Robinson. The latter, realizing the tre-
mendous odds against him, determined to
get the young lady at all hazards. The
enterprising youth needed money, how
ever, even if the lady would consent, in
order to get that necessary adjunct of all
weddings, marriage license. In despair
he thought he would make a borrow of it.
He tried several places and failed, and was
almost desperate, when happening to
meet an elderly friend, he was assured
that not only should he have the 81, but
more if he wanted.
Thereupon he borrowed the large sum
of 81, and meeting Judge Watson little
later was fortunate enough to secure 81
more of him. Meeting his inamorata a
short time after at dentists office, he SO
influenced her by his eloquence that she
at once forsook all her other admirers and
fed with him to Oakland, where they were
joined in wedlock, despite the objections
of the relatives.
Then how to Keep the matter secret,
until the relatives could be reconciled to
the situation, was the problem before
them. They dared not go home, and they
knew not what to do. Still they were ex-
quisitely happy. The newly made bride,
unable to have cards printed for the few
friends to whom she could confide, con-
tented herself with writing this card. 1t

MET AFTER FORTY YEARS.
A Dying Mans Soul Cheered by
the Presence of an Old
Friend.
Captain Bushnell Meets James B.
Olcott for the First Time Since
Forty.Nine.

The sudden temperance of an old-tlme
face and the reawakening of an old-time
friendship made Captain William E. Bush
nell of the Piedmont, though on bed of
pain, forget the ravages of years and of
i'll health in the Joy of a meeting with
James B. Olcott, once mate of the Henry
Lee, which brought him round the Horn
in the days of 40.
Bushnell was then a mere stripping on
his way to the land of gold in search OF a
fortune. The mate was young man of
fine presence and winsome ways, and he
took quite liking to the manly youth in
quest of new and untried fields. The
journey in those days was long one and
before its close liking grew into affection.
Then the parting came, and the hand OF
destiny led each of the friends in diverging <
paths. The ocean tripwould seem to have
given the boy liking for salt water. He
began life in humble way on the local
passenger vessels and when latterly
stricken down by sickness he had been in
command of several of the bay steamers.
Olcott, on the contrary, tired of the sea.
He engaged i'll other pursuits, and in time
became one of the social, financial and sci
entific pillars of the town of Manchester,
Conn. AT length the desire of seeing Cali
fornla again brought him to the port
which he first entered over forty years
ago. He arrived few days since, and his
first inquiry was for the boy friend OF dIs
gone by. He learned that Bushnell $us
lowering betwixt life and death. Haaha-
ing to the sick mans bedside he greeted
the diving captain most affectionately.
The recognition was instantaneous on

Gained Admittance to Her Room

HELP CAME. JUST IN TIME.
The Police Are Now in Possession oi
Good Description of the
Miscreant.

All efforts of the police to find the
strangler who has, by his murderous
work, terrorized fallen women IN the City,
have been in vain, although he has given
within the past two or three days prac.
tical evidence of the fact that he has not
left the City.
On Monday night Irene Wilson, a fine
looking young woman living in the
clearinghouse 304 Sutter street, was in her
room when some one knocked on her
door. She opened it and was confronted
by a well-dressed man of about 40 years of
age. He was a man of fair complexion
with curled blonde mustache.
She asked him who he was and what he
wanted. Il am sporting man, )" he re-
piled, ''and | am out for little fun" He
walked into the room, and as soon as the
door was closed he grasped her by the
throat with both hands. She screamed and
he released his hold of her throat and
with smile remarked, Don't be alarmed (;
it's only JOSH"
He talked so pleasantly that she became
reassured. In short time he made some
fiattering remarks about her sha apelv neck,
and, as she is a little proud of it, she per-
mitted him to fondle it. Suddenly he
seemed transformed, ana, with MS eyes
blazing, he again grasped her by the throat
with both hands and proceeded to straagle
her. He forced her down on the floor and
she shrieked with fear and pain.
The landlady's son heard her screams
and rushed upstairs to her room. The
strangler apparently heard the footsteps
on the stairs, for Just as the boy reached
the top he rushed out of her room and ran
downstairs and out into the street.
Miss Wilson was so unnerved by the
shock that she was confined to her bed till
yesterday, and last night she reported the
affair at police headquarters. Her throat
still bears the mark of the strangers s
fingers.
She was able to give good description
of the man, and Captain Lees is satisfied
he is the same man who strangled Mamie
McDermott on Morton street and Bertha
Paradis on st. Mary street.
The police will now redouble their ef-
forts to capture him, and as they have at
last good description of him they expect
to have him behind the bars very soon.
About a week ago the same man at
tempted to strangle a young woman on
Ellis street, near Stockton, but her screams
frightened him away.

