PECULIAR COINCIDENCE
From the Living Brother TO the Dead
One

Two men who attended the Orpneum
last night had their enjoyment of the PEI.
formance interrupted by fatality which
occurred three miles from that pioce III
amusement. One of the men was Deputy
Coroner Summerfield and the other was
Howard Keyser, Superintendent of the
Sunset Telephone company.
Burton L. Keyser, the brother Of the
telephone superintendent, was attacked
with nausea last evening while he was
eating supper at the home Of Henry C.
Hard, at 1922 South Alameda street and
was forced to leave the table. He walked
into the front yard and then retuin ned to
the porch and took a seat In a chair Sui
denly his muscles relaxed and he fell back
in the chair. Miss Hard, who stoo hear
In alarm called to her parents and grand
mother. They hurried to the porch ana
carried Keyser into room and placed hin,
on the bed, but he was probably dead when
they took him from the chair. In a short
time the deputy coroner, who was ut tho
Orpheum. was notified. By his side was
seated Howard Keyser, and when Sum-
merfleld left his seat Keyser remarked
"well, that's something for you, I guess. "
When Mr.. Summerfield ascertained the
brother, who at once left the theat.r and
hurried to the undertaking rooms Of Orr
& Hines. where the remains had t.en
taken.
The deceased evidently died Of heart dis
ease, as he had been troubled with heart
failure and pains in the region of hat or
gan for long time. For the last few days
he had been complaining of this sickness

EVIDENCE FOR Defense
In THE CHAPLAIN'S TRIAL BY

DENVER, Sept S0.-In the court-mar-
tial trial Of Rev. Joseph r, Mcintyre. chap
lain Of the battleship Oregon, today Ben
jamin H. Bayles Of Denver. a retired busi-
ness man, testified that nothing was said
by Chaplain Mcintyre to the effect that
Captain Evans took the Iowa to the rear
and kept her there during the battle. On
many points at issue regarding the word
ing of the lecture the witness said his men,
ory was not clear. He remembered that
the chaplain said at ono point in his de-
script.on Of the battle tina the Oregon in
going forward passed the Iowa going the
other way, but 1t was not clear what the
connection was. He could not recall what
was sad about the division Of the prize
money.
John Collins. minister Of the Methodist
church, testified that Chaplain Mcintyre
said the Oregon was one of the best built
vessels in the navy. He stated that the rea-
son western manufacturers had not been
abye to secure contracts for other vessels
was that the eastern ship builders had
mere influence with the government
