Mrs. Mae Lantz, 38, declared today
that she still is in love with DR.. Les
lie E. Bovik, who, she had testified,
seduced her, gave her love potions,
ruined her home and finally ended
their romance by accusing her of

A circuit court jury of nine men
and three women-one a matron
who frequently covered her face
with her hands during the testi-
mony-acquitted her last night of
Bovik's charge that she had at
tempted to extort $4,000 from him
under threat of running his reputa
ton. He still has a civil suit for
$150.000 pending against her.
He is As, slender, with graying

This Marriage Business
PuzzIing to Health Man

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. l. CUP)-
DR.. w. M. Dickie, state health dir
ector, looked at a table of figures
today and his mind went around
like two squirrels in cage. The
marriage business in California had
him practically in stitches.
DR.. Dickie looked for a decrease
ir marriages last month because of
the new state law requiring blood
tests and health examinations be-
fore licenses could be issued.
He gave himself a gold star when
San Francisco county showed a Ia
per cent decrease, with 387 mar
riages against 452 in October of
1888. He beamed when Los Angeles
reported an 18 per cent drop: Ven
tura county and Orange county
Gretna Greens of the southland
skidded 40 and 65 per cent respec-
lively
Then he groaned and reached for
an aspirin.
Plumas county showed a 200 per
cent increase in marriages. There
were two marriages last month;
none in October, 1888.
Alpine, Mono. Sierra and Trinity
counties reported business as US
ual"-no marriages in either Oc-
tober, 1889 or October, 1888.
Lake and Amador counties, a de-
crease of 100 per cent-no marriages
in October, and one each in the

oppose any attempt to oust State

not join the strike.
Varona, representative of the D.
700 strikers, denied the accusations.
The Filipinos are seeking a wage
increase of five cents an hour.
Currently they receive 25 cents for
field work and 30 cents in packing

Dust Bowl refugees have been
hastily recruited by growers to aid
the Japanese still in the fields to

CoLoRFUL STORY OF A
 HIKE OVER JOHNSON PASS
By Mrs. Ray Stafford
(Conclu sion) .


 Shoe pacs were still damp inside, but other than that our clothes were in good T order. With a hot breakfast to stimulate us we started out. Lynx creek was four miles down, where we would find people and Silver Tip where Bill Garden camped was three miles farther. It was 12 miles to the highway. We would have to make bet ter time than the day before.
 My heel hurt the day before. After the pacs had gotten wet they lost shape and they quickly began to rub the shin bones and the sore place on the heel. Be- fore we had gone mile 1imping. That couldn't go on. I was tense and strained from trying to humor the sching places. Pull off the pacs and go bare- footed. saaj -a
 The morning was warm and soft. The road was good. It was traveled over by 8 cat hauling to the mines. We walked steadily, watching the scenery in what Was to us, new country. Mountain passes and streams rus shing down them. Lakes and beauti ifu1, broad valley. Tn places the road was flooded. picked my way and if the water was bad, slipped on the pacs as pair of boots in order to keep my feet dry. The heavy pair of wool sox padded the sharp edges of rocks when we hit grav-l e1.
 Before noon we were at Lynx creek, an old location that was originally used as a roadhouse for the early travel over Johnson Pass, and later as camp for pla I cer mining. Ted Boyd and his aunt, both of whom we knew, took us in and we vi sitedl for an hour or more. We hadn't noticed, but almost with no signed of effort at a1lI 8 hot dinner was set the dining table | and at noon we were sitting down to what was not, as had been our fare the day be- 1 fore, hotcakes with ashes, over an open fire.

 We couldn't stop very long. After dinner we started down the road. I was still in sock feet. If only I had car ried along a pair of tennis shoes. The lovelinoss of Alaskan scenery followed us on each side. We reached and passed Si1 I yer Tip. Bill was gone, so we knew he would be at his highway camp and have the | cabin warm when got there.

TWO SEWARD YOUTHS GET A GOAT

TWO SEWARD YOUTHS GET GOAT Martin Uric and Jerry Proman, both of Seward, lads around IA years old, sallied forth Tuesday morning from the Uric cabin lat Snug Harbor, on the first goat hunt of their young lives. My, my, such tale las they will have to tell their grand children, for they shot simultaneously at la goat on Porcupine Island and after that Ethe goat was very dead. They had gone to lPorcupine Island over Kenai lake in Martini s boat equipped with outboard motor and they lost no time loading the goat in the boat and returning to the camp at Snug Har- D 2r with their trophy. Then they skinned land carved the goat and enj oyed some ele- Igant steaks.
 I Charles Hanson, whose homestead is on Kenai lake near Forest Acres, killed the first goat of the 1889 season in this sec- Ition, early Sunday morning just back of lhis cabin.

RAMBLERS RATED SECOND IN
VARSITY PARK LEAGUE

The Roxbury Ramblers, a colorful
local football aggregation, finished
second for the second consecutive year
in the Eastern Conference of the Var
sity Park League. The RambIers
were the only sepia team in that divi-
sion. The Jamaica Plain Pals won
first honors with Dorchester Buddies
finishing third. The Roxbury boys
lost only two games this season, one
to the Jamaica Plain Pals, to 0; the
other to the Dorchester Buddies by
default. All in all, the Ramblers did
we'll for team without the necessary
coaching and practice. They played
a hard-hitting, unorthodox brand of
football that completely bewildered
many better-coached and organized
team. Frannie Matthews, halfback;
Vic Kerr, left end; "Baldy" Martin,
right end; Johnny Thompson, left
tackle; and "Moby" Reddick, were the
mainstay of the Ramblers this year.
Matthews, former all-scholastic, was
positively indispensable with his
tricky, broken field running, scoring
about Is per cent of the Ramblers
touchdowns. Vic Kerr, hard-hitting
end, and Johnny Thompson, pulled
many game out of the rut with their
tackling and blocking.

an uproar. The East Boston sepia had
Albanese down twice, once in the first
for a nine-count and the second for
the toll of six. Albanese slugged it
out with Silva in the last canto, to be
outfought and outgeneraled, thus win
ming the praise of the sport scribes
for being the outstanding boxer of the
evening.
John Grimes, ITS, Colored punchster
of Philadelphia, now fighting out of
Boston, dropped a very unpopular de-
cision to Pat Devine, white, N. E.
champion of Cambridge. Grimes, who
is of Cherokee Indian descent, was the
aggressor throughout the contest,
mailing his more-experienced opponent
with bombasting right-hands to the
jaw and body, slowing him down to
walk. Particularly, in the third and
final stanza did Grimes sparkle with
his punching ability. The two warri-
ors, fighting a nip-and-tuck, Grimes
left-jabbed the N. E. champion, using
a sharp and jolting right-hand upper
cut to the body with a scoring effect.
The officials astounded the fans when
they awarded the fight to Devine.
The twenty-fifth bout of the evening
was a sizzling affair with Eugene
Bouldin, lat, Providence, Colored mitt-
ster facing Billy Tordiglione, white,
lat, Boston, the Golden Glove Cham
pion. Bouldin dropped the champion
for no-count in the second frame

covered to win the fight and the class.
