the accident was caused by a struggle
of some kind among the occupants of
the cart. Dabner and Rudge will be
severely s-questioned along this
line at the inquest tomorrow night.
according TO the story of the two
men Mrs. Burns came out to the one
mile house with Dabner in the after
noon. They drank and supped to-
-gether and about midnight invited
Rudge TO go with them for drive in
Dabner's cart. The trio went at a fast
clip down the Napa road. At the foot
of the hill close by the Four-mile
house the horse stumbled. Mrs Burns
was thrown violently forward. striking
the ground on her head. Dabner fell
face downward close by her side
When the two men picked up Mrs.
Burns she was still alive They car
ried her back to the One-mile house
in the cart and telephoned for DR..
Turner She died before he arrived.
Frank Burns. the husband of the
dead woman, claims that he did not
know she was out with Dabner. In
his grief he swore vengeance for her
death Later he said that he believed
the affair was purely accidental.
Mrs. Burns was possessed of consid-
cradle property. 1t is said that she had
a separate income of 500 a month
from an estate left her by her rela-
tives.
Dabner and Rudge were not arrested.

co AFTER RABBITS
AND MEET BEAR.

ALAMEDA, July 29-Jack Mangean
and little "Tootsie" Wagner, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Gus Wagner of this
city, who have an outing camp in
Moraga Valley, encountered a big bear
in Redwood canyon yesterday morning
at $50, while out on an early hunt for
rabbits.
Mangean and his companion came
upon bruin between Hanson's road
house and the west end of the canyon.
The big quadruped is supposed to be
the bear that escaped from a circus
near Livermore nearly two years ago.
The animal has a collar on and has
been seen several times by ranchers in
Moraga Valley and Redwood canyon
The Redwood canyon region is thick
ly covered with underbrush and affords
an ideal habitat for bruin.
When Mangean and the little Wag-
ner girl observed the bear the brute
was travelling up the mountain side and
was within gunshot. Mangean was
armed with breech-loader. but as his
shells contained fine shot he did not
care to risk discharging a load of the
leaden pellets into the bear, as he
feared the shot would not kill the
animal and might wound the beast so
that he would become enraged and at
tack him and his young companion.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.


SANTA ROSA. July 2s.-Mr. and Mrs.
H. o. Brockman. who reside near this
city, are almost beside themselves over
the mysterious disappearance of their
daughter. Miss Agnes Brockman. who
left home two weeks ago to meet
George w. Thompson of Glen Ellen in
San Francisco to become his bride.
The only word they have received since
the girls departure was a letter from
their daughter written in San Fran
cisco on the day of her arrival telling
her parents that she was met by
Thompson at Tiburon and that they had
spent a pleasant day together and were
to leave for Los Angeles the next morn
ing. where they would be married.
Nothing further was heard of the
couple until Saturday morning. when a
local paper published the following an
nouncement:
Miss Ida Richardson Burd of Ken
lucky and George w. Thompson of this
county were married very quietly in
San Rafael last Friday afternoon. The
bride is a typical girl of the old South.

Thompson is the son of William A.

Brockman came to town and made
an investigation believing that some
one was playing practical joke.
County Clerk Graham of San Rafael
however, when called up on the long
distance telephone verified the report
of Thompsons marriage to Miss Ida f.
Burd on Friday a week ago.
Miss Brockman is II years old In
her letter from San Francisco to her
mother she said she would not write
again until they were settled. Brock
