''If Cameron wants TO get me out he will
have to kill me first" said Mrs. Fritze,
who resides on the corner of Rose and
Grant streets in Berkeley, to-day.
Mrs. Fritze had just done what the
Sheriff had undone when she made the re-
mark. On Saturday Marshal Lloyd, armed
with a warrant from the court, was re-
quired to eEict the wretched little woman.
He went to the house and carried her
scant belongings out on the sidewalk, or
rather on the side of the road, for there is
no sidewalk there.
Mrs. Fritze submitted meekly and did
not offer any resistance. She is physically
weak and unable to do any hard work, and
beyond giving an opinion she did nothing
till the Marshal had finished his unpleAs-
ant task.
But after thinking the matter over Mrs.
FritZe decided that the lock placed on the
door should not keep her out, and that she
would 60 back.
Yesterday she carried out her idea and
moved all OF her things back and now she
declares that she will hold the fort against
all corners. Mrs. FritZe claims that the
property belongs to Attorney Livingston
of San Francisco, and that he had given
her right of possession. She was put in,
so she says, as a sort of keeper. She found
the property, which consisted of five lots,
in bad condition, and at once began to
improve it. She cleared and cultivated
the land, and later secured a couple Of
COWS. The place did not then afford liV-
ing, and Mrs. Fritze began peddling about
the district. Recently the title of the
property was settled in court, and the
owner had the old-time tenant removed.
The old lady is well known and has had
more than her share of trouble in her life.
One time she was comp aratively wealthy,
but she was swindled out of every cent,
she says, by the man she married after
coming to San Francisco. FritZe got pos
session-of her little fortune and then de-
serted her.
The writ of election was obtained by J.
?. Cameron, who is now the owner of the
property. The deserted little woman
probably does not mean to carry out her
threat, but she is evidently dete rmined
not to finally leave without fight.

upon the receipt of the news of the
slaughter of Italians at Adowa TO render
surgical aid, and inside OF fourteen days
he performed lao amputations upon
wounded and mutilated soldiers.
found two groups OF wounded soldiers in
Apyssln1a, different from the type of gunshot
and cold-steel wounds familiar to military sur
large one, consisted of black soldiers in
the Italian service, who, having peen made
prisoners by the forces of King Menelik, had
the right hand and the left foot cut off; the
formed chiefly of Italian soldiers who had sur
ylved dastardly private mutilations. These
Two forms OF multi alton are characteristic of
an Abyssinian campaign.
IL was most impressive sight to see about
the ImproYised infrmary all those fine, ath-
let1e-look1ng black young men, about 800 In
number, hopping smartly about on their right
loot, or sitting down on the turf, nursing their
bandaged stumps.
Abba Carima, these soldiers and hundreds of
others were made prisoners. On the follow
Ing day several of the high chiefs begged King
Menehk to have them mu tilated, but he re-
fused. On March great courI-martial was
held, and chiefs of tribes Queen Taitu herself
and the head of the Abyssinian clergy, pleaded
with the King to enforce the penalty of the
the left foot.
King Menelik is a weak man, and he
yielded. The execution took place at once
and not as usual by the hand of the execu-
toner, who has certain skill from practice
but by that OF soldiers who went at it In an adj
ditionally cruel manner, using their swords
and Wrenching the joints open. Fifteen hun
dred hardy young soldiers were so mutilated
at that time.
Now, when this mutilation is adopted for the
punishment of theft the sufferer is allowed to
plunge ais stumps into boiling but ter to stop
the bleeding; but with these prisoners this
was strictly forbidden. and once the mutila-
ton wes completed they were freed and left to
themselves. AS a result, many soon bled to
death. Many more crowded to q neigh boring
torrent, where the Mohammedans, in despair
and intense suffering, drowned themselves in
a deep Waterhole. Those that were able to
bandage themselves with portions of their
robe survived. For many days they lived on
grass and water. When the news reached the
Italian lines great number of wives of the
mutilated, with the speed of leg peculiar to
these people, rushed 10 Adowa, ana many of
the Survivors owe their lives to the fact that
Tor miles they were carried on the back by
their wives TO the nearest Italian OUTPOST
fine example OF womanly devotion.
OF the $50 mutilated returned to the Italian
lines 1S9 of them had so far healed that an
amputation was not considered necessary
There are yet mutilated ASkari turning up at
the hospitals OF Keren and Asmara every week,
but, all told, 1t is reckoned by good authorities
that out of the 1900 mutilated of AdoWa there
cannot be more than 500 survivors. The re-
naming 1000 bled to death or succumbed to
suffering and starvation.

SOUGHT RICHES IN DEATH
Suicide of a Bright Young Lad
Surrounded With Poverty
and Misery.
Fred Mauerhan Bsiieved That the
Future Would Racompense for
Present Hardships.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
COS Broadway, Sent. TX

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
COS Broadway, Sept. Is.
Fred Mauerhan, lad 16 years old, shot
himself tonight because he feared he
would always be poor. Mauerhan was a
very industrious boy and delivered milk
for Joseph Yaeger of Fruitvale. On sew
eral occasions recently he has told his en-
ployer that If there were no prospects of a
man getting rich he had better be dead.
The lad lived with John Baery on Upper
High street. He went over his route to-
day twice, as usual, and when he returned
tonight he handed over his collections.
He then went to the little room off the
parlor where he slept. He was absent a
long time when Baery heard a shot. On
going to the paTlor Baery saw Mauerhan
the bed with Baery and tie latter kept a
pistol beneath his pillow. Fred had taken
the pistol and shot himself in the head.
There was but one cartridge in the re-
volver and its effect had been lnstantan-
eous.
Mauerhan's mother lives at Fruityale
and has three young children. She is
very Door and frequently the pangs of
hunger and poverty have been severely
felt. His father is a veteran and is Grip
pied. He is an inmate OF the Veterans
Home at Napa.
Altogether Fred thought his lot too
hard, and seeing no brighter prospect
ahead he resolved to end it. When dis
cusslng his circumstances he frequently
said that in the future world those who
we're poor nere would be rich. and strong
in this hope he fired the fatal shot.
