A most pathetic circumstance surrounds
the death yesterday afternoon at the East
Bay Sanitorium of Miss Maud E. Hine.
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. ID. Hine of
1861 West street. Yet in its sadness the
story is a pretty one of girlish friend
ships.
Miss Hine was suffering from peritonitis
when she was taken to the sanitorium
few days ago and IL was found, after con-
sultauon, that an operation was her only
hope OF recovery. She was apprised of her
condition and of her danger and she
bravely submitted 10 the counsel of her
physicians. The thought of an operation
seemed a very grave one to her. for but
Few months ago she had sustained the
loss of girl friend under almost similar
circumstances.
That friend, Miss Ethel Pratt. daughter
OF DIR. Pratt of this city. and a girl her
own age. had been taken to the East Bay
Sanitorium for the removal of a tumor.
The operation was a success, but Just as
the young lady seemed TO be out OF dam
ger she began to sink rapidly and passed
away before her heart-broken parents
ously III.
Miss Pratt and Miss Hine were fast
friends of long standing and when the
latter was told of her own danger yester-
day her thoughts at once reverted to the
others untimely and lamented end, and
she spoke Of her tenderly.
IF / should die she said, under this
operation. lay me beside Ethel" She did
die, in spite of all the skill that was used
in her behalf. and will be laid to rest

Miss Hine was a clever and charming
girl and had a very strong desire at one
time for the stage. But after engage
ments at the Alcazar and other theaters
she found phases of the work not to her
liking and returned TO her home. For the
past two years or more she has been all
ing. and her fatal Illness was but the cul-
mination of a disease that could not be
checked
Miss Hine leaves to mourn her, besides

Attorney Hynes decided that, in order

Ing, although court was held by Police
Judge Smith from 1880 till o'clock, only
two witnesses were examined. To-day the
third witness testified and the arguments
were made, and tonight the case was
given TO the jury. During the trial there
were frequent talks between Attorneys
Frick and Church on one side and Prose-
cutting Attorney Hynes on the other, and
several times Judge Frick attacked the
witnesses, attempting TO show that they
had acted without authority in making
the arrest.
Deacon was arrested on December II In

Patrolman Pardee, who were the only
witnesses placed on the stand. They tes-

they had to cut a hole in a tin ventilator.
On the night of the arrest they saw the

street, demanded entrance at the front

they claim the table had been thrown
against the wall and covered and the
players were in another room. They were

JAMES O'BRIEN. MOVES HIS
FAMILY FROM LIVERM0RE

LIVERMORE, Dec. 30.-The family OF
James OBrien will move to San Francisco
next week and shake the dust OF Liver
more off their feet. James OBrien is one
of the oldest residents Of the Livermore
Valley. He settled in Livermore in 1869
and has been one of the largest and most
wealthy ranchers in the neighborhood.
He owned a large ranch and the Liver
more Hotel. The ranch he has sold to
Patrick Connolly and the hotel he has
leased to Harron Bros. who will operate
Ii.
James O'Brien is the father of James F.
O'Brien, who was accused Of assault upon
the daughter OF r. l.. de Lopez of Pleas
anton. The prosecution of O'Brien by De
Lopez was very bitter and IT developed
into feud upon which almost the entire
population OF the Livermore Valley were
divided. O'Brien was several times tried.
but Ii was not until the third trial that
he was convicted. While in jail awaiting
an appeal without bail he developed con-
sumption, and upon medical testimony
was admitted to bail a few weeks ago.

A COURTSH|P
OF ONE WEEK
Miss Rix Marries an
Alaska Millionaire.

IRvINGTON, Dec. 30.-Miss Julia z.
Rix of this place was married to Theodore
B. Straven of Dawson City on Christmas
after a remarkably short courtship of one
week.
Miss Rix is one of the best known young
ladies in Washington Township. She is
the daughter of A. o. Rix of this place,
a pioneer. and one of the large property
owners of this section. She is a graduate
OF the San Jose Normal School and has
been principal of the Irvington School for
some time. She has as many friends as
any one in this section, but she gave her
self to a man from the mysterious, gold
sown districts of Alaska after an ac-
quaintance of but seven days.
Mr.. Straven arrived in Irvington week
before Christmas and was introduced to
Miss Rix. Ii was literally a case of love
at first sight, for on Christmas day they
were wed at the home of the bride s
father and they left that afternoon for
Los Angeles, where they will spend their
honeymoon. S:raven is said to be worth
a great deal of money in Alaska mines,
but is comparatively unknown here.
