MRS. FL. BURRITT
DIVORCES ATTORNEY
Former Judge in Philippines. Ac.
cused OF Cruelty and Threats
Against Life
ESPECIAL Dispatch to The Call

RENO, July 15.-Mrs Florence L.
Burritt secured a decree of divorce
this afternoon from Charles H. Bur-
ritt an attorney and former federal
judge in the Philippines. He was also
a major in the Philippines during the
Spanish American war.
Mrs. Burritt alleged extreme cruelty
and no time was lost after the fling
of the complaint, July. 1s, to rush the
matter through. Burritt answered the
complaint yesterday
Mrs. Burritt left this evening for
San Francisco, where she will join her
sister, Mrs. c. A. Biddle, whose husband
owns the fashionable Hotel Savoy in
Shanghai. The sisters will leave for
China Immediately.
The Burritts were married in Gree
ley, Colo, March %, 1907 having met
in the Philippines. Mrs. Burritt testi-
fled that when she was drinking a cup
of milk, March 20. her husband took it
from her, choked her and called her
the most unnatural woman he had ever
seen and said that she drinking her
babys milk. He threatened to kill her.
but relented on account of her being
the mother of his child.
Mrs. Burritt complained that her hus-
band often told her in public that she
was unfit to be the mother of his child
On other occasions he called her a mur-
deress. She explained this byS saying
that Burritt accused her of trying to
murder their child when. she fell into
ditch and insinuated that she bribed
a boy to throw her daughter into the
water. Shortly after this, she testified
he struck her on the face when she
asked him to take bath.
The child, Florence Adela, may be
seen by the father once every three
months. Inasmuch as Mrs. Burritt has
set out for Shanghai, this portion of
the courts order will be hard to com
ply with.

RICH Man SHOOTS
WOMAN; KILLS SELF
Mysterious Tragedy Enacted in
Office of Millionaire Before
Witnesses

CHICAGO, July 15.-Charles w. Rig
den. 65 years old, well known for many
years in Chicag real estate circles and
father Of Jay A. Rigden, assistant
cashier of the Hibernian banking asso-
citation, seriously wounded Mrs. Emma
Deufox, a young widow. and then shot
and killed himself in the office of John
c. Feber in a downtown office building
here late today.
Police Inspector LAWN says the shoot
ing is the outgrowth of a romance in
which love and business were tangled
The police say Mrs. Deufex has been q
close friend OF RisGor.ls for several
money and stocks and then had quar-
relied with her. Mrs. Deufex, say the
police, called upon Rigdon to carry out
certain alleged promises and, despite
him and in attempting to effect a set
t1ement.
Mrs. Deufex was accompanied to the
Feber offices, where Rigdon had pri-
vate room, by Miss Mary Wilson of
Hinsdale ILL.,, and Mr.. Feber talked
with the two women before the shoot
ing, but the police have been unable to
discover the exact conversation that
took place between Rigdon and Mrs.
Deufex.
Pending a coroner's inquest Mrs. Deu-
fex is being treated under guard at st.
Luke's hospital and Miss Wilson is held
prisoner at the Harrison street police
station. Inspector DAWN ha been able
to learn little regarding Mrs. Deufex
or Miss Wilson, although Mrs. Deufex
is said to be from st. Paul and to have
sister in a Wisconsin convent.
Two unsigned letters found in the
dead mans coat have been secured by
the police and tsre being used in efforts
to unravel the tragedy. Both letters
were written by a woman. One Sc
verely criticises Rigdon and the other
addresses him in endearing terms
The police are attempting to secure
information from F'eber, who seems dis
inclined to talk ofsthe tragedy. Feber.
rated as millionaire, is a former mem
Der of the Chicago board of education,
was receiver for the local bank wrecked
by Paul C. Ctensland, and for a number
of years was real estate manager for
the Mccormick estate.
Rigden recently returned to Chicago
from an extended western trip. He is
said to have made an extensive deal in
Nevada mining property while in this
city.

