which was for weeks the principal
topic along Officers row" at the pre-
sidio, San Francisco. Mrs. Bush, the
divorced wife, has left for Paris with
her three children, where she will Join
her father, General Joseph R. Girard,
retired, while Captain Bush is still
reading his bible and praying at Al
catraz. The granting of this divorce
not only gave Mrs. Bush freedom from
matrimonial bonds that were a burden,
but closed the curtain on what was
once one Of the most charming of army
romances.
Mrs. Bush became the bride of Cap
tain Ross L. Bush several years ago
and they lived happily togethe.. until
Captain Bush was ordered to Manila
where he Cor some unknown reason
was transformed from a dashing army
captain, loving society and enjoyment,
into a religious fanatic, having no
other pleasure than reading the bible
and praying. Mrs. Bush was one of
the leaders il army circles, being a
talented musician aud pleasing vocal
ist. She was a crack shot with a pis-
tol and often broke records in contests
with the army officers and their wives.
She was an expert horsewoman and was
also an athlete in many ways, Mrs.
Bush took a leading part in Manila
society affairs and was admired by her
husband, who seemed proud of her &C.
complshments, but when the change
came he would go for days without
speaking to her. He would not allow
her to attend any social functions or
enjoy any of the pastimes formerly so
pleasing to her.
Mrs. Bush endured this while in Ma
Mia, but On returning to San Francisco
left her husband and went to Winnie
mucca, where she filed a complaint for
divorce, alleging cruelty, stating in her
complaint that her husband by his
actions and his peculiar religious ways
had broken her health and made her
tired of life.
The peculiar actions of her husband
were proven in court by afidayits from
prominent army officers of the pre-
sidio and Of surgeons of the army, and
Mrs, Bush had little trouble in secur-
ing the divorce. After securing her
separation Mrs. Bush told Judge Pike
that she would leave Immediately for
Paris and spend a year travelling with
her parents.

In the argument of the attorneys

seeks to prevent being voted were

voting for years in his own interest.
The attorneys for Fish declared he

the restraining order but was willing

speedy hearing of the issue on it's
merits. Cromwell for Hartman con-
Guided the arguments and the judges
order for modification followed. Fish
consented to the modification on con-
dition that committee of three be-
appointed to consider and report upon
proxies. This was agreed to by Mr..
Cromwell, and a stipulation to that
effect was Incorporated in the order
of Judge Ball. OF this committee,
Hartman is to select one. Fish an
other and the two a third. The COM
mittee will report to the general
meeting of the stockholders.
The court also directed that the
proceedings yesterday shall not pre-
! JUDGE any proceedings that may be
commenced hereafter by either party
to the dispute.
Both Claim the Votes.
AS the matter stands, both sides
believe victory is in their grasp. Both
are of the opinion that they hold the
| greater number of proxies, but the
actual facts in this connection cannot
be guessed at with any accuracy. II
is admitted by the attorneys of both
sides that many stockholders have is
sued duplicate, and even triplicate
proxies and as the proxy of the latest
date is effective, neither side knows
exactly where it stands, neither win
give out figures.
Hartman arrived yesterday but
did not attend the court proceedings.
Fish was in court throughout the day.
Hartman Speaks of the Layout.
e. H. Hartman, commenting on
the decision of Judge Ball last night,
construed it to mean that if we have
enough votes to elect our men with
out the 2S6,000 shares you probably
will hear nothing more about the
matter. If Fish has sufficient votes
outside this stock to put his program
through, the matter will be taken to
inc highest courts of the land before
it is finally settled. Since the iniunc-
ton has been modified, the election
will be held, and there will be a show
down. We are ready to show, and
Fish will be expected to show tomor-
row."

CAREFUL ABOUT HIS VIO-
LENT SPEECHES.

Chicago, Oct. 13.-Large delega
lions from st. Louis and Milwaukee
were present at the banquet of the
Chicago association Of Commerce
Saturday night. These with mem
bers of the organization made a full
500 guests at the banquet. Addresses
were delivered by David Il. Forgan,
president of the association; Corpor-
alton Counsel Brundage, Chicago; Ed
win G. Conway, Charles G. Allen, st.
Louis, and Robert Mather, vice pres
ident of the Rock Island railway
The latter was a feature of the even
ing. He declared that the railroad
problem had become a national prob
lem, not because the railroad busl-
ness had become, for the moment, a
subject of public criticism and OBJ
ject of popular assault, but because
the life of the nation depends upon
it's railroads. and it's future hangs up
on the correct solution OF the prob
lem they present. The speaker crit
icised the railroads for falling to pro
vide sufficient means Of transporta,
ton, recalling that because of this
neglect grain was allowed to rot in
the fields and the people suffered for
want of fuel last winter. He de
clared that in his opinion the secur'
tiles of the railroads could be sold II

confidence of investors.

 Old Confederate Veterans.

The eve of the big barbecue and Confederate reunion finds everything in proper shape for a successful event.
 Passing Ed. Gees market to- day, the scores of butchered beef, sheep, calves, hogs and goats gave forth the impression in no uncertain tones that there is go ing to be plenty to eat.

 The program tomorrow in cludes march by the fraternal orders and the veterans, as well as interesting speeches by our fellow townsmen, Two games of ball, one in the morning, and another in the afternoon, will take place at East End Park.
