Frank G.. Rush, who arrived in this
city from Chicago about two months
ago to accept clerkship IN the Pleas
anton Hotel, has disappeared and his
friends have solicited the assistance of
the authorities in locating him. Rush
worked at the Pleasanton about one
month after his arrival. At the end
of that time he had some disagreement
with the management and left the po-
sition. He was stopping with his aged
mother, whom he had brought from
Chicago, at Pine and Hyde streets, and
on the morning of May II bade her
good-by for the day. Mrs. Rush is at
a loss to account for her sons disap-

MAN AND BEAST
FIGHT BATTLE
Police Corporal P. McGee En-
cages in on Arm to Leg
Struggle With Big Coyote
ANIMAL is ENORMOUS
Fierce Encounter Results
in Manning Of Officer
and the Death of Animal

The coyote, the coward of beasts,
usually more willing to run than fight,
fought a desperate battle with man
on hills Of Point Reyes few days ago.
As result Corporal P. McGee Of the
Central police station bears an ugly
scar on one side of his face and head,
the marks of the coyotes teeth.
MCGEE was at Point Reyes on va
cation. With Marin County's Deputy
Sheriff, Thomas Irving, and George W.
Phelan, MCGEE started a half-dozen
hounds on coyote hunt. Finally one
of the foremost CANNES caught the
scent of the desert scavenger."
MCGEE took a short cut to head off
the gray-haired beast, and remarked
to his friends that he would catch the
coyote in his arms He was standing
on the brink of a bluff Suddenly the
hunter felt something strike him on the
left side He clutched the object, lost
his balance and fell to the bottom of
the cliff, clutching a great shaggy coy
ote. MCGEE fought to disentangle him
self from the unwelcome affinity. The
coyote Dlt, cid"eu anu iOuShI viii
great viciousness. The animal cut
cash four inches long in the face and
head of the unfortunate hunter and
made its escape. MCGEE, though
wounded, seized his rifle and shot the
coyote before it got away. The dead
animal was pronounced one of the big
gest ever seen in Marin County. 1t was
as large as a great st. Bernard and
had tusks two and a half inches long.
McGee was taken into Point Reyes
station and his wounds were dressed.
The injured corporal is now the hero
of the Central station. being the only
man there with the record of a wild
beast fighter.

when the convention met at 10 o'clock
this morning, and the Yates and De

Then the parties 10 the combination

the candidate. When the convention
reconvened Yates, Hamlin and Sher-
man withdrew their names from the
consideration OF the delegates, and
urged their friends TO vote for Deneen.
When the seventy-ninth rollcall was
ordered and Adams County led of with
"one vote for Yates and nineteen for
Deneen' the widest excitement pre-
vailed. As the call proceeded it became
evident that the new combination
would win, but the original Lowden
men for the most part remained firm
and went to defeat with him. When the
call was completed Lowden moved to
make the nomination unanimous, and
Chairman Cannon declared the motion
carried. All Of the pent-up enthusiasm
of the delegates manifested itself as
Deneen came to the platform and
briefly thanked the convention for the
honor. In response to the demands Of
the assemblage Colonel Lowden made
an address, pledging his support to the
ticket.
The convention then took up the nom
ination Of a candidate for Lieutenant
Governor, but the leaders of the new
combination were not prepared for this,
and a recess was taken until .. m.

neen met at the executive mansion and

AND A FORTUNE
Wife of Coffee Merchant Sc
cures Decree, $12,500 in
Cash and Valuable Realty
REED DOES NOT APPEAR
Division of Property Re-
suit of Woman's Agree
ment to Waive Alimony
REED DOES NOT APPEAR

George w. Reed, a well-known and
wealthy coffee merchant, is minus a
wife. $12.5OO in cash and four valuable
pieces of realty on Washington and
jackson streets, between Locust and
Spruce, as the result of a suit for a di-
vorce filed against him by Nellie Reed
Her suit was heard yesterday by
Judge Trout and at the close OF the
hearing the court signed a decree Civ
ing her a divorce on the ground of de-
sertion and also affixed his signature
to findings containing a stipulation
signed by Reed in which he agreed to
give Mrs. Reed 1850 in cash and four
pieces of realty provided she would
waive all other claims she might have
against him for alimony and counsel
fees.
Reed was not present in court,
though he had answered his wifes suit
with a general denial of her charge of
desertion. He was represented. how
ever, by Attorney A. Ruef, while
Colonel Kowalsky appeared on behalf
of the plaintiff
Mrs. Reeds complaint charged that
Reed deserted her in the latter part OF
1902 They were married in this city in
May, 1894. No children were born to
them.
The suit for divorce of Jennie Clyde
Harner against w. 3. Harner, a rail-
road official, has brought forth an an
swer and cross complaint from her
spouse. Earner denies specifically all
her charges of cruelty. He says he did
not poison her dog, as she claims, but
admits that he did say to her that if
she showed him one fraction of the at
tention she showered upon the canine
he would be a much happier man.
Harner says he wanted to get rid of
the animal, and once suggested to his
wife that she send it to hospital or
a sanitarium agreeing at the same
time to pay for its keep there. He says
she refused to comply with his wishes
and persisted in having the pet always
about her, and allowed it to run about
the house and damage the furniture
Harner also complains of his wife's
temper He says she loses it without
provocation and that on more than one
occasion she has attacked him. Once,
he says, in order that he might not be
scratched and clawed beyond recogni-
tion by her he had to take her and
hold her on lounge until she got over
the paroxysm. He also says that he
was greatly humiliated by Mrs. Harner
