TlLLS0N'S DEATH WAS
PURELY ACCIDENTAL
WALKED IN FRONT OF DUMMY
AND WAS KILLED.
The Gripman Blameless for the Cas-
ualty Which Cost the ex-Tax
Collector His Life.

Coroner Hill held an inquest yesterday
upon the body of Charles Tillson, ex-Tax
Collector who died on June 10 from in
iuries received by being struck by a
streetcar at the crossing Of Hyde and
Jackson streets. I. S. Rosenbaum of 1902
Jackson street testified that he was on
the rear dummy of the car waiting for 1t
to stop so that he might get off, when he
saw Tillson walk in front of the car Till
son seemed to be waiting to get on board
and appeared to be dazed or in a reverie.
Holland, the gripman, and several other
witnesses testified that Tillson stopped
between the rails on the left-hand track
ac If waiting to get on the car. When the
car was within three or four feet of
hin, he stepped directly in front of the
dummy was struck lii the breast with the
corner Of the dashboard rail- and was
knocked down. Tillson was picked up and
helped to his residence near by, but was
sreechess and dazed
Josiah W. Tillson, a son OF the dead
man. swore that his father for the past
four or five years, had been a total alb
stainer from Intoxicating drinks. He had
been treated for hardening of the brain

When affected with the spells of the
disease he used to go into stupor. Au-
topsy Surgeon Zabala found that death
had resulted from hemorrhage of the
brain consequent upon the injuries re-
ceived by the collision with the car. Two
OF Tillson's ribs were broken, and he. had
received other injuries.
The jury rendered verdict that the de-
ceased came to his death accidentally.

all wrong. The book of knowledge is

Are MutiIated.
ALL THE BRASS WORK STOLEN
SERIOUS LOSS ENTAILED TO THE
SOUTHERN PACIFIC.
Eight of the Gang of "Forty Thieves"
and the Receiver of the Stolen
Property Have Been
Arrested.

one or the worst cases of vandalism re-
ported TO the police came to light on
Monday, when five small boys were ar
rested by Detectives Ryan and O'Dea and
Special Officer Levin Of the Southern
Pacific Company. Yesterday three other
boys and the junk dealer who instigated
the boys in their thieving propensities
were arrested.
1t was discovered on Monday that four
teen passenger coaches of the Southern
Pacific standing a side line at Harri-
son street, between Fifteenth and Six
teenth. had been forced open and had been
completely stripped of every piece of
brass. Lamps and lamp founts, door
knobs, Jocks, mountings on seats. hooks
floors covering kingbolts, cocks of the
cylinders underneath the cars and in
fact, every particle of brass in the coaches
had been removed.
1t was not alone the theft of the brass
articles that aroused so much Indignation
but in tearing them off panels had been
destroyed and windows broken and other
damage done entailing a loss of about
$500 If screwdriver had been used the
loss would not have been half so great
1t was the worst case of the kind that
the Southern Pacific officials have had to
deal with.
AS soon as the police were notified De-
tectives Ryan and O'Dea and Special Off
Ger Levin set out to find the vandals.
They were soon successful and the boys
arrested acknowledged their guilt They
commenced operations last Wednesday on

OLIN CAUGHT IN THE ACT
OFFICERS CAMPED IN BRUSH
ALL NIGHT.
Seized the Plant and the Private Dis
tiller Confessed That He Had
Broken the Internal Rev
enue Regulations.

An important seizure of an Illicit dis
tillery in the Santa Cruz Mountains was
made yesterday by internal revenue Of
ficers. Acting on information furnished
the revenue department, D. ]. Flannery,
F. A. Fletcher and l.. E. Thrasher, ac-
companied by ]. A. Lowell, City Marshal
of Santa Clara, went into the Santa Cruz
Mountains near Alma and hid in the
bushes surrounding the residence and
saloon of Hank DIN. The officers arrived
at midnight on Monday and made them
selves as comfortable as they could under
the twinkling stars, waiting to catch
Olin going to work on his still, which they
had been informed he was accustomed to
do between the hours of midnight and t
o'clock in the morning. When 4 o'clock
came Olin got out of bed where he had
been peacefully snoring all night, and
went to the stable to feed his horses. The
officers then emerged from their places of
concealment and arrested him.
Two coal oil cans in the house, one of
them containing a rude worm or con-
denser, were seized, together with a gal
lon of new brandy. The search in the
brush brought to light several gallons
more. Then Olin broke down and con-
fessed. He said he had been making one
gallon of grape brandy out of four gal
Ions of wine, costing 40 or 50 cents, and re-
failing the product over his bar at 10
cents a drink a very prontable bust
ness when there were no taxes to inter
fere. He had been distilling illicitly for
only two months. He had no idea that his
offense was so grave as the officers
seemed to think it was.
When asked whether he knew of any
other Illicit stills in his neighborhood he
replied that he would rather serve a SEN
tence of twenty years in San Quentin
than ''be dog Of an informer." DIN was
taken to San Jose, where he furnished
bonds and was released He has been
a politician in a small way and has many
friends. The case will probably be COM
promised.

to adopt drastic measures in the early
part of the year, but the idea Of clos
ing that or any other school in the
city had never been contemplated. He
then addressed himself particularly to

success can be summed up in few
words. Select some vocation congenial
to you and to which your capabilities
are adapted and strive to master it in
every detail. Never become discour-
aged. no matter how great the difficult
ties that beset your path. and when
the one golden opportunity presents
itself be prepared to grasp 1t, for it
only comes once in lifetime"
This was followed by the al-impor-
tant moment to the graduates, the
presentation of diplomas. President
Bergerot called the names, and as
each pupil came forward Mayor Phe-
Ian handed him or ner the coveted
scroll. with bow and word of CON
graduation.
That concluded the exercises. but for
the next fifteen minutes a half dozen
ushers were kept busy in passing up
floral tributes to the young ladies'
every one of whom left the stage look

An invitation to visit the drawing
room and inspect that branch of work

work there.
