ON Market Street Last EYenine

e. A. Seaberg Narrowly Escaped Death
Market Street Last Evening.
e. A. Seaberg, a seaman, residing at
606 Linden avenue, was Knocked down
and seriously injured last evening by g
Castro-street car on Market street, near
Powell.
Mr.. Seaberg and his wife were on car
going toward the ferries and on reaching
Powell street they alighted and were on
their way to the sidewalk when car COM
ing in the opposite direction struck Sea-
berg, knocked him down, and before the
car could be stopped he was dragged quite
a distance. Ii was several minutes before
he could be released from his unpleasant
position.
A mum Der of men who witnessed the
accident picked Seaberg up and carried
him into a convenient drugstore, where his
face, which was quite badly bruised, was
dressed.
Although suffering severely from the
shock and his bruises, Seaberg refused to
90 to the hospital, so hack was procured
and he was driven to his residence.

the scene of the hold-up to the beach
near the Olympic Water Company's pier
and there buried the sack containing the
stolen coin.
The discovery and subsequent arrest
was directly attributable to Edward Willis,
the superintendent of the water COM
pany's pier, who found the sacks embedded
in the sand under the pier.
At S:25 last night the patrol-wagon,
loaded with officers armed with Winches-
tiers, left for the beach, a number of officers
through Detective Gibson, having been To-
Gated there during the day.
There the robbers and portion of their
booty were found and returned to the
City Hall.
1t was one of the boldest hold-ups re-
corded in the criminal annals of the last
half-year, and the speedy capture reflects
credit on the Police Department..
The news Of the capture OF the two rob-
bers caused the greatest excitement at
police headquarters. Captain Lees was ex-
planning by map to lot of newspaper
men the routes that the robbers could have
taken after the hold-up, particularly the
Almshouse road route, where Lieutenant
Burke discovered the marks of wagon
wheels leading from the Ingleside hotel
for about a mile.
This was about 500 o'clock and the cap
tain was called to the telephone. In a
minute or so he came along the passage at
rapid gait shouting. "We've got them
We've got them 70 He Immediately or
dered Sergeant Colby to get the patrol
wagon ready, and throwing on his over
coat he passed out of the office downstairs
to the wagon, followed by an eager throng.
To all he would only vouchsafe the in
formation that We've got them" but he
would not say how many or where they
had been captured. He and Sergeant
Colby drove off in the wagon.
After two hours the Captain returned in
hack accompanied by Detectives Gibson,
and Cody and with Middlemass in charge
A few minutes later the patrol wagon
arrived with Gardner. He was escorted
by Detectives Silvey, Crockett, Reynolds,
Graham, Wren and Campbell, each armed
with Winchester.
The news of the arrests seemed to have
spread rapidly, as a crowd had congre-
gated in the corridor, and there was such
an eager desire to get a glimpse of the
prisoners that a policeman had to be de-
tailed to keep them from crowding into
the office. Secretary Leake of the Race
track Association and Police Commits
sioner Gunst were among the first to ar
rive, and the latter was delighted at the
creditable and quick work done in captur-
ing the robbers.

The proprietols of the Mercantile Toilet

In an interview yesterday B. B. GalIand
said:
None of our employees work earlier

o'clock P. NJ, except twice a week, when
they remain until $3.50 P. NJ. This is an
arrangement made for their own con-

Saturday afternoons at o'clock They

two evenings that they work here one

VICTIMS OF THE RUNAWAY.
Mrs. f. r. Dimond and Mrs. JOSEPH
Tobin Are Much Better.

Mrs. f. r. Dimond and Mrs. Joseph
Tobin Are Much Better.
The many friends of Mrs. Edwin R..
Dimond and Mrs. Joseph Tobin, who were
injured in runaway accident on Pacific
avenue, near Van Ness, on Wednesday
afternoon, will be greatly pleased to learn
that the nature of the ladies' injuries is
not as serious as it was at first ex-
pected it would be. DR.. Charles
II. Rosenthal, the family physician,
states that they have recovered from the
shock, and he expects both ladies will be
able to be about in week or ten days.
There was special cause for rejoicing in
the family when the physician examined
Mrs. Tobin face yesterday and announced
that the cuts and bruises can be healed
without dis6guring her. When she was
taken to General Dimond's house, 2222
Washington street, the injuries caused
the belief that she would be permanently
disfgured. The cuts on her hands will
not be noticeable in few weeks.
Mrs. Dimond's injuries were not SC
serious. She, too, sustained several cuts
about the head, face and hands, but they
will soon heal. The family received MANY
inquiries from solicitous friends yesterday
and all were much relieved to learn that
the injuries will not necessarily prove
serious

How the HighWaymen Were Cap

three robbers runs as follows:
About 1880 or o clock this morning Edward
Willis, the superin tendent of the Olympic
Water Works, under the Cliff House, started to
inspect the piers according to his daily Gust ON.
Under the seventh pier he noticed Il strap

Willis meanwhile had removed the pouch TO
the engine-house, where he reburied it.

All of the Adult Collateral Heirs
Have Received Their
Coin.
ONE MORE MOVE TO MAKE.
Seven More Minor Legatees Are to Be
Gathered In Before Dividing
the Estate.

The distribution of the millions of dol
lars left by the late James G. Fair within
very short period OF time is now a we'll
assured fact
Aside from the direct heirs there are
some fifty-six collateral heirs and other
legatees who have had to be attended to so
as to prevent tedious and expensive litiga-
ton.
Even the direct heirs at first had griev-
ances imaginary or otherwise, which have
been wiped out, and now they are on such
an amicable standing that they have de-
cided to at first gather in all outside claims
and to then cut up the late ex-Senator's
vast wealth according to their ideas.
So as to bring the completely of the case
into a nutshell that 1t might better be
dealt with Attorney John A. Percy placed
himself in communication with the thirty
six adult heirs resident in Iowa, compris-
ing the brothers and sisters of the deceased
millionaire and their adult children.
They rested their claims with him and a
settlement was speedily reached by which
the $640,000 aggregate legacies in the will
was Immediately paid over; also about
$500, 900 more for interest and as an induce
ment to some of the heirs who felt they
had not been properly recognized.
Thirteen more minor heirs, also in Iowa,
were made wards of Attorney Percy last
Tuesday in the Probate Court and their
aggregate claims, amounting 10 about
$100 900, will soon follow the same line Of
settlement as in the cases of the adults.
This leaves seven more minor heirs, five
of whom are in the East and two in San
Jose. As soon as they are gathered in the
fold the direct heirs will divide the vast
estate on the lines drawn in the will.
The trustees, under the will of the dead
millionaire, will of course maintain their
position so long as they are supported by
the courts. They have shown no DISPOSE
ton of abandoning their trust.
