Instead Of killing himself, a. his friends
feared. Dr. CHALFANT. the San Francisco dem
tist has surrendered himself and told his story.
In brief 1t is this:
On Friday JOSIAH Bacon, the treasurer OF the
I, Goodyear Dental Nucanite Company brought
suit ngnnst him. put him through a harsh
examination in court and threatened to have
him locked up. On sunday he called
on BACON ut the latters room in tho hotel

IfScl him to be respectful. The dispute be-
~nihe hotter. and the pistol went or-how, Dr.
CHALFANT says. he does not know. further than
that 1t was not Intentionally fired By him. BA-
coz fell rose 10 his feet. and fell again-dead.
After waiting while for some one 20 come. he
left the hotel walked 10 the police station. where
he did not see any one and then wandered out
into the streets hardly conscious Of what he
was about Finding himself in a remote part
Of the city he sat down. stayed there until night
and then went to a hotel. Yesterday he carried
his intention OF giving himself up into effect
The trial will now be awaited with unusual
interest. both because OF the circumstances Of
the killing and the position OF the men.
Dentists are not in the habit Of killing persons.
JOSIAH BACON was not an ordinary man. His
business took him into all parts OF the country.
He is described as having been us stern and
ruthless in hunting down the dentists who re-
fused to pay royalties to his company as
| CLAvERHoUsE was in hunting down Covenant
ers. Naturally he made enemies. and the fact
is recalled that the fate which has now overtaken
him was predicted years ago.

felt as if something heavy was being
drawn through the water. He called
the fireman to his assistance.
Before II could bs drawn en-.
tirely up the line broke under the
strain, and the object, which proved to
be the body Of Theodore, floated to the
surface. The coroner was notified and
the body was taken from the water.
From the appearance Of the corpse 1t
seems as though il had been buried in
the mud. The face was discolored, hut
no marks of decay were visible. After
hearing the evidence Of the watchman
and fireman the Jury adjourned to meet
at 7.30 o'clock this evening.
Vincent lived in Salem, New jersey,
with his parents and was about twenty
six years'of age. His father was tele-

the Coroner to send the body on to

him, after full consideration Of the

evidence has been discovered, and In
which he charges Senator Kellogg with
certain acts pending the canvass before
the Legislature, II established, would
exclude him from his seat. 1t is believ
ed that Judge Spoford has no grounds
whatever for reopening the contest, but