Great Interest Manifested Here
and in Oakland in a
Match.
NAMES OF THE TWO TEAMS.
The Result Is Expected to Be Close
and Exciting, With Oakland
Slightly Ahead.

AS the time for the rifle match between
ten men of the San Francisco and Oakland
police forces approaches the interest in
the result increases.
The match will take place at Shell
Mound Park on Saturday afternoon, COM
mencing at o'clock. Colonel Sam Beaver
of the Bank of California will act as
referee for the San Francisco team and
Colonel Robert McKillican, ex-Sheriff of
Alameda County, will perform the same
office for the Oakland team.
The personnel of the teams is asfollows:
San Francisco-Smith Carr, O. C.. Phillips,
Sergeant Nash, Pc. Peters. Harry Hook, w.
w. Wilson,, Thomas A. Atchjson, George F.
Mulcahey, J. H. Flynn and Q. B. Merfick; re-
serve men, James Foley and John Fleming.
Oakland-Nick Williams, d. w. Swain, ]. F.
Sill, J. NJ Cockerton, FRANK Schroeder, c. E.
Clarke, w. Kingsbury, L. +. Andrews, J. J.
Mccarthy and II. c. Arrest; reserve men, ]. f.
Stahl and w. F. Peterson.
Captain Whitman feels the utmost con-
fidence in his team, and is satisfied that
the other fellows will have to bear the
cost of the dinner to both teams after the
result is known. Captain Fletcher laughs
in his sleeve, and tells his friends that the
Oakland men will have a picnic.
Outsiders who have watched the two
teams practice believe that Oakland will
have an advantage in the fact that the
The San Francisco call., 1896-03-26

Oakland police force have been practicing
together for a long time on that range,
and a large number are rated as being pro-
ficient with the rifle.
In the San Francisco team there are sew
eral new men who have never shot in q
match before, who may make good prac-
tice scores. but when firing in match
may not do such good work. Some of the
old shots like Smith Carr Sergeant Nash
and Harry Hook, assisted by 0. G. Phil
lips, who is familiar with all-round shoot
ing, will have to do great work, as some of
the new men may get on a nervous fit.
The team has not had sufficient practice at
the Shell Mound range, and in this they
will labor under disadvantage. They
have had lots of practice in an inclosed
range with artificial light. but there is a
great difference in firing in the open air
with the changing natural light.
The contest is expected to be close and
exciting, and if the new men on the San
Francisco team keep their nerves steady
they may astonish the Oakland men who
think they have a sure thing.

SUTRO is A UNION Man,
Unaware That the Preside Band
Belongs to Unorganized
Labor.
Says He Will Employ None but Union
Musicians to Perform at
the Baths.

