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
secret marriage ceremony which was per-
formed last night by local Justice of the
Peace, the contracting parties being Mrs.
adelaide ]. Shelton of Washington, ID. O.,
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 a romance of at least ten
years standing, and also an eiopement
from the National capital, which, when 1t
becomes known, will certainly cause con-
sternation in society circles there.
Mrs. Shelton and Mr.. Bum came to this
city from Kelso. Wash, secluded village
on the other side of the Columbia River.
They have been several weeks in KeIso
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 wife when she started from
Washington to join her lover at Chicago.
She is now a 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 a
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
and an ex-member of the bench. Juage
Eppinger, who was friend OF Bum, was
pledged to secrecy.
1t appears that Mrs. SHELTON had de-
cided some time ago TO leave her husband,
for whom she had never had any affection.
The Skeletons are said TO be well up in
social circles, and both Mrs. Shelton and
Bum possess evidence of wealth. Before
her marriage Mrs. Skelton was promised
to young Bum, who went to the Orient
and was not heard from for years. Upon
his temperance in Washington last win
ter, where his old love was living, the long
separated compile met.
SHELTON, it is understood, was formerly
attached to the foreign legation, ana his
vile was quite belle in social circles at
Washington. Affairs reached such point
cided upon, and their course was west
ward. They could not have selected a
more out OF the way corner of the country
than Kelso.
The shock was too great for SHELTON to
survive, and when his wife failed to an
swer his entreaties to come back to him
he suddenly became i'll and died.
The appearance of the strangers in the
quiet village of Keso stirred up quite
breeze, and as the natives were so curious
to know what they had come there to live
for, they were told Mrs. Bum was going
to try the country air. The couple are
greatly admired by the people of Kelso,
and their strange past is unknown to their
neighbors.

'REDDING PIONEER DEAD,
Abraham Cunningham, a Notable
Character of the West,
Is No More.
His Heroic Adventures as an Indian.
Fighter Would Form an Inter-
esting Volume.

REDDING, CAL. June 1S.-One OF
Northern CaIifornia's oldest pioneers and
Indian-fghters has just passed to that
bourne from which no traveller returns
Abraham Cunnin cham, who in early days
gained considerable notcriety as an Indian
fighter, died at his home near Shlngte-
town. Cunningham crossed the plans IN
1S49, and was one of the first party OF Whlte
men to settle on the west fork OF Cotton
wood Creek, this county. He was the ols-
coverer of Watson Gulch and Arbuckie
mining camps, and in his labors then had
many exciting encounters with Indians.
He saved Ben Wright's life once by his
bravery, and while savage redman was
in the act of sending an arrow through
Wright's heart Cunningham bravely ran
TO his comrades rescue and sent bullet
through the heart of the Indian. He was
a veritable Daniel Boonein the woods, ana
many mining camp was saved from de-
struction and the occupants saved from
massacre by Cunningham's steady aim
and bravery. The history of his exploits
in Northern California would form an in
terestIng volume, but, like the majority OF
old-time miners, he did not seek notoriety
and his adventures have never been pub
lished.

At SANTA CRUZ,

well comprehended by the performers, and
the phrasing and shading were remark
ably good, considering that the music was
played out of doors. The scheme of pic
turing on screen scenes from the coun-
try where William Tell made his home
proved a great success. Each change of
picture, with the change in the music,
brought forth rounds OF applause.
Gounod's Queen of Sheba" made hit
in both musical and pictorial way.
The pictures consisted OF eight repro
ductions of paintings from the Paris Salon.
The Medley of familiar hymns with
a picture for each, kept the audience in an
uproar. sOld Hundred" and "Rock of
Ages" were more than could be listened to
in silence.
Donyan's illustrated piece, entitled ga
Day at the Races" was received doubt
fully. To be sure there are many good
things in the music and also in the pic
lures, but they don't harmonize. The
picture of "False Start" was really good,
but the musical accompaniment is built
somewhat on the plan of Chinese funeral
march.
"Remembrances of the Midway" by the
same author, was a little better and the
pictures gems IN their way.
'sThe Flower Festival March, by Romeo
vieri, is a pretty little thing, and there
were many good points about it, the har-
mony being particularly pleasing. 1t was
a fitting ending to the programme and
sent the large audience away well pleased,
some to their homes, but many to the ball.
There was never prettier interior dec
Grafton in California than that OF the hall
in which Queen Josephine gave the ball to
her loyal subjects of Santa Cruz tonight.
The building itself IS nothing more than a
cheap wooden box with peaked roof, but
ingenuity and taste turned it into bower
of beauty.
The decorating materials are of the
simplest kind netting, bunting and
flowers being used. The netting is fastened
TO the peak of the roof and then draped

Intertwined with this are bands of yellow

bright colored roses are fastened. The

is covered with dark evergreen, which

time only to be measured by the twinkling
of an eve. A heavy bundle of CALLS was
thrown off here, but was caught in the
vacuum behind the car and carried along
like 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 minute! Surely that was the
limit for OLD 1413. No, the next So seconds;
now 81, 56, 81, until the last twelve miles
to Santa Clara were covered in 94 min
utes
More papers were given to waiting car
riers and San Jose was reached in 81 min
utes. Twenty-Five carriers eagerly seized
CALLS and before o'clock they were dis
tributed to homes all over the Garden
City.
The next twenty miles were covered IN
as many minutes, but it was too much 1or
old 1413 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. A 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
Pajaro 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 a 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 were on hand waiting
for papers.

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- that de-
lighted the spectators of the impromptu
mill, and left both principals covered with
gore and glory.
The aRgressor in the physical hostilities
was the Hon. r. A. Thompson, editor
of the Democrat, and ex-Congressma
Thomas J. Geary was the gentleman
forced to back up some very burning per-
sonalities by fstic argument.
The 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 a very pleasant frame of mind, and
was engaged in telling party OF congeniaI
spirits show the play came, when Editor
Thompson dropped in.
Mr.. Thorn psoH, 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 a 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 pieasantries
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 a large glass door. There was a
quick rally and the editorial thumb be-
came wedged between the attorneys
event caused change in the original plan
of attack and a retreat 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 com batants. 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 a victory.

SANTA BARBARA, Call, June 1S.-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 a 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.

PETALUMA, CAL, June 1s.-A capture
was made here last night by Constable
George NJ. Bush of a man giving his name
as Harry Edwards, though it has been
learned beyond doubt that his real name
is zimmerman. The officers say that he is
the Eighwayman who nearly beat Richard
Johnson to death in Santa Rosa Monday
night, besides robbing him of considerable
money, and 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
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 confedefates and the police are
keeping them under surveillance.
