Mrs. Craven is not very communicative

Her mind reverts to her 3-months old
granddaughter whom she left In St.
Louis, who is pronounced by the tond
grandmother the most beautiful baby on
the continent. .

Craven. 1.-The former case was brought

ton to quiet title to the properly wnlG t1er

done in regard to that suit until we hear
from the Supreme Court
Mrs. Craven admits that the Craven
Fair controversy will break open again
and in the~immediate future .

of right and by law"
When Intercepted about the contention
that she was the lawful wife Of Senator

list of attorneys who appeared in the
trial of the action to quiet title in which

st. Louis. Mr. Koehler is. a brother Of
my son-in-law, Henry Koehler, Jr. Should
my attorneys of this city make any OBJ
jections to this addition of legal artillery
! will not press the matter. l ask it only
as matter of courtesy.
1.-The legal steps which l propose to
take will be upon new issues entirely. l
do not wish to speak of them in detail
out of courtesy to my attorneys. In a
few days there will be a meeting of all
the attorneys in the case and after that
consultation we will know what action to
take and when to begin"
Mrs. Craven will remain IN this city for
some time. Her daughter and son-in-law
will revisit San Francisco during the win
ter and will build a home here.

rHE grounds of the Burlingame Coun-
try Club were the scene yesterday Of
the San Mateo County Open-air
Horse Show Associations annual ex-
hibition. For the first time the show
will extend over two days, the exercises
of yesterday being in the nature of
curtain-raIser, or preliminary canter, as
the horsemen have 1t.
The affair, which assumed the guise Of
an open air fete, was an exact reproduc-
ton of the shows which were such mark
ed features OF the season in this city for
some years. The same beautiful
women, brilliant gowns, splendid equip
ages and dapper grooms were all there,
and suffered nothing through being
shown under cloudless skies. Even
"Dickey' Graham, the cleverest of all
-ingmasters, was there with his shining
tile. severely black coat, English cord
riding breeches and top boots. There
was no drag to the long programme. as
no sooner was one class judged than he
had the representatives of another with
in sound of his sweet-toned coaching
horn.
The members of the Burlingame Club,
under whose patronage the show was
given, commenced to gather at the club
house shortly after high noon. Lunch
con was served on the veranda, where
members ana thelr guests ndu dSseihpleu
in numbers. Shortly after l o'clock the
bugle calls of the Fourth Cavalry Band
were heard. This was the signal that
the judging was about to commence, and
the spectators began to makS their way
toward the appointed rendezvous.
This was a level space to the east OF
the club house, where a ring of liberal
dimensions had been marked out: For
the accommodation of the onlookers a
huge marquee tent had been erected to
shield them from the rays OF the sun.
Near by was smaller tent for the pano-
men, while refreshment booths were
placed within easy access.
The mounted band of the Fourth Unit
ed States Cavalry proved one of the Tea
men who were mounted on their we'll
known gray horses. rode around the RING
several times, playing lively march
After this their horses were sent 70 the
paddock and the musicians played

sensation was created here yesterday when
Miss Belle Grant, popular young society
leader, filed divorce complaint under the
name of Mrs, Jane /. BALKAN. Her nearest
friends did not suspect that she had hus-
band. The defendant is Sidney E. BALKAN,

ness man. The plaintiff recites in her COM
plant that on the Sth day of last Septem-
Der BALKAN induced her to go to Muncie

marriage ceremony. After the ceremony,
she charges that BALKAN deserted her, has
neglected to give any reason for his be-
havior and refused to treat her as his wife.

where he is engaged in the tannery bust
ness. 1t is reported that Mrs BALKAN is

to a query on this question the War De-
partment directed them to submit it to the
corps commander and telegram was sent

much expedited if they were permitted to
send man to each of the four towns to be-
| gin the work of enlisting, leaving them
nothing to do but muster the men in on
their arrival AS, a matter of fact the men
| are now at their homes and have been re-
ceivng applications informally. Crawfords-
Vile has thirty-six young men eager to en-
| list in the tWenty-siX places.

go to Kokomo and Lieutenant Powell to
Charlottesville. How soon they will reach
the other towns they are to visit will de-
places. The men recruited will be sent di-
rectly to Chickamauga in small squads.

| been courteousy treated by Lieutenant
| Petersen and Captain Black. of the regu-
| lar army. and have so far, received a num-
| Der of favors in their work.

effort yesterday afternoon to end her life
by drowning. She had left her home and
her father met her at the home of her
friend. on Walnut street. near the canal

insisted that she accompany him. She ran
from him, and being hard pressed, jumped
into the canal She would have drowned
but for the interference of Gale Johnson. a
well-known hack driver He took her to her
home where it was found the young woman
was none the worse for her bath.
The police regard the Ward girl as vicious
for her years She has repeatedly run away
from home and the police have been called
TO take her from bad associates. Four or
five months ago her mother brought her to
the police station and asked Superintendent
Quigley to have her put some place where
she would be under restraint. The girl con-
scented to go to the Home of the Good Shep-
herd, on Raymond street, and she was sent
there This is the first time the police have
heard from her since.
