HUNKER' ACTS
DISPLEASE HER
Mrs. Christine Carroll. the
MilliOnaire's Cousin, Says
He Is Very Ungrateful

Berkeley Office San Francisco Call.
PAS Center street. April 13.
Now Mrs. Christine Carroll prances
into the limelight and gives the world
a piece of her mind concerning one
Andrew Hunker, discoverer of Hunker
Creek in the Klondike, who is esti-
mated to be a millionaire many times
over In her eyes the millionaire is
the picture Of ingratitude and selfish
ness. She promises that there will
be trouble when she gets her breath
and sticks her talons of the law into
his hide.
Mrs. Carroll is the woman Hunker
elected from the home he built for her
at 242S Bancroft way at a cost OF
$4,000. She said the house was an
engagement gift and he denied this.
The court took his side and sent two
deputy sheriffs TO Berkeley to take
care of the case. When the deputies
got into the house they found that
Mrs. Carroll had been there before
them and taken all the movable furni-
ture in the place.
Hunker spoke his mind about this
proceeding and now it is Mrs. Carrolrs
turn. She came to Berkeley to-day
to hunt up mouthpieces. She was
quite agitated over it all and once or
twice was moved to tears. This is her
side Of the story:
Hunker has treated cruelty and hu-
inflated me. His denial that / am his cousin
shows what kind OF a man he is 1 met him
in san Francisco and told him my maiden
name was Hunker and traced the rela-
tionship. II was satisfactory 10 him.
On TIE strength OF our kinship he loaned me
$4,000 10 build a house. l was to build il
and then lease IL from him at a nominal figure
1t understood that / was to pay the taxes.
But after the house had been built and l had
moved in he began TO change toward me. A
week ago he dragged me over TO his attorney
and made me sign lease for ten years at the
rate OF $40 a month.
Even that would have been satisfactory but
ne kept the lease. AS he had the upper hand
I could do nothing. I asked him why he had
become Indifferent toward me and he said
I have nothing TO say TO you" Finally he
sued out a writ OF restitution for the house
and. II course defeated me in the courts.
Now / out in the world without a dollar
AL / have Is my little son. whom Hunkel
promised t. support and educate But / have
other resources. and when / appeal TO the Law
again ] tnink there Will be different story
70 tell. l think I win get the best Of him yet
Hunker is still guarding his castle
on Bancroft way fearing that Mrs
Carroll may turn up at any time. and
make another successful storming
