURG, June 15.-There was seri-
Gus disagreement on the wage question
between the Amalgama,ed Association of
Iron and Steel Workers and the manu-
facturers, and unless there is compro-
mise effected there will be a general
strike on July lst. The Amalgamated
Association completed the Western scale
of prices governing wages in the iron
mills to-day, and the scale was presented
10 the Pittsburg manufacturers at con-
ference this afternoon. The scale is
chiefly surprising from the fact that high
priced workers had their wages cut. The
joint conference was in session nearly
three hours, and then adjourned without
arriving at any agreement. Both sides
are firm. The manufacturers insisted
that they would not sign any scales but
their own. If strike or lockout is or
dered it will effect 100000 men, and cause
an almost general suspension of work in
the mills at Pittsburg and the West.

FRESNO, June 15.-If the wind had not
blown off little May Buchanan's hat she
would no doubt by this time be in San

attire, and certainly looked the prettiest
boy ever seen in Fresno. Her wavy,
chestnut tresses were hid under chic
little wig. and as she was passing down
Tulare street at noon to-day on her wav

cisco, a gust of wind blew off her hat
and dlsarranged the wig, causing her hair
to fall down her back. She hastily re-
arranged it, but not before she had been
observed by a clerk in an insurance Office.
He followed her, and she continued on
her way to the depot, where she entered
Pullman sleeper. The clerk informed a
policeman, who arrested May and took
her home to her mother. She was defiant.
and all she would say was that she was
going to visit young friend in San Fran
cisco.
a reporter called at her home. but her
mother would not let her be interviewed.
The mother stated that May had merely
intended to 60 to San Francisco to see a
friend, but would not explain why she
chose to masquerade in male attire or
why she should make the trip secretly at
all. The girl is about Ii years old and is
very pretty. She bought the BOYS
clothes at clothing store. Another girl
was with her and passed herself off as
Mays sister. 1t is not known where
May got the money. Her companion
rented room at the hotel and May went
there and put on her disguise.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 15.-This morn
ing Sergeant Cosgrove of the United
States Marine Service called at the
Morgue and requested the Coroner to in
vestigate the death of his sister-in-law,
Mrs. Mary Braumbeck, whom he claimed
died yesterday under suspicious circum-
stances.
The story told at the Morgue was sub
stantially as follows: About four months
ago his sister-in-law, Mary Tighe, mar
rleo Valentine Braumbeck, carpenter,
who came here from Australia a short
woman was taken sick, and ever since
then her husband has refused to allow
her relatives to see her. 1t was known,
however, that she expected to become
mother, and for that reason Mrs Cos
grove called repeatedly at the house. The
Sergeant states that Just before Mrs.
Braumbeck's death his wife managed to
elude the watchers and entered the sick
room, and that she was then informed by
the sick woman that she had been
butchered.
All the relatives of the dead woman are
of the opinion that there was something
wrong in the matter, and her brother,
james Tighe, said this afternoon that he
would press an investigation. At the
same time be gave Valentine Braun Deck
the worst kind of q character. 81 cannot
see," said he, what induced my sister to
marry him. First he lived off of his
brother, and since he has been married
he lived Oft of my sister. She had about
81, 600 or 5000, and l believe there has
been foul play in the matter somewhere"
