DISCARDED, SHE
WANTS $4,000
Woman Files Suit Against San
Francisco Millionaire
CLAIMS HE PROMISED
TO MARRY HER LAST MAY

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. Prank
thompson, who. snce he inherited
9l,OOO,OO0 from his father. CAPTAIN r.
thompson. who, since he Inherited
course along the pathways of pleas
ure, punctuated by a leeting suc-
oession of female charmers, was sued
Yesterday by one of the discarded
series, Artie K Bancroft. f>r $50 .O0O
damages for breach of promise of
marriage Artie reigned supreme i'm
his affections for almost seven months,
It is claimed. The idyll lasted until
last March, when it was terminated
by a prosaic request by Thompson 10
the police for assistance i'm obtaining
the return of his trunks containing
valuable papers and clothing. Glenn
ence Bordenave at that time had sun
planted Miss Bancroft in the affec-
tons of the tickle millionaire.
Artie for a time had TO go 'vav
back but she has come into the lime
light again with a demand that her
broken heart be cOmforted and her
purse replenished. May 81 last was
the date fixed for her marriage with
thompson she states. The promise
was made in September 1909. accord
ing to Artie. At that time Thomson
was separated from his wife. Ella
Gertrude Thompson, by an interlocu-
tory decree of divorce. Therefore. he
was not at liberty to remarry. The
final decree was issued May 25. 1910.
and the grieving plaintiff asserts that
her gay LothariO promised to marry
her two days after the final decree.
She scruples not to admit that fire.
quently she has requested him to car
ry out his promise and lead her to
the altar but always he has said.
Nay, nay, Artie," or words to that
effect.
In legal phraseology, she SAYS that
in thus refusing to take her for good
and all he is ''cOntriving and fradu-
lently intending craftily and subtly
to deceive and defraud her" About
$4,000 will make her forget and for
give the deceit, however. according
TO the last paragraph of her COM
plant. Choynski and Humphreys are
her attorneys.
FRANK thompson walked a very oh
scure path until he inherited 81 ,OOO. 900
from his father. Ever since he has
been the center of blaze of notoriety
First his wife obtained a divorce on
charges of excessive cruelty, with a
settlement of S150,000 for herself and
daughter. His name was next linked
with that of Hazel NOrhoff. upon
whom he sQuandered about $4,000 be-
fore the inevitable parting.
Following this there was talk on
the part of Thompson relatives of
having him declared incompetent and
asking the court to appoint a guar
dian for him. I'm a little while he had
become infatuated with Artie BAN
croft and later Clemence Bordenaye
entered his life Other soul mates
have retained his wandering atten-
tons for brief periods

Always conservative in his esti-

not more than one-third of the amount
in the California field-roughly speak

TO the lay mind that may seem a
very small amount. But just reduce
the barrels to railroad tank carloads.
An average tank car holds 225 barrels.
Consequently 1t would require 1885,

ber of cars would make up train 3D.

The Manning and Allison ranches consist of 8, 200 acres of rich ag-
 icultural land lying along the fertile Santa Cruz valley.
