How He Built Ten Stories,


Capt Ed Fl. Webster, of Kansas City,
said: The ten story building of the west
ern city is what somebody in the town
must erect. The somebody is ordinarily
wrecker. He knows when he begins
the scheme that he will never live to en-
joy the income of the structure, or be a
victim Of its collapse. He just wants to
have it said that he built the ten story
affair and he is ready to quit. / know a
ten story affair that was built on the fol-
lowing pattern:
The man had 5000 cash. He leased
corner in block and put in his foun-
.dation. Then he mortgaged it for $25,-
and three stories. Then he put on Sec
ond mortgage of $4,000, and with that
the structure was run up three stories
higher. Then he placed third mort
gage on the building, which put it un-
DER roof He finished it off and rented
every Office, and every tenant found
himself confronted with a garnishee by
the mechanics who had liens.
These mechanics collected the rents of
that building until rich woman came
along and bought the whole edifice, in
cluding the lease. But the ambitious
fellow who had run up the sky scraper
had his name on a stone over the en-
trance, and he seemed to be happy
There is a good deal of that sort of thing
going on in the country.-Chicago Trib:

TWO DROWNINGS.
TWO INQUESTs. HELD BY THE COR
ONER YESTERDAY.
dent-Mrs. Wells's Body Recovered at
the Duarte.

The coroner held an inquest Yesterday
morning at Santa Monica on the body OF
William w. Wright, the young man who
was drowned Thursday afternoon while
out boating with w. II. Robinson. The
story OF the accident, as told by Robin
son, is as follows: The two men bor-
rowed a small flat-bottomed rowboat and
pulled out to sea about two miles.
Neither was an experienced boatman,
but they met with no accident till they
approached the breakers, which were
running high about 200 yards from shore,
on the return trip.
Both were rowing, but in some way
the boat got side on to the waves
and Wright was tipped out. Robinson
knew that his companion could not
swim, and he jumped out to assist him
into the boat. He got hold of Wright
and held him up for some time but
finally he became exhausted and had to
make back for the boat, which, by this
time, had become caIsized.
Wright was never seen after Robinson
left him and the body was not recovered
till yesterday morning. The survivor
of the accident denied that either
of the men were drunk OF that
they had been scuffiing in the boat.
Wright was II years of age, and former
ly worked for the Western Union tele-
graph company, in Los Angeles. The
verdict of the jury was that it was
case of accidental drowning.
Coroner Weldon was summoned to
Duarte again yesterday afternoon to
hold an inquest on the body of Mrs.
Wells, who, with her husband and
baby, was drowned about half mile
below that place last Monday morning.
The story of the accident, as it was
brought out at the inquest on the body
of the husband, has already been print
ed. Mrs. Wells's body was recovered
yesterday, but that of the baby has not
vet been found.
