THREATENS TO STAY
'BIGAMIST' GIBSON
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE GALL.

SAN JOSE. April 1T.-When Al A.
Gibson returns to this city tomorrow
from Los Angeles in custody OF a dep
uty sheriff to answer to charge OF
bigamy preferred by g. A. Murray.
prominent contractor OF this city. he
will be compelled to face number
OF enraged relatives of the two women
he has deceived and LED to the altar
within the last five years.
1t is stated upon good authority that
twice since Gibson's expose, weapons
have been taken from the hands of the
father of Grace Murray, wife No. 2, and
that he has threatened to kill on sight
the man whom he regards as his daugh-
ter's betrayer.
The advisability OF taking the former
telephone inspector off the train just
outside of the city and conveying him
to the county prison in q secret man
ner has been discussed in the sheriff's
office and IS deemed advisable.
There is little doubt among those ia
miliar with the case concerning Glib
sons guilt. Yesterday wife No 1 re-
turned from Portland. Ore, where she
had been sent three weeks ago by her
husband TO get her out of the way for
his second marriage with 10 year old
Oracle Murray.
She did not know that there was a
warrant out for her husbands arrest,
but learned of his second marriage
through the newspapers, and she ap-
peared before Justice Brown with the
intention of swearing TO a complaint
herself.
She expressed herself as satisfied
when she learned of the action OF Miss
Murray's father. She will aid in the
prosecution of her husband, whom she
admits she worshiped at one time.
Mrs. Gibson has turned over her
marriage certificate which Is properly
signed, witnessed and sealed to the
authorities, as we'll as a large number
of letters which Gibson wrote to her
after he had sent her away. These
missives are OF most affectionate ma
ture and are signed Your loving hus-
band"

CONDEMNS CUTTING
OF THE BIG TREES
spncIAI DIsPATcH 10 THE CALL.


SANTA CRUZ. April 1.-THE grand
jury today brought in final report
and a supplemental report which dealt
redwood park, and instructed District
Attorney knight to institute proceed
ings to annul the contract made by
State Forester Lull with William FL
som and prevent the removal OF wood
and split stuff from the park.
The report sternly condemns War
den Rambo and Forester Lull, and asks
for their removal. 1t finds the cutting
of trees under the guise of a contract
an outrage and that the commissioners
exceeded their powers by grossly vio-
lating the letter and spirit of the legis-
lative act authorizing tire purchase Of
the park, therefore rendering the con-
tract void.
1t finds the fire hazard greatly en-
HANGED by reason of the litter scat
tered about; that such cleaning up
must be done by the state; that funds
from the sale of timber will in no
way be ample to defray the expense of
clearing; that 80 or more large red
woods cut were not dead, according to
the testimony of expert woOdmen; that
the trees cut were almost at the en-
trance OF the park
These points and numerous others
conclude the charges OF fnexperience
and neglect of duty on the part OF
the state forester. park warden and
assistant.
The jury maintains that many state
officials have never visited the park.

Battle Desperately and Sus-
tain Heavy Losses

a French column posted on Talzaza
hill. which commands the plain OF
Tamlet. was attacked fiercely at day
light yesterday by a number Of Ber-
bers. who, with nomad Arabs, have
been concentrating for some weeks on
the western frontier OF Algeria.
Although surprised. the French
force rallied and fought desperately
and not only beat off their adversaries
but pursued them for six miles. So
hot was the pursuit that the Arabs in
their headlOng flight abandoned their
dead and wounded.
Several green flags OF the prophet
also fell into the hands OF the French.
This French victory was costly.
Twenty eight men. including an off,
