SAD SEASIDE ACCIDENT
YOUNG WOMAN DROWNED AT
LONG BEACH I.
Emma Hinokley Perishes for Lack of
Assistance-The Body Has Not
Yet Been Recovered

Emma Hinckley, the 17-year-o
daughter of Marion G. Hinckley, of 220
East Elmra street, fell from the pier
at Long Beach at o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon and was drowned. The body
has not yet been recovered.
The girl left for Long Beach last Fri
day in company with her mother, ex-
pecting to sped a month at the seaside.
Her father who is carpenter in the
employ of the Southern Pacific COM
pany, remained at the home in this city.
Yesterday the girl walked out to the
end of the long wharf in company with
some friends. Just as the party started
to return Emma was suddenly seized
with an epileptic fit and staggered to the
edge Of the wharf. Her companions no.
ticed her actions but did not seem to
realize what was the matter. Finally
she came to the edge, and before anyone
could offer any assistance had stepped
off and fell like shot into thewater.
A splash was heard as she sank be-
meath the waves, but no one dared to
risk his life to save that of the poor
girl, although there were several wit
nesses to the casualty. Emma strug-
gled in the water for few seconds and
then disappeared from sight.
The news was carried as quickly as
possible to the mother, who was almost
prostrated on hearing of the sad acci-
dent Word was also telephoneo to this
city to the girls father. He started out
to drive to Long Beach Immediately
with team of horses as there were no
trains leaving at that hour.
Emma was an exceptionally bright
girl, and was we'll liked by all who knew
her.

Murder or suicide as attempted in
this city last night. Andrew Wolfert,
a German, was found shot in the right
temple with the most of the charge Of
shot buried in the pillow about 12:15
this morning. A shotgun, with one
barrel discharged, was lying beside the
bed with the hammer of the other
barrel cooked, but in such position
that the theory of suicide seems al
most impossible. The gun belonged to
a hired man named Baldice Listerine,
who was sleeping in the bed room off
an adjoining room, and who claimed
that the gun stood beside the door of
his bed room, and as the account he
gives of the shooting is somewhat
shady. he was taken into custody
awaiting developments. Mr.. WOlfert has
Aeen conscious part Of the time since
and claims that he did not shoot him
self and that the hired man did not
shoot him, but that some stranger had
shot him. Mr.. WOlfert is not expected
to live, as one half Of his body is al
ready paralyZed. The doctors perform
ed an operation trepanning the skull
square Of the skull having been blown
off in the discharge, hopes of his
recovery are very small.
