ANOTHER YOUNG
VICTIM OF THE
MERC|LESS CAR
Lulu Summers Life
Crushed Out.

An accident occurred yesterday after
noon on the line of the Mission-street cars
through which another young life was
crushed out beneath the wheels.
14oout 5:45 in the afternoon car 1888 of
the Kearny-street line while on it's down
town trip knocked down and crushed Lulu
Sumner, the ffteen-year-old daughter of
Charles Sumner, janitor at the Mission
street carhouse of the Market-street Rail-
road, residing at "a West avenue. The ac-
cident happened on Mission street, oppo-
site Cortland avenue, about a block from
the carhouse The unfortunate girl, who
was near sighted and wore glasses, had
just stepped from an outward-bound
Ingleside car, and walked behind 1t to
cross the street to West avenue, when the
inward-bound car, well filled with passen-
gers, came along. The girl crossed the
track, seemingly unmindful of the ap-
proach of the car. She did not seem to
realize the danger, and walked almost di-
rectly to the car, when it struck her and
knocked her down and rolled her about
100 feet before it could be stopped, there
being heavy grade at that particular
place.
The body of the girl was carried into
Lyons drug store, opposite, and DR.. w.
r. Scroggs, who resides next door, was
summoned.
When the physician arrived the girl
was unconscious and In utter collapse
He Immediately applied restoratives and
tried to induce artificial respiration, but
to no avail; the unfortunate girl died in
about an hour.
While the patient was being cared for
in the back room Of the drug store a sad
scene was enacted in the front The
father of the innocent victim was wait

Thinking that Howard would realize
that he had been given the double cross"
in case he showed himself, Casey travel
ed about the country for some time and
finally returned to this city. He lost no
time in hunting up Howard, who was
anXiously waiting for some news from
''plunger' that he and his pals had ''si-
lenced' Green while the Alameda was at
sea. He declared that they had enticed
him to the stern of the vessel and dur
ing an opportune moment struck him on
the head and threw his body overheard.
Howard was so elated with the good
news as he expressed it, that he gave
Casey a bundle of greenbacks and ad-
vised him to get out of town. Casey, un-
mindful of his advice, proceeded to get
drunk and was finally landed by the de-

In support of this theory they were
told by Tony and Manuel Arrunda,
who passed close to the store on Sixth
street at 1910 o'clock, that they heard

of boxes had fallen.

porters of the suicide theory on the
fact that Lands had taken three

that he had taken liquor to brace his
have found any number Of people
who say not only was it Landis' GUS
tom to take several drinks before
going to bed, but that that night in
particular he did not drink of his
own motion, having been invited on
each occasion. His return to the
store was also in line with his GUS
tom, and the theory that he did so
and was killed by burglars also leads
to the additional supposition that the
man or men inside were unaware of
this habit of his and were surprised
at his return.
The theory Of the Placer Sheriff
that the bullet found in the store
partition was from Landis' revolver
IS not borne out by the facts. The bull
let was brought to this city last week
by Deputy Sheriff Stevens and taken
by him to A. Browning, a gunsmith
at 800 Kearny street, to whom he was
recommended by Chief of Police
Lees. The gunsmith examined the
bullet in his presence and that of a
Pinkerton operative, and decided
positively that it had not come from
Lands revolver.
Here the case rests. The detectives
were employed to determine whether
or not murder had been committed
The evidence they have unearthed
answers in the affirmative. They were
not employed to hunt down the muir
derer, whom they think was a
stranger at Lincoln. 1t remains to
be seen if he will ever be caught.

a verdict that Lands came to his
death from a gunshot wound at the
hands of some party unknown"
This verdict left the manner Of
Lands taking off as much of an open
question as before. To settle it once
for all it was decided to employ the
Pinkerton agency Money for this
purpose was raised and Superintend-
ent Vannatta of this city sent seYe-
raj of his men to the scene. The
result of their investigation was given
in a report mailed yesterday to
Lincoln.
First of all they looked for some
motive that might have led Lands TO
commit suicide. They found none.
On the, contrary, they found every
thing that would go to show the
young merchants desire to live.

T HE gamblers have not by any
means abandoned their purpose
to secure possession Of Colma
4 through incorporation. The de-
termined opposition Of the peo-
pie Of the little town, aroused by the
timely expose of The Call, has forced
the blacklegs to call q temporary halt,
but they are still working and have
struck upon new scheme to accom-
plish their dishonest purpose, They in
tend now If possible, to break down the
opposition of the leaders by promising
some Of them the positions of Trustees
under the incorporation of the town.
This is an old trick, and is not likely
to succeed in the present instance. The
gamblers have absolutely no reason to
desire the incorporation Of Colma as a
town of the fifth class except TO secure
the right to max such laws as they
please and to control the officers and
revenues of the little town. 1t is a fact
known all over San Mateo County that
there are not enough legitimate, bona
fide residents OF Colma to conduct
the affairs Of the town after incorpora-
ton. 1t would be necessary to import
officers, and the people of Colma know
thoroughly what the character of these
officers would be.
They would be the most plant tools

zens We're given representation the
gamblers would take care that no
