HUSBAND LOOKING
FOR NEW WIFE

When Edwin H. Hammond of 2016
Broadway informed Mrs. Grace M.
Hammond that he had been looking
for another wife for long time and
was only tolerating her because his
search had not been successful, she
decided to end a career of much suffer-
ing and sued him for a divorce. The
first papers in her suit accusing him
of extreme cruelty were filed yes
terday. She. declares that last spring
he locked himself in a room for two
weeks and opposed her every time she
tried to enter, that later he proposed
to her that their relations change at
once and that she bring suit for di-
vorce against him on the ground of
desertion
Mrs. Hammond also charges that her
husband assaulted her at various times,
yelled In her ear so that her hearing
was injured, and recently told her
that he had no longer considered her
as his wife or even as his 'housekeeper
and hoped she would keep out of his
sight Mr.. and Mrs. Hammond were
married August Is. 1905. He is said
to be worth about $4,000. his prop
erty consisting OF 1880 In cash, real
estate and stocks.
Divorces were granted yesterday by
Judge Trout to Rosalie Scott from
William A Scott for infidelity, Lydia
E. West from Edwin W. West for de-
sertion and willful neglect, and Marie
S NJ Moore from Henry G. Moore for
intemperance. Judge Murasky granted
divorces to Minnie Raaen from L. j.
Raaen for neglect and Frances Thorn
ton Roe from Lindley Murray Roe for
failure to provide. Divorces were
granted by Judge Seawell to Blanche
Elizabeth Valera from Manuel VAL
leria for cruelty, and to Mary j. Ryan
from William J. Ryan for cruelty.

IN DEATH PERIL

LOS ANGELES, Dec 6.-Only the
timely arrival of rescue party at a
critical moment saved Mayor Owen Nc
Aleer from death by suffocation in
bed of quicksand in the Los Angeles
River yesterday afternoon. The Mayor
was buried to his armpits in the sand
and two horses he had driven were al
most submerged when he succeeded in
attracting attention by his shouts.
Two men who were on the bank pro-
cured ropes and after an hours effort
eXtricated the Mayor and the horses
The Mayor had driven his team into
the water for the purpose OF washing
his buggy and, being unfamiliar with
the locality, drove into bed of quick
sand His horses Immediately began
sinking and the Mayor leaped out into
the water. When he finally made him
self heard the sand was up to his arm
pits and only the heads and portions
of the backs of the horses were visible.
Two men on the bank heard the
shouts and one went for a rope, with
which they pulled the Mayor out. Then
the three united in pulling out the
horses and later the buggy

turning from the funeral of the late
P. Y. Chamberlain, the horses becoming
unmanag on the steep grade be-
tween the chapel Of the Oakland
crematory and Piedmont avenue.

mont avenue. however, they were
stopped and Mrs. Burckhalter and Mrs
Kelly were assisted from the wrecked
coupe They were hurried TO their
homes, where II was found that al

can Of red pepper and revolver. a

grave fears are entertained for her re-
covery.

arise early and open the dining-room
About 1870 o'clock this morning she
reached the lower floor, and the thug,
who had been in hiding beneath the
stairway, sprang upon her. dashing
red pepper in her eyes. He then hurled
her to the floor.
Strangling her screams for help, the
fellow took from her a purse con-
tanning $500 in gold and a gold watch.
and, after beating her into insensfbtl-
ity, fed to the railroad tracks and
