WILL THROW SISTERS
ASHES TO THE WINDS

OAKLAND, Aug. 3-Through an appH-
cation made to the secretary Of the Board
of Health to-day to secure a permit to
remove the ashes TO this city of person
who had been cremated in San Francisco,
a strange dying wish Of a Mrs. Naughton
of San Francisco, sister of Mrs. L. E.
Drake of this city, was revealed. Mrs
Naughton expressed desire that all that
was left of her remains after incineration
should be returned TO nature. 1t was Mrs
brakes idea to take the ashes TO Noun
tain View Cemetery and there, instead OF
depositing the urn in a vault or burying
ii in a plat. to throw its contents to the
winds. "They will soar to the heavens"
said she, 'and we who are Gods creatures
will come nearer to God"

MON 7 TGOMERY IS
NOW BEING SUED
FOR A DIVORCE
Sequel of Sensational
Recent Episode.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
90S Broadway. Aug. 81.


John D. Montgomery, better known
about town as Jack Montgomery, was
to-day Sued for a divorce by his wife,
Jennie Montgomery, on the ground of
cruelty.
This is the expected sequel to a sensa-
tional acid-throwing case in which the
couple appeared as principals about two
months since. AT that time the story was
published TO the effect that Montgomery
had been leading a double life, and that
his wife, after trailing him for a number
of weeks, had discovered him one night
in a Seventh-street restaurant in company
with a young unmarried woman. the
daughter of H. Kucks, a saloon-keeper.
Every effort was made by Montgomery s
friends to prevent scene, and in this
they practically succeeded since the wife
was induced to permit Montgomery to ac-
company her home.
Although appearing to have condoned
her husbands otfense Mrs. Montgomery
was but plotting revenge, and cruel re-
venge a. that, as subsequent events fully
revealed The next day the many friends
of the family were startled to learn that
Montgomery's eyes had been blinded by
face while he slept. For hours Montgom-
cry had wandered about the streets, seek
ing some friends TO help him in his
trouble and when an oculist made his
first examination of the optics it was
thought that the sight was gone forever.
Good care, however, restored the sight,
anu montgomery 10 AOH dpPoA SASlS oS
But the wife fed. She left her husband
for good, and has now taken the step
which will separate her from the man
whom she declares was unfaithful to his
marriage vows. Mrs. Montgomery's at
torney is Colonel T. F. Garrity, and the
suit will probably go by default.
Another interesting divorce suit is that
filed by Beatrice Chase against Albert
Chase. wherein desertion is given as the
ground for the cause of action. The young
couple were married in San Rafael last
March, and on the very eve of the cere-
mony so the complaint reads, the hus-
band deserted his young bride, who has
since become a mother. According to
suit for maintenance filed late TINS after-
noon the deserted young bride and mother
is now wholly dependent upon her own
exert.ons and the charity of relatives to
provide for herself and child; moreover.
business houses refuse her credit for the
necessaries of life. She asks that the
court order her husband to pay 5? weekly
for the support of herself and child and
$50 counsel fees pending the action.
The divorce suit of john Anderson
against Mary Alice Dorothea Anderson
has been referred TO Court Commissloner
Babcock owing TO the failure or DEFEND
ant TO appear and answer. In his com
plant Anderson alleges cruelty; Hls
wife's actions he ayers, caused MIN 10
