Much-Married Mrs. Almond
Causes Trouble for an
Ex-HuSband.
Accusations Against the Woman
Who Figured in Four Separ-
ate Households.

SEATTLE, WASH, June 25-John ALL
mond, a Tacoma mining man, we'll known
on the Pacific Slope, seems to have Just
cause of grievance against a woman whom
he married if his story be true.
About year ago Almond, who is rich
and As, met pretty widow named Scott in
Tacoma, and learning from her own lips
that her husband was dead proposed, was
accepted and the couple were duly mar
ried. Later Almond found he was the
woman's fourth husband, and that the
other three were living-one in Scotland,
one in British Columbia while the where
abouts of the third was unknown. All
mond applied for. and got divorce and
then went to Montana.
Last April he received dispatch from
his much-married ex-wife stating that a
son had been born to him. He returned
to Tacoma to embrace the son and see that
he was properly cared for. Since then,
however, Almond says he has come into
possession of evidence to show that the
woman has been endeavoring to involve
his estate. He also denies the heirship of
the infant and will ask the court for an
order disinheriting the child alleged to
be his.

THE FIGHT IN ARIZONA.
attack on Governor Hughes Said to b,
Insfigdted at WASHINGTON.


TUCSON, AR1z.. June pa gentleman
prominent in Washington political circles,
who arrived here to-day en- route to San
Francisco, states authoritatively that the
fight on Governor Hughes was incubated
and kept alive by an attache of the In
terror Department with view of making
place for prominent Washington politi-
clan who has an eye on the senatorship in
the event of Arizona being admitted to
statehood. To this end it was to be made
to appear that factional fight was being
waged to such an extent as to become
necessary to send a Governor from an out
side Territory. He further states posi-
lively that Inspector Olive came to Ari-
IONA expressly to make the case against
Hughes and to prepare his opponents to
accept an appointee from outside.
1t is said Hughes has absolutely refuted
every charge against him and the Presi-
dent will not remove him to further the
political schemes of others.

District-End of Sensational
Fresno Suit.

REDDING, CAL, June 25.-Mart Bow
ers, one of the men who discovered Brady
at Clear Creek, and who had the close gun
fight with the bandit, arrived here from
Cottonwood at IL o'clock tonight with the
information that Brady's whereabouts
has been again discovered. Last night at
O'Clock he appeared at the farmhouse of
a man named McMurray, situated near
Balls Ferry, east and a little north of Cot
tonwood. He was given his supper, and a
messenger was at once sent to notify an
officer at Cottonwood.
Constable Martin, Bowers and small
posse Immediately started for McMurrays
and succeeded in finding his tracks, which
were readily recognized from the fact that
the bandit wears a very small boot.
The officers followed the tracks for
two miles into the brush. 1t is
evident he had company, as the tracks
showed that another and heavier man was
with him. The tracks were followed to a
hillside, where the brush was thick. Cart
or buggy tracks were also followed, going
into the thicket and on the hill, but after
surrounding the hill the tracks of neither
man nor buggy could be found coming
out.
Posses are now being formed to 60 at
once to Balls Ferry and some have started
out.
Yesterday the barn belonging to Con-
stable Martin, who was one of the dis
coverers of Brady, was destroyed by fire.
The barn was located at Cottonwood. 1t
believed that some of Brady's friends
burned the barn. Members of Martin s
family are in a state of constant fear. and
are afraid some of the bandits friends will
do them or Martin some harm when they
least expect IT.
