had some little talk about It.
MIR. Cary-And Milwaukee is city a
little larger than Washington, which
hauls its coal from Buffalo, about loo
miles or more, upon the lakes, while
Washington, I do not think, has TO
carry its coal that far. Yet we gre able

Mr.. Goldsborough-Don't they use

Mr.. Cary-Lately the Semet-Solvay

Extension of a Main.

Now, you can not very well pay for
the extension of a main on Twenty

invested in a main on Twenty-second
street, so that this rather loose talk

ready invested in plant, Is not very

MARRIAGE A SECRET
|. FOR MANY MONTHS
Former Carnival Queen of San
Rafael Claimed as Bride
Last Year

SAN RAFAEL, Jan. 4.-The romantic
elopement and marriage of pretty
carnival queen and a young electrical
engineer came to light today when
Mrs. Thomas Nichoe, formerly Miss
Nettie Koenig. announced her marriage
after having kept it a secret for nearly
10 months.
At the time of the carnival here in
September, 1908, Queen Nettie was at
the zenith of her popularity, and had a
host of ardent admirers.
Then came the mask ball, when
Queen Nettie in all her regal robes led
the grand march with a diamond ring
cleaning on the third finger of her
left hand The rumor of her engage
ment was emphatically denied by Mrs.
e. Koenig, the young woman's mother,
as well as by Queen Nettie herself.
When the excitement of carnival days
subsidized the queen returned to her
journalistic duties on a local newspa-
per, and young Nichols accepted a po-
sition with the Spreckels sugar refinery
at Salinas.
Then the young couple announced to
their parents their intention of getting
married.
You are both too young; watt was
the discouraging advice they received.
But the young electrical engineer re-
fused to allow the current OF his love
to be short circuited so easily.
Lets elope,' he suggested. His
perseverance won. They eloped to Sui
sun March 4, 1909, and were married
by justice of the peace. Then Queen
Nettie returned to San Rafael, and her
young husband went back to his cleo
trical work at Salinas.
Meanwhile the parents were ignorant
of the little journey and the forbidden

INJURIES FATAL TO
BRADBURY'S ENEMY
James S. McCue, Who Prose-
cuted Millionaire, Dies at
His Country Home
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

CORTE MADEIRA, Jan. 4-James S.
McCue, one of the most picturesque
characters of early California life and
better known of late through his con-
nection with the millionaire, William
B. Bradbury, is dead.
He passed away at his home here at
O'Clock this afternoon as the result of
injuries received three weeks ago when
lided with another occupied by Enos
Foster, Larkspur dairyman.
McCue's effort to appear well at
Christmas time caused the fatal re-
lapse. He disregarded the advice of
his wife and DR.. j. E. McCue, his ply
sician, and left his bed to greet his
many friends at San Rafael. While
there he announced that he had for
given his old enemy, Bradbury. He
told how Bradbury had threatened to
send him to the poorhouse and how he
had sent the millionaire to San Quen-
tin instead. 1t was observed at that
time that his mind was not clear and
that he was very weak.
NOTED AS STAGE OWNER
McCue was born in Stark county,
Ohio, in 1890. When still a boy he
came to California around the Horn,
and began life in the west as a stage
driver he plOSpSIcu, anu DIT one time
