HARD ON HAYFORD.
HE MUST PAY HIS WIFE LIBERAL
ALIM0NY.
some Serious Charges Are Brought
Against Lawyer Who
Halls From Los
Angeles.

George Hayford, the Oakland attor-
nsy, says the San Francisco Chronicle,
lie learning by experience some Of the
pains and penalties incident to divorce
litigation. Several months have now
elapsed since Hsyford brought suit In
this city for a divorce from his wife,
Tillie, on the ground Of desertion. The
first he heard from the defendant after
that was when she appeared in court by
her ATTORNEYS and presented a demand
for alimony and counsel fees. Mrs.
Hayford. being in Los Angeles and en-
tirely without means, presented her
story through an affidavit.
Hayford, it appears, WAS formerly an
attorney in Los Angeles. He is accused
of having deserted his family there and
OF leaving them in destitute circum-
stances. Papers in the Gaze show that
Hayford fled suit for divorce in the
southern city last July. AS coon, how
ever, as Mrs. Hayford presented a mo-
tion for alimony he abandoned his wife,
and. it is alleged. fed to this city.
When confronted with demand for
alimony in the suit here Hayford
promptly came forward with plea OF
poverty. To this plea his wife made
spirited response when her motion Tor
alimony came to a hearing before Judge
Murphy yesterday. She then related
how since his advent here Hayiord had
frequently boasted of his lucrative prac-
tice and the amount OF money he WRs
making. 1t was also alleged that for
services rendered for the defendant
in the suit of the people against
Bentley at Los Angeles Hayford
received $4,000. This sum he is said
to have deposited in bank in the name
OF his typewriter designated in the wife 9
affidavit as an unmarried woman named
Abbie N. Michaels. Mrs. Hayford ad-
mits that she demanded of her husband
that he dispense with the services OF
Miss Michasls for reasons which, the
wife says, she will be more fully able
to explain in her deposition. 1t was
further represented that the attorney
spent large sums of money on persons
other than his wife. 30 that there WAS no
good reason why be should not be made
tosupport his family. AS evidence that
ehe did not desert her husband, Mrs.
Hayford referred to the receipt of let
ter from Hayford, In which he stated
that he would never live with her again
On this showing Judge Murphy, much
to Hayford's chagrin, made an order
directing the payment Of 500 council
fees and of $35 month alimony pend
ing the trial and determination OF the
suit.

A fishing party of seven, under the
charge Of Alex NIathison, were recently
some five miles off the coast of Redon-
do in the sloop Helen after barracuda.
One Of their number saw floating in the
water what first was taken for young
whale. On approaching the object it
was discovered to be a large sunfish
lying on it's side, evidently Ell joying the
sunlight. On the nearer approach of
the party the monster diyed beneath
the boat. coming to the surface a few
yards on the other side. The boat was
turned and bore down on it once more.
In its efforts to escape the fish was

Ing its equilibrium the gigantic fish sped

came battle royal between the great
ocean rover and the fishermen. After
long maneuvering rope was made fast
under its fins and attached to the mast.
The boat was nearly dragged beneath

A SNAKE HUNT.

