literary world after his return from
the Klondike, where he wrote The Son
Of the Wolf" Following that excursion
into a new field came Children of the
Frost" Daughter of the Shows"

The Londons married on April Z.
1900. Mrs. London was Elizabeth Mad
dern, the daughter of Mrs. Melissa
Maddern of this city, and a cousin of
Minnie Madden Fiske, the actress.
Mrs. London has a reputation as

brought her and London together.

Mont Rio Society Shocked
at a Scandal That May
End in the State Prison
POPULAR IDOL CAUGHT
After Breaking Scores of
Hearts Gay c. FL. Carleton
Is Arrested by Sleuths

Fashionable people at Mont Rio
camping grounds on the Sonoma coast
were shocked and grieved when Post
office Inspector James O'Connell and
| Deputy United States Marshal r. de
Lancie arrived last Monday night and
took into their rude hands the idol Of
the camp, handsome G. H. Carleton,
alias c. c. Lawrence, alias Elmer r.
Chase alias Joseph B. Kaufman. The
gilded youth with many aliases is
wanted by the Federal authorities in
Cleveland, Ohio, for using the mails
for the purpose of defrauding the
gullible portion of the public with a
fraudulent banking and brokerage
scheme.
Carleton was a great favorite with
impressionable and unsophisticated
young women wherever he went At
Mont Rio, it is said, he moved down
the girls by the Cozen. The prisoner
declined to speak of the charges
against him and threatened to fight
the removal proceedings, which will be
begun in the Federal courts within
few days. His bail was fixed by
OHlleu states commissioner Mdnley
at $4,000, in default of which Carleton
was lodged in the City Prison. He said
he had $500 with him. but that $1,000
was beyong his reach.
The name under which the prisoner
and his confederates operated was
&c. c. Lawrence & Co, bankers and
brokers, Schofied building. Cleveland,
Ohio" Connected with him were
Charles Carrao, alias C. A Flanders,
and George Harris, alias G. G. Ed
wards. These two fled, but were ar
rested by postoffice inspectors in Balti-
more, Md, and placed in Jail at Cleve-
land, Ohio. The complaint charges the
prisoners with having secured from five
or six victims $500 through false and
fraudulent representations made
through the mails.
Two weeks ago Inspector O'Connell
trailed Carleton from Kansas City to
Los Angeles. Before O'Connell reached
that city Carleton had come to San
Francisco and roomed on Post street.
Then he went to Duncan Mills and
later to Mont Rio, where there are

Wife Denies Husbands Testimony In
Reference to Paying Teller Brown.
| George W. Hislop and his wife
Louisa disagreed yesterday upon some
very material points in the trial of
her suit for divorce before Judge
Sloss. The taking of evidence was
finished. and it only remains for the
arguments to be heard.
Hislop was on the stand in the
morning and during part of the af-
ternoon. He denied all of her charges
of infdelity and claimed that his wife
had deserted him. He admitted that
hef had met Violette Griswold in the
north and had met her mother. but
declared that nothing improper had
occurred. Explaining the incident
of taking her to the Raleigh Hotel.
he said that he had been asked to
recommend a place by Griswold and
had gone there with Mrs Griswold
and engaged rooms. while Griswold
looked after the baggage. Griswold
came a few minutes later and Hislop
left.
He was questioned upon various
points of the letter he had written
his wife regarding the Griswold
woman and said that he had written
as he did to arouse his wife's jeal-
ousy in order to make her get rid
of Brown" This reference was to
Henry A. Brown, paying teller of
Wells-Fargo Bank, whom Hislop is
suing for $4,000 damages for alien
ating Mrs. HisloD's affections
Hislop said that he had spoken to his
wife about being careful of her repu-
tation with Brown. and had told her
that the banker was notorious for his
pursuit of the fair sex and had re-
ceived a charge of buckshot from an
rate husband in NaDa
When Mrs Hislop was called in re-
buttal she denied that her husband
had ever spoken to her about being
careful of her reputation with Brown
or had mentioned the startling Incl
dent referred to. On the contrary
she said that Hislop invited Brown to
the house when she had expressed a
preference to be alone with her hus-
band.
Mrs. HisloD declared that her hus-
band sent a friend named Lang to
her with a proposition for reconcilia-
Stion and she had told him that it was
useless-that her husband had been
untrue too often. When she cited
circumstances to Lang the latter is
alleged to have said that he would
never ask her to go back to Hlslop
and that no decent man on the road
had any respect for him. She said
that Hislop admitted having given
Violette $50 and she reproached him
for ii. saying it was needed at home.

