ALMOST STRAINED TO PIECES
TOWED INTO EUREKA IN DIS
TRESS BY THE RUSH.

The wiseacres along the front were all
shaking their heads and saying, ''I told
you So" yesterday. They were referring
TO the steamer Nunivak, now at Eureka.
Reports from Humboldt Bay say she will
never go to sea again, unless it may be
that during a fine spell of weather she
should be towed back to San Francisco
to be broken up for junk.
Ihe Nunfvak proved to be good vessel
on her trial trip on the bay and was ac-
cepted by the United States authorities.
On May she was taken in tow by the
revenue cutter Richard Rush and a start
was made for the Yukon. Lieutenant
Commander Thompson was in command
of the Rush and Lieutenant Cantwell in
command of the Nunivak. Almost as soon
as the two revenue cutters passed the
1ghtshfp a storm came up from the
northwest and the troubles of the NUM-
yak began. The seas made clean breaches
over her and the creaking and groaning
of her timberS made her crew fear she
would go to pieces.
The third day out the Nunivak was
leaking like a sieve and the crew pre-
pared to abandon her at any moment.
The hogchains snapped one after another,
the calking dropped out of the seams and
the water poured in not only through the
sides but down through the decks: her
the engines and boilers were forced ten
inches out of line, and, to add to the
misery and despair of the crew, the
pumps choked.
It now looked as though the Nunivak
would drop to pieces at any minute, and
Lieutenant Cantwell signaled the Rush
that he would have TO abandon his vessel
Captain Thompson signaled back asking
him to stand by her little longer, as he
thought he could make Eureka. Luckily
for the Nunivak, the wind began to die
ont about this time and Humboldt bar
was crossed in safety.

Mrs Wagner is in an extremely critf-

lerenced when she was made aware Of
Ihe fearful end of her two bows careers.
several physicians have been called to
attend her, but it is feared that her days
are numbered
All information coming from Utah is
Kept from the unhappy mother, and al
though she is always demanding to know
What IS going on, her demands are only
partially complied with. Her entire right
side is almost paralyzed and even should
she recover she will be wrecked physi-
caly. and ii is feared that she will never
regain her reason. which is at this time
shattered.
Mrs Wagner is now being supported
partly by the Supervisors and partly by
the elder of her two boys by her second
husband
For years Mrs. Wagner has not been
strong mentally. and after Abe's return
from Folsom the disappointment she ex-
perienced caused her TO relinquish all
hope for the future. and after becoming
possessed of this idea none of her friends
was able to offer her any consolation.
The fact that her son Abe was yester-
day convicted of murder with the death
penalty viii not be told Mrs. Wagner
tin she can stand it, which may be
never.

90S Broadway, May 13.
A sensational divorce suit was COM
menced in the Superior Court to-day by
Mrs. Isabella T. Laing for a separation
from Peter M Laing on the ground of
extreme cruelty. The parties were mar
ried in 1894 and reside at Elmhurst. They
have no children, ...- J
For about a week last month there ap-
reared in local paper the following no

cause PETER M. LANG.

The publication caused the tongues of
eossips to wag and is perhaps largely re-
snonsible for the bringing of the suit
since 1T is referred to in the complaint
as feature of the cruelty, Mrs. Laing
alleging that she had to leave the home.
Ii is understood that the name of a
sister of Mrs. Laing is mentioned under
very compromising circumstances in the
complaint 1t being stated that the nus
band was guilty Of improper relations"
with her The name of Nine. Jacques,
who has been wanted by the local author
flies for murder, is also said to be men
toned. The trial will prove most sensa-
tional and will probably be heard behind
closed doors.

ALBERT HORRIGER RETURNS
TO FACE HIS ACCUSERS
L. A. SoUC'S LATE PARTNER NOT
AN ABsCoNDER.

