THE THRIFTY MEDIUM
How Spook Woman Fleeced Her
Victim

IT have heard quite a number of stor-
les of mediums. but one came to me a
few days ago." said a lawyer. (which
takes the pastry as far as have heard.
1t appears young man, who Is engaged
In business in this city. during the past
winter began an investigation into mat
ters connected with spiritualism. He
made q number of calls upon medium,
who, In this case, is married woman.
In some manner the medium ascertained
that the young man had been married,
but for some reason declined,to live with
his wife. With this knowledge the me-
dium began to get information from the
spiritual world for the young man and
for which she charged him 81 per sitting.
After he had paid her about $50 for
seances the medium got the information
from her control that it was the duty
of the young man to apply for divorce
from his wife. The information also di-
rected that he should secure the services
of particular lawyer, who Is the hus-
band of the medium. He did so, and paid
more fees, though the application has
not yet been filed, for the reason that the
young man, has no legal evidence of his
wife's unfaithfulness, though he has
any quantity of spiritual evidence, which,
HS"S'SA, oCCo iiot pay any very
part in the courts. Next the young man
was Informed by The medium that he
should take rooms and board at the
residence Of the medium, and that she
had spiritual authority from the young
mans grandmother, who is long since
dead, for so directing him. This he de-
INJURED to at first, but finally consented
and moved bag and baggage into the
mediums house, where he was com
pelled to pay rather stiff price for the
same. The deserted wife heard of it In
some way and employed me to look af-
ter her interests in the matter ] went
to see the medium, also her husband,
who claimed to be a lawyer, and the
young man. The next thing the young
man knew the medium and her hus-
band jumped the town, leaving the
young man stuck for the rent of the
house for February and March, which
he will have to pay. and out several
hundred dollars in other ways."--Lon-

OVERDOSE OF MORPHINE
CAUSES THE DEATH OF MR.. W.
F. BARBER
The Deceased Was Despondent but
Did Not Take the Dose With
Suicidal Intent

William F. Barber died at his late res
idence on Figueroa street, near Thir-
teenth, at II o'clock Friday morning. The
deceased, who was the son Of w. d. Bar
ber, was so years of age. For some time
Mr. Barber had been suffering from va
rious physical ailments and recently be-
came despondent about his condition. To
allay pain and quiet his nerves Mr..
Barber had been in the habit OF taking
morphine In small quantities. On Thurs
day night he took dose of the medicine
about s o'clock and one grain at IL
o'clock. The drug was taken without
consultation with his physician. Yester-
day morning he was found to be In
lethargic condition, and the family ply
sician, DR.. Choate, was hastily sum-
moned. DR.. Maynard also visited the
patient in consultation, but Mr.. Barber
did not regain consciousness before ne
passed away.
At the coroner's office the opinion was
expressed that apoplexy was the cause
of Mr.. Barber's death, but DR.. Choate,
while scouting the idea of suicide, IS OF
the opinion that his demise was due 70
an overdose of morphine, taken with
the intent to bring sleep only, not deatn.
The fact that Mr.. Barber TOOK Two
doses of the drug indicates that the idea
of suicide did not enter his MIND. Inc

Order Against Ben Winton


Order Against Ben Winton
PostofIice Inspector Flint has been
giving much attention of late to the abuse
of Uncle Sans mail. Recently he re-
ceived letter from Cripple Creek, Colo,
enclosing a circular sent out from this
city advertising for sale loaded dice and
various other gambling implements. by
Ben Winton. who announces his address
to be Hotel Nadeau. Mr.. Flint consult
ed with the United STAGES attorney and
learned that there is no law under which
Winton can be prosecuted. The chief of
police also acknowledges that the city
authorities are powerless in the matter,
so the case was reported to Washington,
resulting In fraud order against Win
ton, which deprives him Of receiving any
mail matter addressed to him. The su-
preme court has decided that the post
master-general has the right to refuse TO
issue mail to any person whom he may
have reason to believe Is abusing the
