the front entrance to the house is guarded

although she il entirely conscious, she
neither cries nor means, and is bearing

more venturesome than the rest, decided
to climb to the top of high peak, not

form the islands, ana just opposite Sugar

lost her footing, and with a scream of
despair felt herself going she knew no t
where nor when nor how She would stop.
For seventy-tive feet she slid back and
down until striking boulder on the
side hill, she was thrown out in to the air
where she turned two summersaults and
then dropped straight down for over a
hundred feet and between two boulders
into the water.
BY fortunate chance the tide was high
and had brought quantities of kelp in

covering the small rocks and beach that

is out and that is the only thing that

She was conscious when she struck the
water, but can remember nothing from
the time she first lost her footing until
then, and has no idea when nor how her
leg was broken. There were mum ber

whole horrible accident. Those nearest,
with all possible spe I'D rowed over. calling
to her to hold out till they got there.
She went down twice. however, realized
her leg was broken and with hope diving
within her, felt herself going down for
the third time. just as the boat reached
her. and she was tenderly lifted in Her

So His Wife Objected TO Accompanying Him
Home
Late last night a buggy was driven up
to the police station and.after a moments
hesitation the driver took sudden turn,
nearly upsettng the vehicle, ana then
drove rapidly away. In short time the
rig again appeared and the driver in
quired for the police clerk.
The clerk responded to the call and was
informed IN a mixed up conversation,
partly given by the driver and partly by
his wife. VINO, with a small child, occu-
pied the buggy with him, that they we're
on their way to the farm in San Fernan-
do valley, but the wife was disinclined
to trust her lord in driving on account of
his tendency to make curved track in
the road. The gentleman actions were
such as to indicate that his wfe's point
of order was well taken. He expressed a
willingness to stay In town over night if
she so desired. and drove away with the
assurance that he was going to the Hol-
lenbeck hotel. He evidently changed his
mind very quickly. for he had not gone
far before struggle ensued between him
and his unwilling companion, and the
turnout took few more wild turns in the
road. when the reins changed hands and
the team whirled away up Broadway.

THREE PEOPLE DESTITUTE
Mrs. Albright and Two Children Apply
for Assistance
The Husband Has Neglected to Provide and
the Family Went to the Police Station
to Escape Starvation

very sad case of destitution was re-
ported at the police station last night. A
woman, accompanied by two small chill
dren, went to the clerk and asked if some
thing could not be done TO help them, as
they were entirely destitute having Just
been turned out OF their room and had no
money with which to get anything to eat
or place to sleep.
The trio were at once turned over to
Captain Roberts and Humane Officer
Hutchins and to them the woman related
her story. Her name is Mrs. Albright
and her husabnd Is Albert Albright. He
is employed on the Laguna ranch as a
hand. Every Saturday he was paid his
wages, when he came to the family, who
were living at the Alderman house on
East Fifth street. Very frequently he
failed to appear for the reason that he
was drunk. When intoxicated he was
very abusive. and what was worse failed
to provide his wife with the money to
purchase the bare necessities of life. Re.
Gently he has stayed away from the room
altogether, and as a result Mrs. Albright
was compelled to Iun into debt for the
rent and for food. She visited the Asso-
clated Charities and asked for aid. They
offered to give her half of the money nee
ess"ry to take her and the two children
back to her brother in Nashville, Tenn,
as she said that he would give them a
homo. AS the wOamn was unable to get
the first half she has been unable to ac-
cept this.
Several days ago the landlord at the
Ackerman house told her that she " ould
have to leave, as he had rented the room
Tor more than they were paying, and
what was more he would keep her furni-
ture unless the back rent was paid. Mrs.
Albright sold the goods. and it took all
of the proceeds to liauidate the debt.
Finally she saw starvation staring her
self and the little ones in the face so she
made a last appeal to her husband. He
manifested no dissatisfaction as to wheth-
er or not she went to the police station,
and seemed indifferent as to what became
OF them, anyhow.
Nothing could be done for them last
night beyond providing meals and beds.
but this was all that the woman wanted
at that time. She and the two babies
were turned over to Jailer Siewekie. who
opened up his big heart to the widest
notch and at once established the three
as star boarders. Captain Roberts also
taking a hand in looking after their COM
fort.
One of the children is years and 8
months old and the other 8 months. The
case certainly seems worthy Of assistance.

The SUGAR Bounty Cases

WASHINGTON, Aug. M.-Controller OF

and has begun work on his decision,
which will probably be rendered in the
course of week. He will first, however,
have rendered a decision on Senator
Mandersons motion to remand the whole
matter to Secretary Carlisle, on the
ground that the peculiar language OF the
act takes the disbursement of the appro-
priation out of the hands of the regular
accounting officials OF the treasury.
There is a strong belief at the treasury
department that Mr.. Bowler will overrule
Mr.. Manderson's motion and will decide
against the payment Of the bounty.