Albert Horriger, who was reported to
have absconded with $4,000 belonging to
the late real estate firm of L. A Souc &
Co., of which he was member, is back
in the city with blood in his eye. Mr.
Horriger not only denies that he took any
money belonging to the firm when he sud-
denly departed on the 18th of last month,
but declares that Souc knew he did not.
Mr.. Horriger arrived in San Francisco
on the overland train Friday night, COM
Ing direct from Columbus. Ohio.
Mr.. Souc's statement that he did not
know the firm was involved when 1 left
the city is false said Mr. Horriger yes
terday. He knew it long before. and the
night before l left the city / told him
we must raise couple Of thousand dol
lars at once to tide US over the crisis.
l urged him to apply to his relatives for
loan, and said l would also try to raise
some money among my friends. / had a
whom hoped to be able to borrow some
money, and when l left the office next
day told my clerk, Mr.. Wallace, I was
going to Spanishtown and that If / did
! would go farther. l failed to make the
loan and decided to go East and try to
raise the money in Columbus, my old
home. l was delayed in Chicago four
days by Illness and knew nothing of the
report that was an absconder until the
day after my arrival in Columbus. I i'm
mediately started back to San Francisco
to face my aCcuSers.
AZ am well aware that our affairs are
in bad shape, and have been for two
years. We were taking Peters money to
pay Paul. but business was picking up,
and we would have been all right in time.
1t is true we were between $4,000 and $4,000
short, but where the money went l can
not tell for the life of me. Souc could tell
a great deal more about that if he wanted
to. I borrowed $500 on my personal note
last March to help the firm out, and that
money l shall have to repay. l was in
business with Souc four years, and | did
not draw 5000 in any one year. paid my
board and other personal expenses out of
money / had laid away, and now | haven t
a dollar I do not know how much Souc
drew, but he had nothing when we began
business, and he has not stinted himself
since. / am willing to shoulder my share
of the blame for the tangle in our af-
fairs, but l do not propose to be made a
scapegoat for any one else, and / want to
be straight before the public"

Veteran .Firemen,

At the last held meeting of the Veteran
Volunteer Firemen's Association the fol-
lowing resolution was unanimously adopt
ed, to the end that there may be an un-
derstanding as to the existence of another
organization which has adopted the name
of Veteran Firemen
Whereas, There is an organization in
this city claiming to be veteran firemen,
emanating from the San Francisco paid
Fire Department and having been paid
for their services. we take this method of
Informing the public and old volunteer
firemen throughout the State of the differ
ence between the two organizations. One
was paid to save and the other (our as
unteered their services and whose motto
was, We strive to save.

WANT TO ORGANIZE
A BIG LABOR TRUST
AMBITIOUS SCHEME OF THE CO.
OPERATIVE BROTHERHOOD.

In these days of trusts when every in
dustry is watched closely by financiers
and promoters, it is difficult to find field
they have not entered. Such field has
been found however 1t is nothing more
nor less than a labor trust Some men,
viewing the rapid strides made in recent
years in the introduction of labor-saving
machinery, have arrived at the conclusion
that in another five years the present
army of unemployed, estimated at 5,000.O 900
people, will have increased many fold
Everything will be done by machinery
and there will be no call for men, they
claim.
The continuation of the system of ma
chine production is held to mean the con-
tinued existence of monopoly in some
form. The man who has only labor to
sell is at a greater disadvantage than at
any time since the world began To coun-
teract this tendency OF the times, it is
proposed to form big labor organization
to oppose the industrial organisation OF
the capitalists. The desire is said to be
to recover the tools of industry and use
them to control economic conditions.
The Cooperative Brotherhood was or
ganiZed in Seattle n year ago and has a
thriving colony or settlement twenty
miles from that city. James S. ingalls,
is president and national organizer He
is at present in this city, and addressed
a largely attended meeting in Pythian
Castle last night. It is the intention to
organize temple, as the lodges are des-
ignated, and Mr.. ingalls, promises to have
a California colony within year. The
objects of the lodge are given as follows:
To organize persons for the coop
erative production of wealth; to Sc
cure the equitable distribution thereof
among those producing it, thereby
dispensing with the wage system; to
provide for the collective ownership
Of the means of production and distri- .
button, and to make 1t possible for
those so organized to recognize In
practical way the brotherhood of hu-
manity.
Tt is intended to have a public meeting
shortly at Metropolitan Temple. when the

BOOM IN WOOL.


