STRANGE DEATH
Of 4 PRISONER
Man Beaten While Try
ing to Steal a Coat
Dies in Hospital.

Walter Gilbert, an alleged burglar, died
late last night In the Receiving Hospital.
The doctors are not certain whether his
skull Is fractured, and the police are not
certain whether his condition is the re-
suit of a beating administered to him by
p. Barry, clerk. who caught him while
he was attempting to steal q coat or
whether he received the injury which
caused his death by fall in the prison
cell.
The facts of the case are these: Shortly
after 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon Z.
Barry. who is a clerk in a grocery and
saloon at S14 Howard street, discovered
man making off with a coat that he
had left in a back room. He seized the
thief and a battle ensued. The two men
fought all Over the premises until Barry
succeeded in knocking his opponent out
He then called for Policeman c. K Small
and that officer had the beaten thief con-
veyed to the Receiving Hospital, where it
was found that his nose had been frac-
tured and his left ankle sprained. After
the physicians had attended his injuries
the man, who said he was Walter Gill
bert, and that his residence was at 13
Pearl street, was taken to the City Hall
prison and locked up on a charge
of attempted burglary. When the
officers started to search him they
found that he was wearing two
SOdlS' subsequent iINSSliSdIlOH proved
that the under coat was the property of
Edward Duffy, a plumber residing at 522
Eddy street, vino had been working about
the building where the fight between
Barry and Gilbert took place. This dis
covery led to a charge Of larceny being
preferred against Gilbert.
After Gilbert was locked UP two other
prisoners were brought to the Jail and
incarcerated in the cell with him. When
Policeman Lynch, who has charge of the
keys, made his round shortly afterward
the two prisoners said Gilbert was acting
queerly and they thought he was crazy.
AS Gilbert talked nationally to Lynch
he paid no more attention to the matter
At o'clock 1t is customary to move
some prisoners to the Hall of Justice and
when the police approached the cell they
found Gilbert lying on his face on the
floor. He was breathing heavily and was
unconscious. The other two prisoners
were asleep.
Gilbert was hastily returned to the Re-
ceiving Hospital. The doctors say there
was no evidence of Gilbert having a frac-
tured skull when he was first brought to
the hospital and they are inclined to the
! belief that he received the fatal injury
l,y a fall in his cell. The police have
been unable to learn much of the ante
cedents of Gilbert. AT 13 Pearl street it
Is said an eX-soldier who went by the
name of Jack Fitzgerald resided for a
time. Letters came for him, addressed to
Walter Gilbert.
Gilbert never regained consciousness
after being taken to the hospital the sec
ond time and died shortly before mid
night.
Barry was taken in charge by the police
after the death of Gilbert and will be held

to come out, and ne asked me if it was
not q fair shop. l told him no, it was a
non-union shop. I saw him working on
some cores which he said were for Eugene

it was a union shop. 1 asked him what
letters were on the castings and he told
me e G.. E. which is the Economist Gas

he was making was for a cylinder for

about this being for Schmitz and he said
he was told that by the employees in the

the rods from the casting and found that
the casting had already been sent away.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC FORMS
COMBINE WITH SANTA FE
Companies Agree as to the Hauling
Of Fruit Shipments to the
East

For the first time in the history Of rail-
read affairs in California the Southern
Pacific and the Santa Fe railways have
made a compact in reference to the price
TO be charged for hauling fruit to the
East. The story leaked out yesterday
that the roads had come to an under
standing and there is no little prospect
OF fruit shippers securing a lower rate.
II is expected that this will prove a
prosperous year for fruit growers. The
railroad companies have estimated that
they wiz haul 25 600 cars loaded with fruit
10 the Eastern markets. Last year there
was a great scarcity OF fruit cars ana

OF the Clarke coal mine by a strike. This
strike has been settled and as there is a
plentiful supply OF coal il is expected that
