NEARLY $4,000
Compromise Effected and the Deeds to
the Property Recorded-A Story Of
Plighted Troth.

OAKLAND, September Mrs. Julia
a. Calhoun has won every point in her
suit against Frederick A. Wundenberg
for breach of promise, and the deeds to
the property in dispute have been
placed upon record in this county. The
millionaire Hawaiian sugar planter has
compromised the suit brought by the
lady and a settlement in full has been
made. The lady receives the property
at GAL Hilbert street, the house and FUR
niture and substantial cash payment
which, while not the full amount of $780,
900 sued for, very nearly approaches
that sum.
The suit was brought on March l, 1900
and has been pending ever since. Just
as the suit was brought Wundenberg
left California for the Hawaiian Islands
and this caused delay. The case is still
pending upon some demurrers filed
by Wundenberg to the service of
the summons by publication, but the
dismissal is ready to be filed, and the
deeds in the compromise are already OF
record.
Frederick A. wundenberg is a very
wealthy Hawaiian sugar planter. The
plaintiff is Mrs. Julia A. Calhoun, the
widow of the late DR.. j. G. Calhoun of
willows Mrs Calhoun is a handsome
woman and is possessed of a consider
able estate left by her husband, so that
Wundenberg
The sugar planter and the widow first
met several years ago, and the Hawai-
ian became much interested. He repeat
eddy proposed, but he was refused as
often as he offered his hand, his heart
and his sugar stocks. AT last the Ha-
waiian became very insistent. He went
to the Hawaiian Islands, where his Sis
ters live, and sent for Mrs. Calhoun to
lNric (11hAl111
ded that she would make the trip. She
went to Honolulu and stayed at the
Royal Hawaiian Hotel FOR a month,
during which time she visited the fam
lily of Wundenberg, and was received
into the best society in the islands. 1t
was during this trip thatWundenberg
proposed that they get married in Ho-
nolulu. To this Mrs. Calhoun denurred
upon the ground chat his family might
think that she had followed him to Ho-
nolulu in order to marry him. Wun-
denberg pleaded that he was compelled
to go to Australia, ami that he wanted
the ceremony performed before he went,
but Mrs. Calhoun replied that she would
consider the matter upon her and his
return to San Francisco. So he went
to Australia and she came back to San
Francisco.
Wudenberg later proposed that they
marry and settle down in Oakland. He
agreed to settle upon her a house and
lot $25, 900 in sugar stock and other pro-
perty. She selected the house and lot,
which was purchased for $4,000 and
furnished. Wundenberg ordered his
agent to put the property in her name,
but it was put in his name, though she
went to live there. Wundenberg was
at this time in the Hawaiian Islands.
Then Mrs. Calhoun noticed that there
came a change in his letters, and at
last they stopped altogether Then the
agents and attorneys began trying TO
dispossess her, and the suit for the pro-
perty and the breach of promise action
resulted.
Then Wundenberg began negotiations
for a compromise with the result noted.
Mrs. Calhoun believes that it was Mr..
Wundenberg's family that caused the
