90S Broadway, May q.
A little canary bird that sings sweetly
was the innocent cause of originating di-
vorce suit that has been filed in this
county.
The little bird was pet, of course, and
was the property of Max Buckemein, and
according to the wife's complaint it was
more of pet to him than was his wife,
The troubles began when Max Buckle
mein published notice that his wife,
Eliza beth, had left his home, and that he
would henceiorth cease to be responsible
for her debts. Then he gave out the i'm
preston that his wife was gay and too
fond of fine dress to De the better half of
plain, though not penniless butcher.
Buckemein did not tell his friends any,
thing about his canary bird, but in her
complaint Mrs. Buckemein reveals the Sc
cret and tells story that does not har-
monize at all with that told by her hus-
band.
The trouble began with the seizure by a
constable of the canary bird and cage.
Buckemein had a judgment rendered
against him, and when he refused to sat-
isfy it the constable hunted around for
something to attach.
Among other things he took away the
bird and cage, both of which were highly
nrized by BucKemein. When he found
that his pet was gone and that only the
hook on the wall remained to remind him
ofWhat had been, he became uproarious
and accused his wife of having entered
into a conspiracy with his creditors to get
his property. On these occasions he alto
gether forgot the amenities that should
exist between husband and wife, and &C
cording to her story acted in manner
absolutely cruel.
In the early part of April Mrs. Buckle
mein says that life with her husband was
unbearable. He refused to give her the
common necessities of life, and when she
asked for anything she was assaulted and
invited to starve TO death. Her husband
would frequently stand and look at the
hook where his pet canary used to hang
and whistle, and each time he would try
and impress upon his wife how much less
dear she was to him than his canary
On such occasions he would give weight
to his remarks by 6inging handy missiles
a his wlfe, which frequently hit her and
caused grievous bodily pain. The un-
happy woman still bears the marks OF
bruises that were inflicted during the
spells of anger inspired by the empty hook
on the wall.
six weeks ago the domestic unhappi
ness of the Buckemein household reached
q climax. On April the wife was ordered
to leave, and as she did not Immediately
show a desire to obey some very dire
threats were made. She says that feal
caused her to flee as fast as she could, and
that she did not willingly desert her hus
band.
Mrs. Buckemein was not particularly
anxious for divorce so long as nothing
was done by her husband, but when ht
published the notice about her desertior
she authorized her attorney, Robert Ed
gar, to file suit for divorce.

WANT THE CANAL CLEANED
Memorial Day Services in Ala
media Saturday by Grand
Army Posts.
Meeting of the Congregational Club
Funeral of Fletcher G.
Hoyt.

ALAMEDA, CAL, May 2S.-Dr. ]. T.
Mclean, Health Officer of the city, was
commissioned to go to Washington over
three months ago, to obtain funds from
Congress to complete the canal to San Le-
andre Bay, so that the tide might scour
the channel of the sewage contained
therein. He has done nothing further
than to sell his interests in the tollgates TO
the Yosemite Valley, and the nuisance has
incr eased so that the public bodies of Ala
media and Oakland have had to write and
threaten Colonel Suter, Federal engineer,
San Francisco, with all sorts OF punish
ment if the evil is not lessened.
Last night lad named John Swanson
was saved from drowning in the canal by
E. G. Baker, Constable Day and the Rev.
@. II. Loomis. They did not stop to take
their clothes off, and the result is the
clothes were ruined from the plunge in the
filthy waters of the canal-the latest proof
that the matter should be attended to.

THE HAM CASE.
Doctors Who Attest That Two of

of Miss Ham Skilifully.
The following letter is self-explanatory:

The following letter is self-explanatory:
OAKLAND, May 26, 1896.
In THE CALL of the 23d inst. appeared an ar
ticle purporting to give, in brief form, the
facts connected with a lawsuit tried in the
Superior Court OF this county against Mr..
Ham, on note given by him to Doctors Gold
son aud Shannon for treatment of his daughter
at Lakeside Sanatorium in this city, in which
suit Mr.. Ham claimed that his daughter had
been neghgently and unskillfully treated.
THE CALLS summary of the lawsuit is substan-
TALLY correct, with the exception that it is
said "the evidence of the doctors was ac-
cepted as proof that the money was never
earned" This is erroneous, and it does an injus-
tice to Doctors Goldson and shannon. The un-
dersigned, regular physicians of Oakland,
were called as witnesses. and upon being
made acquainted with the symptoms of the
case and the diagnosis and the treatment by
Doctors Goldson and shannon, gave it as their
unanimous opinion that the treatment of Miss
Ham was scientific, skillful and proper.
Yours very respectfully,