CAUSED PLUNGE
Miss Mary Wilkes Friends
Deny Story of Attempted
Suicide

That Miss Mary Wilkie, who nearly
lost her life in Lake Tahoe last Tues.
day, was overcome by the heat and fel
into the water is the theory of hel
friends who were with her at the time
This also is the belief of Arthur r
Mitchell, the young realty broker OF
Oakland, whose name was linked with
that of Miss wiIkie
Mitchell returned yesterday from the
lake and denied emphatically that the
young woman had sought to drown her
self after a quarrel with him. lie
said that they had met but recently
and were only casual friends
As he tells the story he and the
young woman were members of party
of 80. who were touring the lake in
two launches. On arriving at McKin-
ney's several disembarked, includfng g
the girl and himself. They sat for
some time on the wharf chatting, when
Mitchell descended the steps on one
side of the wharf to talk with some
friends in one of the launches. He was
away about 10 minutes when he heard a
scream and fastened to the top of the
wharf, where he saw Captain Hotchkiss
of the launch Aileen dragging Miss
W IKE IiOul lIS water
As no one actually saw Miss Wilkie
fail into the water it is the thory that
while walking near the edge of the
pier. she either tainted from the heat
or became overbalanced and fell in
After Miss Wilkie had been provided
with dry clothes she accompanied the
party back to camp and on the way
stated to her friends that the oar
which was thrown TO her by Captain
HOtClliSS was most welcome.
The reports sent down from the
lake were grossly exaggerated said
Mitchell in discussing the incident. TT
was stated that Miss Wilkie and myself
were old friends and had quarreled just
before she was seen in the water. This
is absolutely untrue, as / only met Miss
WiIkie a week ago while on my vaca-
tion and we were merely casual
friends. There was no quarrel at all
and my opinion is that she became
overcome by the heat while walking
near the edge of the pier. and toppled
into the water. The story is the result
of gossip among guests who had moth
ing else to talk about"

RENO ALTITUDE SLOWLY
SAPPING MANS LIFE
Victim Struggling to Earn Fare
TO Coast
ISpeeiaI Dispatch 10 The CALI

RENO. July IA man is dying in
Reno because he has not the fare to
take him to the lower altitude, which
means life to him. Shortly after noon
II. Cattle was brought to the police
station charged with peddling without
a license. The sight of the man with
his bIoodless face and features, his
body racked and quivering with a ma
larial fever. softened even the authori-
ties. Released by the tacit consent of
the police, the young man tottered to
the street and set forth again on his
task of securing a few dollars to de-
fray his expenses to the coast before
the rarifed air, deadly to him, claimed
him as victim.
The youth, who is about % years
years of age and who gave him name
as H. Cattle, said that he came here
from San Francisco a few days before
the big fight. Continued sickness had
left him without resources and he
beat his way here in the hope of earn
ing some money.
Almost as soon as he arrived the
altitude gripped him. Piercing pains
shot through his body and for two
days he could do nothing save lie in
his bed in the wretched lodging house
where he slept. The strange malady
had deprived him entirely of an appe-
tite. Then several days ago he went
to the county hospital. Yesterday he
was released on the doctors orders
that he go at once to a point nearer.

Disadvantage to This City

The rate on baking powder from all
eastern points to Reno runs from $3.50
to $216, while the San Francisco COM
bination rate is 1922. The rate on
canned fish from Missouri river points
is $40 per 100 pounds in less than
carload lots. The same goods shipped
in less than carload lots to this city
and then back to Reno would cost
$1.431a per 100 pounds. Green coffee
from Missouri river points would go
direct to Reno at IS cents a hundred
pounds. For Reno to buy the coffee
and ship it to this city and then back
to Reno would cost s1.2s1s per 100
pounds.
The table shows similar disadvant-
age for San Francisco in every COM
modify listed.
