R0M1NcE ENDS IN FRESNO JAH.
Harry Robbe incarcerQted Upon a
Warrant Sworn Out BY His
CirL-Mife.

FRESNO, CAL, Aug. 16.-Harry Robbie
was brought over from Sanger to-day by
Constable Irvine and lodged in the County
Jail on a charge OF assault to do bodily
harm, the accusation being preferred by
his wife.
Justice Cummings. in whose court the
warrant was sworn out, fixed the prison
er's bail at $3.50. He was unable to give
this amount and was committed to the
County Jail pending his examination.
which was set for the 22i inst.
The troubles OF Robbie and his wife make
up remarkable story. Mrs. Robbie is
pretty girl, only II years of age. Robbie
is blacksmith by trade, but of late he
has been employed by the Valley road in
building fences along the track.
Ihe couple was married three months
ago, the mother of the girl giving her con-
sent onlv after she saw her daughter was
determined TO marry Robbie.
They lived together for about month,
when Mrs. Robbie eloped one afternoon
with her husbands brother, jeff Robbie,
who is also a blacksmith. 1t seems that
the brothers had been rivals in courting
the girl, but Harry came out winner.
After the marriage Mrs. Robbie became
i'll. and Harry, who had to be at his work
curing tu0 oays vel iOOliouiy
jeff to stay at the house and attend his
wife.
She and her husbands brother and
former rival passed the days very pleas
antly together, and they fell in loxs with
each other. The unsuspecting husba nj
did not dream OF what was going on.
One fine afternoon in the latter part of
June Mrs. Robbie recovered suddenly from
her illness and eloped with her husbands
brother. They hired team and drove to
Coils, where in the evening they boarded
a train to Los Banos. There they stopped
at a hotel together, registering as man and
wife.
The injured husband stormed about in
vain attempts to locate the runaway
couple. Then he induced his wife's
mother to swear out warrant for the ar
rest of his brother on a charge of abduc-
ton. After a few days the officers located
the elopers at Los Banos, and brought
them back TO this city.
Mrs. Robbie refused to 60 back to her
husband, declaring that she loved his
brother and would go to Jail with him.
But the officer would not grant her this
privilege, as he had no warrant for her.
She had no place 10 go, and being without
funds, she was compelled to accompany
her mother home.
There her husband was waiting her.
The mother sided with her son-in-law.
Robbie sought to win back the affections

Cincinnati, June 23.-Hon. William ].
Bryan, when asked by an Enquirer re-
porter concerning the charges made by
Professor Bateman, the Peoples party
candidate for governor of Maine last
year, said:
mo conditions were attached to the
money turned over to Senator Allen,
except that it should be used according
to Mr.. Aliens judgment for the cause
of bimetalism. All donations were
made for that purpose. The money
was divided between Democrats, Popu-
lists and Silver Republicans in pro-
portion to the vote cast. To have ig-
nored the Populists in the distribu-
tion would have been an inexcusable
slight. The subject Of fusion was not
discussed directly or indirectly.
Mr., Bateman, presume, has refer
ence to the letter as reproduced in my
book. I took it from the newspapers.
If Professor Bateman proves to me
that it was mistake, I shall make
the change in subsequent editions"
