WOMAN BEATEN BY
HER ANGRY HUBBY
Wife Complains of Cruelty and
Secures Decree to Dissolve
Their Marriage

OAKLAND, Dec 3I-"If he had
beaten me every time he got angry, l
would look like a piece of liver" was
the way Mrs. Francine McKellip char
acterized her husbands treatment of
her.
She was granted an interlocutory de-
cree of divorce today after testifying
that, although McKellip did not beat
her often enough to make her resemble
liver, still he did beat her sometimes.
She testified also to various other acts
of cruelty on his part, such as throw
ing soapsuds into her face after he
had washed his ears.
According to Frank A. McCuen, his
wife. Lulita, left him and wrote that
she could not bear to be away from
mamma The next he heard of the
wife, McCuen testified, was that she
had joined a theatrical troupe. He was
granted an interIocutory decree of di-
vorce on the ground of-desertion.
In a suit for divorce filed today a
long course of cruelty is outlined by
Mrs. Estelle Hickson against Samuel E..
Hickson, an engineer in the employ of
the Southern Pacific company. Mrs.
Hickson says that her husband twisted
her arm, knocked her down and put his
knees on her chest, and said 81 wish l

FIRES QUfNCHFD IN
NEW COUNTY JAIL
Water Gets Into Oil Tank and
Puts Heating Plant Out
of Business

OAKLAND. Dec. Glowing TO a
subterranean food in the new county
jail this morning there was no heat in
the building for several hours. The
flood caused the fire to be fed with
water instead of oil, with the result
that the heating plant of the jail col
lapsed. The prisoners were obliged to
run up and down in their corridors
TO keep warm.
Water got into the jail through a
manhole which is used to feed oil into
the tank. Clogging of debris near the
Jail turned a stream of water into the
manhOle during the night, which would
have done no harm if the cap C the
tank itself had been on tight. But il
had not been properly fastened down
and the result was that water rushed
into the tank 1t displaced the ell
which fiOated TO the top, and when the
engineer OF the jail this morning
turned on a cock that he thought
would give oil for the fires. water
came out
1t was necessary TO get hand pumps
and pump out the water from the tank
before fire could be made in the jail

granted today TO Mrs. Elizabeth NJ
Boardman from the matrimonial ties
that bound her to l. +. Boardman, as
sistant cashier of the Union Savings

mans fondness for another woman and
his consequent coldness toward his

ness on her husbands part that culmi-
mated in his desertion Of her in De-
cember, 1898. That incident was the
wearing OF g pin by him and her dis
coVery of what the pin meant. It was
with great reluctance that Mrs. Board
man testified about il. and, in fact, the
greatest secrecy has all along been
maintained as to the true cause of the
Boardman matrimonial jangle, which
has been much talked of in Oakland
society.
The pin was given 10 Boardman by
his affinity, as his wife afterward dis
covered. One day Mrs. Boardman saw
il under his coat and asked him where
lie got it,

examination he would not tell his wife
where he had found il. few days
later, while Mrs. Boardman was in her
bedroom she found a handsome leather
case that she had not seen before. She
opened il and found the pin, and with
it two photographs OF a young lady.
Just about this time bosrdman, having
remembered that he had left the tell
tale articles al home, rushed into the
house He saw that his wife had found
and examined them and stormed with
anger. He admitted on that occasion,
Mrs. Boardman testified, that the
