as to the best way of raising the funds

BRITISH OBJECT
TO AMERICAN WIFE
WOMAN SEEKS DIVORCE FROM
LECTURER
Is Unable to Stand Chilly Treatment
of English Relatives and Asks
Legal Separation from
Husband

Because, as she alleges, her hus-
bands relatives are ashamed of her
nationality Mrs. Josephine Gage, AZ
wears of age, an American woman, is
suing Henry Gage, 20 years of age,
an Englishman, for divorce before
Judge Bordwell of department of the
superior court.
The case is novel one and w!li
probably never again be duplicated in
the history of the local courts. Ac-
cording to Mrs. Cages testimony yes
terday she was married in 1901 in Los
Angeles to Henry Gage, well known
teacher and lecturer.
Cages people in London, while not
of the nobility, are of an old and re-
spected family and when they learned
that the neir had married an American
they were shocked. They had amassed
fortune as tradesmen and they de-
cided not to give any to the young
lecturer who had disgraced them by
marrying an American woman.
The difference in age also caused
considerable disruption in the British
family and about the time that the
trouble had reached a climax Gage
finished his lecture tour in America
and decided to return to his home,
taking his wife with him. Mrs. Gage
does not look anywhere near as old
as she says she is, but that didn't
make any difference to the English
relatives.
When she arrived at the London
home she was coldly received. The
conversation at the breakfast table
was of such a frigid nature as to
produce icicles on the coffee cups, and
Mrs. Gage did not stand it long.
Gage sent his wife to California
promising to join her as soon as pos
sible. He has not come and his let
ters have been of such character that
Mrs. Gage believes he never intends
to see her again.
Yesterday she told her troubles to
Judge Bordwell and he took the case
under advisement pending further in
Vestigation.

FEUD CARRIED TO
SECOND STABB|NG
MEN REVIVE DEEP HATRED OF
BOYH00D
Quarrel of Youths Begun in Mexico
Twice Renewed in Los Angeles.
Police Search for Persist
ent AssaiIant

Seriously and perhaps fatally
stabbed in the right side Tom Silva,
a laborer, living at 1856 East Twentieth
street, was found by his wife lying un-
conscious in front of their home early
last night.
The injured man was carried into
the house and the police notified. BY
the time the officers arrived Silva had
regained CONSCIOUSNESS and informed
the officers that Mancino Gonzales, a
steam filter, and a man who three
years ago served year in prison for
stabbing Silva fourteen times in the
chest and back, was the one who had
again attempted to take his life.
Gonzales was not found by the Of
ficers, and at his home, few doors
from the house where Silva lives, 1t
was said he had not been seen for
several hours.
The feud between the men dates
back a number of years. When boys
they lived as neighbors in a small city
in Mexico. At that time the feud ex-
listed between their families and even
in their childhood the two hated each
other.
Again stabs Enemy
Five years ago Silva moved to Los
Angeles and year later Gonzales fol-
lowed. For a year truce existed and
although the men openly cursed each
other, there was no fight. At the end
of that time they met in saloon on
South Main street. Both are said to
have been drinking. Hot words brought
on blows and at last Silva fell be-
meath a storm of blows. When picked
up and examined he was found to have
suffered fourteen knife stabs.
Gonzales was arrested and sentenced
to a year in JAIL He served his time
and since he has been freed has had
no intercourse with Silva until last
night.
When they met last night the men
stood for a few minutes talking of the
wrongs each thought the other had
inflicted on him. Suddenly, according
to Silva, his enemy sprang upon him
and buried a sharp-edsed. dagger IN
silVa's side.
The injured man was taken to the
receiving hospital, where 1t was said
late last night he would probably live.

Doughty approached Smith several
days ago and asked him if he would
cash the check. The men have been
friends for years. Smith cashed the
check, but soon afterward became
suspicious. He telegraphed the Cali
fornia Bank of Oakland, on which the
check was drawn and yesterday re-
ceived word that the check was
worthless.
The police were at once notified and
Detective Mcnamara was detailed
on the case. The officer succeeded in
finding the men early last night, and
they were taken to the police station,
where they were identified by Mr..

Did Press Agent Do It?

AHBGlbS, CdlIOIIlld.
Did Press Agent Do It?
The stamp was pasted right on the
she'll above the address and the New
York postmark appeared next to the
stamp. That the egg could not have
gone under the steel die stamper al
ways used is a certainty, and one of the
finely made rubber stamps was prob
ably used to make the impression of
the postmark. There is a break in the
lettering between the cancellation of
the stamp and the postmark, probably
made because of the rounded surface Of
the egg.
That the egg could have been carried
from one station to the other, thrown
about in the heavy mail sacks and
passed along without being broken is
considered marvel When the egg ar
rived in Los Angeles yesterday the
postman thought enough of it to carry
it in his hand to the opera house so
that after it's long journey it might
not meet destruction at the last stage.
The egg was little soiled from thumb
marks, but the address was very plain.
The Mason opera house will prob
ably keep the egg as a souvenir after
Manager Wyatt shows it to Cawthorne
and tells him of the peculiar shell
game. But no matter what the object
of the sender, most remarkable rec
ord was created when the egg arrived
in Los Angeles in safety.
(Note-The press agent of the "Free
Lance" company arrived yesterday.
He reached the theater an hour before
the globe -galloping egg was handed in.)

less and Unbroken

Probably the most remarkable feat
of the year has been accomplished by
some New York joker who mailed an
egg to his friend, Joseph Cawthorne,
the comedian of the Free Lance" COM
pany, who will open at the Mason opera
house next Monday.
The egg arrived yesterday and was
delivered by the mail carrier. When it
was carefully and tenderly handed
through the box office window to Will
Wyatt he gave gasp of astonishment
and asked what the joke was. He was
told that there was no josh about 1t,
but that it was a sober reality. The
egg had crossed the continent from
New York and had reached Los Angeles
in safety and on time, according to the
mail schedules.
An egg will not fit in a letter box.
An egg will not stand the rap of a
steel die, but this egg came through
just the same. The egg is just an or
dinary hen egg.
The egg was probably discovered in
Unadilla and shipped into the New
York market. There it was bought by
some friend of Joseph Cawthorne.
Cawthorne appeared in Los Angeles
nearly two years ago as the head come
dian in Mother Goose" Maybe it was
the old goose that laid this egg, but
that could hardly have been possible,
for it was too small to be the product
of the savior of Rome
Egg a Marvel of Hardihood
Did you ever stand on the station
platform at some little depot down in
Arizona or New Mexico and see the
huskies handle the mail bag-or even
in big city, for that matter? Did you
ever wonder that even the news was
not broken by the handling? And then
think what that poor little egg was up
against.
The sender must have taken it to the
New York postoffice to send it out, for
it would not go in letter box. Incl
dentally the sender did not even boil
the egg. A hard-boiled egg might have
wiggled through the long journey, or
an artificial one would have found it
easy, but this egg was just raw hen
egg with nothing to protect it's fluid
like contents but the thin shell nature
had endowed it with.
Incidentally there is a rule of the
postoffice about sending raw eggs
through the mail. But no matter what
the difficulties were, that egg came
straight to Los Angeles. 1t was not
wrapped in paper or cotton or card
board or anything of that kind. 1t was
. just plain egg.
The address was carefully lettered
on the white shell of the egg, "Jos.
