BEN NAPTHALY'S
CHECKERED LIFE
Particulars About the Death and
Career of the AdVen.
turer.

Ben Napthaly, known in his day as
the king Of the Police Court shysters,"
last night came to a sudden end. He
was drifting through Montgomery
street about 10 o'clock, and at a point
near the entrance to the Russ House
was attacked by series of hem
mortgages from the lungs. Almost
simultaneously with the occurrence Of
the first one he lost consciousness, and
then rapidly sank into death. Pedes-
trians carried MIN from the sidewalk
to the hotel steps and did what they
could to help him, but their efforts were
useless. He died in twenty minutes
from the time the illness came on him.
Napthaly returned from Honolulu
seven or eight months ago. He had
been in the islands for three years, Nv
ing in the same harum -scarum way
that characterized his early existence
in San Francisco. In some way Nap
! thaly got hold of printing outfit in
Honolulu, and it was not long before
| his manipulation of ink and types got
him into Jail on a charge of criminal
libel. With his usual luck ne manag-
ed to get his freedom long enough to
board a steamer and come back here.
In the days of Chris Buckley and Bill
| Higgins and the other big political
bosses, when the Police Court was in
the old City Hall, on the site now oc-
cupied by the Hall of Justice, Napthaiy
| did politics and carried a graft in his
peculiar way of practice that had never
been equaIed. It was a poor day that
he did not clear all the way from $500
| to $500 in fees He followed the motto
| of Easy come, easy 60" and that he
lived as long as he did was considered
marvellous by those who knew the life

MIDNIGHT FIRE.
Moulding Ro III OF Star Boiler
and Machine Works Gutted.

Fire broke cut in the moulding
room of the Star Boiler and Ma
chine works on Union avenue at
midnight which entirely gutted
the building, and all that is stand
ing is a few weak rafters support
ing the iron sides and roof and the
building is left in such condi-
ton thnl If "A heavy wind or rain
should visit this part of the valley
it would collapse
Workmen had been busy until
late hour last night at the brass
furnace. The fire was put out
before leaving but the heat from
the furnace ignited the corner of
the moulding building and in a
very short time the flames had
spread over the interior of the
room The fire was first discover
ed by the night engineer at the
electric light plant
The estimate loss is $500, and
this amount includes the patterns
aud buiiding: but had the entire
works been burned the loss would
have been $1,000. and of this
amount $1,000 would have been
recovered by insurance..

STOCK GOES UP.
keystone People flake Sharp
Advance in Price

The Keystone OH company to-
day advanced the price of its oil
stock 100 per cent, which is a
sharp advance The stock that
was purchased up till last nigh
for five cents per share today Is
worth ten cents and the company
will hold it at that figure for few
days longer, when another ad-
vance will be made
The concern says that the out
look for striking big oil wells are
good and these statements are
based on actual circumstances To
show just how the people have
bought up the stock that has been
sold we quote these figures: The
company was incorporated on
April Sd last, commenced drilling
ON June 25th and since that time
322, l52 shares had been sold up
to last evening.
From the start the merits of this
company have been appreciated
by those wishing to buy stock and
from the very outset stock has
been sold in blocks of 81 1000
worth each, thus assisting its
financial work from the start.
The strike last Saturday gives
the oil business new impetus
and affords practically new oil
territory and will be the means of
stimulating the business i. ..all
parts of the now known district.
The Florence daily tribune., 1901-08-14

that the presence of oil there has
been proven.
1t is to be hoped that the
grounds of the Acme and Colum-
