light in n Dummy Package. Too.
SAN Francisco, Nov. 16.-The missing
package Of 81 ,Os5. so sent by the citizens OF
Searchlight, New, 10 Mayor Schmitz three
days after the fire and which disappeared
somewhere between Los Angeles and the
relief committees headquarters in San
Francisco turned up to-day, but in such
questionable form that il increases instead
Of clearing up the mystery that surrounded
it. Tn package was made up to resemble
the original package. but instead OF the
Los Angeles seal il bore the seal Of the San
Francisco Office OF the express company.
II was delivered to Chairman Phelan's,
secretary at relief headquarters. When the
wrapper W as removed the package was
found to contain various bills and half
dollars in silver. making up the amount
which Editor Perkins of Selrchlight for
werded from Los Angeles over six months
ago. When Manager Christensen Of the
Wells-FaTgo company was asked about the
package he showed much irritation and
at first refused to discuss the matter, but
finally said :
Tho express company does not admit
that any carelessness or dishonesty of
employees resulted in the loss Of the pack
age, b { il wishes to clear up its record and
for this reason il had this package made up
AS nearly like the original package as pos
sible and delivered it 80 as TO get n receipt.
We could have drawn a check for the amount.
but the Eeceipt for this would not have
been "a receipt for the package"
The public is inclined TO believe that there
was something crooked in the disappear
ance of the money and hat the Wells Fargo
company has been induced Ia assist in
shielding the person who appropriated the
currency. Certainly the making up Of a
dummy package six months after the orig
inal disappeared is something unprecedented
in express history.

Small Grafters In San Francisco Are Orer-
ing TO Tell to Save Themselves.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16.-The Grand Jury
spent several hours to-day in probing various
phases Of the municipal scandal. A mass
Of evidence was taken, but so far as is known
no further indictments were found. II is
reported on good authority hat a decision
was reached in the case of certain persons,
but final action was deferred until Tues
day. when the Grand Jury will resume its
sessions.
The most important fact that Leaked out
concerning to-day's work is that convincing
evidence was found that Supervisor Nicholas
was h recipient Of pay in connection with
certain purchases made for the city. He
was the chairman Of the building COMMITTEE.
and to him fell the task of fitting UP various
offices for the city after the fire. The book
keeper Of a we'll known furniture firm went
before the Grand Jury to-day, taking with
him the books Of the firm.
He showed that Nicholas had bought
furniture amounting TO 1897 to be used in
furnishing one OF the temporary Offices.
The ~bookkeeper says that Nicholas de-
manded and was paid 10 per cent. OF the
amount for awarding the contract to the
firm. The books show an item Of $50 paid
to Nicholas.
The Grand Jury summoned Eddie Graney,
James Cofroth and other persons interested
in the notorious music hall Belvedere, which
fourished before the fire. for the purpose of
investigating the report that Ruef secured
a quarter interest in the company without
the payment OF a cent. Before this part OF
the inquiry was reached an adjournment
was taken until Tuesday.
The Indictment OF Ruef and Schmitz has
caused a panic among g~rafters of lees I'M
portance. As was predicted evidence comes
more easily than it did when the inquiry
first began. Little fellows. in hope that
they may secure immunity. are now ready
to appear and tell their stories.

She Is for suing. says Sergeant.
John W. Wilson. a police sergeant. has
begun a suit for divorce in the Supreme
Court which seems likely TO lead into various
complications. The facts were disclosed
yesterday on an application by counsel
for the wife for alimony and counsel fee
pending the trial OF the suit.
Wilson's lawyer opposed the motion for
alimony on the ground that the defendant
was no longer Wilson's wife, n that
therefore she was not ent tiled to allmony.
Justice Downing asked for-an explanation
and he was told that the sergeant's wife
had obtained a divorce in New jersey and
had remarked. II is on the strength of the
second marriage that Wilson seeks a
divorce.
We'll. said Justice Bowling, you can't
very well sue her for a divorce and then
deny that she's your wife on her opplica-
ton for alimony."t

DANISH INVENTOR on TRIAL.
Acquitted Of Assault Charge Made ny Rival
Bottle stopper Claimant.

Bottle stopper Claimant.
George Kirkegaard, an electrical inventor.
who lives at 1913 Lenox road, Brooklyn,
and who was created a knight Of Danne-
brog by the King Of Denmark last month
for his contributions to science. was &C.
quilted Of a charge of simple assault in the
Court OF Special Sessions yesterday.
The complainant was Gustave Koch,
also an inventor, who lives at 1 West nth
street. He and Mr.. Kirkegaard had some
litigation several years ago over a patented
bottle stopper which both said they origi-
mated. Kirkegsard won in the courts and
he says he has made more than half a million
dollars out of the invention. His success,
he alleges, made Koch a bitter enemy.
Whenever they met. he said, Koch. who is
90 years old. ten years the senior of MIR.
Kirkegsard. abused him and invariably
called him a swindler. Sometimes he
abused hin in German, sometimes sin Danish,
sometimes in English and occasionally
when he was more h usually angry he
would Use all three.
Three weeks ago. according to the testi-
mony, Koch met kirkegaard at Duane n
Centre streets and began a verbal attack.
Then, his anger getting the mastery, Koch,
several witnesses swore, struck Mr.. klrke-
gard, who retalisted by knocking the rival
inventor down, Koch picked himself mp,
ran all the way to the Tombs police court
and got a warrant for his asesilant. who
was arrested. The case was passed up
next day TO Special Sessions which, after
hearing the evidence, promptly discharged
Kirkegsard.
Carl Fischer Hansen counse for Kirke-
gard, told the cour hat his client Is con-
sidered by his fellow countrymen "the
foremost Dane in America" They have
arranged, he said. to give him a dinner
next Thursday night at Mouquin's to cele-
brste his recent elevation to knighthood
and Danes from all over the country will
attend. Sir Heising Blun, the Danish
Minister to the United States. will preside.
