MEASLES PREVENT A
MEDICO'S MARRIAGE
A NEW TROUBLE CoNFRONTS
DR.. ALFRED SANDER.
His Intended Bride Stricken With
the Disease on the Eve of
the Wedding.

ALAMEDA, Feb. 1S-Dr. Alfred Sam
der the hero of hundred romances,
thinks the fates are against him when
they have anything to do with his love
affairs. Last week he went on the war
path in search of reporters because the
particulars of one of his affairs had found
their way into print. The story was an
old one, known to nearly every Alamo
dan. The doctor did not so much object
to the yarn in itself as he did to it's APP
pearance on the eve of his wedding to
Miss Ruth Martha Gutenberg. He found
solace for his wounded feelings by threat
ening to shoot every member of the Ala
media newspaper fraternity.
DR.. Sanders wedding is set for to-mor-
row. The feast has been prepared, the
floral marriage bell and other accessories
to a function of the kind are in readiness,
but they will not be used. A misfortune
far worse than a newspaper story has
interviewed to mar the doctors happiness.
The wedding arrangements have been dis
organized by a well developed case of
measles that made its appearance during
the night.
1t was with sad demeanor that DR.. San
der notified the Health Department that
his intended bride had fallen a victim
TO the epidemic that is now prevalent in
Alameda For fear that some new trouble
may present itself, the man of medicine
has determined that the wedding cere-
mony Will be performed tomorrow, even
though the feast and festivities arranged
for the occasion must be dispensed with.
Miss Gutenberg is very sick tonight.
and although her illness is by no means
fcfently severe to make a poStponement
of the wedding imperative

rotary of the Imperial Treasury, and
DR.. BoSse, Minister of instruction, and
other Ministers. 1t is not yet known
how it will all end, with the retirement
of one faction, or with fresh compro-
mise. Some of the newspapers predict
the retirement of the three Agrarians.
Baron Won BuloW, it is understood,
continues TO enjoy the full confidence
of the Emperor, who holds that foreign
office interests must be allowed to pre-
dominate, at any rate for the time be-
ing, in view of the important and deli
cate negotiations which are proceeding
with several of the powers, especially
with the United States. The officials
of the American Embassy here have
made representations to the German
Government in behalf of American pc
troleum interests. About a year ago
the German Government announced
that there was grave danger of an
American monopoly in Germany, and
that the Government therefore would
facilitate the import of Russian petrol
cum. Since then the Prussian state
railroads have begun to use exclusive
ly Russian petroleum. However, by
recent administrative measure, the
flash test has been raised in Prussia
and other German states which
amounts to a virtual discrimination
against American OIL The American
Embassy took exception to these mea-
sures, but it was fruitless. The Ger
man newspapers now assert that the
Standard Oil Company and the Russian
companies have come to an agreement
and that the Government will shortly
be interpellated regarding the steps to
be taken to counteract the threatened
revival of the monopoly
Emperor William has pardoned
Henry Tiedemann of New York, a Ger
man-American who deserted from the
Prussian army in 1850 and went to the
United States, where he became nat
uralized and built up prosperous
business in New York Recently he
relatives in Germany and was court
martialed and sentenced to several
years Imprisonment, although the Of
Tense was committed before he went to
America and he therefore was not
amenable to the treaty provisions.
The American Embassy, however,
made representations with happy re-
suits.
The Emperor this week ordered from
Begast. the sculptor, heroic statue of
William /, with Prince Bismarck and
Marshal Won Moltke on either side of
him. to complete the collection of the
HohenZollern monarchs in the Siege
Sale, near the Reichstag.
Prince Adelbert, his Majesty's third
son, is to enter the German navy in the

90S Broadway, Feb. Is.
Love of dress and a desire TO lead a
gayer life than is possible with hard
working rancher has caused Mrs. Rose
Enos to leave her home and seek pleasure
in other company than that of her hus-
band
Mrs. Enos. although only married three
years, has often threatened to elope, and
her husband has moved several times in
the hope of inducing his wife to be con-
tented with her surroundings. He has
not succeeded.
Last Thursday Mr.. Enos spent a few
hours in the calaboose at Pleasanton, and
his offense consisted in inflicting punish
ment on the man whom he blamed for
his wife's frailty. Three years ago the
couple were married at San Leandro.
They settled down to domestic life in the

sun did not regulate the beginning and
Anxious to please Mrs. Enoss her hus
band bought pretty home on C street,
at Haywards, and for a time his wife
Watsonville visited the Enos home, and
after his departure the little wife was
again disconnected.
Mr.. Enos, still anxious to please and be
indulgent, permitted his wife to visit
friends at Watsonville. and since then his
home has not known happiness. Last
Thursday a friend called on Mrs. Enos
while her Woodworking husband was In
the field, and induced her to take buggy
ride TO PleaSanton. EnoS heard of it
just in time to catch the train and nip
the elopement in the bud. He found his
man, and a minute later Pleasanton was
the scene of a sanguinary battle. Enos
Won, but his competitor had him arrested
for battery He was later released and
returned TO his desolate home, and now
declares that he will make no more over
lures to content Mrs. Enos.

GEORGE LAYMANCE
Slayer of j. N. Kartell Believed to
Have Been Seen Near
Woodland

WOODLAND, Feb. 1s-About two
weeks ago Samuel Scarlet of Yolo called
at the Sheriff's Office and reported that
he had seen a man in the forest near
Cache Creek, whose actions Indicated
that he was of unsound mind or else was
trying to escape Identification. When
the man was spoken to he kept his eyes
closely riveted on the ground and declined
to look his questioner in the face. Scar
lett noticed that the man had a scar on
one side of his face.
The Sherff's office has since received a
letter from Sheriff Grace of Sonoma
County, in which it is stated that George
w. Laymance is wanted in that county
for the murder of J. N. Kartell of Heads
burg. The assault was made on Deem
Der %. 1895. but Kartell did not die until
February 4 1899.
The description given by Sheriff Grace
tallies with that given by Scarlet of the
man he met near Cache Creek The
Sheriff makes particular mention of the
scar on the face and of Laymance's habit
of looking at the ground while engaged
