AN ESCAPE FROM HOUNDS.
Undesirable Experience of Boy Pursued
bya Hunters Pack.

Undesirable Experience Of Boy Pursued
by a Hunters Pack.
A small boy playing the part of the
fox in an exciting chase on the Cedar
Hollow hills near Phenixville, Pa,
says the Philadelphia Record, narrow
ly escaped being torn to pieces by a
pack of hounds the other day. The
dogs had not enjoyed run for weeks,
and their owner decided to give them
little exercise. Taking bag from the
box in which he keeps several foxes,
and which the Reynards slept upon, he
gave it to a boy. He told the lad to
drag the heavily-scented bag across the
hills, and he would turn loose the
hounds. The boy had long start and
had disappeared beyond the brow of
distant knoll when the owner released
the eager dogs. Around they circled
until one of them struck the trail, and
away they dashed in pursuit of the
bogus fox.
Instantly a great fear seized the hun
ter 1t dawned upon him that if the
hounds overlook the lad they would
tear him to pieces. Without longer
hesitating he rushed to the stable,
bridled horse and galloped in pursuit
of the baying hounds. They had a
good start, and the owner knew that
the boys life depended upon whether
the hounds or the horsemen reached
him first. In no real fox chase did the
veteran hunter ever ride more furi-
ously.
1t was long, hard gallop, but he
had told the boy where to drag the
bag, and by short cut reached him
ahead of the hounds. The dogs were
close upon him and running madly,
The owner seized the astonished boy
and lifted him upon the horse beyond
the reach of the hounds, which he could
even then hardly prevent from tearing
the boy to pieces.

WILLIAM HOLLANDS Mad DEED
Thought He Had Been WrOnged by
the Financier.
THE NEVADA BANK NAN NOT HURT.
A Man Who Vas Accused of Forgery
Takes a Desperate Course to
Get Satisfaction.

Presence of mind alone saved the life of
Isaias w. Hellman, president of the Nevada
Bank, when he was attacked and twice
shot at by a determined assassin yesterday
morning.
William Holland, the would-be muir
derer, who was undoubtedly partially if
not wholly out of his right mind, had care
fully planned the attack, for he went
armed to place where he knew it was
Mr.. Hellman's custom to pass on his way
to business each morning, and almost
without warning drew q revolver and fired
three shots, the first two at the fleeing
fnancier and the third into his own brain.
On December 81 last Holland was taken
in charge by Detective Ross Whitaker on
suspicion that he had attempted to pass
forged check on the Nevada Bank. As
there was no tangible evidence to hold
him he was released on the request of
President Hellman. Soon afterward Hol-
land threatened to bring suit against the

thought | was hit, but as | did not fall l
knew the imagined wound could not be Sc
rious and kept on running, springing from
side to side to discomfort his aim if possible.
When / had gone sixty feet he fired a
second shot, but again missed, and in
very short space of time, but which seemed
to me an age, [ was around the corner of
Polk street. As | turned into that street l
heard another shot. That was the one he
fired into his own brain. l did not stop
until l reached drugstore, into which [

pletely unstrung, l went home to reassure
my wife in case she had heard of the as

Il did not know that Holland had shot
himself until friend came in and told me
of it some time afterward. l went down to
the bank at 1890 and remained until l
o'clock"
While he was speaking a japanese SER

smile that dispelled its previous serious
expression as he opened one of the mes

of friends who show an interest in my well

"Here is one from Father Meyer, Cath
Ole priest of Los Angeles, congratulating
me on my escape, and another from John
Mackay, who is in New York, rendering
his best wishes and joking me on being
more fortunate than he was when attacked
by crank.
az have not the slightest idea why Hol-
land attempted to kill me, for he knew
that while the tellers of the bank identified
him as the man who tried to pass the
forged check, had nothing whatever to
do with the matter, and in fact, asked for
his release.
II suppose he had brooded over some
real or imaginary trouble and got it into

anaugh. He was then taken away from
the bank to the Office of the Chief of Po-
lice, and the two tellers went there and
identified him as the man who had tried
to utter the forged paper.
"However, as he had taken the check
away with him when the employees of the
bank asked him to get some one to identity
him, l knew that the evidence was not
sufficient to convict him, and telephoned
to Captain Lees that as far as the bank was
concerned we could not push any charge
against him as the evidence would not war
rant such proceeding.
''This morning 1 left my house at s
o'clock, the usual time, and started to walk
downtown, as / invariably do in pleasant
weather. I proceeded leisurely along Van
Ness avenue to California street and was
walking down that street to Polk, and had
reached point about midway in the block
when a man stepped in front of me fro m
gateway or from behind tree, cannot

my coat, said:
Mr. Hellman, you had me arrested for

and L want you to apologize to me and

into Mysteries After she became calmer
she hurried away with her companion,
saying she would get some male friend Of
her husband to look after him in his dying
moments but Holland breathed his last
without any friend near to perform the
last sad offices.
When seen last evening Mrs. Holland
was almost unable to talk from grief.
Shortly after the body was removed to the
Receiving Hospital she left 2o2 Grove
street, and went to friends house three
blocks further west

she said. Last night we played game

excite remark were it not for the facts
that have since developed. He had a
grudge against Mr.. Hellman OF the Nevada
Bank because he thought the latter had
had him wrongfully arrested. My. hus--
band was accused of frying to pass forged
check, and was kept in jail for seven
hours. When nothing could be proved
against him he was released. The fact was

guess I'll do for myself Then he put the
gun to his head and dropped at the re-
port"
Captain Lees was emphatic in his state
ment that Holland was forger for whom
the police had been looking for years.
During the past ten or twelve years, y
he said, "a number of very clever forgeries
have been committed in this city, and so
neatly was the work done that until we
rounded up Holland we had very little idea
as to the identity of the criminal.
Through long study of the signatures
of the various forged checks had come to
the conclusion, from various peculiarities
in the writing, that the forger was Ger
man, but he worked so carefully that we
could not catch him. While questioning

