She Knew what She wanted.

A Pennsylvania doctor who has a de-

this story: Il had an Irish woman for
a patient many years. said the doc

dead. once pulled her through a lin
gering attack of typhoid, taking her
temperature from time to time by hav-

THE ALAMEDA TRAGEDY.
Both Burglars Engaged in the Bat
tie Identified.

OAKLAND, Oct. 10.-Chief of Po-
lice John Conrad, who commanded the
police force of Alameda in it's thrill
ing battle with the burglars who en-
tered A. o. Coils jewelry store early
yesterday morning, has very promptly
succeeded in identifying the two burg
lars. The dead body in the Alameda
Morgue awaiting the inquest is that of
Bert Willmore, and the man in Gus
tody in the Alameda Jail is c. c. Sulli-
van.
Sullivan was sentenced in Fresno, in
1882, to fifty years in Folsom Prison
for murder in the second degree.
Willmore was sentenced there for
ten years about four years ago for
burglaries performed in Oakland with
the Abe Majors gang. Both Sullivan
and Willmore were pardoned by Gov
ernor Budd on the oath of December,
1898, as also were the Major boys.
Since their pardon Sullivan has been
engaged at common labor in Fresno,
and Willmore has been working as an
electrician in the Emporium in San
Francisco.
The young woman who shortly after
midnight this morning entered the Ala
media prison, and, in the presence OF
the solitary night watch, flung herself
upon the body of Willmore and raised
her hands in prayer, is said by the po-
lice authorities to be his sister, Who,
with her mother, has been living in San
Francisco.
Officer George Brown, who ran down
the fleeing burglars to the vacant lot
where one was slain, is down with a
severe congestion of the lungs, threat
ening pneumonia Officer Hadley, who
lost the tips of two fingers by a shot
from Willmore's pistol, is experiencing
the most inconvenience from severe con-
tusions of the shoulder sustained While
retreating over a ten-foot fence under
fire. The wound of Chief Conrad, an
ominous cash in the neck crossing the
jugular vein, was SO slight as to cause
him no serious trouble.

Out of Existence, Entailing the
Loss of Many Thousands of Dol

MOJAvE. (Cal.), Oct. 10.-The fire

cept that run by Fred. Harvey, at the
depot The only brick building in
town, occupied by A. Asher, merchant,
and w. c. Wilson, druggist, was de-
stroyed by two explosions of giant
powder.
Practically nothing was saved in the
saloons, stores and hotels. The nre
started in the Southern Pacific freight
sheds, and the wind, blowing at sixty
miles an hour, carried the sparks
across the wide street and started fires
in the frame structures on the main
thoroughfare.

saving the depot hotel buildings. Cows.

human lives lost.
The Postal Telegraph Company's s
office was destroyed, but the operators

THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York, Aug. 8.-The stock market
was a dull affair for the greater part
of today, drifting aimlessly within
narrow gauge. Some strength was
shown by few isolated stocks through
out the day under influence not dis
closed by any published news This
persistent strength in spots seemed TO,
arouse the apprehension of the bears
to the last hour of the smarket. the
manner in which prices We're marked
up on the late dealings indicated q
good deal of a scramble by the shorts
to cover their contracts, and awakened
more of an appearance of animation
and strength than has been seen in the
market for some time. The higher
prices for Americans made by London
were for the most part nominal as
London sold from 1900 to $4,000 shares
here after the opening.
Strength kept cropping out at new
points as the day progressed. There
was early strength in Anaconda and a
few of the specialties but period of
reaction followed under realizing in
Tobacco and Kansas City, Pittsburg
and Gulf Then the Minneapolis and
st. Louis stocks rose SIS and 3l4 re-
spectively. There was a late movement
in the Coalers. which lifted them from
to 21a, with notable effect on the whole
list. Other stocks showing notable
gains were Consolidated Gas, Az, and
Pacific Coast second preferred, 3b.
Tennessee Coal, Colorado Fuel, Peoples
Gas, Brooklyn Transit, Steel and Wire,
American Linseed Oil and a few less
prominent stocks advanced a point. A
strong upward movement in Sugar
from 1875 to 1929 was the decisive in
fiuenee in the late strength Of the mar
ket, which closed active and strong at
net gains in nearly all cases.
The tone of the money market was
called rather easier, though rates were
not quotably changed. The hardening
of money in London still continued, but
the money rate at Berlin was a frac-
| ton lower, and sterling exchange there
advanced, showing relaxation of the
| tension at that point, Notwithstanding
that the Bank of England continues
to make demands upon Berlin for
gold. ,.,
Sterling exchange here continued its
downward course, and confidence grows
| that gold will come from abroad if an
emergency here demands it, The free
offerings Of funds from outside sources

creases the belief that small demands
will be made upon New York for money

ket for silver on account of importa-

well supported for several days showed
a little more readiness to yield to profit
taking. During the first hour traders
took the bull side and, though there was
but little commission house business
