'ElOPERS FIGURE
IN DIVORCE COURT

Wrecked Her Happiness

OAKLAND, June 17.-Only a short
time after the romantic elopement 10

at the high school. They came home
and were welcomed by their parents.
Ernst's mother is a we'll known mil
liner, and he is employed by her. For
short time ali went well, but soon
the shadow of the tall blonde was cast
between them. Mrs. Ernst says she
does not know the name of her rival,
but she affirms that she does know
that her husband took the tall blonde
to nickel dances and TO other places
of amusement.
After the tall blonde came others
who won Ernst's heart, according to
his wife. Then he took automobile
rides, scorning anything so cheap as
nickel dances. In the meantime, the
wife says, her spouse was cruel to her
in many other ways. He struck her
in the face with his fist on several
occasions, she declares. Finally he
made her work in his mothers estab-
lishment. Mrs. Ernst asks the court
to award her alimony of $50 a month
and the custody of her infant child

CAPTURED BY TRAMPS
is REPORT TO POLICE
Berkeley Boys Deprived of Rifle
Invent Weird Story

BERKELEY, June 17.-Plenty of ex-
citement was caused in the police sta
ton last night when Mrs. Frank Ma
SOW, wife of the well known College
avenue contractor and recent candidate
for mayor on the socialist ticket, re-
ported that her son Ernest and a num-
Der of boys were held for ransom by
tramps back of the California Institu-
ton for the Deaf and Blind.
A squad of police under the leader
ship of Clarence Morrill, were rushed
to the scene only to find that B. Keith,
superintendent of the institution, and
the night Waterman had disarmed q
number of small boys, among them
young Masow, who intended to go to
the hills and kill wild animals.
The youths were foiled at the head
of Warning street by the appearance
of Keith and the tramp ransom story
was evidently concocted by the boys
upon the loss of their only weapon of
defense.

WATTS s. YEARS
FOR SOLDIER PAY
Alameda City Engineer Was
Once Indian Fighter in
the Northwest

ALAMEDA, June 17.-Fifty- three
years after having fought his last
battle with the redskins on the site
of what is now the city of Seattle,
I n. Chapman. city engineer of Ala
media, today received notification from
the state Of Washington that he is
entitled TO pay at the rate of So per
day for the time he served his country.
Chapman enlisted in Company B, Sec
ond regiment, Washington territory
volunteers, January %, 1856, and was
discharged July % of the same year
Of 26 companies of 100 men each
there are at this time as far as is
known but 113 survivors. One other
man only who was in the same COM
pany with Chapman is still alive He
is John P. Hayes of Newport Beach.
At the last session of the Washing
ton state legislature $4,000 was ap-
propriated to pay off the surviving
volunteers of the old Indian wars
When Chapman left the northwest
IS years ago he neglected to take a
trunk containing his discharge. This
he left in hotel at Salem. Ore, and p
years later went to the northern city
TO claim his baggage. The hotel was
still there, but his trunk was missing.
The old Indian fighter communicated
with the war department and found
that his discharge had been presented
and $500 paid upon it.
The last fight in which the old cam
paigner figured was on the site of the
present city of Seattle. which, together
with the city of Tacoma, was later par
fiallV laid ont nv him At that fine
his company was making a desperate
stand against Overwhelming numbers
of Indians. Chapman said that the
whites were gradually losing ground
and would soon have been scalped &c
the last one had not the revenue cutter
Shubrick put in an appearance and dis
persed the Indians by throwing shot
over the heads of the white soldiers
and into the redmen's forces.

ROMANCE MAY END
IN FATHER'SDEATH
Because Daughter Threatens to
EIOpe With Soldier Parent
Attempts Suicide
Pretty Mamie Kuffler Yearns to
Be the Bride of Dashing
Coast ArtiIIeryman

SAUsALITO, June i7-Because his
daughter expressed an intention to
elope with a soldier. Charles Kuffier, a
cigarman of this place. attempted to
hang himself in the basement of his
home yesterday and was saved from
death by the timely appearance of his
wife.
Back Of the attempted suicide is a
romance which has resulted in the
sending away of Miss Mamie Kufier,
the Il year old daughter of the irate
parent. and the life of the soldier being
threatened by kuffier.
IN LOVE WITH SOLDIER
Pretty Mamie Kufler met David Nell
son. who is private in the Thirty
second regiment at Fort Baker, at a
dance given I'm Old Sausalito last Fri
day night. and their friendship rapidly
ripened into stronger affection.
Sunday night Nelson called at the
Kuffer home and met the father OF the
girl Kuffler told the soldier that he
had no use for any of the Fort Baker
men and ordered him out OF the house.
LEAF TO sUTTOR's PLEADING
Nelson asked for a fair considera-
ton OF MS SUIT ana Sdlu Llldl ne Wpulu
endesvor 10 buy himself out OF the
army if he could have the girl for his
wife But KUffler would not listen to
his plea, and the crestfallen soldier
left with the determination that he
would see the lady of his heart despite
her fathers wishes.
Tuesday night Kuf1er returned TO
his home to find Nelson alone with his
daughter. The angry cigar dealer
rushed upon the daring soldier to give
him the promised beating, but Nelson
escaped through a rear window. Kuf-
fer then turned upon his daughter and
upbraided her for what he termed dis
grazing the family name.
FATHER ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
All night Kuffier brooded over his
daughters attachment for the soldier.
and yesterday morning he secured a
rope and went into the basement TO
commit suicide. His wife heard his
groans. and when she reached the base
ment Kufier was hanging by his neck
from an overhead beam. Mrs. Kuffier
cut the rope and succeeded in re-
suscitating the almost strangled man.
kuffier has told several friends that he
viii kin himself if his daughter fol-
lows out her resolve 10 run away with
the soldier.
Miss Kuffler was sent away yester-
day to Elmhurst. where she will be
closely watched IN the home OF her
aunt, Mrs. NJ. Kope.
