An InglorIous End.
William Havin, as told in THE CALL
Yesterday, few weeks ago left his wife
with the wife of another man named
Soaring. Mr.. Soaring and Mrs. Havlin
Immediately commenced proceedings for
divorces from the runaways, who had put
out for the East.
1t seems that Havlin was railroad en-
pl0ye, who travelled on pass, while the
runaway woman paid good hard coin for
her passage. For some reason his pass
dld not work and he was thrown off the
train at Bakersfield. HIS companion went
on, and Havnn, nothing daunted, detei-
mined TO have his hearts desire. He
reached her in Los Angeles. but by slow
freight But absence and n lack OF cola
evidently cooled the couples love. aud
they are next heard of al widely separated
points. Mrs. Soaring was in New Mexico
on September 5, and ON the 9th OF the same
month Havin was way back IN the old
Bay State al Winthrop, Mass.
From Albuquerque, n. Nj, Mrs. Soaring
wrote as follows to her little son:
Here am In New Mexico, and have been for
the past week. We leave for Chicago ana Bos-
ton tonight l wish you were here TO go along.
There are plenty Of real live Indians here, and
they are horrbl looking, too. Roxy, hope
your eye is all well by this time, and that you
are getting along nicely. ] Will write to you
when / get 10 Boston, and then want you 10
write 10 me, as / shall be anxious 10 hear from
you. Hoping you are well and happy as II
leaves me. Kindly remember me, as can
never forget you.
Now, it seems that Mr.. Havlin is not
sleeping on bed OF roses in far-away Mas
sachusetts A friend of his writes 10 this
place about him as follows:
William walked into our store the other day
and | thought l would drop. l had quite d talk
ana wanted 10 know If you knew he was here.
l aid not let Oh you wTOle aud told me he had
gone away. l asked him if he left akland
alone ana he said that he had. He wanted TO
know why, aud / told him that l neaId he had
a partner. He did not say one word. he said
he was coming in next day 10 90 out aud see ma.
but he has not put In an appearance yet. he
looked pretty dirty. His face was burned led
and il was bloaitd. His shoes were awful. H.
chewing tobacco and there were spots on
his tie and shirt. / wonder what his folks
think or what story he has told them.

The Eighth Street Bridge.
The City Council has been notified by
the Superintendent of Streets that the
bridge crossing the estuary at Eighth street
is in need of replanking.
On this subject II. L. Bullock writes to
a local paper stating that the planking on
the bridge is in good condition and will
last for years. Mr.. Bullock says that new
planking four inches thick was put on the
bridge only about two years ago and that
the planking is solid and in good condition,
those planks most worn being fully three
inches thick and good for at least five
years yet
MIR. Bullock claims TO be posted on
bridge building, ana he says that when the
bridge was replanked last he purchased
much of the cast-off pIanking to put into
new buildings he was erecting, and pre-
ferred 1t on account of its finely seasoned
condition. He used the tim Der for jOists
and sills.
This citizen wakes indignant over the
affair and intimates that here is ''nigger
