Mrs. McCracken, it appeared, was con-
fined at home by sprained ankle and
Mrs. Murray was in San Francisco, to
remain there for an indefinite time, and
so full stop was brought to the pro-
ceedings. Judge Clark finally continued
the matter until Friday and intimated
that if Miss Wills desired to resign he
would appoint Elsie's mother her guar
dian.
If there did not exist sad side to this
| case, both as regadrs the girl Elsie and
also her mother. the whole affair would
be funny. On May 18th the citation is
sued, and, judging from the tone of Miss
Murray's letter, it would seem as if an
understanding existed at least to the ex-
tent of adopting some means by which
the desire of E,lsie's mother might be
thwarted 1t is almost inconceivable
|
erage understanding would assume the
responsibility Miss Murray did with
such perfect equanimity unless she felt
sure of her ground.
With Elsie out of the way there was
no necessity for Miss Wills or anybody
else to nominate any one as guardian
upon Miss Wills resignation being ac-
cepted by the court. And yet the climax
was capped when the court intimated
that in the event of Miss Wills resignins
he would appoint Mrs. Shipton as guar
dian in her stead For long and weary
months the mother has besought as &
privilege that right which is inherent in
every mother-the right to see and con.
verse unimpeded with her child. The
only exceptions are those which prove
this rule. When mother is utterly de.
graded and unworthy the law may in
terpose, but in this category Mrs. Ship
ton cannot be placed by anything thai
has ever developed in court, and the
mere fact of the court intimating ar
intention to appoint her guardian-ever
though her authority may not be opera.
tive-is proof of the fact.
Meantime there is some specula tior
regarding Judge Clark's action on Fri
day. Will he declare the bond of Mis-:
Wills forfeited? The stipulation of the
bond reads: IF the said M. France.
Wills shall faithfully execute the du
ties of her trust, according to law, ther
this obligation shall be void and of nj
effect else to remain in full force ant

covered that Winnie was secretly corre-
spending with Taylor and the first thing
she did was to take her recalcitrant
daughter within the sacred precincts OF
the bedchamber and give her a good
whaling. That is, it was good probably
for the mother, but could scarcely be 30
described in its application to Winnie.
While flogging the girl, however, the
small cord or rope slipped somehow and
hit the girl in the eye, and that seemed
to raise the devil of opposition in Win
MES mind. While her mother was away
trying to track some of the tender epis-
ties sent to Taylor, the girl packed a
few of her belongings and skipped out.
The hue and cry has been raised, but SO
far the earth has opened and hidden the
prosecuting witness against Taylor.

The liver is the largest secreting organ
in the human body, and the bile which ii
secretes is more liable to vitiation and
misdirection from its proper channels than
any other of the animal fluids. Luckily
for the bilious, however, there is an unfail-
ing source of relief from liver complaint,
namely, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a
medicine which for about half of a century
has been achieving thorough cures of the
above mentioned ailments, fever and ague
dyspepsia, bowel complaints, rheumatic
and kidney affection and disorders involv-
ing loss of nervous vigor. 1t is, moreover
a preventive of malarial disease, and
affords protection to thousands of persons
residing in districts of country where that
dire scourge is prevalent. AS a remedy
adapted to the medicinal requirements of
families, it is supremacy desirable, and as
a means of fortifying debilitated system
it is thoroughly to be depended upon.

IN BAD COMPANY
T. Sanchez Found Guilty Of Assault
to Kill

Thomas Sanchez was brought to trial
in department one yesterday on the
charge of an assault with intent to kill. +"
During Fiesta week the defendant
wandered down among the cyprians on
Bauer's alley. He an his companion
entered one of the cribs, but had some
words with the woman, and came out
again. They were very mad at some
thing, and in passing the next window
Nellie Stone, who was peering out, told
them to go on or she would call the
police. That maddened Sanchez still
further, and he pulled his pistol anG
fired through the window, the bullet mar
rowly missing the woman who had
aroused his ire.
The jury were out little over an hour
and returned a verdict of guilty as
charged.

dent c. w. Smith of the Pasadena and
Pacific electric railway has agreed to
extend that line from its present termi-

the peak very accessible. II is pro-
posed to build mountain road up the
trail eventually, but this project has not
taken definite form asyet.

soon after followed. Doctors were sum-

toms those of poisoning.
The contents OF the stomach of one
Of the sufferers were given to chemist
for analysis. His conclusion was that
arsenic had been swallowed. After
ward the mush eaten by the family was
given over to analysis and it is declared
that this has been found to contain arse
mic. Mrs. Schubert, when visited by a
Bee reporter this afternoon said that
she was unwilling to give out informa-
tion until the completion of the analysis
of the cereal preparation partaken Of
yesterday morning. She said, however
that there was no possibility whatever
that the poison had been put in the
mush purposely. The chemist had told
the doctors, she said, that the poison
was present in quantities to do HARM
Mrs. Schubert and her daughters have
recovered almost entirely from the cf-
fects of the poison and they regard their
escape as miraculously fortunate.
The original package-a pasteboard
box-which contained the meal from
which the Schubert family ate, now is in
possession of a chemist. A chemist said
this afternoon that the meal remaining
in the box contained enough arsenic to
kill a very large number of people,
The chemist was also given the con-
tents from the stomach of one of the
victims to make an analysis and in ii
he also discovered great quantity of
arsenic.
When placed under powerful mag
nifying glass the poisonous crystals
were plainly revealed. 1t was miracle,
he said, that any one who had partaken
of the mush had escaped DEATH
