RELICS OF a BOOM.
MORTGAGES Foreclosed to Realize Mon
eys Borrowed by George G.
Baker in Better Days.

OAKLAND, Nov. 25.-The vast real es-
tate interests once held in this city by
George G. Baker, formerly State president
of the A. P. A, are rapidly being fore
closed upon by mortgages.
During the big boom in Oakland from
1887 to 1885, Baker was in the height Of
prosperity and he borrowed thousands
with which to purchase vast tracts with
a view of realizing big profits during the
boom. But the boom collapsed and the
mortgages Baker had given to secure
notes approached the day of Judgment.
About year ago Baker suddenly left,
deserving his wife, and he is now sup
posed to be residing in Albany, n. Y,
but the notes continue to fall due and the
mortgages continue in foreclosure. Only
a few days ago ]. H. T Watkinson was
given a decree and judgment for $45, 900
on property Baker had purchased in Pied
mont during the boom, with money Dor
rowed from the Central Bank. Walter
T. Lewis holds judgment for $S75, and
among more recent foreclosure suits are
five commenced by the German Savings
and Loan Society aggregating about $780,
900. There are others.

JUDGMENT AGAINST HARD.
Default Entered Against the Alameda
Justice Whose Court Was
Attached

ALAMEDA, Nov. 25.-A default has
been entered in the suit of G. A. Swasey
against d. T. Hard, Justice of the Peace
of Alameda Township, and George Bah
cock, Court Commissioner of the Superior
Court. This is the suit under which a
Constable's lock was placed on Justice
Hards court and the furniture attached
and carted away. The Judge has COM
menced proceedings against the Consta-
BILE for $4,000 damages for locking him out
of his courtroom The action is now
pending in the Superior Court. The Of
ficer who levied the attachment on the
courtroom paraphernalia will sell the
goods at public auction in few
days. His defense in the damage
suit will be that Hard was not in
the possession of his courtroom at the
time it was attached. for the reason that
his landlord had refused to wait for de-
linquent rent. The landlord says the
keys of the court were del-vereu to him
several days before the attachment was
levied Hard has not been a conspicuous
figure on the streets since election.

BURNED To
DEATH IN HER
CHILD'S HOME
Mrs. Hastings Was
Seized by a Fit.
WAS FOUND IN FLAMES
HER DAUGHTER WAS IN AN AID
JOINING ROOM.
While Partaking of Breakfast Alone
the Aged Widow Fell Back
ward Into the
Fire.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

90S Broadway, Nov. rs.
An aged widow, whose years lacked
but ten of a century, fell into fireplace
this morning at Lafayette and was burned
to death in the presence of her daughter.
Mrs Louise Hastings, on whose charred
remains an inquest will be held tomorrow
by Coroner Curry of Contra Costa, lived
with her daughter, Mrs. Warren Brown,
and 1t was at the latter's home that the
accident took place.
Mrs. Hastings arose as usual this
morning about 7 o'clock, and according
TO custom attended to several little du-
ties about the house. She sat down to
breakfast alone in the dining room d.
rectly in front of a big fire which she
had kindled in an open fireplace. Her
daughter was in another room, and being
very deaf did not hear her mother cry
scream. When Mrs. Brown entered the
dining room she saw her mother envel-
oped in flames partly on the crate. The
poor woman was actually being roasted
alive without being able to make an eff
fort to help herself.
Mrs. Brown pulled her mother off the
hearth and finally quenched the flames,
but II was too late to save her mother s
life. The old lady was dead probably
she received. The Brown place Is just
north of the county line, and the family
had lived there for many years. The
victim was well known in both Alameda
and Contra Costa counties.
Mrs Hastings had been subject to fits
for some time and it is believed that she
fell in the fire while suffering from one.

Alameda Wants Oakland to Whack
Up in Building Tenn
porary Road.

ALAMEDA, Nov. 25.-The Alameda au-
thorities are doing considerable figuring
as to what Oakland will contribute toward
building the approaches to Alice-street
bridge, which will be used temporarily
while the new Webster-street bridge is
in course of construction. The work will
cost in the neighborhood of $1,000. AS the
roadway is used almost exclusively by
teamsters from Oakland, the Alamedans
thought it would be nothing more than
fair Il the city across the estuary would
contribute at least pne-half of the ex-
pense. J. z. Taylor and George Arper of

sui FOR DIVORCE
DISCRETION IS ALLEGED AS THE
CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

yJS broadway, NOV. 70.
Mrs Ada NJ. Hewes, through her attor-
ney, A A. Moore, to-day filed suit In the
Superior Court for divorce from Charles
Leslie Hewes. The plaintiff is q sister of
Henry 2. Dalton, County Assessor, and
while the suit at this time is no surprise,
it recalls to many the elaborate nuptials
celebrated in this city nearly five years
ago, when Charles Hewes led Ada M. Dali
ton to the altar.
The couple, however, did not live hap
PLY in each others company, and about a
year later Hewes deserted his young
bride, and it was whispered that he would
commence divorce proceedings; but now
the wife sues on the ground of desertion.
Both parties are very popularity known In
local society circles. The defendant has
been in the employ of the National Cash
Register Company.
Mrs Sophie Schoenfelder has also COM
menced suit for a divorce from John H.
The defendant in this suit is son of the
retired millionaire brewer, who resides at
Eighth and Market streets, this city.
The suit recalls a sensation exploited in
the papers over a year ago, at which time
Schoenfelder left his wife and children as
a result of his infatuation for woman
Francisco at first, and then returned to
this city, where Mr.. MCGEE secured d.
Vorce.
Shortly afterward. when SchoenfeIder
mother finally regained custody of the lad.
The present suit has long been expected.
but it was supposed that infidelity would
be the ground alleged, but Attorney Hugh
S. Aldrich, on behalf of the plaintiff, as
serts that simply desertion has been
charged.
Barbara Bolts also commenced suit to-
day for a divorce from James B. Bolts on
the ground of desertion; as did also Alice
L. Jeffress against Egbert F. Jeffress.
