The celebration OF the first anniver-

ported that the reform mayor of tho
city gave his permission for the circus
That many enjoyed Sunday. OF the.
several fights pulled Off Mt the creased
pole climbing no arrests were made
and police court was a blank. 1t has
been intimated that the permit was
given in view; Of the political alvan.

wife's face. She fought with her hus-
band. She with nothing to defend her
self was slashed with a razor and
after she had bled to death he cut her
throat.
He left her lying In the yard where
she had given up her last drop OF
blood. There Coroner Amos found her
when he made his official call.
There is streak OF insanity running
through the Corman family. Coffman
had two brothers and a fntner WHO
died in the hospital for insane. When
asked why he did such dreadful deed
Coffman said: ut must be the old In
sanity in my family cropping out"
Had Coffman not died SO soon he
would have in NIL probability been tried
for murder. Witnesses were sent be-
fore the grand jury yesterday that
knew something in regard to the case.

the Great Assize where no erroneous

Coffman at times yesterday seemed
rational. He told his nurse that he
had nothing to live for. The body was
taken to Undertaken Jenkins establish

then taken to his brothers. residence

WOMAN UNDER A MENTAL
STRAIN ACCUSES LAWYER
Says Husband and Attorney Tried to
Force Her to Obtain a Divorce
at the Point of a
Revolver

Special to The Herald
PASADENA, Aug. 14.-Reduced by
worry to a state of almost nervous col
lapse, Mrs. Alice Smith of this city
imagines that her husband and his at
torney tried to force her to secure
divorce by the use of a revolver and
threats of personal violence which
charge she insistently made today.
Mrs. Smith is housekeeper for Mrs
L. o. Mattiesson of 400 South Lake
avenue.
The series of incidents apparently
reached a elimination last night, when
Mrs. Smith alleges she woke up to find
a lawyer-real or neutrality-suspicious.
through her bedroom window with
handkerchief tied over the lower part
of his face"
On several previous occasions she says
he threatened her with a revolver"
and informed her that she ''ought to be
shot for making her husband, from
whom she had been separated for some
time, pay her S. per week
Chief Favour and Sergt. Longley
made an investigation of the case this
afternoon and came to the conclusion
the woman is suffering from an exces-
sive nervous strain, and has eXag-
gerated her stories.
Mrs. Smith herself says the strain has
become excessive, and she has thrown
up her position as housekeepr to seek
a duieter situation.
Victor Smith, her husband, is an en-
ploye of the Los Angeles railway.

FLORENCE PREPARES FOR
GREAT INDEPENDENT MILL

The Florence at Goldfield is prepar-
ing for development work and ore ex-
traction on company account, so as to
be ready for the big mill when 1t be-
gins to grind out its grist of dividends.
Under company management the rich
estate is not likely to lose any of its
attractions, and the stockholders VIII
be further enriched by receiving the
full 100 per cent of the total extraction
The policy of the company has not yet
been decided, and those who contem-
plate applying for leases at the expira-
ton of the present terms are anxious to
know what policy will be pursued.
Owing to the limited capacity of the
mill, it is more than probable that the
leasing system will remain in vogue un-
til such time, at least, as the company
can take care of all it's own ores. A
dozen or more sets of lessees have been
placed independently wealthy through
working the golden leases, and as many
more are accumulating fortunes. Ev-
cry day these men are liable to strike
another Reilly shoot, open up another
Little Florence or an Engineer lead.
The company has proved up an al
most continuous ore body from the
Reilly to the main shaft, distance or
1900 feet. The rates enforced by both
smelters and railroads were so exorbl-
tant that the company was induced 10
undertake the construction of a mill
that will be opened early in the fall.
The construction work has been slow
on account of the slow delivery of steel
and structural machinery.