Capture OF a Monmte- In nm Indian
Jungle.
The way was through a swamp
with bushes 6 feet high, and these had
go be cut away. Finally we came to a
|place where the grass was beaten down
rs if a hogshcad had been rolled along.
The guide went ahead. and then stop.
ped, holding up his bow. Creeping for
ward we saw an opening with a num-
her Of palm trees around, and in a low
place lay something a bright yellow In
color. This was the snake coiled up,
the head, big as a barrel and covered
with scales, lying on the edge of the
coils, and l could see the dead eyes
plainly. The captain sent Gordon, one
Of the Englishmen, powerful sailor,
and native hunter around through
the high grass to fetch clump of trees
back Of the snake. and then get hitch
on the bruteS head. The native went
up tree like cat. and. after several
passes, got the hitch under the snakes
jaw and back on the neck, and both
men took a turn of the line around the
tree and pulled. The snake seemed
dead but finally moved and gave hiss
like a steam whistle, and as the line
tightened the coils began to unfold like
a line Of battle cable, the sun flashing
on the golden scales. 1t was an awful
sight. In the middle the snake was as
thick as a mans body. The reptile be-
gan to lash the reeds down with its
tail. 1t lay quiet for minute, and a
hitch was taken about 10 feet from the
end, and twenty men threw themselves
on the body to keep it from coiling.
If we had been frogs it would have,
done as much good. The reptile gave
one twist and sent all hands flying. I
was chucked 10 feet, and fell fiat on
my back in mud Il foot deep. The line
was hauled taut. Our object was to
make 1T fast to a tree near by. Hitch
ed head and tail, the snake would wor-
~ itself out. For moment it ceased
to struggle The line was made fast.
The snake appeared to lengthen out,
when, with sudden twist. it parted
the line and lay in half circle.
The captain was in the blight, shout
ing to lis to get another line, when,
like a FASH the snake threw his tail
around the tree and caught him and
drew him in, and in second had three
coils around his body. "Good-by!" He
gave one gasp and was a dead man.
We tried to uncoil the tail. You might
as soon have tried to straighten iron
bar. 1t was horrid sight. The mans
face was like blood in color, and his
eyes started out of his head. Gordon
yelled out, "Cut the snake in 'two!"
and we went at it. The flesh was hard
as wood and tough like gutta percha,
but in two minutes we reached the
backbone; the long end reared 20 feet
in the air and came down with lash,
almost burying itself in the ground.
We pulled Capt. Kleffer out of the
coils. He was very large man, broad
at the hips. but from the waist down
his body was crushed and no thicker
than a hand-spike, and the broken
bones came through the skin. We dug
a grave with our bush knives and bur-
led him, piling all the logs we could
find on top, and after skining the snake
which was IS feet long, we started for
home. dom believe we should ever
have brought it in alive. The skin and
head weighed over 200 pounds.-Ash-

forward in evidence a foot clad in a
brand new and decidedly ncat-looking
cork-soled shoe.

same form of insanity myself" said I,
looking disparagingly at the pair which
incased my own feet

friend arose from his chair and walked
brisKly across the room, whereupon
there ensued n tllmult of suueaking
and shrieking from the soles of his
shoes that much resembled the grooming
of a prairie wagon crossing the plains.
II bought these Shoes" continued
Craggs, because they had cork soles
and would keep my feet dry. When I
found them possessed of this internal
squeak 1 was willing to try anything
to stop it that offered a chance of sue
cess. One Of my friends told me to
place the shoes over night on a sheet
OF wet blotting paper and in the morn
ing the squeak would be gone. 1 did
so. When put them on the next
morning they were soaking wet, and
had to wear them that way all day.
The result was caught cold, and not
only did it fail to stop the squeaking
Of the shoes, but every time l drew q
long breath for the next week my chest
squealzed nearly as loud as the shoes.
Acting upon the advice of other
friends have variously filed the soles
full of pegs till they look like any
thing but hand-sewed shoes, oiled them,
soaked them, hammered them and
cursed them. The only satisfaction 1
have derived is from the latter-but
the shoes bid fair to squeak on for
ever.
IF I'm late to church go home again
rather than walk down the aisle. If
I'm late to the theater I-ahem!-I
squeak my way shamefacedly to my
seat When walk along the street
the newsboys yell at me, and take q
fiendish delight in my embarrassment.
Finally, when my business keeps me
out late at night, as it often does, 1
actually have to sit down on the front
stoop and take my shoes off before
enter the house rather than wake the
occupants Of the entire fiat.
Il have learned one thing, to my sor-
row. Total humiliation is the sole
and only cure for squeaking Shoes

the hard times of 1893 and 1894

underlying cause, but along with il
