TACOMA, WASH, July 7.-Professor
Clarence Chester, spiritualist medium,
no longer denies that ne is W. G. Forsy the.
who abducted his baby from Oakland
two weeks ago. He has the boy, who is
over two years o.d, here in the care of
competent woman and says that the
child is receiving the best of care. With
him also. is his dog Dandy" to which
the child is much attached. Forsythe
says he took the boy away from his
mother on the advice of the prosecuting
attorney of Alameda County. as the
quickest and best way of securing posses
sion of him. He says he will have no
difficulty in showing, If it becomes neces-
sary, that the mother s not q proper
person to have the care OF the child; and
generally and circumstantially, contro-
verts the state ment made by her. He is
now at the Bostwick Hotel and declaims
all intention of avoiding any one who
wishes to inquire into his right to have
control of the boy.
Forsythe denies that he agreed to give
up the boy if his wife would not ask for
alimony in her suit for divorce ana claims
she has no legal ground to obtain a
divorce from him, though he believes
she will allege desertion in suit the
papers for which were drawn when he
came away. He declares that, instead.
he repeatedly urged her to JOIN him in
Los Angeles, but she fused. He claims
that after he returned to San Francisco
her conduct became such that he could
not live with her.
The 'horsewhipping" incident occurred.
he says. when tney were driving 10 San
Francisco Bav, where he was to catch a
steamer for the City. His horse baked
badly and, he says, his wife laughed re-
peatedly at him, exasperating him SO
that he struck her once with the whip.

j. v. Munger Dead.

A brief telegram received yesterday
by VIM. and Ralph Munger announc-
ed the death of their father, j. v.
Munger, at Briar Hill, New York,
where he removed to q few years ago.
The deceased was well and favorably
known here, he being one of the orig
inal early settlers at Miller, where he
located in the fall of 1881. He set
tied on a farm adjoining town on the
south, built several houses in town
during his residence here, and was
prominent in the early history OF
Miller, a charter member of Candy
Post, and the !. o. o. +. lodge. His
age is very close to 60 years. The
wife who accompanied him to Miller
died in 1882 and is buried here.
From this first union there were six
children. four OF whom are still living,
all well known here. They are Flora
Minnie, William and Ralph. There
is also one daughter from this sec
ond marriage. At the time this is
written, tits presumed the remains
will be buried in New York state.
The family have the sympathy of
this community in the loss of their
kind hearted father.

500 HEAD LOST.
A Whirling Blizzard for
80 Hours,
Loss Of stock in Hand County Great
Everything Blocked Storm
Widespread.
A Terrific storm.

This section OF the country was the
sccenc of another blizzard storm this
week which approached the nearest
to the great and memorable storm
Jan. II, 1888, OF anything that has
occurred before or since. The biz
zard began Sunday evening Jan. 3D.
and lasted until Monday night. The
wind vas strong fiOm the northwest,
and the air was filled with snow
which blew into everything. Scarce
ly II building in Miller was sufficient
~ close to keep it out. While this
storm is often compared to its men,
orable predecessor OF lime years. ago,
Yet it differed in several particulars.
In the former there Was a constant
swirl, with apparently no direction
OF the wind; Il sense of %suffocation to
any M out in it; and the air was
constantly SO thick with snow that
a person could only see a few feet;
the weather was intensely cold.
The present storm lacked nearly
all OF these elements which made the
former so terrible, and caused such
great loss of life. During the storm
of this week it was possible at all
times to see fifty to sixty feet, and
often farther, and the damage result
ing was UNNECESSARILY small com
pared to the former. So far no loss
OF life has been reported, although
it would appear very likely that
some stock hsa been lost.
There were no trains over the c. &
n. W. from Saturday night until
Wednesday morning, when snow
plows and men went to work clearing
the track.
About town there was no business
on Monday, and on Tuesday morn
ing everybody had q task to clean
out their buildings, lofts, etc.
Huge drifts were piled about pro-
miscously, wherever there was any
thing to catch the snow.
The shrubbery in J.. ID. Fitzgerald's
and +. j. Miller's lots caught drifts
almost as high as the houses, and
along the west side of Main street
the banks were piled as high as the
transoms over some store doors.
The work of clearing sidewalks and
buildings occupied Tuesday, and
business was not resumed till Tues
day evening.
The county commissioners were to
have met Monday, but could not get
ia, so reorganization of county work
and admission of new officers was
postponed until Wednesday.

Marriage Under Difficulties.

An energetic young Pennsylvania NO.
man succeeded i'll getting married after
passing through a train of unfavorable
circumstances quite out of the ordinary
run of unsmooth courtship. AS the story
is told in a Philadelphia paper, she was
courted three years by an ardent swain
and finally consented to set the wedding
day. Three days before the eyentful date
the lover brought half dozen nice
spring chickens to be cooked for the
wedding feast. He never helped to en-
joy the provender, however, for he had
stolen the fowls and was arrested and
sent to Jail for the offense.
No. started right in where the
chicken thief had left off, and the lady,
being anxious to have husband, soon
had the other fellow getting ready for
the nuptials This new man borrowed q
crisp 500 bill from his promised bride
to purchase his wedding outfit, and as
he was going to Philadelphia for the
clothing sister of the bride intrusted
him with another 500 to purchase an
organ. He never returned. 1t was
learned later that he already had wife
and two children.
No. 3 came along in short order-a
widower with two children. He was an
ardent wooer, and inside Of two months
the wedding day was set. The bride
didn't propose to be left this time, SO
q week before the date of the nuptials,
with the aid of her mother, she placed
the widower under lock and key in the
garrett of their farmhouse and only re-
leased him after the preacher had ar
rived to tie the knot.