WOMAN IN THE CASE.

known.
WOMAN IN THE CASE.
Mrs. Hanford's complaint is novel
in the manner in which it gives Sc
quence of dates and events, and hints
delicately at matters which are ordi-
narily told in bolder language. The
woman named in the case is Mrs. Ga
briel CaValsky, who, it is said, has left
her husband and gone to live with her
mother.
The complaint ayers that the Han
fords were married here on May 19, 1896,
and that there are no children. The hus
bands cruelty is alleged to have begun
on May 4 last. On that day they were
visiting the Hotel Del Monte and Han
ford introduced his wife to Gabriel Ca
valsky as "a girl she could play golf
with"
That was the beginning. On May
Is, she says, they were upstairs in their
home at 2207 Clay street, when the hus-
band became greatly agitated and
wept" He said that he had lost his
nerve. His wife's frequent persua sion
failed to win confession as to what
his trouble was His distress continued
trouble, as he had more money than
he knew what to do with" On the 18th
he admitted that it was a woman and
that she was Gabriel Cavalsky, whom
he had met at Del Monte and who was
married and was then living with her
husband.
The wife then reminded the husband
that he was suffering from an incurable
disease from which he might be para
lyzed and asked if Mrs. Cavalsky knew
of it. He said no and asked if Mrs.
Cavalsky might not visit him at the
home in order that she might be told
Thinking that this information might
serve to separate them the wife con-
sentsd, and accordi,sg to the complaint.
herself called Mrs. Cavalsky up by
phone at her home, the Hart House, on
Ellis street. AT that time Mr.. Han
ford was i'll in bed. After Mrs. Han
ford got her rival on the wire Hanford
got up and talked to her and asked her
to come TO his house.
THE RIVALS MEET AGAIN.
She came at 3 o'clock and Mrs Han
ford Immediately told her that her hus-
band had confessed "all of the horrible
affair" Then Mrs. Hanford left the
room. She returned to her bedroom an
hour later and In going to her dresser
passed the open door of her husbands
room. Looking in she saw Mrs Caval-
sky leaning over him. with her arms
around his neck and her face against
his. Emphasizing the agony of this
sight, Mrs. Hanford says that she i'm
mediately left the house and did not
return until 10:30, after she had learned
by telephone that Mrs. Cavalsky had
left
Mrs. Hanford says she asked her
husband what he had talked about to
the woman and he replied, what peo-
pie talk about who love each other"
Then it is alleged that Hanford told
the plaintiff that "the grand passion
only comes to a man once and that it
had come to him, making it necessary
he should stay with Mrs. Cavalsky"
He asked his wife, she says, to get a
divorce so that he could marry the
woman. This she refused to do. Then
he said he would go down town and
live alone and send Mrs. Cavalsky away
for four months and pey her expenses. |
If at the end of that time he thought
as much of her as she did of him he
would get a divorce and marry her. |
On June IA he announced that his af-
fections were unchanged And now the
wife sues for the divorce.

Handy Irrisatine Devices.

There are several better ways to
turn water from a ditch than the
crude way of cutting in the side
with a spade and throwing the dirt
into the ditch to make a dam. The
cloth dam is all excellent device
and could be more generally used
as its construction and use is very
simple 1t consists of rectangular
piece of stout, closely woven cloth
or canvas, one side Of which is
rolled around and nailed to a
crcsspiece of wood of length and
strength according to the size of the
ditch and the amount of water to
be damned. Sometimes it is made
with hem across one side deep
enough to allow the crosspiece 10
be thrust through the hem.
In using the dam, place the stick
across the top of the dry ditch
where it is desired to throw the
water out. Draw the lower edge
of the cloth up the bottom of the
ditch and place little dirt Oh the
corners. The canvas must always
be large enough to have several
inches lap against the sides ofYthe
ditch. as otherwise it will not retain
all the water. Should the ditch
have steep grade it will be neces-
sary to let the canvas fill up
gradually, as sudden rush of water
would force the cloth from its posi-
ton. When the dam is in position
it will be necessary to cut the bank
of the ditch at the places where the
water is wanted Two cloth dams
will be necessary in order to place
one in position while the other
throws the water out above, it being
difficult to lay the canvas under a
full head. The water will press
the canvas against the sides and
bottom of the ditch, SO that none
can escape. To remove the cloth,
take hold of one end of the scant-
ling and pull slowly up stream.
A metal dam or tappoon is on
some accounts preferable to the
cloth and is readily made. Heavy
sheet iron is cut into semi-circular
shape and the straight edge IS
securely fastened between two
narrow strips OF wood by carriage
bolts which pass through the strips
