MONTESANO, WASH, March 30-What
had hitherto been supposed to be mur-

terday OF the body of Edmund f. Silage in
the Wynooche River. His body was found
lodged in DRIFT at the south pier of the
Wynooche wagon bridge, about mile
from the city. Little was known of the
unfortunate, other than that he came to
this city on January % last and remained
until the morning of January 26. during
which time he exhibited considerable
money and purchased full outfit of pro-

and an Indian canoe, and started up the
Wynooche River.
The next morning pieces of the canoe
and parts of the outfit were caught short
distance below where he was known 10

Jesse Hunter Brings Action to
Recover Valuable City
Property.
The Defendant One Who Three De.
cades After Their Marriage Goa.
tessed Herself a Bigamist.

los ANGELES, CAL, March 30-A
suit of peculiar interest and involving
"reminiscences of forty years ago and a
romance with MARTA! complications, was
begun here to-day before Judge Allen of the
Superior Court. The action was brought
by Jesse Hunter against Jane Elizabeth
Milan to recover property decided to de-
fendant by plaintiff in the value of $50, COO.
Hunter sets forth that on July 3, 1862, a
marriage was solemnized between the
plaintiff and defendant by ]. d. Wood
worth, Justice of the Peace, and after
d ward the certificate of marriage was re-
corded. At the time of the wedd1ng the
defendant had been married 10 and was
the lawful wife of Joseph Milan and the
ceremony of marriage between the plaintiff
and the defendant was for that reason
void but Hunter continued TO be ignorant
OF the tact, believing the proceedings to
have been legal. On the other hand
the defendant knew all the time
that the marriage ceremony was null and
void.
in 1878 Hunter believed he was near to
death and decided TO his wife 8 lot on the
west side of Fort street, now Broadway,
on which stands the NJ. Z. Church. Hun
ter did not die, but continued to live on
the Fort-street lot until 1888. This prop
erty had been inherited by Hunter from
his father.
In 1888 the defendant confessed TO
Hunter that at the time of their marriage
she was the wife of Joseph Milan, and
that the latter was still alive and she had
not been divorced from him. This was a
great shock to Hunter. He declined to
live with her longer, and since that date
they have never lived together as man
and wife.
The separation caused the woman to
bring an action for divorce from her real
husband, Milan. The decree was granted
on March %, 1884. The deed OF the Fort
street property was subsequently set aside
and a new deed made out In the name OF
Jane Elizabeth Tom pkIns. This property
was to be hers during hel life, and in case
she survived him (nunter) 1t should go
10 her heirs. Until February 16, 1892,
the defendant laid no claim TO the prop
erty in question other than life interest,
but since that date she has claimed the
property by virtue Of the deed originally
made 10 her Now Hunter asks the court
10 declare both deeds void and that each
be Cancelled.
The story of Mrs. Hunters maria ge
with Milan involves another romance.
She was living with her paren is. in 1855, in
San Bernardino County. The latter, be-
coming dissatisfied. decided to return to
Salt Lake. they being Mormons. The girl
did not want 10 return and concluded that
if she got married her leaving California
would be prevented. Sne had the oppor-
tunity to wed Joseph Milam ana did SO.
They lived together two weeks, when her
parents compelled her to accompany them
back 10 Salt Lake. Milan then left fol-
Santa Cruz. Many years later Mrs. Milan
returned to this State and married Jesse
Hunter. 1t is said that Milan is still
alive.

In the early days the Russian-American Com
pany saw that the female seals were preserved.
Even in the lawless period from 1856 to 1870
only the young males were killed.
The Alaska Commercial Company exis ted
from 1870 to 1890. The industry was contin-

mand Tor sealskins increased. This company's s

animal killed and captured at sea six are
killed and lost. While the North American
Commercial Company was in existen ce the

The United States complained Of the treat

were seized. England protested. The modus

nor America should kill seals ON land or sea-
was put into operation for two years. Before
the Paris tribunal of arbitration America
cia m "a the Bering Sea and the ownership of
the fur-seal herd, and also that killing the
sea son land only was necessary to preserve
the herds. The British denied all the claims
OF the United States. The tribunal did not
fully understand the question. The evidence
brought before it would disgrace any court in
any country. The whole arbitration was
simply an attempt t o sm Doth the matter over
and make it look well. There was no attempt
to give Justice to either side.
The tribunal decided that the United States
did not own Bering Sea. 1t must pay owners
OF vessels seized. The animals were wild and
wild animals belonged 10 no one except when
on land. 1t was the duty OF the nations to
protect the herds, and regulations for their
protection and preservation were adopted.

SAN RAFAEL. Call, March S0.-Colonel
Peter A. Finigan has been granted until

court. Finigan did not produce the
money, ana Judge Angelotti allowed him
until the Sd of April.
The Flnigan divorce case has attracted
considerable attention, both on account
of the prominence of the parties and their
wealth, Colonel Finigan being classed as
one OF Caliiornia's millionaires. The case
was to have been heard this week, but the
contempt proceedings have caused a
delay Mrs. Finigan was allowed $10O a
month aImony, pending the outcome OF
the litigation.
| Mrs. Finigan in her complaint alleges
| that her husband is unreasonably jealous
and accuses him of doing ali sorts of

even alleges that he kept pistol under

| frightened her, and assigns this as one of
the causes OF her poor health.
She further say s that the colonel accused
her of flirting and nc-iecting him in order
to win the admiration of others. She

everything.

miles south OF this city. The residence or

shortly after O'Clock, and the thief came

Yesterday afternoon the Olympic Club

to discuss the proposition OF matching
Tommy Ryan and George Green. Green.
it appears, is willing to fight the Eastern
man for any fair purse, but Ryan has re-
fused all offers that have been made to
him by the Olymplcs, and particular
friend of Tommy's telegraphed the club
on Monday that Ryan would not meet
Green on this coast unless he was guaran-
teed $1,000 purse and expenses.
After long discussion over dollars and
cents, the directors finally decided to give
Douglas White full power to act, and he
was instructed to telegraph the last offer
the club will make to Ryan, and that is a
purse of $4,000 and $500 for expenses. Ii
the Eastern welter.weight will refuse this
proposition, the club will then conclude
that Ryan has no great fancy TO enter a
ring against the Californian for reasons
that are best known to himself.
the National Club has been seriously
thinking of matching "Parson" Davies

But Joseph, when approached upon the
subject, stated without any hesitation
that he was out Of the fighting business,

FRESNO. CAL, March 30.-The vine-
yardists of Fresno County will be jubila Mt
in the morning when they read the news
that the Ways and Means Committee of
Congress has recommended a duty OF 2
cents q pound on Zante currants, an in
crease of a cent on the rate first proposed.
The growers have o delegation consisting
OF DR.. Rowell and Colonel Forsyth, assist
ed by General Chapman in Wash ingron,
to work for a higher tariff on the Grecian
product.
This afternoon telegram was received
from DR.. Rowel stating that the delega-
ton had failed in its purpose. This was
very disappointing news, for without a
sufficient tariff the Iow-priced Grecian
currants would compete with California
raisins in The Eastern markets. This
evening another telegram was received
from DR.. Rowell, 10 the effect that the
Ways and Means Committee had recon-
sidered ana recommended a duty of
cents. With tariff on raisins On 2L
cents and 2 cents on currants the vine
yardists are satisfied.
