THE WOODWARD TROUBLES
Suit for Divorce Instituted by
the Wife of the Capt.
taIiSt.
Declared Matrimonial
Deserter.

Frank G.. Woodward of Webster street,
the capitalist who was recently arrested on
a charge of insanity, is the defendant in a
divorce suit instituted several days ago.
Extreme cruelty is the charge made in the
complaint, the allegations being based on
the actions of Mr.. Woodward as represented
in the testimony at the insanity hearing two
weeks ago.
Mrs. Woodward asks for alimony, coun-
sci fees and the costs of the suit in addition
to division of the estate, which she claims
to be community property.
This action has been expected since Mr..
Woodward was charged by his wife wit h
being insane, as Mrs. Woodward's friends
then stated that there was legal ground for
divorce and that suit would be commenced
as soon as the other hearing had been dis
posed of. 1t is believed that Mr.. Wood
ward will make a vigorous defense, as he
strongly contested the previous proceed
ings and absolutely denied all the charges
against him.
In Judge Slack's court Mr. Woodward
testified that he had been subject to cpl
leptic troubles since boyhood. He en-
ployed valet to attend him when i'll, and
the straps in which neighbors had seen
him struggling he kept on hand at his
home to prevent him from injuring him.
self. In this testimony he was corrobo-
rated by DR.. Flemming, his physician.
Various neighbors told of disturbances
they heard at night, and they thought the
man crazy but decision in favor of MI.
Woodward was given.
One of Rudyard Kipling's picturesque
heroes of the British army in India was
the defendant in divorce case that Judge
Daingerfeld decided yesterday.
Robert Clark, private, is the soldier re-
ferred to, and Martha B. Clark was the
plaintiff in the suit.
The Clarks were married at Aspatria,
England, in 1886, and for nearly three
years they lived together in not unyary-
ing happiness. At length Robert decided
that he would stay at home no longer and
on September 10, 1889, as the divorce story
goes, he enlisted in an English regiment
and went away to India.

FOUGHT A DEVIL FISH.
Thrilling Battle of Two Italian
Fishermen Off the
Harbor.
Joseph Gigilio Nearly Drawn Over
board-The Monster Finally
Killed.

Joseph and Bartie Gigilio, brothers, who
form the crew of the Italian fishing smack
Salvatore. had an exciting adventure with
a big devil-fsh off this port few days age
which came very near ending the life of
the former.
The trim little smack went out to the
Farallones to fish for cod, and the big red
fish were coming over the side in satisfac-
tory numbers when an unexpected inter
ruption occurred. The younger Gigilio-
Joseph-was hauling up one of the lines
when the peculiar jerks he felt warned
him that something besides cod had taken
the hook.
Sea lions occasionally take fish that
have become hooked and in that way are
themselves ensnared, and the young man
thought that something of this kind hao
occurred. He continued to haul at the
line, at the same time shouting to hi.
brother to get ready the ak and gun, with
which each boat is provided for such emer.
gencies.
When the end of the line was finally
reached, however, the brothers were horri
fed to see the body and tentacles of a
huge devil-fish writhing about in the water,
and Bartie made haste to bring the ak
down on the line where it rested against
the gunwale and set the fish free, but his
act was too late, for the octopus mad thrown
three of its eight tentacles over the boat
and was feeling over the craft with them
and then began terrible struggle.
The boys seized the ak and knife and
prepared to dispatch the fish, but before
this could be done one of the waving arms
struck Joseph's neck and fastened there
He struck at the arm with his ak, but the
tough flesh resisted its edge, and he was
being drawn toward the edge of the boat
when Bate got his keen fishknife under
the devil-fsh's arm and Topped it off about
the middle.
BY this time second tentacle had found
its way about Joseph's waist, and it took
several blows of the ak. directed at point
where the arm rested on the gunwale, to
sever it. AS the fish in its agony reared
itself out of the water Bartie got a
fair blow at it and drove his knife through
the muscular body close to the head, kill.
ing it almost Immediately. The fish was
then hauled into the boat and as both
boys were thoroughly exhausted with their
struggle with the monster the sail was
raised and the Salvatore sCudded away to-
ward the Gate before the heavy trade wind.
Joseph suffered very little i'll effects from
his battle with the devil-fsh, but his
brother was less fortunate and was sc
bruised from being thrashed about in the
boat that he was compelled to keep his
bed for several days.
The devil-fish, which measured Is feet
was hung up in q Merchapt-street fish
stall, where it attracted much attention.
The suckers, or the tentacles. by which it
holds It's prey, were as large as a silver dol
lar at the body, tapering off to the size of q
pea at the end of the arms.

PLANS OF BoNDHoLDERs.
High Legal Talent to Be Employed if Fund
Can Be Raised.


There was an informal meeting of the
executive committee of the irrigation dis
trict bondholders at the Office of Daniel
Meyer. The secretary reported that there
was lack of interest on the part of many
OF the bondholders, and that from the pres
ent outlook the contemplated proceedings
in relation to taking an appeal from Judge
Ross decision in the Fallbrook might have
to be abandoned. They must get more
support, in order to get the necessary
amount Of money to carry out their object.
Should the necessary amount of money
be forthcoming, it is proposed to secure the
services of such able legal talent SIS John
f. Dillon of New York, author of "Muni-
cipal Corporations, a standard legal work !;
A. L. Rhodes of San Francisco, ex-Chief
Justice of the State Supreme Court, and
