year-od son, who bears his full name. was
accustomed to go to the building and ac-
company him home. The little fellow
went as usual to meet his father, and was
carried home corpse. While at play
about the building he wandered UP
the stairs until he reached the fourth
floor, where his attention was attracted
by the converter. He had never seen any
thing of the kind before, and its peculiar
shape excited his curiosity. He knew moth
ing of electricity, and was not aware of the
deadly nature of the current circulating
through the iron box. The window-sll was
TOO high to permit him to easily examine the
converter. so he climbed upon a Steamboat
radiator, and while on his knees reached out
and touched the converter with his hands.
The Steam pipes running to the ground COM
pleted a circuit, and in an instant with
gasp and a groan, the boy sank on the
window-sill, dead. Robert w. Beach. who
was in an apartment near by, heard the boy
groan and ran forward and removed him
from contact with the converter, and laid
him on the floor. A physician was SUM-
moned, but life was already extinct The
little body was taken up and placed on a
tab in The Office Of James L. McLane until
DR.. Alexander Hill, Coroner, decided that an
Inquest was not necessary, when 1t was re-
moved to the fathers home.

Tournament

Unlocked for Result of the Lawn Tennis
Tournament
The results Zip to last night of the Pacific
Coast Lawn Tennis Tournament at the
ympic grounds were entirely unlocked
for, as it left to J. U. Haley the right to
claim the championship through the default
OF Joseph Tobin, who, everybody thought,
would be sure to win.
The games between the finals of the four
classes began at 10 o'clock in the morning,
and, luckily so, for at noon the fog drove in
ike a bank, and though there was some
praetcing in the afternoon the balls only
made holes in the f 9. Haley and HarrOn
were first pittPd together. BaFron was
scratch and Haley was given 10 as his ad-
vantage. 1t took four games of the fifth to
decide that HarTon's handicap was too much
for him. Haley won the first, second and
fourth games, while Harron got the third.
The scores were-6 to l, 6to "a TO 6 and 6 to 4.
Tnbin then went into the court with Lar
kin under a remarkably hard handicap. lie
stood minus 80 while LarSiu was given Is,
difference OF 45 points With them, as with
Haley and HaTrOn, it took four games, and,
as with them again, the loser won the third
game. The score stood at the close as fol
lows: 6 to I, 9 to Z. 4 to 6 and to5
At this point ToDin said he had an urgent
engagement that even the championship
was not enough to make him break and he
left the grounds. Haley had a right to
claim the championship by default of ap-
pearance, but he has not yet announced his
intention.

FACTS AND FIGURES
Taken From the Invoice Books of the
Friedman Stock.

The inventory of the B. Friedman
stock of goods, as stated in Saturdays
LEAF CHRONICLE, has been COM
pleted.
The inventory was superintendent
by j. w. McGehee and Albert Lieber,
men who know what piece OF
goods is worth, and men who will do
the fair thing in whatever they
undertake.
The invoice books now in the
hands of Receiver GholsOn show the
estimated cost of the gc1ds now in
the house, to b. Friedman, to be
$l9,0O2.45. The appraised value is
put at $l7, 723.06. The furniture is
valued at 1920, and accounts at 5000 90,
This will make the total value $751;
0l3.26. The accounts, however, are
in the main of little value. If fifty
cents on the dollar can be realized on
them the receiver will be satisfied.
When l.. Jonas took charge of the
stock he valued it at $l3, 732.Ol. He
also valued the furniture at $2iG.50,
which, added to the accounts due the
assignor, male total of $I4,l7S.74
This shows difference in the two in
ventories Of $3,SGI.52 in favor of the
one made by the court receiver.
l.. Jonas kept the house open eight
days, working all the time six good
statesmen. His books show that in
the eight days the sales amounted to
$s32.73, or an average of $l7.66S per
day to a salesman. 1t is the general
belief among those who have been
watching the business that the sales
should have amounted to three times
the above amount. 1t is also
fact that l.. Jonas has only $442.36 to
his credit in bank here as assignee for
b. Friedman.
Receiver Gholson has not yet de-
cided what disposition he will make
OF the stock, whether he will sell il
at retail or at wholesale.

of stealing street car tickets, valued

collections, and then on examination
missed packages to the above
amount. The car drivers were mott
fled to keep watch for the man drop
ping unsigned tickets in the box, and
soon caught Wilson. 1t is now I'M
derstood that he is an ex-convict. He
was employed some time since as
janitor for the offices in the Bailey
building, where Mr.. Dortch's office
is.
Many little things were missing
AMI he was discharged. But it
seems that he has keys to all OF the
Offices and has been making them
