FIRED THE STORE
But Failed to Crack Montague & Co. g
Safe

The fire at the stove store Of
w. w. Montague & Co. at 122
North Los Angeles street, early
yesterday morning appears to have been
caused by pair of bungling robebrs, dur
ing an attempt to crack the safe. 1t was
impossible to make any thorough investi-
CATION at the time of the fire, owing to the
clouds of smoke in the store, so the cause
of the blaze was not ascertained. Later
in the day an investigation disclosed the
fact that hole had been drilled in the
safe door close to the combination and a
charge of powder inserted. A fuse had
been set on fire, but went out apparently
before 1t reached the powder, so the safe
was not entered. A can of powder was
found in the corner of the room and several
drills were on the floor. 1t is claimed that
either a spark from the fuse ignited some
papers or else one of the men held candle
too close to the books while his partner
was working with the drill. On the other
hand, the books where the fire was burning
were some distance above the safe and
that the flames could have reached that far
seems peculiar. 1t might have been that
the burglars, angry over their failure to
get any booty. set fire to the place and then
escaped through the rear window through
which they had gained an entrance. The

WILL NOT ESCAPE EASILY
METCALF TO BE CHARGED WITH
ASSAULT TO MURDER
His Victim Still Too Ill to Appear in
Court-A Plea of Guilty to a
Charge Of Battery

| Henry II. Metcalf pleaded guilty to the
charge of battery before Justice Owens
| yesterday afternoon, but it is likely that f.
j. Day, the victim of his attack last Mon
day, will not allow him to escape SO easily
Metcalf will probably be prosecuted on
charge of assault to commit murder as
soon as Day has recovered sufficiently to
be present in court
The case was originally called Tuesday,
but the defendant was not in court, so 1t
was continued until yesterday for pleading
Mr. Metcalf was represented by e. II.
Lamme and Judge j. Brosseau, while W.
r. Bacon was retained to aid Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Chambers in the prosecu-
ton. The regular grist of petty offenders
was first disposed of, before the case
against Metcalf was called.
From the animated discussion that had
previously taken place between Metcalf
and his attorneys the impression was Gre
ated that while they desired him to plead
guilty, he favored fighting the case. In
any event, Judge Lamme announced to the
court that his client desired to enter
plea of guilty. The lawyer then proceeded
to make brief and rather reckless speech
in which he said that while Metcalf had
committed battery upon Day, there had
been great provocation. In fact so griev-
ously had Day maligned Metcalf that the
attorney believed a person would under
similar circumstances have been right in
committing murder, if murder could ever
be called justifiable. Judge Lamme thought
that Metcalf had shown great moderation
in merely smashing Day across the face
with heavy cane from behind his back
The prisoner was ready to receive sem
tence, but to this Mr.. Bacon entered an OBJ
lection. His client, Mr.. Day, had been too
i'll to attend court, and until he could, Mr.
Bacon did not wish the case to be SO sum-
marily settled Mr.. Bacon wanted the
court to hear some of the evidence, and
Justice Owens also expressed desire to
know how the affair had occurred. Mr.. Ba-
con added that in all probability when the
injured Day had recovered sufficiently to
be present in court the present complaint
charging battery would probably be dis
missed and new one for assault to COM
nit murder substituted. But the attorneys
of the defendant insisted that sentence be
passed at once on the battery charge, but
to this the prosecution objected, as did
Justice Owens, and finally the matter was
settled by continuing the case for sentence
until tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock,
when more evidence will be heard

R0BBING THEIR BROTHER
SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST THE
KEITH BROTHERS
Arrested by the Detectives Yesterday
and Will Be Sent to Portland
to Answer

Two men, charged with having robbed
their brother of sum of money, were
arrested yesterday afternoon by Detec-
tives Steele and Goodman. The men are
named e. M. and o. f. Keith, and their
crime is alleged to have been committed
in Portland. Ore, on the 9Th of last month.
The former brother resided in this city
last year, but returned to Portland. The
third brother is a man of some means in
that place, and the two men arrested yes
terday decided, 1t is alleged, to profit at
his expense. They are alleged to have
burglarized the Keith house and secured
nearly S400 in cash. Then they left the
north and came to Los Angeles few days
lago.
Il. M. Keith knew a number of people,
SO had no trouble in remaining under cover
as long as he wished. They decided to go
into the saloon business and purchased
the Maces place, at 10 North Alameda
street. Last Monday Keith appeared be-
fore the police commission regarding the
transfer of the license, and he was asked
about his occupation for the past few
years. After some hesitation Keith is re-
ported to have replied that he had been
working for an electric company in Ore
gon. In any event, the brothers have been
| managing the saloon since then and the
detectives have been searching over Los
Angeles for them. Knowing that one of
the keiths had formerly lived here, Chief
of Police Barry of Portland warned Chief
Glass to have his men keep sharp look
out for the brothers and also sent tele-
graphic order for their arrest Tuesday.
nv,
day night trying to locate them, and yes
terday afternoon nabbed them in the sa-
loon. One was working behind the bar
and the other sitting at a table when the
officers requested them to go to the police
station, nothing being said at that time
Of the nature of the officers errand The
Keiths were searched at the station and
locked up and Chief Barry was notified.

Capt. Charles e. Clark of the United

from the east. He has been in command
of the fighting machine Monadnock, and
was on his way to San Francisco to take
command of the Oregon, which he will sail

Captain Clark was in the same class at
Annapolis, over thirty years ago, with Mr..
Williamson Dunn of the Southern Pacific

was met by him at the depot. The captain
declined to discuss the Spanish situation
with newspapermen. He has an excep-