Boston, May 25. - The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter will say
today of the wool trade: 1.-The
strength and activity previously not
ed in the wool market has been well
sustained during the week under re-
view, and In some respects the move
ment partakes OF the characteristics
of veritable boom. 1t Is not tasyet,
however, a manufacturer market,
altho consumers have been little
more in evidence than previously.
The greater portion OF the business
done consists of purchases by dealers
themselves, altho as a rule, where
manufacturers have bought they
have been obliged to pay higher
prices, or they have not succeeded In
getting the wool. A number OF deal
ers are not Offering their wool and
are practically out of the market,
The advance in the price OF territory
wool in this market has resulted in
checking the export movement, and

Horse "Beef" Factory.

On June !, at Mcdora, where
Marquis de Mores made failure OF
his western beef slaughtering enter
prise, there will be begun the process
OF turning cayuses into beef" Ii
il said that at first the plant will
have capacity OF only 100 head Of
horses per day, but the management
il confident that the market will
soon require an enlargement Of the
plant, and that eventually there will
he several of the kind in the west. 1t
is claimed that there IL "A great de-
mand for horse meat In Europe and
the projectors depend largely upon a
! foreign market for their product, and
little attempt will be made to find a
market In the United States, but
rather wait until taste IL acquired
for horse meat. 1t IL stated that the
hides have been contracted for by a
Wisconsin tannery at $3.50 per hide.
The company expects To secure its
entire supply Of horses from North
Dakota and Montana and now has
several punches ON the trail to
Medora. This experiment, as such 1t
must be, will be watched with
interest. Medora Is long distance
from the consuming market, but 1t IL
more than likely that proprietors
expect to work off a great deal Of
the meat In the larger cities Of this
pcn.htry; a good deal as oleomar-
gerine is disposed OF as butter. In
any event it is hoped the enterprise
will prove a success as 1t may be the
means OF disposing Of class OF
horses left us as u legacy by the
Indians, which seem to have passed
their days OF usefulness on the range.
II the cayuse can be used to feed the
world, their raising may again prove
a profitable industry. May it be SO,
az they are better rustlers in the
winter time than steers.

There can be no mistaking the

Schley by the people OF the west.
Tho the trip was taken for well
deserved vacation, ii has been trans
formed into something of triumph
al procession. Between Washington
and Chicago innumerable delegations
invited the gallant admiral to stop
off to visit their respective towns,
while nearly every city, village and
hamlet along the Burlington Route
from Chicago to Denver requested the
pleasure Of entertaining him. The
only place where he made visit OF
any duration was at Omaha. There
he remained week, the guest OF

attention, the public and the private
receptions given in his honor being

Loan Companies Must Quit Business OF
Account of the Good Repub-
Iican Tines.

Great Falls. May 2O.-L. b. Bun
nell, one of the directors OF the Bun
nell-EnO Investment company, who
has been spending several days in
this city, states that his company is
preparing to withdraw from busi-
ness In Montana and turn over all Of
its holdings here and in Washington
to an English company. Hereafter
the company will operate almost eX-
clusively in Texas. In speaking OF
the move Mr.. Bunnell says that it is
actuated not from loss, but from a
prospect OF greater gain In Texas,
AMI because the larger part OF the
loans which the company made in
this state have been paid of. Dur
ing the panic and the succeeding
years they were Obliged to carry a
number of ranchers and stockmen,
but In the last two or three years the
loans have been paid off rapidly un.
til they now amount to so little that
the company is not justified in con,
tinuing in business here. AS a mat
ter of fact, the state is too prosper

an eastern loan company. Cascade

future and the future OF this city Mr.

from parties who attended we learn
that IL was "A one-sided affair, our
