THE WORK OF HOODLUMS.
A Junk.Dea Killed for Shielding
n ChtnQman

SAN Francisco, July 2S.-Captain
Henry ]. Pippey, the well known junk
dealer of the City Front, died early this
morning at the Receiving Hospital.
Last night he was booked at the City
Prison as simple drunk, and his
death this morning caused an investi-
cation. Eye-witnesses have now been
found who state that while he
was walking along Sacramento street he
overlook three hoodlums abusing a
Chinaman. He shielded the Chinaman
when one of the hoodlums clipped up
behind him and dealt him blow on the
head. He fell inseneible. Some boys
near by secured some whisky and
poured it down his throat with
the hope of reviving him, and it was
this that caused the policeman to arrest
him on the charge of drunkenness. Ef-
forts to revive him were unsuccessful,
and finally policeman took him to the
Receiving Hospital, where he died this
morning without having regained con-
seriousness.

Pippey to the City Prison, made an in

that Pippey and his friend, Harry Horst

three hours Saturday afternoon, and
drank whisky in each place. He there
fore thinks Pippey's death was due to
alcoholism. The bruise on his head, he
says, could not have caused his death.

RlNGO'S REMORSE.

The Baseball Catcher Attempts Suicide
After q Drunken and Protracted Spree.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 12.-Frank Rim
go, the baseball catcher, made!a desperate
attempt to commit suicide yesterday
afternoon at three o'clock by taking NOR
phine at his residence, 1914 Virginia ave-
nue.. At three O'Clock this morning, just
twelve hours after he had taken the ter
r.ole narcotic, his physician, DR.. Lawson,
said that the chances were in favor of his
recovery. This was his second attempt at
suicide Ringo signed to catch with the
Kansas City club and reported here for
duty about the middle Of March. For sew
eral months prior to that time he had not
touchedwhisky,of which he is inordinately
fond. As soon, however, as he resumed
practice he began drinking, and for the
past two weeks has been on terrible
spree. Ringo was married on the first of
last January to Miss Emma Williams, of
Fort Scott Kan. Two years ago Ringo's
aunt's husband, E. E. Samuel, a promi-
nent commission merchant OF st. Louis,
threw himself from the bridge over the
river at Nashville, Tenn, and was
drowned. Liquor in this case also was
the cause of the act, Mr.. Samuel having
repeatedly endeavored to free himself
from the curse, but in vain.

Senate, being a political body, could not
act impartially in the case.
This assertion caused great uproar.
Members exchanged abusive epithets and
the scene was one of wild disorder. The
President of the Chamber repeatedly
called the house to order and urged the
members to observe moderation in the

than the raw material itself. Recent ex-

patrol upon the road or roads that are to
be taken, that shall prevent the settlers
from staying longer than necessary on the
way and requiring them to move on, max.
ing only the ordinary camps that may be
necessary for their crossing. There
Indians understand that by this passage
there is no disposition to appropriate their
lands and that it will be continued no
longer than absolutely necessary, after
the first migration to the Oklahoma country
is over. The military force should then
scour the Cherokee outlet and require all
persons unlawfully there to move on, either
back to Kansas or over into the Oklahoma
lands.D
The Secretary in another part of the
letter says he deems that the settlers are
entitled to as much consideration as had
been given to cattlemen and others here
tofore who have been permitted to travel
upon the trails and highways through this
outlet. 1t is urged upon the Secretary
among other reasons for granting this
permit that the settlers coming through
the Chickasaw and other Indian lands are
gathering on the immediate borders OF
the Oklahoma tract without obstruction,

disadvantage. No movement will be al.
