Prison Causes the Death of
Southern Convict.

Jones, negro, died Tuesday from ex-

prison. He was convicted of murder

and the prisoner stoutly maintained he
did not know the gun was loaded. His
good record and the attendant facts
finally brought a pardon. On being re-
leased the happy negro hurried to his
home near Demopolis. Approaching
the old log hut, the unexpected conner
was greeted by mother, father and Sis
tiers, who ran to meet him. The JOY
was too great and the big, lusty man,
for whom no task had been too severe,
swooned with emotion, expiring few
moments later in his mothers arms.

BEAUTIFUL FOREST BURNED.
Summer Homes Of Rich San Pranciscans
Were Endangered.

San Francisco, Oct. l0.--A fire be-
lieved to have been of incendiary origin
has done much damage in Mill valley
and the adjoining country about the
base of Mount Tamalpais. The town of
Mill Valley was for hours in imminent
danger and many summer visitors fled
to places of temporary safety. Corte
MADEIRA gulch, Boyle canon, Blithdale
canon and the Cascades were denuded
of majestic pines and red woods, which
the names swept away like so much dry
grass. "Owls Nest" the residence of
George L. Marsh, was destroyed. Dozens
of homes were preserved by back firing.
There were many narrow escapes. over
GAO acres were burned over and several
small buildings destroyed. Many beau
tiful residences narrowly escaped de-
struction. A conservative estimate of
the loss places it at $130,000, though
some claim 1t may reach half million.
