was instructed by Attorney Reinsteln to
arrest the owner (Giessinger).
As the party left the ruins large crowd
followed, eager to see which place would
suffer annihiation next. 1t happened TO
be the property of Mrs. NJ. Schuppert. a
widow, and was located at S32 Jackson
street, between Stockton and Dupont. The
building was of one story and extended
back seventy-five feet the roof being COW
cred with tin over laths-
The house was divided into three Sec
tons. In front was cigar factory, IN the
10 iddle dwelling-place and in the rear a
tannery. There were forty different odors
arising from that tannery, and each ieal-
ously struggled Tor supreme attention.
The Cinnamon were informed by
Health Officer Lovelace that they must
decamp, but they refused to go, saying
that Mrs. Schuppert's son, A. L. Schup-
pert, had advised them not 10 leave. Then
the police were called upon and the Job OF
remov ng the furniture began.
Old leather, broken furniture, cooking
utensils, tobacco boxes and sewing ma
chimes were taken out and dumped into
the street, where the neiG hbors kindly
took charge of them. When the occupants
saw that the police were in earnest they
rushed wildly about and piled many arti-
cles in the lanyard in the rear. From
there they were expressed to various
places.
Then the fun began. It lasted till :
o clock, and all the time the men worked
like ants. Ruins were piled up in three
places. Leonard Mott was struck on the
left breast BY falling beam and suffered
so severe confusion that he was Obliged
to quit work.
Mrs. Schuppert came to the scene in
time TO see the roofs falling and bitterly
complained TO the police. They could
offer her no consolation, and when she at
tempted to enter the ruins, with scan things
rafting on all sides, to complain to the
Health Officer they were Obliged to re-
strain her.
a. L. Schuppert. the widows son, hung
suilenly about while the building was be.
ing RACED, but would say nothing beyond
the tact that the law firm of O7DonnelI
q Jones had been retained by his mother
and suit would be brought. Late in the
afternoon Chinese woman cornered him
and gave him severe tongue flashing.
She complained that he had advised her
not TO leave a day before the incident. but
had taken precaution to collect rent for
the coming month and she wanted her
money back. She failed to get ii.
All the Chinese tenants are in depIor-
able condition. They were advised not to
vacate the building, and now are in the
street with such of their belongings as the
neighbors have not already grabbed. In
the graphic language of a policeman.
