cash" in the store, and being interest
ed i'll him began to ask him questions:
"Wouldn't you like to live with me

The barometrical readings at 5 a. M

Yesterday was the dryest day for

luminary it might be well to notice it.
A light frost was reported yesterday
morning from Eureka, Humboldt

MRS. LEE CHARGES FRAUD,
And Causes the Arrest Of EX-MayOr
E. ]. Gregory.
She Says He Knew His Firm Was
Insolvent When He Took
Her Money.

Eugene j. Gregory. senior member OF
the Gregory Brothers Company, which
firm went through insolvency abou.
year ago, was yesterday arrested on
complaint of Mrs Bruce b. Lee on three
separate counts of obtaining money by
false pretenses. He gave bail in Justice
Henrys court in 81 900 in each case.
When the company failed and its cred
itors filed their claims in court, it was
found that Mrs. Lee had one Of $4,000
for money lent the firm. Some compli-
cations arose in the adjudication of the
cCmpany's affairs, and they have not
yet been settled.
Mr.. Gregory recently returned to the
city after an absence of more than a
year, and it was thought that possibly
some arrangement had been made for
settling with the creditors of his firm.
he states that he had offered to make
monthly payments to Mrs. Lee until such
time as ne might be able to settle with
her in full, but that she would not ac-
cept the offer.
The ground on which Mrs. Lee bases
her charges of fraud is that Mr.. Greg
cry claimed when she lent him the
money that his firm was solvent and re-
sponsible, but that on the contrary it
was insolvent, and that he knew that
fact when he borrowed the money.
In January, 1898, Mrs. Lee lent the
firm $4,000; in May, 1894 she advanced
$4,000 more, and in August, 1894, an
other 81 900.
Mrs. Lee was about the Courthouse
considerably yesterday, and persons
who knew of the pending litigation be-
tween her and the Gregorys, over her
$4,000 claim, were beginning to wonder
what new turn the affair had taken,
When Mr.. Gregory appeared in company
with Deputy Sheriff Hunters, who had
in the meantime served the warrants
on him.
To a Record Union" reporter Mr..
Gregory said he was rather glad the
issue had come, as it would officially
determine the character of the trans
action between his firm and Mrs. Lee,
which he claimed was purely a business
affair.
