A MATRIMONIAL AGENCY FAKE
ANSWERED AN ADVERTISE
 MENT OF A ERICH WIDOW"
She Got Him on a String, Then Worked Him for Costly Pres ents-Now She Is
 in Jail.

Men who seek a sharer of their joys and sorrows through the medium of a matrimonial agency as a rule come to the conclusion that they are fools and wish they had followed the good old custom of winning the affections of girls whose antecedents were known to them.
 Bains Matrimonial Agency in this city has been the means of many heartaches and worse, and now the female head of the concern has been arrested at the in sugation of dupe who has the courage to brave public ridicule
 About the beginning of January last h. C. Franks, a wealthy miner in El PaSo, Tex, noticed an advertisement in Bain's paper, "The Marriage Bell,' that widow worth $250,0O0 wanted husband ; money no object, but only he must be congenial. He thought over the matter. and being bachelor he decided to write to the address in the advertisement. In few days he received reply from Mrs. Grace Allison. who is the female head of the bureau, that she was pleased with his letter, and begging for further particulars about fffna and his anteced- ents. He did not like the tone of the letter, but replied and received a reply that he appeared to be the man she had for years been looking for.
 Franks found it necessary to go to New York on business, and when he reached Jamestown, N. Y, he sent Mrs. Allison diamond engagement ring worth s110 After he had finished his business in New York he came to this city and met Mrs. Allison, who was then living at 516 Jones street. He was delighted with her and it was agreed that they should be married this month. She showed Franks a number of houses that she said belonged to her, and he thought himself the lucki- est man on earth. He remained in the

 Before leaving she told Franks that she would like to have some token of his love and he might send her some silk for dresses and some of the valuable stones her 12S yards of silk valued at $1 50 per yard, and opals and other. precious stones altogether of the value of about 5000.
 All this time they were corresponding In the most endearing terms, and franks longed for the day when he could call own. He arrived here a few days ago and called upon her to fix the day for the wedding. She was cold in her manner and urged him to return to Fl Paso as she was afraid some bewitching young maiden might fascinate him and he would marriage was to take place this month, but she begged that the ceremony be postponed a short time longer.
 She had occasion to leave the room and Franks attention was attracted by a pile of letters on top of bureau; He surprised to find that they were answers to the wealthy widow advertisement. He got suspicious and asked her what the letters meant and she put him off with laughing reply. He went to Attorney Humphrey and explained to him the cir lison Wednesday evening.

SHOT IN THE BACK.
Manual Meads Shoots Fred Miller in Quarrel.

Fred Miller, night cashier in the Brook lyn Restaurant at POT Sixth street, and who resides at 969 Howard street, was shot in the back last night by Manual Meads, brother of John Meads, the pro- prietor of the restaurant. He was ar rested by Officer T. P. Riordan and a charge of assault to murder placed against him. Young Miller was removed to the Receiving Hospital. and although pr. Hartley probed for many minutes he was unable to extract the bullet.
 Miller claims that Meads entered the restaurant last night and charged him with bearing false reports to his brother. Tnis the wounded man denied and em- phasized his denial with a few choice eX- pressons. Meads then smashed him in the face and a fight resulted. Miller had his enemy on the floor pummeling him when Meads pulled a gun out and shot at him.
 Friends then separated the two, but when Miller was moving to his desk Meads shot him in the back.
 The prisoner has charge of the Cream cry Restaurant, IF Sixth street, also owned by John Meads.

she had taken rooms in house on Hyde street, between Union and Pacific streets. A warrant was sworn out for her arrest on the charge of grand larceny by trick and device before Judge Joachimsen, and Sergeant Moff1tt was detailed to arrest her. He succeeded in doing so last night and she was locked up in the City Prison.
 Do I look like a thief? Would any one take me for a criminal?" exclaimed the prisoner last night. "Why, am woman of wealth and refinement. That man, pointing to Desk Sergeant Brown. "has taken nearly $4000 in diamonds from me. It's an outrage that I am placed in this vile place. l was walking to my home when man accosted me and asked me How dare you address me?

He said he was erecting he had no money. and had no business ability to do it. MT. Franks is lacking In intelligence and refinement, and in fact is not my social equal. I have hundreds of letters from him in my room, showing his affection for me. I never cared for him and would never marry him, but if a man forces his gifts on a woman she cannot refuse to accept them.

 He was called into the presence of Chief Lees yesterday and subjected to a rigid interrogation, but as 1t had not been his custom to record the doings of his guests the information that was had of him was only of general character.
 Mrs. Botkin's remaining days in jail will be probably not so devoid of event as have those of the two weeks past. The procession of freaks who are morbidly at tracted by great crimes and great crim- inals has begun, and the prisoner is kept busy declining to be exhibited. One party of six simpering young things were taught lesson yesterday that should be of lasting benefit. Armed with permit from the Chief. they descended upon the City Prison and insistently demanded that the prisoner be dragged forth; The pris- oner declined to be dragged, but the de- mands were not squelched until Turnkey Shaw ordered them out of the prison.
