Ellen Garcia's Duplicity TO
Considerable Amount

Charles z. Mason, who Is employed by
the Southern Pacific Company, told Of
hcer McMurray Of the Society for the
Prevention Of Cruelty TO Children yester-
day that he was victim OF unrequited
love 70 the tune OF about $4,000
The woman in the case IS a daughter
OF Mrs Ellen Garcia. who alleged that
on Tuesday night she was crfminally as
saulted by three men in Columbia Park

supported the family for years under the
impression that the daughter Maud was

the furniture at a sacrifice Mrs. Garcia
aIways led him on by telling him that
Maud was infatuated with him and would
surely marry him
About ten days ago she married Mat
thew G CuSnen- an engineer on the trans
port Sherman, and Mrs. Garcia made
pretense that she would have Cusheu ar

she went TO police headquarters for that
purpose. but nothing was done Mason
says he Is brokeuhearted, as ne truly
loved the girl.

ORPHANS AT THE CIRCUS.

The Walter L. Main circus will be
greatly missed by the people Of san Fran

peciaIIy by the little folks. to whom an
afternoon or evening In the mammoth

OF interest. while the big show itself Is
wonderful beyond their widest dreams

who display an intelligence that is truly
remarkable, the druH sayings of the
clowns. the thrilling acts Of the parallel

three rings and OF the Rough Riders the
exciting Roman chariot RACES, and, last but
not least, the laughahIe minstrel show
all go TO make up an entertainment OF un-
usual excellence
One OF the most remarkable things in
connection with this circus IS the geuer-
osity OF the management. Every day
since the show opened there have been
thousands OF guests under the acres OF
canvas. Yesterday was orphans day
and between 2gG0 and 5000 little folks
thronged the tents during the afternoon.

remained for the minstrel performance.
