The attorney then took up the subject
of the payment made by Herman Ep-
pinger Jr. upon his debt of $4,000.
Did you take those lands in San Luis
Obispo County in full payment of the
debt which Herman Eppinger Jr. owed
to your firm?''
Yes
IF you yourself appraised those lands,
what did you find them to be worth?'
About $41,OOO"
'The firm of Eppinger & Co. was not
interested in those lands before the trans
fer was made?"
NO
''You did not know at the time that
those lands had been sold in 1896, when
they were supposed to belong to Ep-
pinger & Co., to pay for delinquent
taxes?"
mo. Eppinger had told us that there
was some slight litigtion over back taxes,
but that it was not sufficient to cloud the
title''
Ettlinger was then questioned about the
relations between the Pacific Coast Ware
house Company and his own firm He
SAID that the former concern belonged to
Eppinger & Co. He said that as vice
president of his firm he signed all ware
house receipts after they had received the
signature of the secretary, but that he
kept no record of such receipts and did
not know where the stub book from which
they were taken was. He professed ig-
norance as to the whereabouts of the
warehouse book, as well as the receipt
book. Ettlinger also stated that no meet
ing or election of officers of, the Pacific
Coast Warehouse Company had been held
since the inception of the concern in 1890.

RETURNING TO THIBET.

Yet this brave woman, with all these
terrible experiences still fresh in her
mind, is now bent on a mission to the
same country, whittier she goes with the
view of remaining many years, teaching
the gospel and giving medical aid to the
needy among those who not long ago
showed their hostility toward her. In
speaking of the long journey be-
fore her Mrs. Rijnhart said yes
terday that she expects to re-
main several months in Central China
and will then proceed on to Ia Chen
Lu. There she will at once set about the
establishing of a hospital and an indus
trial school, work in which she will
be assisted by DR.. and Mrs. Shelton, who
like herself, are laboring for the Chris
tian church.
Concerning Thibet, she said:
1t is the only country in the world that is
not open to the gospel. Naturally It is the
last to encourage commercial relations with
the outside world. but 1 believe it will be
opened soon- congress is now in session at
Simla with that purpose in view The future
access of the outside world to Thibet depends
greatly the political conditions in China
which, indications suggest, are slowly chang
ing.

years experiences as a mission
ary among the widest of the Thibetan
tribes, to whose country she is now re-
turning, is a guest at the Occidental
Hotel, where she is quietly awaiting the
departure Of the China steamer on Sep
tember g. Although she once narrowly
escaped death at the hands of the super
stitious savages who murdered her hus-
band, Mrs. Rijnhart purposes to invade
again the territory which recalls to her
mind many trying and frightful hard
ships. She goes on a religious mission
Accompanying the brave woman are DR..
and Mrs. A. L. Shelton of Anthony,
Kans.. who will cooperate with her in a
plan to establish a hospital and found
an industrial school near Ia Chen Lu,
which is situated on the extreme Eastern
border of Thibet Ia Chen Lu is a trading
place into which the Thibetans journey
at different times of the year from the
farthermost Businesses of their country,
and mainly for this reason Mrs. Rijnhart
desires to begin her missionary work
there. planning eventually to push farther
into the wild interior.

AT THE SACRED LAMASERY.

In 1894 Mrs. Rijnhart and her husband
a Hollander, who had previously been do
ing missionary work in the Lama district
of Thibet, journeyed after their marriage
in Ontario back to Thibet, where they
labored religiously for four years, during
which the sad experiences of Mrs. Rim
hart which included the loss of a babe
and the death of her husband, were en-
countered and eventually furnished the
material for a book which she wrote un-
der the title of with the Thibetans in
Tent and Temple" While stationed at
Lasar. near the lamasery of Kumbum,
Rijnhart and his wife. who were both
skilled in medicine, were warmly well
coined by the Buddhist priests; in fact,
they enjoyed the special distinction Of be-
ing the first and only white persons ever
received within the sacred lamasery,
where they were given shelter during the
Chinese -MosIem troubles. With these
troubles began the worst of the hardships
endured so bravely by Mrs. Rijnhart. Pre-
vious MOsleTn uprisings had resulted in
fearful slaughter, and it was thought by
the people there that a recurrence of the
troubles was impossible. Suddenly, how
ever. another outbreak occurred and a
frightful massacre ensued. resulting, so it
was estimated, in the death of 100000 per-
sons. and continued until the arrival of
the Chinese general, who finally quelled
the disturbance and restored peace.
SUCCoRED THE WOUNDED.
In the midst Of these terrible scenes
Rijnhart and his wife worked unremit-
tingly in the towns, temporary hospitals
and in the camps and on the field admin
istering in their medical as well as their
missionary capacity to the wounded and
dying. All this time the couple endeav-
ored to maintain the schools and churches
they had established after many difficult
ties, and received much support from the
better element of the tribesmen who
seemingly keenly appreciated the self
denying efforts of the two white visitors.
Toward the close of the third year Rim
hart and his wife, after providing them
selves with food and other necessities for
a long journey, left Kumbum and Tankar
with plans fully prepared for a trip
through the valley of the Tsaidam which
extends a distance of 600 miles and is a
difficult country to penetrate. On this

HER HUSBAND MURDERED.

