DINGLEY'S WIFE
She Files n Strong Affidavit Against
the Coffee King.

She Files n Strong Affidavit Against
the Coffee King.
There was filed yesterday in the Su-
perior Court by Julia E. Dingley an affi-
davit in which she denies many of the
allegations contained in her husbands
complaint in his suit for divorce, and
peppery.
Mrs. Dingley alleges that on August
4th she was compelled to leave their resi-
dence; that her husband drove her away
by his cruel and inhuman treatment; that
he called her vile and opprobrious names
and threatened to throw her out of the
house, assaulted her and demanded that
she consent to a divorce; and that, unless
she did so consent, he would eject her
from their residence, and finally did COM
pei her to go away and remain.
Since August 4th she has been away
from the residence and dependent upon
the charity of friends and relatives for
support. In order to compel her to re-
move, Mrs. Dingley also alleges that her
husband told her that he had hired pri-
vate detectives to track her every move
ment, and that these men are in his paw
and will swear to anything he desires.
and that they will swear away her charac-
ter and reputation when this action
comes up for trial; that he has in his en-
ployment certain Spaniard, or Portu-
guese or negro, whom he says he hires as
a detective, and he has demanded such
person to insult her, and the said person
has, under instructions from plaintiff,
slapped her face in the presence of her
husband, who approved such acts and
assisted therein.
Her husband, she asserts, has instructed
such person to render 1t so unpleasant
and dangerous for her that it would be
impossible for her longer to live in the
residence; that others of his employees
have repeatedly insulted and abused her;
that Dingley has said that all he wanted
was to get rid of her and obtain a divorce
from her; and, if she would consent, he
would pay her afterwards to come back
and live with him as his mistress, which
statements he made in the presence of
his daughter; that it is necessary that
suitable provision be made for her sup
port; that she should also be allowed
reasonable sum with which to defray the
expenses of this litigation, which will be
heavy, as the plaintiff, with his great
wealth, has frequently boasted that he
would spend $4,000 to obtain the divorce.

LATEST BASEBALL GOSSIP.
Colonel Robinson Engineering New
League Project.
1t VIII Include Six Clubs of California
Talent and Sacramento VIII
Be In 1t.

Baseball is to be revived again in Cali
fornia, according to Colonel Robinson,
owner of the Oakland Baseball Club. The
revival will not, says the Examiner, in
any way interfere with the doings of the
only two remaining clubs of the late
California League-the Oaklands and the
San Franciscos-for it appears that the
coming league will be new one managed
by new managers, and consist of six en-
tirely new clubs with none but Califor-
mia players.
According to Robinson, "the railroad"
has scheme to revive baseball, and this
scheme was the suggestion of the trium-
virate of the Haight-street grounds, and
it has been favorably considered, but the
Haight-street Ground Association will go
out of existence as soon as the new asso-
citation is organized. Said the Colonel:
Harris, Finn and myself constitute the
Haight-street Ground Association. and
are under no obligations whatever to the
railroad. They will never have anything
to do with baseball again, because they
are satisfied they can never make a snc-
cess of it.
we went out to consult the railroad
people to-day, and the result of that con-
sultation was that it has been practically
decided to revive baseball. We talked
the matter over, and plans have been ar
ranged, which, If carried out, will give
California the best league it ever had. 1t
viii be organized on entirely different
lines from any league the State has ever
had before, in that it will be composed
entirely of local players. There will be
six clubs in the league. 4 tour-club
league would not be success for many
reasons. 1t will be organized on the CO.
operative plan, for a baseball league in
| California cannot stand high salaries.
Only few of the men will be given sala-
ries.
such system would give better salts
faction than any other method that could
bo devised. There will be no flying
around the country after players. There
are plenty of local men here to play the
game. If there is a club at Santa Rosa it
should have Santa Rosa players, and if
there are two clubs in San Francisco they
should have players from different sec
tions of the city. In that way rivalry
will spring up that will create an interest.
believe that the new league will be or
ganized by business men of the different
cities where the clubs are located.
There will probably be club at Santa
Rosa, one at Stockton, another at Sacra-
mento and others at Oakland, San Jose
and San Francisco, and as for players,
there are plenty of good ones in all those
places. All they need is careful training
and enough local pride to make them en-
thusiastic. When such a league is or
ganized, Finn, Harris and myself are
ready to step out of baseball entirely and
give Haight street over to the new asso-
ciationp

Rain That Isn't Very Wet.

A popularity common to rain in the
Bermudas, the Windward Islands, the
Hawaiian group and Alaskan waters is
that it isn't very wet. In none of these
regions do the natives fear the rain, and
even the foreigners soon come to know
that they take no harm from being
caught in a storm. 1t was noted by men
on the ships lately patrolling Behring
Sea that a portion of the deck slightly
protected, dried out white, even in the
midst of a shower, and the wet clothing
hung under slight shelter on deck dried

Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres Of
land in the heart Of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land. to
land Of fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 to $50 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 100, 16o and 500 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above Indicated by the pay-
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment Of
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years and then
the purchaser 10 to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments with in
terest at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum.
making payments extending over a period OF
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at $40 per acre
and good agricultural land at $40 an acre
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming. and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
800 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove TO
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase OF good agricultural land at SEQ
an acre, and for qualities grading down to ia
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms Of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy OF
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase OF this
body of land was the breaking up OF a large
holding for the purpose Of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.
