ESCAPED THE ASYLUM
IN A LUCID INTERVAL

OAKLAND, Oct. 6-By assuming an air
of plausibility and rational calm while
arraigned before Judge Greene on a
charge of insanity Alexander H. Benton
aged 30 years, and a son of Charles H.
Benton, escaped being committed to an
insane asylum, though Drs. Stratton and
Dunn, sitting as a Board of Lunacy Com
missioners, had recommended his COM
mitment. In fact Notwithstanding the
doctors 1pined that Benton would be un-
safe at large, Judge Greene discharged
him.
Benton first attracted attention a few
days ago when he was found sweeping
up straw in the yard of the Sixth street
engine house. He spent two hours sort
ing the clean straws from the soiled.
First he claimed to be guarding railroad
property. then he was a clerk, a brake
man, a trackwalker and what not He
also imagined he had a "divining rod !"
with which he could locate people at any
distance. Yesterday when taken to the
hospital he asserted that he expected
position in the Fire Department When
released he declared he would go to San
Francisco to study law An officer very
promptly paid his ferry ticket.

FLEMING WOULD
NOT SURRENDER
ROSE OF HILO
Plucky Mrs. Killip
Chastised Him.

OAKLAND, Oct. 6.-Mrs. Sara Killip,
the plucky little widow Of the late w j.
killip, the well known horseman, recov-
cred her horse, the Rose of Hilo, this aft
ernoon after proving that she knows how
to resent an insult as well as to attend
to her own business interests. 1t is said
that the lady found it necessary to slap
the face of Jack" Fleming, a horse
trainer, before he was convinced that she
would not permit interference by him.
The Rose of Hilo was the pet horse of
w. J. Killip, who died very suddenly a
week ago in this city. It is valuable
animal, an ana ana mas won a Prize m ana eaTrled
Fair. 1t has been trained by Fleming, and
is now at the Emeryvile track. Wednes-
day night Mrs. Killip sent for the trainer
and paid all fees and expenses to date,
and told him she would make other ar
rangements for the horse. Yesterday
Mrs. killip went to the track to take
possession of her horse, but Fleming re-
fused to deliver up the keys of the stable.

CHARITY THAT
WAS REPAID A
HUNDRED FOLD
UnIuCky Russian Is
Now Quite Rich.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

~
The Russian colony in this city is highly
elated over the success attending little
deed of charity that was done nearly a
year ago. 1t has resulted in one of the
most unfortunate Of their number acquir-
ing an Independent fortune and sending
for his family to enjoy it with him on the
Yukon
About a year ago B. Ouhwahn was
fighting off starvation for his family of
nine in West Oakland. He was largely
an object of charity and was unable to
procure work. Being native of Alaska,
Ouhwahn believed that if he could get to
the Yukon he could obtain his share Of the
gold He could talk the native language
and believed that this knowledge would
make it possible for him to learn from
the Indians the location of some rich ter
ritory that other prospectors could not
find.
His people took the matter under advise
ment, and finally concluded to send Duh
wahn to the Yukon and to look after his
children until he should strike it rich. He
went north, and last spring he returned
with enough gold to remove his family
from their Cramped quarters on Third
street to a comfortable residence on Ade-
line street. He returned at once to the
Yukon and met with such good luck that
he has sent down funds for his family to
join him and to pay back what was ad-
Vanced him. His family left yesterday
for the north, where Ouhwahn has a pay
ing gold mine, a productive farm and a
nice home
