TO FORCE PAYMENT
Laundry Worker Arrested and
Then Released After Penning
Letters With Mystic Signs

BERK ELEY, Oct. 7.-Julien Lousta-
let, French laundry worker. spent a
few uncomfortable hours in the city
Jail today because he attempted to use
so called "biack hand" methods to Sc
cure $50 alleged to be due to him from
his employer, NJ. Niramon, who con-
ducts a laundry at 1926 Fairview
street. South Berkeley. Loustalet was
turned out of the prison this afternoon
after the district attorney had refused
to press the case since Niramon would
not prosecute.
After waiting four months for wages
he claimed was due him Lousalet
thought of writing a threatening letter
to Niramon He drew pictures of black
hands, cross daggers and other objects
warranted to inspire terror in the
heart of the receiver of the epistle and
sent 1t through the mails.
The letter. which Loustalet confessed
he had written. led TO his arrest for
the threats and for violating the pos
tai laws. Niramon relented, however,
after he had secured Loustalet's arrest.

to Nome for Fortune and
Returns for Bride

for Miss Lillian Marie Cavanaugh and
Antonio Tapia by a few hastily spoken
words two years ago, is to be real
lied after all. Next Sunday afternoon
at st. Joseph's church, the young low
ers will be united in wedIoek by Rev,
Father J. j. Hennessey and thus will
happily terminate romance that be-
gan when both were children, and
which weathered a love storm that
caused the pair to be as strangers to
each other for two years.
Tapia desired to make Miss Cava-
naugh his bride two years ago. but
parental objection because of doubt
as to Tapia's ability properly to pro-
vide for a wife at that time caused
the ardent suitor and the choice of
his heart to have a tiff which was
followed by the breaking off of their
relations and the departure of Tapia
for Nome.
In the frozen north Tapia toiled
strenuOusly for two years to make
good" Luck smiled on him and a few
days ago he returned from the icy
region, bringing with him and small
fortune.
He made inquiries about his former
sweetheart, and learning that she was
still unmarried decided to renew his
suit for her heart and hand. Luck
was with Tapia once more and Miss
Cavanaugh promised to forget and
forgive and become his bride.

yesterday and arrangements are now
in progress for the coming wedding.

presence of relatives and a few close
friends. A wedding supper will fol-
low at an Oakland cafe and the bridal
pair will then depart for a honey
moon tour TO be spent in southern
