Three Weeks Ago the Bride
Deserted Her Former
Husband,
WHO DIED OF A BROKEN HEART
The Bunns Will Spend Their Honey.
moon in the Quiet Little Town
of Kelso.

PORTLAND, Or, June ia strange
story has leaked out in connection with a
secret marriage ceremony which was per-
formed last night by local Justice OF the
Peace, the contracting parties being Mrs.
adelaide ]. Shelton of Washington, D. c..
and George Bum. The marriage license
was issued on Monday after office hours,
and extra precautions were taken to cover
up the matter. The marriage is the con-
summation of romance of at least ten
years standing, and also an elopement
from the National capital, which, when it
becomes known, will certainly cause con-
sternation in society circles there.
Mrs. Shelton and Mr.. Bum came to this
city from Kelso. WASH, a secluded village
on the other side OF the Columbia River.
They have been several weeks in Kelso
living as man and wife, and have returned
there, it is presumed, to live quietly until
the affair blows off
The elopement took place from WASH
ington some three weeks ago. Mrs. Skel-
on was a wife when she started from
Washington to join her lover at Chicago.
She is now widow, and the bonds which
held her to another are severed by death
instead of divorce court. Upon receiv-
ing news of the death of her husband q
few days ago the woman at once came
here with Bum and they were secretly
married. The only witness of the cere-
mony was Colonel William II. Eppinger,
one of the foremost lawyers of the city

time only to be measured by the twlnkllng
of an eve. A heavy bundle of CALLS was
thrown off here, but was caught in the
vacuum behind the car and carried along
ike feather.
The first stop was made at San Mateo,
which was reached in twenty-five minutes,
and the crowd of waiting carriers grabbed
for their papers. On again sped the spe-
cial over the fine stretch of track to San
Jose. Faster and faster through the break
ing dawn that made the mileposts visible !!
One mile minutel Surely that was the
limit for old 1413. No, the next 58 seconds;
now 81, 56, 81, until the last twelve miles
to Santa Clara were covered in 91S min
utes!
More papers we're given to waiting car
riers and San Jose was reached in 81 min
utes. Twenty-Five carriers eagerly seized
CALLS and before 5 o'clock they were dis
tributed to homes all over the Garden
City.
The next twenty miles were covered in
as many minutes, but il was too much Tor
old 14l3. The awful speed had caused one
of the crank-journals to become heated so
that the babbit metal was melted and
scattered in drops over the side OF the
boiler. fifteen-minute stop was neces-
sary for cooling and repairing, and then
on to Gilroy. The old journal was weak
ened, though, and another long stop was
necessary. On the branch road from
Paiaro over 10 Santa Cruz the old loco
motive seemed to pick up and tore the car
around the curves at such speed as to
cause it to swing wildly from side to side.
The last mile before Capitola was covered
in SO seconds, and six minutes later the
train came to stop at the Santa Cruz sta
ton at exactly 6:2S All of the carriers
had been informed OF the arrival of THE
Calls special and we're on hand waiting

SANTA ROSA DIVERSION,
Ex-Congressman Geary Has a
Lively Set.to With Editor
Thompson.
Considerable Chewing, Scratching and
Gouging Before the Combatants
Are Separated.

SANTA ROSA, CAL. June is. - Two
Democratic politicians met this afternoon
in an Heterogeneous resort, and, after a
fierce battle OF words, INDUCED in about
ten minutes of rough-and- tumble that de-
lighted the spectators of the impromptu
mill, and left both principals covered with
gore and glory.
The aggressor in the physical hostilities
was the Hon. r. A. Thompson, editor
of the Democrat, and ex-CongresS Sman
Thomas J. Geary was the gentleman
forced to back up some very burning per-
sonalities by fstic argument.
The ex-Congressman, after being de-
feated for delegate at large, seems to have
lost all interest in the Sacramento conven-
ton, and in company with w. Ii. Grissim
returned this morning to this city. The
author Of the Chinese exclusion bill was
not in very pleasant frame of mind, and
was engaged in telling party OF congeniaI
spirits chow the play came, when Editor
Thompson dropped in.
Mr.. Thompson by the way, had just re-
turned from visit to the bay, where, it Is
reported, he kept the wires hot addressing
a gentleman in Sacramento named Nc
Nab, and this action had not helped Mr..
Geary in his aspirations for seat in the
Chicago Convention.
The conversation at once became lurid,
and the inside political history of Sonoma
County for the past twenty years was resur-
rected and used with telling effect. This
being exhausted, personal pleasantries
were INDUCED in. The editor, who is on
the shady side of so and of very peace
able disposition, was no match for the ex-
Congressman in vituperation and made
three or four attempts to leave the room,
being recalled each time by some unusu-
ally severe verbal castigation.
At last forbearance ceased to be virtue,
and with yell of rage he seized his burly
tormentor by the throat and attem pied to
force the surprised and dismayed Geary
through large glass door. There was
quick rally and the editorial thumb be-
came wedged between the attorneys
strong white teeth. This unexpected
event caused change in the original plan
of attack and a retTeat was in order.
After the next rush kinetoscope would
have been required to catch the move
ments of the fighters. There was deal of
pulling and hauling. lots of scratching and
gouging, and the attorneys blood covered
both combatants. 1t soon became evident
that high living in Washington was not
the proper training for physical contest,
and that the editor despite his age, would
prove the better man, more especially
since Geary had lost his glasses and was
lighting wild. The lawyer friends seemed
to take this view of the case and the pant
ing gladiators were separated, each claim
ing victory.

