POLICE Think MARION
DERRIG IN HIDING HERE
Mysterious Woman Wanted as
Witness in Burke Dynamite
Case in Sonoma Co.

The San Francisco police, according
to a telegram received from that city
last night, are positive that Marian
Derrig, "the woman Of mystery" and
much wanted witness in the Burke
sanitarium dynamiting case, is in Los
Angeles or near this city.
Detective Browne of the district at
torney's office in this city declares that
he has a woman of mystery con-
nected in some way with the Burke
case under surveillance in this city,
but she is not Mrs. Derrig.
Whoever the mysterious woman is
she is believed by the authorities to
hold the key to the strange Sonoma
county mystery. AS yet however, no
arrest has been made.
The northern authorities are now
bending ever energy to verifying the
story Of Lou Eta Smith, the pr)sc-
cutting witness in the Burke case, and
the evidence Of the mysterious woman
is considered necessary to do this
, Following the arrest of Dr. Burke on
q charge of dynamiting the tent in
which Miss Smith and her baby were
sleeping the Smith woman disap-
peared. She was later located in
Japan and consented to return to this
country and become a witness against
Burke. Miss Smith arrived at San
Francisco on Friday and made a
statement III WIllCn SAe alleged That
she had been sent to Japan by persons
who did not want her to testify
against the accused physician She
said she had become willing to return
to this country because of the failure
of the persons who sent her to japan
to continue to extend financial aid to
her in that country In the course of
her story Miss Smith involved a mys-
terious woman, whose name she con-
fided only to the police, as the person
who furnished her the money to go to
Japan, This is the woman who is now
believed to be hiding in Los Angeles
and whom the detectives are so
anxious to locate and question.

Los ANGELES REVOLVER
CLUB HOLDS MATCHES
Annual Championship Shoot of U.
S. R. A. Now Being Held by
American Organizations

The outdoor championship matches
of the United States Revolver as
sociation came to a close at sundown
Yesterday The contests were for the
revolver and pistol championships of
the United States, and were held in
all the large cities of the country dur
ing the past week. A number of the
members of the Los Angeles Revolver
club took part in the events yesterday,
the local contests being held on the
Bishop street police range. OF the local
marksmen those who took part in the
tournament were: DR.. Packard, w. e.
Smith, A. B. Douglas, r. ]. Fraser, DR..
G. 1. Royce and l. G. Douglas.
DIR. Royce Is now in San Francisco
and shot his scores on the EmeryVille
range along with the northern cracks,
German, Armstrong, Harris, Prentys,
Linder and others.
OF the local marksmen, A. B. Doug
las made the best showing with a 38-
caliber six-shooter. He bored out the
score of 43S out of a possible 500, the
highest of the locals. Young Douglas
made the same total on the outdoor
range last summer and won fifth place
in the United States and the cham
pionship of the state of California. His
score this year will no doubt win state
honors.
In the pistol event DR.. PACKARD was
high for the locals with 433, and
Fraser was just one point behind him.
The pistol marksmen made a rather
poor showing, as they were not up to
form.
w. e. Smith did not perform his
usual stunts with the 22-caliber
weapon, and Fraser was also below his
average.
The conditions of the contests were
fifty shots a man at fifty yards on the
combined Standard American and In
ternational target, each contestant fin
ishing his score in one hour or less
from the time of firing the first shot.
Following are the results:

finally discovered a brace for my feet
which enabled me to reach down and

not SO high pro9ortiona:ely as wide.
and we succeeded in sliding over
them, coming down rather heavily on
the solid deck. Here the snow made
walking possible. although underneath
the ice was thick and smooth, COM

forecastle deck, leaving everything
shapeless and grotesque. Where the
slope was steepest. the wind had swept
away the snow leaving the Ice beneath
