A Team Became Frightened and Ran
Away, Killing the Driver-He
Was q G. A. II.
Man.

Coroner Gates held an inquest yester-
day morning upon the body of David
Hoover, who was killed by a runaway
team Saturday evening about O'Clock.
Hoover lived with ]. A. Brainerd at the

loading the wagon at Roselle's lumber
yard, corner Main and Jefferson streets.
Mr.. Hooverewas then left in charge and
he shortly afterward started for home.
In passing along Seventh street the
team became frightened and started to
run. By the aid of passers-by the
frightened animals were checked, but
their fright broke out anew later.
When Hoover reached the Occidental
college, about four miles east of the city,
the mules became uumanageable and
ran away. Some students of the college
saw the impending danger and went to
Hoover's assistance. The boys succeeded
in holding the frightened mules until
the old gentleman could regain his COM
posure. They then left him.
Hoover drove along until he reached
hill when the fractious animals began
running again.
The students started in pursuit just
in time to see Mr.. Hoover fall from the
wagon. He was dragged some distance.
When the boys reached him he was
found to be dead. He had struck upon
his forehead, and his skull was crushed
by the fall.
The body was taken to the undertak-
ing parlors of Orr & Co., where the in
quest was held yesterday.
Hoover was California pioneer, hav-
ing come to the etate in 1856. He had
made his home with Mr.. Brainerd for
some time. Previous to that he had
worked in this city for years, and was
well and fsvorably known. He was a
member of Frank Bartlett post, G. A.
R., and was t6 years of age.

Mr.. William Lacy, it is announced on
good authority, is to be transformed
from pleasure craft into q strictly
business vessel. The report could not
be corroborated from Mr.. Lacy nor his

when called on by reporter, but the
story is given as told by one OF the fam

1t appears that the yacht, which is
one of the fastest on the coast, has
lately been overhauled and put in shape
for sealing cruise. Her interior has
been arranged 30 as to give her carry
ing capacity for 5000 skins, and she has
been strengthened and adapted to the
hard work before her.
1t is announced that she will sail on
the 10th instant, and her cruise will
likely be a long one, extending, it is

Ir his game with this recognized
master, Lipschutz was unfortunate,
carelessly leaving his queen en- prise,
which forced him to resign after the
fourth move.
In spite OF this handicap he won,
however, the third prize.

A year later the New York Chess club
sent him to London as their champion,
to take part in the international tour

greatly to his own astonishment, he de-
feated Mackenzie and Zukertort in the
personal encounter and general score,

and Schailop, drawing With Blackburn.
In 1887 Mr.. Lipschutz won the cham.

In 1892 he acquired the title of cham

As matter OF course Mr.. Lipschutz
has had matters almost entirely his own

of the city being pitted against him.
The chess enthusiasts are looking for

the champion of America will win his

him about the employees interests.
To this committee the Judge stated
that he was not aware that the GER

did not read the order carefully be-
fore signing it, that Attorney Gest

present shape the so called Certifi-

than an evidence that the emplove
had so much wages coming to him;
that they were in NO sense re-
ceiver's certificate. Ne also said
that he did not know that the
wages were three months behind,
but thought they were paid up to
date, until he was enlightened by
the same source.
Now all Of these were most pc
