MRS. SMITHS STORY.
She Tells a PitifuI Tale to a San
Francisco Paper.
The Gross Injustice Done Her by a
Former Publication-Sad Story
of Suffering Wife.

The statement was published the other
day-with the customary embellishments
that Mrs. j. B. Smith of Clipper Gap,
Placer County, had abandoned an indul-
gent husband and happy home and eloped
to Oakland with hired man named Dan
Mclaughlin.
To San Francisco reporter Mrs. Smith
on Wednesday Indignantly denied that
she ever eloped with Mclaughlin, sor
that she has ever been in Oakland, except
to pass through that city on her way
there. She tells a story of cruelty and
neglect on the part of her husband which
seems almost incredible.
According to her statement they have
been married about twenty years and
have five children, the Oldest being and
the youngest , years. For the past twelve
years her husband has rallied to furnish
his family with the necessaries of life.
For what food and clothing they have re-
ceived during that time they have been
dependent upon the Sacramento County
Hospital. the Superintendent of which,
DIR. White, is the husband of her sister
in-law.
Mrs. Smith asserts that her husband
frequently beat her, and on two occasions
whipped her with a blacksnake, raising
great welts on her bare body. Atanother
time he drove her from the ranch with d
double-barreled shotgun, and she was
obliged to seek shelter with neigh Dor a
mile and half distant. Mrs. Smith lays
her troubles to her husbands intemper-
ance. She says that last summer he
made two of the little boys. aged 10 and
IL years, saw tifty-two cords of wood in
the broiling sun. This wood he carted to
town and disposed of it for liquor, not
withstanding there was no flour or other
food supplies in his house.
AS to the accusation that she pawned
her husbands jewelry for $50 Mrs. Smith
says that the only jewelry she ever had
was ring and nickel-watch that the
children used to play with. These she
sold for g 20 get food for herself and chill
dren. Last April, being unable TO endure
/ her hardships on the ranch any longer
she came to Sacramento. She could not
take her children with her, as they had
no clothing.
She told DR.. and Mrs. White where the
children were and they sent for them,
and now have them at the County Hos
pital OF Sacramento. She then went to
san Francisco, where she has since been
working as housekeeper. Her husband
was appointed watchman Of the Sacra-
mento Hospital, and has since gone 10 San
Francisco twice looking for her, but her
friends have refused to reveal her where
abouts.
Mrs. Smith denies that she ever eloped
with the hired man or had any knowl-
edge of him other than that her husband
told her he had hired Mclaughlin to
work on the ranch.

DELLA INGHAM'S GIFT.
1t Was a Wedding Present, But She

1t Was Wedding Present, But She
Got 1t Back.
The suit of Eta E. Ingham against
Della r. Ingham, for the possession of
house and lot, was argued before Supe-
rior Judge Catliu yesterday and sub
mitted. The court took the case under
advisement.
The plaintiff is the divorced wife of
Fred 1ngham, son of the defendant, Della
lngham. Itappears that when the young
folks were married the defendant gave
them the property in question. When
the divorce was contemplated Eta was
induced TO release the homestead to Fred's
mother, the understanding being that the
latter was to furnish money enough to
send Fred out of the State. She gave
grant deed.
The plaintiff now claims that the deed
she gave was deed OF trust, and that she
understood that the property was to be
returned to her as soon as Fred left. Mrs.
Della ingham, however. maintains that
the decd was an absolute one, and she is
backed up by her son.
W. II. Layson argued the case for the
plaintiff, and Joseph Hughes and C. H.
Oatman for the defendant.

ance promises to be large.

AT THE BATHS
The Heavy-Weight Race to Take Place
in the Near Future.

The Heayy-W Weight Race to Take Place
in the Near Future.
The heated term brings much discom-
fort to the majority of people, and starched
collars and immaculate shirt blossoms are
hard to maintain in their pristine fresh
ness, but the man who loves bathing HES
himself to the swimming baths and there
disports himself in the clear, fresh water,
finding there a renewal OF his strength
and feeling of comfort that others do
not know.
The present hot spell has kept the
baths well filled, and the ladies are more
and more appreciating the advantages
they afford, both for swimming and for
recreation.
People are asking when the heavy
weight race is to come off, and we are
credibly informed that if nothing hap
pens it will take place in something more
than week from now. E. J. Gregory,
Harry Gamble and other known experts
are training for it, and it is rumored that
several dark horses are also practicing.

CONVICT WILSON
To be Examined on Two Charges of
Felony for Jail Breaking

To be Examined on Two Charges of
Felony for Jail Breaking.
Thomas Wilson, convict at the State
Prison, was examined by Judge Steele Of
Folsom yesterday on a charge of felony
for escaping from the prison and for at
tempting to escape.
There are two charges. Wilson es-
capped a couple of years ago by tuuneling
under the prison, with -four or five others,
and the first charge is based on this. He
was also one of those who attempted to
escape during the recent break. The
warrants were sworn to by Warden Aull.
and served by Constable Burke. The
case was set for Saturday.
Wilson has yet some months to serve.
This is the first time such a procedure
has been taken in California. The others
implicated III the recent break are all life
timers. and charge against them would
not do any good.