Detective Whitaker, / learned that he had

bank for defamation OF character, but was
persuaded to drop the case by ex-Judge
Walter Levy, his attorney, who obtained
retractions from the bank officials who
had identified him as the forger, and also
from Detective Whitaker, who took him
into custody. &
This at first apparently satisfied Holland,
but he soon began to make threats against
Mr.. Hellman, stating that the latter had
ruined his life and that his mind was Civ
ing away under the strain placed upon it
by his troubles.
Day before yesterday he called upon
tons of Paying Tellers Brooks and Cavan-
augh and Detective Whitaker were all
right, but that he did not wish Mr.. He'll
man released from any obligation accruing
from the matter, and that he would get
satisfaction if he had to kill Hellman.
That his mind was unbalanced is shown
by the copies of letters found in his note
books which say that he had no grudge
against the world as Mr.. Hellman had
apologized to him, and intimating that he
intended to commit suicide. He evidently
changed his mind later, and concluded to
take Mr.. Hellman with him into the great
beyond.
Mr.. Hellman seemed none the worse for
his experience when seen at his residence
corner Sacramento street and Van Ness
avenue, yesterday, and readily narrated
the facts of the assault.

land before this morning." he said, twas a

been made, and told the detective that the

thought he would follow the fleeing man
and prepared to grapple with him as he
passed, but Just then some one shouted at
him from the middle of the street and he
looked around, at the same time pointing
the pistol that way.
81 thought he intended to shoot at the
man who was calling to him, but he hest
tated a moment and then turned the
weapon at his own head. The pistol
missed fire the first time he pulled the
trigger and he took it down, turned the
cylinder around with his fingers until the
hammer rested on cartridge and pull

among the residents of the district in

who rushed across the street to stop Hol-
land after he had fired at Hellman.

this period correspondent with the length
of time the undetected forgeries had been
going on, and in view of the fact that he
was German, began to suspect that we
had our man.
81 took a specimen of his handwriting
from the notebook we found in his pocket,
and on comparing it with the chirography
of the forged checks | found them to be
identical. We were not able to hold him,
however, for the law provides that in max
ing charge of forgery against person
the spurious paper must be embodied IN
the complaint, and as the Nevada Bank
forger had taken his check away with him,
when asked to get some one to Identity
him, we had no case. We determined,
however, to keep an eye on him in the
future.
"Of course, Holland denied all compile
ity in the matter, but am quite sure that
he was the man. The checks which were
SO successful in passing the paying.tellers
of the various banks appeared at intervals
of from six months to one year, and were
for amounts ranging from $500 to $1,000"

BEEL WAS THE SOLOIST.
The Devils TrilT' Given at the
Popular Concert.
A Quartet by Sehumann for PianOfOrte
and StringS-L. NeWbauer'S
Flute-Playing.

An exceptionally successful concert was
given by the CARRIED organization yester-
day afternoon in Golden Gate Hall. The
audience was large one, and there were
few late-comers, but the people who did
enter at the last moment were left pro-
grammeless. This, however, is the usual
punishment melted out for hardness at the
Popular Concerts.
The most delightful parts of the pro-
gramme were Sigmund Beel's solo and
Schumann's beautiful quartet for piano
forte and strings, opus AZ. Mr.. Beel is not
heard often enough in solos, indeed so
rarely does he come forward prominently
that his playing yesterday afternoon in
Tartini's "Il Trillo del Diavolo" was
revelation. 1t was playing that the hear
ers could lean back and listen to in COM
fort and happiness, knowing that no
struggle with technical difficulties or slips
in the information would crate on their
ears. The absolute certainty with which
Mr.. Beel handled his violin, however, was
quite equaled by the artistic qualities of
his performances the nuanceS in the
andante movement were charming, and
the lightness and vim of the presto
aroused storm of applause. Though re-
called four times Mr.. Beel did not give an
encore.
The Schumann quartet was excellently
PLAYED by Mrs. Carr and Messrs. Beel,
Jaulus and Heine. Beethoven's serenade,
for flute and strings (opus 25), was also
successfully rendered by Messrs. New
bauer. Beef and Jaulus. Louis Newbauer,
the fautist showed great agility and good
intonatlon.
Mrs Olive Reed Batchelder, the vocalist,
has such fine and sympathetic voice that
it is the more to be regretted that she does
not use it better. After the first song her
singing became monotonous, owing to a
which detracted from the brilliancy of her
tones A lack of ability also to hold back
her breath made her appear to be working
too hard. Indeed, a singers gasps for
breath should never be audible all over the
hall, as Mrs. Batchelder' 5 were yesterday.