Their guides, who were untrustworthy
and plotting robbery, murder or other
crimes, caused the Rijnharts constant
anxiety and finally this feeling on the
part Of the wife was fully justified when
her husband. after the guide had cruelty
abandoned him. left her, saying he
wanted to reconnoiter a hill, but he never
returned.
That the guide had carried out a plot
to murder her husband Mrs Rijnhart has
every reason for believing.
Left alone in a strange country, inhab-
tied by treacherous people, the heart
broken woman accomplished something
that few of her sex would have dared
undertake. A wearisome journey of sew
eral hundred miles still lay before her,
and upon this she embarked with the de-
termination of one who realized that hes
itancy meant quicker death than a con-
tinuance of the trip. She walked on an
average of twenty-five miles a day, un-
guided by men, who, however, she fire.
quently saw, but carefully avoided.
Mrs. Rijnhart's story of her travels
with blistered feet through densely
wooded forests and over stony mountain
passes where her barred feet were cut
and bruised; crossing streams in all kinds
Of weather; for weeks sleeping in the
open where her only shelter was a bright
Thibetan sky; where she was a prey to
rapacious and immoral natives, and the
object of attack from dogs and other AMI
mails, is a narrowing one
PREY TO MAN AND BEAST.
OF these trying times Mrs. Rijnhart
says:
1t would be hard for me to make a very fine
distinction between the many frightfu Incl
dents which 1 passed through. One of the
worst perhaps, was the time I slept alone on
the ground in a wild part of Thibet and had
seventeen ferocious dogs bowling about me
all night and endeavoring to get their fangs
IN my flesh. l am afraid of a dog anywhere
but these Thibetan dogs the worst kind pos
sible. They are half-starved mongrels and are
kept chained most of the time near the tents
OF the sheepherders. l happened at this time
to be travelling without guide, but had nv
passport 1t was near midnight when I
reached a sheep camp, and, upon my request
conducted to a spot some distance from the

possible with my blankets and was Just sink
ing into doze when l heard the awful howl
Of the dogs as they bore down upon me. 1

ing away all thought Of sleep even had l been
so composed as to have made this possible

lection for my feet but my worn Thibetan boots

SALVAT|ONISTS
SING THEIR JOY
Consecrate New Home
With Fervent Prayer
and Hallelujahs.

With volleys Of hallelujahs and songs
of JOY and praise the Salvation Army
took possession last night of their new
Congress Hall and provincial headquar-
ters, 1271 Mission street. The building un-
til recently was devoted to the sacred ser
vices Of the Swedish Lutheran Church.
The army took leave Of it's old head
quarters 1889 Market street, during the
early part of the evening and then with
its band leading marched to the new
quarters, where saving work is to be
done and where the lost and weary may
find consOla ton and assistance.
NO SET CEREMONY.
The ''house warming" and dedicatory
exercises were without any particular or
set ceremony. In the absence of Colonel
French, whose arduous duties have been
such as to have compelled a retirement
for a few weeks from active service in or
der that he may regain his strength, Mrs.
Colonel French conducted the exercises
with the assistance of BrigadIer Wood,
general secretary of the army on the Pa
cific coast: Staff Captain Boyden, one of
the first Salvationists to settle on the
coast; Major Finn and Mrs. Finn, Staff
Captain Day and Adjutant General Mont
gomery.
Mrs. French in asking praise for their
latest achievement in being able to pro-
cure the sacred edifice for their new
home, touchingly reviewed the methods
of the army. Those of the public, she
said, who were unfamiliar with their
work must not judge them by their
trumpet sounds or by the shaking Of their
tambourines, or the beating Of their
drums, but would find their work at the
bedside of the dying, softening the pillow
of the sick and offering the hand of help
to the forlorn, the friendless and whoever
sought salvation, for as best they could
they showed the wanderer the way OF
light from the darkened path.

man was crook. Mr.. Braman kept close
tabs on him.
Finally the fellow sneaked away from

gone to the dressing room Mr.. Braman
armed himself and went upstairs.
His surmise proved to be well-founded,
for the stranger had forced open sew

breaking the fastening OF another when
Mr.. Braman put after him.
The chase and struggle were brief and
when all was over the plucky steward
had twisters upon the thief and was
searching the fellows pockets.
There was found a gold watch, several
rings, pocket knives. punches OF keys
and s6 in cash.
Mr.. Braman took the man to the East

him to the officer in charge.
The fellow refused at first to talk. but
later he gave his name and address as
above noted.
