By reference to our advertising
columns it will be eeen that the
town council has called an cleo
ton, which will be held the l1th
inst, aaking permission Of the
voters of town to lay an addition
al levy Of Ten Cents 90 cents)
on the 800 valuation for the pur-
pose Of repairing the Main street
Jordan Branch bridge. Some
time ago the council employed>A.
A. Wilson of Ashland, KY, to ex.
anime the bridge and see if the
structure was worth repairing.
Mr.. Wilson, who ia a contractor,
examined the structure thorough
ly and reported that with $4OO or
$500 spent In repairing the bridge
1T would stand for FIVE or six
years with safety. AS the inter
est on the amount it would re-
quire for new bridge would be
more than the cost of repairs, we
see no reason why every one
should not vote IN favor of the
levy. To lay an additional levy
requires only majority vote.

Enos Walters, Lessee of Rich
Nevada Claim, May Become
a Public Charge
Wife Accuses His Associate OF
Failure to Keep Promise
of Assistance

With his hands just about to grasp
the pot of gold that lies at the end of
every prospector's rainbow, Enos Wal
ters, mining man. was stricken at
National City, New, with serious
mental disorder, and today he will be
examined regarding his sanity before
the superior court Of San Mateo county
at Redwood City. The unfortunate
mans wife. Mrs. Enos Walters of 1851
Market street, this city. believes that
Walters affection can be cured if he is
given proper treatment at a private
sanatorium, but she said yesterday
that, while Samuel W. Gundaker of
Nevada promised to stand by the man
in his trouble, he had refused to do
so. and nothing remained but for him
to be committed to public institu-
ton. Harry T. Creswell the attorney
of this city, was interested with Wal
tiers, according to Mrs. Walters, in the
valuable Nevada claim, but he, too
said the wife, stood aloof in the mat
ter.
Walters is now at DIR. Gardeners
sanatorium at Belmont but his wife
can not afford to keep him there Had
not the attack seized upon the hapless
man when it did he would have been
accounted one OF the most fortunate
of all miners now operating in Ne
vada, for the claim which he and Cres-
well are said to have held under lease
from Gundaker adjoins a claim which
was paying $40 to the pound. Fortune,
which Walters had pursued over the
icy beach at Nome and in the rugged
British Columbia country, seemed about
to capitulate, when an attack af as
phasia seized the man, paralyzed his
body and wrecked his mind.
Recently" said Mrs. Walters yes
terday Samuel w. Gundaker, whom
my husband had known in Alaska, Brit
ish Columbia and Washington, said
that if Mr.. Walters would go to Ne
vada he would put him on valuable
property. Mr.. Walters interested. Harry

building. in the project and Creswell
advanced money for opening up the
property. Creswell went up there May
IS and was well pleased with the pros
poets. About May 2S, after Creswel
had left. Mr.. Walters was stricken.
Then" Mrs. Walters continued,
"Gundaker said to me, II it takes a
year I'll put up for his treatment. He
must go INTO a hospital; III put the
and he will help without me having to
ask him; but if he doesn't, 1 will"
Walters was brought to. the city and
taken to McNutt's hospital, and stayed
there two days. Gundaker meeting that
expense; but then the aid stopped ac-
cording to the woman, and although
her husband was taken to DR.. Gard
ner's sanatorium, there has been no
one to pay for the treatment.
Mrs. Walters says that she believed
the lease her husband secured is in
CreswelIs name, but that Creswell has
offered to deed her husbands interest
to her or hold it for her, but refused
to permit her to put a man in her hus-
bands place to carry out his work.
Creswell was in Nevada yesterday
and could not be seen.

caught lying, and then nonchalantly
admitted he had been lying.
Detective Tom Gibson of the identih-
cation bureau thought he recognized IN
the man an old time criminal who
many years ago had been arrested by
him for defrauding a woman in Red
ding, but he could not make sure of
the fact.

Partland of the Identification bureau
made a careful search through the rec
ords yesterday, but could find no trace
of Madison, Johnston or any of his other
numerous aliases.
TINGE OF MYSTERY
A tinge of mystery was added to the
case by the actions of Miss Minnie
Gather of San Francisco, who, the
police think, was one of his dupes.
She took a prominent part in warshal-
ing the local victims TO get them not
to give out any information to any
one and declared herself professional
detective.
Il first ran across the man in March,
she said. after he had met Mrs Leo
pold. At the time met him 1 knew he
was making similar advances to an
other friend of mine and I kept watch
of him. When he deserted Mrs. Leo
pold 1 felt so sorry for her that I be-
gan to hunt for him. I answered all
the matrimonial advertisements and
finally succeeded in landing him
through one of them. I protested to
be a woman with property in Seattle
and finally succeeded in getting him
to come to San Francisco. My declara-
tions OF love were only to lure him on.
When he came here I pointed him out
to the detectives and had him ar

MONUMENT TO DAUBENTON
ADORNED BY 2 SHEEP
Honor Shown to Man Who Did
Much for Agriculture

There has just been unveiled in the
Button park at Monthard a monument
to a Frenchman whose name is but
little known to the public, but who
performed great services to his country
-Daubenton. He was born at Mon
thard in 1716 and was sent to Paris
to study for the church. He forsook the
theological writers for those of medicine
and on the death of his father he re-
turned to his native town, where he
practiced the healing art. Button re-
called him to Paris, and there he filed
the position of curator and demon
strator at the Natural History museum.
His country is indebted to him for his
labor on behalf of agriculture. 1t was
he who introduced into France the
merino sheep. The monument shows
the bust of Daubenton on a pedestal. at
the foot of which are. two fine speci-
mems of the famous sheep.-London
