Gives Up a Team to Make Amends
Notable Musical Event at San
Bernardino


SAN BERNARDINO, June 11.-There
occupied by L. l.. Davis, wife and two
little children, one a babe. When the father
and mother of Mrs. Davis started out on
a prospecting tour for Southern California,
Mrs. Davis went along. They had not
progressed far when H. c. Saunders came
along in spring wagon and wished to
make one of the party for the sake of So
cialibility, and to relieve the load on the
large wagon, took Mrs. Davis and the babe
in his wagon, together with few house,
hold things.
When they reached this city, under pre-
tense that one of his horses was SICK,
Saunders stopped to see a doctor, saying
they would catch up with the old folks be-
fore night. Instead he drove off in another
direction, taking the wife against her will,
and till few days ago the husband did not
know the whereabouts of the wife. Her
parents returned to Phoenix without being
able to find her.
Saunders would not let her write and
kept her a partial prisoner, living in and
around Azusa. Recently the wife got word
TO her husband, who, with one of her
brothers came on and found the couple.
Saunders offered to make amends by giving
the woman he had stolen from her husband
the spring wagon and horses to take her
home and rather than make any more
trouble she took it with legal bill of SALE
duly witnessed, and with her husband and
brother started for home. After their de-
parture from Azusa Saunders got out a
warrant, claiming the bill of sale was OBJ
tanned at the muzzle Of revolver and
Davis was arrested here and this morning
taken back to Azusa.