The efforts of the Musicians Union to
have union labor employed at the Sutro
Baths have apparently borne fruit, for
Mayor Sutro declared himself emphati-
cally yesterday in favor of having none
but union men employed at his establish
ment.
When the Presidio band was installed
at the baths the union arose In arms be-
cause the members of the United States
organization are not members of the
union. 1t was understood that the band
had been engaged for long period, and
the union leaders declared that if such
were the case they would not only boycott
the baths, but would appeal by wire to the
Secretary of the Treasury to prevent the
Federal authorities at the Presidio from
allowing the band to play at the baths.
This talk of my having trouble with
the union is all rot" said the Mayor. "As
matter of fact l did not know that I was
employing non-union men when l en-
gagged the Presidio band through my
manager.
81 believe in organized labor and home
talent, and shall by all means call in
union men when we form a permanent
band.
''When the Cassasa band was engaged
l had no idea of the expense. and made up
my mind when the weeks bill of $3.50 came
in that we must do with cheaper aggrega-
tion in order not to run behind. do not
mean that we wanted cheaper men, but
that we must get along with a smaller
number. Cassasas band was only en-
gagged for a short time, and when its time
was up we called in the Presidio band for
brief engagement. shall ascertain what
the union men want, and will employ a
sufficient number of musicians to do our
work and still keep the expense down SO
that the baths will not be losing PROPOSE
tion."

by the said Solomon to the said Henrietta, and
that said Henrietta subsequently, delivered the
same to said Solomon Heydenfeldt and has
never since had the same; that the maiden
name of the defendant Henrietta was Mama
han; that thereafter the said Henrietta lived
with the said Solomon Heydenfeldt as his wife
and gave birth to three children, the children
of herself and Solomon Heydenfeldt; that
from the time of the marriage OF said solomon
Heydenfeldt and said Henrietta Manahan on
said goth day of January, 1858, down to the
time of his death, the said Solomon Heyden-
feldt and the said Henrietta were and con-
tinued to be husband and wife, and said mar
riage was never in any way dissolved or ter
minated till the death of said Solomon Hey
denfeldt
Crittenden is exonerated by the findings
from any charge of irregular practice, and
all damages are denied the plaintiffs.
There is now suit on trial before Judge
Coffey by which Mrs. Duvall is seeking to
recover what she considers her share OF the
estate. The counterclaim is made that
she was never Heydenfeldt's wife and that
she was his half-sister. The decision of
Judge Trout settles these points.

is HEYDENFELDT'S WIDOW
Mrs. Henrietta Duvall'S Position
Defined by Judge
Trout.
The Decision Has an important Bear.
ing on the Case Now Be-
fore Judge Cofey.

A suit for $4,000 damages was pending
before Judge Trout in which W. B. Hell
lings and Zeila o. Hellings sought to re-
cover from James L. Crittenden and Mrs
Henrietta DuvaIl for fraud.
Mrs. Hellings is one of the heirs of the
Heydenfeldt estate, and the claim was
made that Crittenden and his client had
fraudulently introduced themselves into
the case, she as Heydenfeldt's widow and
he as her attorney. The complaint stated
that Mrs. Duvall was old and weak minded.
and that Crittenden had persuaded her
that she had at one time been Solomon
Heydenfeldt's widow, in order to compli-
cate the estate and get some of its gold.
Judge Troutt's decision in the case has
been handed down, and it has material
bearing on the case now in progress before
Judge Coffey. In his findings Judge Trout
says that:
The defendant, Henrietta Heydenfeldt, sued
as Henrietta Duyal1, is not and never was a
half-sister OF Solomon Heydenfeldt, deceased,
but that she is the stepsister of Solomon Hey
denfeldt, and ever since the Goth day of Janu-
-ery, 1853, has been the wife of said Solomon
.Heydenfeldt.
That said defendant Henrietta was married
to said Solomon Heydenfeldt January 20,
1888; that said marriage was solemnized at
Sacramento, in the State of California, by
Hugh G. Murray, the Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court of the State OF California in the
presence OF two other witnesses; that immedi-
stely upon the conclusion of the marriage
ceremony the said Hugh c. Murray, as such
Chief Justice, prepared and signed and the
said witnesses attested and witnessed the mar
rage certificate, setting forth and certifying
that Henrietta Manahan and Solomon Hey
denfeldt were married by Hugh G. Murray
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the State
OF California, on said last-ment toned day.
at the city OF Sacramento, in the said State
that said marriage certificate was then and
