lately. He furnished himself in evidence
yesterday to refute the Geographic state
ment from Los Angeles to the effect that
he was there hunting up evidence to be
used by the contestants in the will case to
prove that the late miner and capitalist
was of unsound mind. Clark is now a
junior clerk in the office of the late Senator,
who beqeeathed him $1,000, and it is appar-
emily to his interest TO stand with the op-
position.
Clark is a young Englishman, a bright,
active fellow, easy of manner and pleas
ing in his address. He was not given to a
discussion of the late Senator Fairs ru-
mored infatuation for the Los Angeles
fiower-girl when seen by reporter at the
Montgomery street office yesterday, but
he stated that while the Senator knew the
girl he did not think there was any at
tempt al love-making on his side.
''She was as sweet and pretty as the
flowers she sold" said Clark, with a smile.
land most men about the Nadeau found
time to exchange the compliments of the
hour with her. We never stopped more
than a day or two at a time at Los
Angeles on our way back and forth to
Arizona, where the Senator had large in
terests. Therefore the meetings with Miss
Gamble were few and far between.
"She says that the Senator was in love
with her and wanted to marry her. If so,
knew nothing of it, and, more than that,
never saw anything to lead me to believe
that the Senator took more than passing
notice of her. He patronized her flower
booth, paid her literally, as he did every
body, and that was all that l saw pass be-
tween them"
Miss Gamble told the southern CORE
spondent that the late Senator was an
awfully nice old gentleman; that he paid
her 81 each for her boutonnieres: that he
slipped a piece of silver into her hand as
she pinned on the flower; that he lounged
about her counter and grew very confden-
tial; that he whispered in her ear the pa
thetic tales of an old mans domestic lone
illness; that he finally told her of an
aching void in his heart which she alone
could fill, and offered her $4,000 for the
service. She declined and thus spoiled the
romance.
Herbert Clark said that he had not been
to Los Angeles since the death of his late
employer and that he had not seen Miss
Gamble relative to having her testify in
the will contest.

THIEVES ON THE SEAWALL.
WAGON-LOADS OF GRAIN STOLEN
AND SOLD AT SACRIFICE
PRICES.
Two OF THE RECEIVERS IN PRISON.
WARRANTS OUT FORTHE
OTHERS.

Grainmen and mill-owners have suffered
considerable loss by the depredations of
thieves, who have been stealing wagon
loads of grain from the seawall.
Yesterday morning A. F. HIM OF the
firm of HIM & Plageman, proprietors of
the Yolo mills, 12O Mission street, swore
out warrants in Judge Joachimsen's court
for the arrest of Amos Cole on three charges
of grand larceny, and Luigi, John and
Phillip Cadarella, provision-dealers, 102
Second street, on three charges of receiving
stolen goods. The three brothers are in
partnership.
Cole works around the seawall, and has
been taking advantage of his position to
cart away loads OF grain and sell it for
whatever he could get. The particular
charges against him arose out of recent
stealings. Last Thursday he hired an ex-
press wagon and stole two loads of oats,
seventy-tive sacks altogether, worth $50
He sold them to the Cadarella brothers,
who in turn disposed of them at consider
able profit to different expressmen.
On Friday last Cole stole twenty-five
sacks of wheat, worth $35, and sold them
to the Cadarella Bros. for $11. The
Cadarellas sold the wheat the same day to
the Del Monte mills on Brannan street,
near Second for $27 80. The wheat and
oats belonged to HIM & Plageman.
Detectives Dillon, Crockett and Smith
arrested John and Phillip Cadarella yes
terday afternoon and booked them at the
City Prison. They have not yet found
Luigi or Cole, but expect to have them be-
hind the bars very soon.
The detectives say that the Cadarellas
also bought twelve sacks of corn stolen by
Cole from the seawall, which they sold to
the Del Monte mills. They are looking
for the owner OF the corn. They have re-
covered fifteen sacks of the oats stolen
from an expressman and expect to be able
to recover several more sacks.

Yesterday was the first day of ]. J.

idea of the multitude of ladies that turned
out in response to the firms mammoth
half-page announcement in Sunday CALL.
When the writer visited the store in the
afternoon the crowd was something enor-

way through the broad aisles, any one of
which is equal in area to an ordinary retail
store; but all thought of personal discom-
fort seemed lost sight of by the ladies in
their admiration of the hmitless wealth of
new and beautiful styles that greeted the
eye on every side.
And the ladies did not confine themselves
to admiration alone, but showed by their
liberal purchases that the values as we'll as
the styles were right and that they fully
appreciated the advantages of an early

Los ANGELES, March 4.-The story re-

Gamble was mentioned, was, according to
the young lady herself, somewhat over
drawn Miss Gamble is a very handsome
young woman still in her teens, and she
sells flowers at the Nadeau Hotel. at which
Mr.. Fair stopped when he visited this city.
Miss Gamble said to-day: "Mr. Fair was
old enough to be my grandfather. He was
like other guests in the house and used to
talk to me frequently as he bought flowers,
but never said anything about marriage.
The idea of old Mr.. Fair wanting to marry
me would be funny if it was not so serious.
Wouldn't it?" And the young miss
laughed at the idea.

The big ferryboat Solano was towed down
from Port Costa yesterday by the tug Res
cue and locked at Oakland long wharf for
repairs. The vessel has been plying be-
tween Port Costa and Benicia for MANY
years, carrying trains to and fro. and is
perhaps one of the best-known craft of her
kind in the world.
Last week one set of her engines broke
down completely, and she has been brought
here to be thoroughly renovated, over

will take is not known. While the vessel

from the Suisun and Sacramento valleys
will come down by way of Vallejo, there
being no vessel on the bay fitted to take
