Wife Secures Final Decree.
Custody Of Two Children
and $4,000 in Property
HUSBAND Is SCORED

SANTA ROSA, Oct 1s.-The sensa-
tional suit for divorce of l. D. Batch
elor Of San Francisco against Mrs. Su-
sic Bachelor, who resides on ranch
al FL Nerano, which has been before
the public since it was first fled. In
May, 1905, was brought to an abrupt
end yesterday when Judge Seawell
awarded the wife a decree of divorce
and the custody Of the two minor chill
dren. He ordered that the daughter,
Miss Alvina Bachelor, age Is. be al
lowed TO choose with which parent she
would reside. The wife was given all
the property remaining, valued at
about $1,000.
Judge Seaweu declared that the
charges made by the husband against
his wife and his children were too
shocking and revolving to be believed
and that he did not think it possible for
the accusations TO be true
All the evidence" he continued. is
unquestionably in favor Of the cross
complainant It is a seif-contradiction
that the mother of this boy. who has
appeared on the stand before me this
atternoon, could have used the Ian
Euage attributed to her in the hus-
bands afidavits and complaints. The
boy IS as refined and uses as fine
language as any one Of his age and his

Ny HeAta4 makeup makes it i'm
possible for me TO believe that he has
been under any such influence as his
father contends. The charges are pre-
posterous and man who viii make
them Tor no other apparent purpose
than 10 secure a few thousand dollars
worth Of property can get no relief in
this court"
Batchelor filed his first action in San
francisco IN May, 1905, but before il
came 70 trial the suit was dismissed.

was later transferred TO this county.

"Swiftwater Bill" Gates to make a fight
for 5000 bread money, which he admit
ted he possessed at the time he filed
his petition to be declared bankrupt,
was revealed today in the proceedings
before John p. Hoyt, referee in bank
ruptcy. William Wray, Gates attor-
ney, asserted that this sum was due
his client as bread money, which is
generally allowed petitioners for bank
ruptcy in such cases.
Wray went on TO say that Swift

of course, to return 1t to his creditors
in case the court did not award it to
him as bread money. He said that
Gates was now living upon the charity
of his friends and was anxious to re-
turn to the goldhelds to recuperate his
lost fortunes.
