FOR CANCER!
Any Lump in WOman's Breast Is
Cancer

A new book OF the most wonderful
discoveries on the cure OF cancer ever
written has been recently published
by DR.. S. p. Chamley the noted can
Ger specialist. who has for many years
had Offices at 696 McAllister ST., San
Francisco, Cal, and has effected thou
sands of wonderful cures OF cancers
that have been pronounced incurable
by other physicians. He successfully
proves his astounding statement that
ANY lump in a woman's breast Is
cancer" in this book. He has so much
confidence in his ability to cure can
Ger that he offers $1,000 if he fails to
cure any cancer he treats before IL
poisons deep glands. He has devoted
almost the whole of his professional
life-nearly forty years-to this spe-
cialty and has reduced it to. a science
that has not been approached by any
other physician. He performs no
operations with the knife and his
treatments are painless.
The book and his cures are creating
sensation among medical men who
recommend him being strictly re-
liable. The reader may save a life
by sending this to some one with

RANCHER'S MONEY is
FOUND IN A TIN BOX
Cousin of Custodian of Funds
Suspected of Robbing
the Safe
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


LAKEPORT, Sept 1S.-Sensations
are following one another rapidly in
connection with the robbery of P. @.
Robisons safe at Kelseyville in this
county August %. William Piner, a
cousin of Robson and of a prominent
family, has been arrested and it is pos
sible that Robson will be charged with
having been an accessory after the
fact.
Robson, who keeps a general mer-
chandise store, acted as a banker for
the ranchers of the surrounding coun-
safe. All of the trust money was
taken. but not a cent of 5000 belonging
to Robson and inclosed in a burglar
proof compartment, was disturbed.
Sheriff Kemp and District Attorney
c. NJ. Crawford took charge of the case
and finally eliminated every one who
might be guilty except the merchant
and his cousin. Robson finally admit
ted he had left the. safe open on the
day the robbery occurred.
Piner borrowed $12 August 81 and
went to San Francisco. He was traced
and it was learned that he placed $500
in bank in Berkeley. Robson a few
days ago showed the officers an anony-
nous letter which he said he had re-
ceived, and in it there were directions
to search around a bridge in Kelsey
Vile. This was done and the sum of
S1.050 was found in a tin can.
The actions of both men, in the opin-
ion of the district attorney, warranted

leased today on bond Sheriff Kemp

self in front of railroad train. His
body was found later close to railroad
crossing not far from waterinsbury.
The general had received letters ac-
cusing him OF having murdered his
wife. Mrs. Luard was shot near Seven
Oaks on the afternoon of August "a a
few moments after her husband had
left her to go TO a near by club on an
errand. When he returned he found
her dead.
The tragic death of the general. who
was the last person to see his wife
alive and the first to find her body. has
revived interest in this murder. which
the police authorities thus far have
been unable to unravel. An expert
testified that it was impossible for the
bullets which caused death to have
been fired from any of the revolvers
owned by General Luard.
General Luard left the following let-
ter. addressed to Colonel Warde:
You will find my body at the Teston
crossing j am sick of the scandaIous
and lying reports, and 1 can not face
my son, whom l expected to meet to
day, and have decided to end my

STILL UNSETTLED
BelaScO and Mayer Make State
ment in RefutatiOn of Claims
of Valencia Theater
Offer to Wager 81, 900 They Are
Only Ones Authorized TO
Present Drama

The war in local theatrical circles
over the production of The Devil'' is
progressing merrily, with the agreeable
outlook that both the Novelty and Va
lencia productions will start in with
packed houses. The principal effort
on the part of each management is to
secure the advantage of the first pro-
duction
In reply to the Valencia manage
ment's statement Belasco & Mayer gave
out the following:
In published communication the manage
ment OF the Valencia theater more than lnsln-
yates that Belasco & Mayer have no right to
produce The Devil in San Francisco, and in
claims are set forth.
WILL MAKE WAGER OF $1,000
One of them is to the effect that the Valencia
theater is exclusively authorized TO present the
Harrison Grey Fiske version of the Molnsr play.
10 prove that such a claim is presumptuous.
Belssco q Mayer are ready to wager $1,000 that
the Valencia theater possesses no such right.
IT is also alleged by the Valencia theater
directorate that the Belasco & Mayer produc-
tiOn Of The DeviI'' must necessarily be '.bur-
rieds while the Valencia theater company have
ample time TO study and rehearse the play In
refutatOn of that statement Belasco K Mayer
declare that their company has had the manu-
script of the play in hand ever since the War
field season opened at the Alcazar, and have had
nothing else 10 do than perfect themselves IN
the parts. Moreover, renearsais nave Deen nelo
daily on the Aleazsr stage during all that time
while the AlcaZsr's corps of scenic artists and
mechanics have been preparing the scenery for
The Devil" On the other hand. Belssco a.
Mayer affirm the Valencia theater people could
not possibly give the play adequate prepare tory
study. inssmuch as they have had TO study and
rehesrse THE Conquerors'' for presentation next
week. Therefore public comparison Of the
two productions OF THE Devil' is cheerfuly
invited by Bessco & Mayer.
COMPARES THE STAGES
Another claim made by the Valencia theater
management is that Belssco & Mayer not
do justice TO The DeviI' the small stage
of the Novelty. This assertion is met by the
statement that the stage of the Novelty is
larger than the stage of the Belasco theater,
New York. where the Harrison Grey Ffske pro-
duction of ''The Devir' is running
BelascO & Mayer say that they had the man
uscript of the only authorized version of The
Devii'' in almost a month ago, but were pre-
vented producing the play at the Alcazar by the
engagement Of David Warfield Their intention
was 10 open their regular stock season next
month with the Devil" but when they
learned that another version Of the Hungarian
drama to be presented in the Valencia
theater they Immediately put their version into
rehearsal, leased the Novelty theater and other
wise arranged TO protect their own interests
and give the people of San Francisco produc-
tion of the reigning New York sensation that
shall be complete in every detail.
