ROMANCE OF SAN JOSE,
Frank MaeStoS in Court for
Abducting Pretty Mariana
Rapoza.
Disastrous Blaze Caused by Lamp
Explosion-Henry Lapier Ar
rested for Thievery.

SAN JOSE, CAL, May II. = Justice
Dwyer's court was well filled with Portu-
guese this afternoon, attracted by the pre-
iminary examination of Frank Maestos
on charge of abducting Mariana Rapoza.
The complaint was issued at the instance
of the girls father, Manuel Rapoza, who
accused Maestos of abducting his 17-year-
old daughter, Mariana, with the hope that
her and Joe Silva, a farmland employed
by Maestos, would fall in love with each
other and get married.
A large number of witnesses testified
that Mariana was at .Maestos' place of her
own free will, and an equally large number
was positively sure that she had been ab-
Quoted. AS the evidence was not sufficient
to hold Maestos, Justice Dwyer dismissed
the charge.
After the examination was over Mariana
refused to go home with her parents, and
it looked as though there would be fight
between the different factions. Joe Silva
insisted that the Judge marry he and
Mariana at once, but as the girl was not of
age, and no license had been secured, the
request was not complied with, and
Mariana left the courtroom in tears with
Maestos' family. ,

vainly strove to- intercept them, and it was
not until noon that order was restored by

more conveniently arranged.
The company will celebrate the

supply them with the finest teas,
