The Girl Reaches Alameda Penniless
and Heartbroken and Appeals
to the Authorities to Send
Her Back Home.

ALAMEDA. July 22.-After a vain
search from Colorado through Los An
geles to Alameda for a faithless lover,
Maud Fuller. penniless and without friends,
was forced 10 appeal TO local charity to
assist her to get back to her home in Colo
rado Springs. Miss Fuller's story is the
oft-told tale of the trusting maid and
oiIy-tongued scoundrel. Back in her Col
orado home she met a young man who
passed as Alvin Pratt. He was an adept
at love making, and being what might be
termed handsome soon won the heart Of
Miss Fuller. There was a promise Of mar
riage and the young girl, to her sorrow,
placed too much faith in her lovers pro-
testatlons of everlasting affection.
Repeatedly she appealed to him to make
good his pledge and save her from dis
grace, but he kept putting her Off, until
driven 10 desperation she confessed to her
parents and begged them to avenge the
wrong that had been done her. An an
cry father went cunning for Pratt, but
the deceiver had flown. 1t was learned
that he had gone to Los Angeles.
Miss Fuller's parents sold their house

find that Pratt had learned Of her com
Ing and had departed for Alameda. She
FASTENED on after him, reaching here
early last week. Being unable to locate
Pratt, she placed her case in the hands
of the local police and tearfully begged
them to make diligent search for the fell
low. Miss Fuller said her means were
exhausted and that she could continue the
chase no longer. She was taken in charge
by Mrs. s. A O'Nen Of the Alameda
Charitable Association, who has since
cared for the unfortunate girl at her
home, 2221 San Antonio avenue.
The police heard that Alvin Pratt had
been in Alameda and was here at the time
the girl arrived. but he managed to evade
them, and his present whereabouts is not
known.
To-day Mrs. O'Neil on behalf of the
girl, asked the Supervisors to assist her
to reach her parents. AS a result she will
go back to Colorado Tuesday.

Cornelia c. Bedford, the cooking expert.
but it was so very good that it is
worth recommending. 1t is not too late
to try it, for there are still cherries in
the market, though there may not be
week from now. What do you think of
pineapple with cherries? Very good,
indeed. I assure you. Your pineapple
must be grated or CHOPPED fine, and the
cherries pitted. Then the pits are boil
ed in very little water, and after tney
have been strained out the sugar is put
into this liquid to dissolve for the syrup.
There must be equal parts of the fruit,
and the white cherries must be used TO
keep the preserve colorless. Allow NAN
q nound of sugar to a pound of the
fruit. Into the syrup put the pineapple,
and let it boil until it is nearly clear.
Then add the cherries and boil until
quite clear, which will take usually
from six 10 eight minutes. Put up hot
In sealed Jars as other preserves.

A Man CHASE
At Clarksburg, Last Evening, With
Fatal Result--A Boy Seriously
Wounded.

Special to the Register.
CLARKSBURG,W. Va. June 25.-
This evening near the bridge approach
ing the Baltimore and Ohio railroad de-
pot, an unknown man struck son of
Geo. McClung with rock and, it is
believed, fatally injuring him. Officer
Waldo pursued the man to a point on
the Weston road, firing two shots at
him, but the stranger declined to give
up and jumped into the river to swim
across, when other citizens were called
on to assist in his arrest He refused
to surrender and was finally shot and
killed by young man named Bough-
ner.
Later developments in the shooting
case here this evening are that the man
who was killed was E. A. Young, son
of Stillman Young, of Buckhannon.
The whole affair was the outgrowth
of a trivial quarrel, and public senti-
ment is high against the officers, who
themselves shot at the man and then
allowed mere boy to murder an in
noce.lt man. Prosecutions will no
doubt be strongly pushed by the friends
of the murdered man.
