signed and filed an agreement to separ-
ate and divide their worldly belongings
They were recently married, both
having been married before. Mrs.

she is said to be the cause of conten-
ton in the family. The Upland home,
under the agreement, is taken by Chat

Mrs. Chaffee.
Fausti Mazzoli and wife, who were
nearly killed several months ago by
Santa Fe train near Arlington, have
commenced action for $4,000 damages
against the railroad. Mazzoli and wife
and daughter were severely injured. and

Mrs. Wozencraft having recently died,
City Attorney Ralph u. Swing is the
new owner. The homestead occupies
a portion of the old site of the Nor
mon fort of early days and there are
some of the foundation walls of the
old fort buildings still standing on
the property. For many years the
home was the center of social life in
San Bernardino, being the home of the
late Senator w. A. Conn. Previous to
this exchange, the property had not
changed hands for more than fifty
years.

Her Back Home
Special to The Herald
RIVERSIDE, Oct. 27.-Word has
reached here OF an elopement that be-
gan at Hemet in this county, weakened
at Perris and came to an inglorious
end at Ethanac.
Charles Schilling of San Jaciento and
Miss Carrie Antrum were the couple
who dared oppose stern parental rule.
The young woman is put II and is a
pupil of the Hemet high school. She
went to Hemet with her mother,
leaving her father at the ranch at
Ethanac.
Miss Antrum and Schilling met and
reciprocity of affection resulted. But
Mrs. Antrum was not moving away
from home to give her daughter les
sons in Cupid's arts and promptly is
sued a pronunciamento directed to-
wards Schillmg, forbtdding him pur-
suing the courtship.
Love found a way yesterday. The
high school did not see Carrie in the
afternoon. Instead, she and the man
of her choice set out for Riverside in a
buggy. They were heading for the
county clerk and a preacher. But IL
appears that the further away the
girl proceeded from home, the less en-
thusiastic she became and when Per-
ris was reached she was ready to call
the escapade off.
Miss Antrum induced Schilling to
take her back to Ethauac, where she
sought and obtained forgiveness in the
parental arms, while Schilling drove
homeward. County Clerk Phelps had
been notified by the father not to
issue a license before the couple was
located, but the warning was not
