BALDWIN'S ESCAPE
Gay Millionaire Once More
Proves Lucky.
AN ATTEMPT MADE UPON HIS LIFE
Lillian Ashley' Sister Sboota at
Aged Lothario She Narrowly
Missed Her Mark.
the
WOBKIXO FOB TKLLKKi
to Tat
San Fhancisco, July 2. During the
progrees of Lillian Ashley's suit against
E. J. Baldwin for $75,000 for seduction,
this morning, Emma Ashley, a Bister of
Lillian, tried to shoot the millionaire de
fendant. She fired at Baldwin, but the
ballet missed.
Lillian Ashley was in the witness chair
on cross-examination. She testified yes
terday that she has never worn her hair
crimped. This morning the defense had
a picture of her showicg her hair dressed
with crimps of extraordinary size.
Asked if it was her picture Lillian said :
"It way be me, bat I don't think so."
At these words Emma Amenda Ashley,
a sister of the plaintiff, rose from her
eat carrying a small bag and walked
behind the chair where "Lucky" Bald
win was sitting. From the bag she took
a revolver which she leveled at Bald
win's head, the muzzle being two inches
from his skull. She tried to pull the
trigger, but could not and had to use
both hands. Every one was engrossed
with the testimony, and nobody knew
Baldwin's danger till the report of the
pistol was beard. It had missed Bald
win's head and Emma A6hley was trying
to fire again, but the pistol did not dis
cbarge readily. H. A. Unruh, Baldwin's
business manager, was the first to grasp
the situation, and jumped towards the
woman and struck her a violent blow on
the wrist and wrested the pistol from
her grasp.
Lillian Ashley turned pale and almost
fainted in the witness chair. Attorney
James Crittenton, for the defense,
rushed to the assistance of Emma Ash
ley, putting hi band in his pistol pocket.
Unruh covered Crittenton with Emma's
pistol, but Crittenton drew his pistol
and the spectators thought more shoot
ing would follow. Attorneys Lloyd and
Highton and the court officials came be
tween the excited men, and the clerk
of the court took the revolvers from
them. Meantime Emma Ashley had
ran across followed by Baldwin, who
thought she had' another pistol. Bald
win held Emma until the bailiff es
corted her to the city prison, where she
was booked on a charge of assault to
commit murder.
Emma Ashley is believed to be insane,
Daring the trial she has spent her time
in court reading the Bible. When taken
to jail she sang "Nearer My God to
Thee" in a loud voice.
Baldwin was crazy with rage and
wanted a chance to fight some one. His
hair was singed by the powder and the
ballet passed within an inch of his head
His escape is ascribed to the woman's
inexperience with firearms. The pistol
was thrown upward by recoil after the
trigger was pulled.
Judge Slack was the coolest man in
court, and soon restored order by citing
Unruh and Crittenden to show cause to
morrow why they should not be pun'
Isbed for contempt, one in pointing t
weapon at Crittenden and the latter for
carrying a pistol. The judge would hear
no explanations. The bullet was found
in the wall fifteen feet from Judge
Slack's chair.
;' Everyone in the courtroom was asked
if he or she was armed. All replying in
the negative, the case was about to be
resumed when Lillian Ashley, the
nlaintiff. broke down.
"My baby is sick and I'm afraid she
is going to die," she cried ; "my sister
my baby."
Court was then adjourned and the
case continued until next Monday.
Friends of the Silver Man Bops
Get Him Nominated.
Chicago, July 2. Senator Dubois and
Congressmen Sbafroth and Towne and
Senator Lee Mantle have been very 'ac
tive in conferring with different delega
tions already here in' the interest of the
candidacy of Henry M. Teller. Yester
day Senator Dubois was closeted with
Senator Blackburn for a considerable
time, but the latter refused to discuss
the matter. The Teller men were also
n conference with the leaders in other
delegations. v
Dr. H. S. Taylor, a member of the
Populist national committee and a man
very close to Chairman Taubeneck, ap
peared at the Sherman house and stated
that the Populist would in all probabil
ity nominate Senator Teller, but that
they would not take up Bland or any
other man who has been affiliated with
the Democratic party at present.
The Teller men are simply waiting for
something to turn up that will give their
candidate a show as a dark horse, and it
is understood they have received much
encouragement at the hands of several
delegations who, while they could . not
support Teller at the start, might go to
him in case of an emergency as a com
promise candidate. That a boH will
come they feel sure, and that will be
their opportunity.
Hon. Charles S. Thomas and the Colo
rado delegation will reach here Friday
night or Saturday, and it is stated will
push Teller for all they are worth.

CONSTIPATION
SHOULD not be regarded as
a trifling ailment in fact, nature
demands the utmost regularity of
the bowels, and any deviation
from this demand paves the way
often to serious danger. It is
quite as necessary to remove
impure accumulations from the
bowels as it is to eat or sleep, and
no health can be expected where
a costive habit of body prevails.
SICK HEADACHE!
This distressing affliction occurs mrat frmuenfltr.
The disturbance of the stomach, arising from the
imperfectly digested contents, causes a severe pain in
the head, accompanied with disagreeable nausea, and
this constitutes what is popularly known as Sick
Headache, for the relief of which take Simmons
Liver Regulator or Medicine.
