Gun Under pillow Good Fire Alarm.
While w. H. Richmond and his wife
went to the barn near his home at the
Nisbet place in the Bloomfield settle
ment, five miles from Macon, Ca, bur
glars went into his house and after
taking a fine gold watch set fire to the
bedding in one room and hastily made
their getaway from the place.
The robbery occurred about daylight
the other day. AS Mr.. Richmond and
his wife MIXED the COWS he heard two
pistol shots, which made a mufied
sound. Rushing to the house, he dis
covered the bedding and part OF the
interior Of the room on fire. The bur-
glars had escaped. A barrel Of water
setting on the north afforded the
means of extinguishing the fire, which
was rapidly spreading over the resi-
dence.
The firing OF the two pistol shots
was accomplished when the heat Of the
ignited bedding came in contact with
the thin barrel Of an automatic revolt
yer lying under the pillow.

Divorce.

According to E. K. Victor. German
consul for Richmond, the late Charles
G. Eckert, cabinetmaker, did not
have a wife in Germany when he mar
ried in Richmond. Mr.. Victor some
time ago wrote a letter to Judge
Grinnan, of the Chancery Court, In
which 1t was stated that information
which the German consul had received.
indicated that Mr.. Eckert had a liv-
in Virginia. This letter was attached
to the will which was probated last
Friday.
The object of the letter of Mr.
Victor was apparently for the pur-
pose Of forestalling a will on behalf
of son and supposed wife living In
Germany AT the time of receiving. the
letter Judge Grinnan replied to Mr.
Victor stating that 40 will OF Mr
Eckert had been probated. a few days
ago. however. the will was offered fol-
probate in the Chancery Court.

ton OF $1,000 in money. which he be-

Although Mr.. Victor said that he did
not write the letter for publication, 1t
was and is a public record pinned to the
will, on file in the Chancery Court,
along with the qualification OF the
executor and Judge Criminals reply to
Mr.. Victor.
Mr.. Victor said yesterday that he
had since writing Judge Grinnan seen
full and ample proof, that Eckert was
divorced from his wife In November,
1856, and that he did not marry again
until several years after. He mar
ried his last wife November, 1879.
