ON INGALLS, FARM.
A Grave in Which a Romantic Couple
Were Buried.

A Grave in Which a Romantic Couple
We're Buried.
In the center Of Senator ingalls, thirty
acre truck farm. surrounded By trees and
covered with bluegrass, is a grave which
evidently received considerable attention
for many years. 1t is supposed to contain
the remains Of an Indian girl and her pale
faced lover.
Away back in the early part of the cent
uary, when what Is now known as Kansas
belonged to the territory Of Louisiana, there
lived in a lonely hut on the bank of the
Missouri River an old Indian and his
daughter, who had wandered away from
some Southern tribe. One day white hunt
er stopped at the hut, having been lost in
the wilderness. He was taken sick the day
ne reached the place. and was nursed by the
Indian girl for several weeks until he re-
covered.
Tie girl fell desperately in love with her
patient. The man was already married.
and so explained to the girl. She was crazed
by her love, however, and the night before
the day set for his departure she crept to his
couch and shot an arrow through his heart
and then killed herself. The father found
the pair dead, and they we're buried to-
gether
The grave on Mr.. ingalls, truck farm is
supposed to contain all that is left of this
couple Mr.. Ingalls, says he will have the
grave opened some time, and ascertain, if
possible, what ii really does cOntain.-COTr.

INSURANCE NOTES.
Appointments Made by the Insur.
anCe Pool.

There has been little stirring in insurance
circles lately, both marine and fire under
writer's having an exceptional immunity
from losses and startling occurrences to
report. There was a 100000 loss at Los
Angeles recently. but the insurance was
comparatively light.
The main subject of interest TO the ma
rine underwriters has been the successful
formation of the insurance pool, which, as
already stated in THE CALL, has been car
ried through, though few details are still
in course Of adjustment. Captains George
Cumming, late Marine Surveyor of the
Thames and MeTsey, and John Metcalf,
Lloyds Surveyor in San Francisco, have
been appointed Surveyors OF the pool, and
the Office OF Secretary will be shortly filed.
The first vessel to come under the new rates
which the pool has established was the
large American ship Robert l.. Belknap,
which is being loaded by George W. McNear
The loss Of the schooner Sadie +. Caller
at Chignik Bay, Alaska, coming on top of
the recent losses of the Premier and the
DaShlng Wave has made the insurance men
rather shy of risks on vessels in the Alaska
trade. The Insurance on the Sadie f.
Callers hull, freight and cargo amounted to
about $4,000.
The members of the Association of Ma
Ilu6 I uu6TWfiteTS nave Deen invited by

V. d. Dubece is still in the East in the
interest Of the Pacific Equipment Company.
The com pany, which is composed of prom
inent Underwriters, has been organized for
the purpose OF putting in automatic sprin-
klers, which are soluble at given temper
allure. The compact proposes to reduce
rates materially on risks where the sprin-
klers are used.
Mr.. Duboce is making arrangements for
securing the necessary plant. The company
proposes to put up the .entire plant if the
owner OF the property will give it the
privilege OF placing his insurance for a term
OF years, and expects to make its profit out
of the rebate allowed for sprinkled risks.

Ter AIM WAS BAD.
Clara LuSter Takes a Shot at
Lawyer Quinlan.

The brilliant constellation of legal lights
that revOlyes around the Police Court orbit
came near losing one of its most illuStrious
component parts yesterday afternoon about
half-past o'clock by the efforts of Clara
Luster 20 perlorate the vitals Of Lawyer
Martin Quinlan with bullet from British
bulldog revolver.
Miss Tor Mrs.) Luster's intentions to de-
crease the number of Police Court attorneys
were frustrated by Quinlan'S activity in
wrestling the pistol from her hands and
handing her over to Officers Lake and
O'COnn0T, who charged her with assault to
murder al the Central Station.
Qainlan did not escape entirely skin
whole, for the epidermis of the third finger
of his right hand was gTaZed ana broken by
the bullet that the LusteT woman succeeded
IN dlSchargiDg at him.
AT the station the would be sh0Otress ac-
knOWledEed that she bad shot at Quinan,
and regretted vOlubly in broken German
that her aim had not been better. She said
that Quinlan had acted as her attorney sew
eral months ago IN case where she had
tried to have the proprietor of saloon
where she was employed as waitress con-
yicted for beating her. Quinlan's interest
in her was quite profound, and eliminated
in their living together as man and wife, he
representing himself as an unmarried mae.
This arrangement commenced in January
last, and a few days after, when she diScOv-
cred that she was in a delicate condition, she
besOught him to marry her as he had prom
iSed. He refused to do so, and she
tried to get a warrant out tor his ar
rest in the Police Court on charge of
seduction, but the legal machinery was
blocked and she was refused warrant.
According to her statement she again begged
Qunlan TO marry her, and be refused, sug-
costing at the same time rather questionable
ways for her to gain her living by. Finally,
finding that he would not do anything for
her she determined to kill him. She eX-
pressed her determination TO kill Quinlau
after having served heI sentence in case she
should be convicted.
Quinlan denied to the reporters most
strongly all the allegations of the woman
concerning their connections outside Of

road is expected to be completed by the end
Of the summer if all goes we'll. The road
will be extended to Powell and TAYLOR
streets, which will open new era of pros
perity for old North Beach.
THE ADVANTAGES SUMMARIZED.
One of the earliest results of the compile
ton of the Belt Railroad will be to relieve
the chronic congestion of freight traffic at
Fourth and Townsend streets Every mer-
chant doing large business on the south
side OF the city is aware Of the vexatOus de-
lays which occur TO teams fran the attempt
TO SHIFT long trains of freight-carS across the
main artery OF vChicu]ar traffic with South
San francisco. 1t Is not an uncommon
sight 10 see fifty vehicles halted for twenty
minutes at a time while trains are being
made up or cars shifted.
Secondly, manufacturers having factories
on the north side Of the city will have a
chance to compete with Eastern producers,
since the heavy expense Of transhipment
from Fourth and Townsend streets will be
removed Moreover, as the road will be
owned and exclusively controlled by the
State Board OF Harbor Commissioners,
there will be no danger of any company
m0n0pOliZing public streets with lines of
cars, Tor Its own accommodation, without
rental, and TO the constant obstruction of
regular traffic. The Harbor Commissioners
have already ordered their own engine,

accorded to the railroad companies being