Pimples and other eruptions which disfig-
ure the face and cause suffering and an
noyance are the manifest consequences of
impure blood. They may be removed by
purifying the blood with Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, which has accomplished wonderful
cures of bols, scrofula. salt rheum, rheu-
matism, neuralgia, dyspepsia and other
diseases caused or promoted by impure
blood.
when our little baby was three weeks
old he had eruptions on his face and head.
They grew worse and we became alarmed
and took him to the doctor, but he did him
no good. Then we began giving him

PETALUMA, CAL, June ia capture
was made here last night by Constable
George NJ. Bush of man giving mis- name
as Harry Edwards, though it has been
learned beyond doubt that his real name
is zimmerman. The officers say that he is
the kighwayman who nearly beat Richard
Johnson to death in Santa Rosa Monday
night, besides robbing him of considera BILE
money, ana the evidence against him is
strong. Constable Peerman drove down
from Santa Rosa and returned with the
prisoner. For several days zimmerman
had been begging and doing odd jobs
about town, but dropped out of sight for a
few days and then returned after the as
sault in Santa Rosa with a pocketful of
money. Two meE here are supposed to
be his confederates and the police are
keeping them under surveillance.

SANTA BAkBARA PETITIONER.
WiIling to Take Charge of Judge Httse's
Person and Estate.


Person and Estate.
SANTA BARBARA, CAL, June 18.-I.
F. Fisher OF this place has petitioned to be
appointed guardian of the person and
estate of Charles E. Huse, now confined in
the San Bernardino Insane Asylum. 1t
will be remembered that Judge Otis, in
pronouncing upon Attorney Gallardo's
appeal for his old friends release. stated
that he would be only too glad to grant
the application if Mr.. Huse only had some
competent and responsible friend to step
forward as suitable and responsible
guardian, as while he was satisfied that
the patients mind was remarkably clear,
and that he was capable and able in
almost all respects, he yet had manifested
certain peculiarities which demonstrated
the need of a friendly oversight. Taken
in connection with this statement, Mr..
Fishers application must be regarded as
significant.

H. NJ. Wood, deputy collector of customs for the Nogales district, died suddenly at Bueuos Ayres February 13. He was sitting conversing with several gentlemen and suddenly fell and expired immediately. Harry Wood was we'll known and prominent in Arizona politics in early days. He was member of the legislature in the Session of 1Ss0-Sl, and WAS under sheriff of Cochise county immediately after its segregation from Pima county, under John Behan, sheriff. He was during the same period managing editor of the Tombstone Nugget, which was burned out in the memorable fire in the spring of 1882 and suspended publication.

There is touch of the ludicrous as we'll as the pathetic in the announce ment, made by Our Mineral Wealth,
 that the agent of the Wsllapais has been authorized to issue Sl50 worth of flour to 624 famishing Indians,
 which is about 24 cents worth to each Indian, all the rations he has been able to obtain for the Wallapais. Yet at the same time the stoughten bottles at Washington order that every one of the 624 Indians be vaccinated as a precaution against small pox prevalent at Congress, several hundred miles distant from the Wallapai reservation.
 Great heads, those department officials.

The fight was for S3.5 and an admission fee of Sl was charged There was no gore spilled Gray laid down in the second round and was counted out. Neither of the partici pants had heard of the Catron law Gray had left town, but Burks was arrested and his bond fixed at Sl00, which was given. The majesty of the law was not greatly offen ded, but Burks ought to be cinched for being party to such palpable fake.

COPPER.

The Engineering and Mining Jour- nal says the improvement in the copper market, recently reported. has been fully maintained.
 That transactions have not been very numerous is accounted for by the fact that the producing companies are all more or less we'll sold ahead and there- fore unwilling to enter into further contracts, except at considerably higher prices, which, however, manufacturers are uot yet willing to pay and will not be until they receive orders on a larger scale than has heretofore been the case. There is, however. decided improvement in the manufacturing line and indications all point toward a further development in that direction.
 Orders from abroad show material falling off, which is not surprising, inasmuch as large quantities of copper were bought prior to the advance. The probability is that before long further supplies will have to be covered in our market, and this, coupled with an improvement in the demand from home manufacturers, is likely to estab- fish still higher values than are ruling at the present time.
 Some business took place in Lake copper at 10l, but little more appears to be available at that price, holders now asking l0l.

The prisoner produced check for some S3i00, signed by Goldman X Co.,, being for cattle jus, sold by him, whereupon the judge re, leased him without fine.

Normal School Contractor Absconded
 The Tempe correspondent of the Phoenix Herald says: Larry Napier, normal school contractor, has fled. He has left a few sore spots behind him which will probably heal up little in time, us is usual in the case of mis- guided contractors. Tho bondsmen, as also is usual in such cases when they sign the contract, are the most frost bitten. Last Monday night he took the train for Maricopa and has recently been heard from in Texas. His leaving is ascribed to the fact that he had considerable old indebtedness hanging over him which would eat up any profits that might accrue from the completion of the school contract. and rather than give his creditors an opportunity to attach his surplus he gathered together such resources as were available and bade adieu It is estimated that by issuing checks to workmen for double the amount due them and, after having them cashed, by keeping the difference he managed to accumulate in the neighborhood of 5000 with which to buy meal tickets and Florida water for the rosy, redolent future. The amount that will be lost by confiding business men is not known just at present whether it be great or small, but his bondsmen will enJoy the glory of working out of an unpleasant and unprotitable situation, as did the packers for Contractor Matteson Architect Heinlein was over today, and at the request of the bondsmen took immediate charge of the work, which will be finished as soor as possible.
