A "LOST GIRL :" STORY,
How Osmond Day Deceived and
Deserted Two Country
Victims.
One Accepted Her Fate Silently, but
the Other Tried to Commit
Suicide.

Lille O'Neal is the name of the latest
victim of the notorious Osmond Day. 1t
was she who tried to commit suicide in a
room at q Turk street Sunday night.
When questioned at the Receiving Hos
pital she was half delirious from the
effects of the chloroform she had drunk
and answered that her name was Bebbie
Griggs, which is the name of Days Santa
Rosa victim. The O'Neal girl is from
Petaluma. This tenderloin character,
Day, prefers the country.
These two girls fell into Days hands
several months ago in the same manner
human lambs fall to the tender mercies of
inhuman wolves. and the story is tale
too often told for many reasons. Accord
ing to the O'Neal girls account Day and
his two youthful victims met in this City
and their journey downward was all the
speedler from his near presence Once
Beboie Griggs became i'll and Lille
O'NeaP s money, earned in shame, went to
buy medicine for her sister in misfortune.
Both girls are exceedingly pretty. They
are the daughters of estimable parents
who will never cease TO mourn their chill
dren's destruction.
Day first cast off the Santa Rosa pirl
and finally the Petaluma victim. One ac-
cepted her fate in silence, but Lille O. Neil.
who is infatuated with her betrayer. at
tempted to commit suicide by drinking
chloroform Sunday night. She was taken
to the Receiving Hospital. calling upon
the name OF the wretch in her delirium.
She knowing that her complete shame
would soon be known pleaded with him
to marry her, but he spurned her and said
he was married already.
This made her desperate, and she took a
room at 21 Turk street to kill herself in.
AT the Receiving Hospital yesterday
morning she stated that she still loved
him and was fully determined to die. She
detailed the dreary tale of her fall and of
meeting her partner In ruin. About noon
she left the hospital with a woman com
panion vowing that she would complete
her work of self destruction.
For the benefit OF the relatives of the
girls, Day can be found almost any hour
in the vicinity of Turk and Taylor streets.

CARNIVAL OUTLAY.
The Money Will Mostly Go Into the
Pockets of the Working
People.

In order that the mechanics and trades
people may derive all the benefit possible
from the 500 600 which the executive COM
mittee of the Carnival of the Golden Gate
intend to expend general invitation is to
be extended to them to submit designs OF
floats and other paraphernalia requisite in
presenting the various features.
These suggestions were fully considered
at the meeting held at the Mills building
yesterday afternoon. The matter was
brought about by communication from
w. ID. Mills, who suggested that as the
entire occasion was projected for the pur-
pose of adding life, elation and pleasure to
the people of the city and 70 those who
witness or participate in the festivities.
and as 1t would also be a costly affair. he
thought that the work should be confined
| entirely to the community in the way of
employing those who should do it.
General Warfield will appoint a COM
mlttee to confer with the various labor
organizations, lay out the plan of the car
nlval In detail to them, give them an idea
OF the class of work that they will be
called upon to do and inform them of
the approximate amount that will be ex-
pended for labor. Mr.. Mills and General
Backus will formulate during the coming
- NoS
giving the outlines Of the reasons for the
carnival. which will connect the occasion
with the best interests of the City, present
and prospective.
The various features embodied in the
programme were discussed at length, with
view to ascertaining how much money
could be expended directly among the
working people by the committee.
Oscar Boldeman, l. L. Rosenthal and
David Rich were appointed as a commit
tee on entertainment to visit the different
places of amusement and arrange with
them for benefits for the carnival fund.
The offer of the Colum bia Theater. made
some time ago. will be at once taken nm.
and to Friedlander & Gottlob of that place
of amusement will be given the honor. il:
view of their being the first to suggest a
benefit, of being the first subscribers to the
fund. They have kindly placed the entire
company, theater and appurtenances at
the disposal of the committee and have
also promised programme of rare merit.

Day Driven From Santa Rosa.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, June 15.-Mr.
Griggs received several kilograms from
San Francisco friends assuring him that
his daughter was alive and well and had
made no suicidal attempt. The young
lady who courted death upon being aban-
doned by the unsavory masher was q
Petaluma girl.
Osmond Day is we'll and unfavorably
known here, where he posed for some
time as an English Lord. His career was
short, however, ne being recognized by
gentleman familiar with his record, and
he was at once warned to leave town on
pain of arrest.
