band. William. which was heard before

Mrs. Weber says that her husband
kept all Of the money and purchased all
OF the provisions for the house. She al
leges that he kept all of the food locked
up in the cellar, and only took the food
out so that he and the children could be
fed. but refused to give her any.
Once he succeeded in getting into the
cellar, she continues, and her husband
beat and kicked her so that she has
been sick ever since. She further says
that since they were married in 1872 her
husband has not purchased her a single
article OF clothing, making her secure

that on March 10 he choked her.

M'CARRAHAN IS DEAD.
The Famous Claimant Will Ap-
peal No More to Congress.
Thirty-six Years He Fought for What
the Courts Said Was His.
Opposed by Shrewd Corporation
That "Squatted" on His Lands.
my Associated Press. J

WASHINGTON. April 2i.-Wiliam Nc
GarrahIn. the celebrated claimant to the
New 1dria mine, died at Providence
Hospital at 1l.45 A. NJ. to-day. He had
been a familiar figure at the Capitol for
years. and was well-known to the sena-
tors and members, n majority OF whom,
were believers in the justice OF his
claim.
William McGarrahan had spent thir-
ty-six years and fortune in the prose-
cution of his claim to rich tract OF
mineral land in California, known as
the Panoche Grande Ranch. The tract
had been five times legally declared his
own, yet he died an old and poor pa
ticnt In the Providence Hospital, when
had he possessed what he fought for he
would have been among the wealthiest
mine owners in the country.
He never once lost his nerve or his
hope In all the long struggle. His case
was again about to come before Con-
gress
During all his weary years OF litiga-
tion and petitloning McGarrahan was
nominally arraigned against the United
States Government. That Is to say. II
the title to the Panoche Grande did not
vest In him. as he claimed. It did vest
In the United States.
Yet 1t has not been the United States
who really opposed him. The United
States courts three times affirmed his
title to the land. congressional inveSti-
gating committees declared in his favor,
and various officials of high degree who
passed upon his claim expressed them
selves as perfectly satisfied with the
clenrness of his title.
HIS real opponent was n private cor
roration known as the New Idria Min
4 Company. which squatted upon his
land shortly after he purchased 1t and
has ever since been making enormous
profits out OF the rich deposits of quick
silver found beneath Its rocky surface.
At every turn the well paid lawyers
and agents of the New Idria appeared
to combat him. and though he repeatedly
won and revon his title. a war of tech
nicality was waged upon h!m. and legal
difficulties turned UP at every step. cum
n.ngly devised. so az to block him and
send him AGAIN and again to the courts
and to Congress for help.
A Congress Committee called attention
to the fact that at several points in the
controversy, where Mr. McGarrahan had
apparently nothing to do but take
possession of his own. II would be found
that some necessary piblic record had
been surrepttiously mutilatei, so as to
throw the matter back again into the
courts.
McGarrahan was one Of the original
forty-niners. He was never married.

Relatives of Minnie Simons Appeal
TO the Coroner,

Coroner Creamer. OF Williamsburg, is
anxiously waiting to hear the result OF
a post-mortem examination which was
made to-day on the body OF Minnie
Simons OF 1911 Myrtle avenue.

and they appealed TO the Coroner.

noon, because II may do an Innocent
man an injustice.
Il found several people who say the
young woman had heart disease, and the
statement of the relatives should he
suhstantiated before being published

factorily settle the matter"
