which Arthur l, Street is making for
his giant turtle, creature. which scien-
lists at the State University have de-
clared is 200 years old and entitled to a
place: in museum annals as a valuable
curio. The animal has disappeared and
cannot be found.
The turtle was captured in the midst
of the Nevada desert several months
ago by Street while he (Street) was
making the journey overland between
Los Angeles and Salt Lake City. Moth.
ing to support life was visible in the
desert, but the great turtle was in evil
dence and seemed to be at home. He
was brought to Berkeley. and given
quarters at the residence Of Mr.. Street s
father, 1917 ShattucE avenue. Professor
w, E. Ritter of the department of zool-
ogy examined the strange find made
by Street and pronounced 1t to be more
than 200 years old and rare specimen
Of an almost extinct species of animal
life. The professor could give no expla-

living in. the midst of desolation on a

disappeared, and to-day Street has
searched Berkeley through trying to get

HUSBAND WINS
DIVORCE SUIT
Ross Van Horn. Is Given
Decree but Is Made to
Pay Dearly. for Victory
Oakland ONCE: San Francisco Call,

1915 Broadway, Nov. 80.
Ross Van Horn, former principal of
the San Rafael schools. was granted
a divorce this evening by Judge. Og-
den from his wife. Marion Van Horn,
on account of her undue intimacy with
Adolph Knepf. student of the Uni
versity of California, who lives in San
Francisco. The case has been bit
terly fought and has been. on trial for
three weeks. Mrs. Van Horns
brother, Judge Bell of Seattle, with
Judge ]. ]. McCaffery of the same city
came down to defend his sister against
the charge, but in summing I'D the
evidence Judge Ogden stated that the
testimony was overwhelmingly against
her.
There was a painful scene in court
during the rendering of the decision
by Judge Ogden. Van Horn and his
wife were both there and heard the
words by which both were condemned.
Van Horn, according to the opinion of
the Judge, had not been the sympa-
thetic husband of his wife that he
should have been. She, Judge Ogden
believed, had been led away by the
sympathy and Establishments of
Knopf, who came in for a griIling at
the hands of the Judge for having
stayed in the house when Van Horn
had protested against his being there.
There are two children, a boy and
a girl. Marion, the girl, was given
into the custody of the mother, while
the boy, Willis, was given to the
father. Mrs. Van Horn was given the
household furniture at her home at
2222 Bancroft way. and Van Horn was
also made to pay nearly $4OO in coun-
sci fees and costs for his wife's attor-
neys, besides the fees of his own at
torneys. James A. Johnson and George
