OFGREN GIVES
UP THE BAT TIE
Laborer Breaks His Hip
and Then Yields to
Dependency.
Writes to a Pretty Widow
Whom He Loved and
Shoots Himself

G.. F. Lofgren, q laborer, lately en-
ployed at the Union Iron Works, COM
mitiei suicide yesterday morning in his
lodgings, III Bryant street, by shooting
himself through the head with a re-
volver. He had been obliged to quit
work several weeks ago because of an
accident resulting in the breaking ct
his right hip, since which time he had
been respondent. His dependency was
increased by over-indulgence in alco-
holic stimulants and by the fact that
he was in love with Mrs. Clara Peter
son, pretty widow residing at 2l7
Langton street. She had taken an in
terest in him and had visited him sew
eral times at the hospital, but when he
took to drink she would not have any
thing further to do with him.
He left a note stating that he had
broken his hip in an accident and had
been discharged without cause The
note concludes: AT present 1 cannot
get anything to do because l am not
well yet, and as 1 cannot be a thief or
a beggar l am doomed to die of starva-
ton; so l prefer bullets He also left
brief note of farewell in Swedish ad-
dressed to Mrs. Peterson.
Lofgren was q native of Sweden, SO
years old.

WANDERER ENDS
LIFE WITH ROPE
Matthew ROurke's Body
Found Hanging to
a Tree.
Postman George White Makes
a Startling Discovery
Near COlma

As Postman George White was
no road yesterday morning he was
startled to see the body Of a man hang
ing from the limb of tree in a little
wooded clump on the Robinson ranch.
White hastily cut the still warm body
down and at once notified Acting CorO-
ner Cunningham of San Mateo County.
The remains were identified some
hours later by George Duncan as
those of Matthew Rourke, a former
inmate Of the Almshouse.
Dependency drove the unfortunate
man to suicide. He was penniless and
without friends, with no prospects of
lettering his condition, so he chose
suicide as the only resort to rid him
self OF his misery.
No one in the vicinity Of Colma or
San Bruno knew the man. He was
not seen by any one in that section of
the country and had probably wan
dered there with the intention OF end
Ing his existence. Nothing was found
in his pockets as to his identity save
a scrap Of paper on which was written
the name and address of Charles Dun
can, 637 Linden avenue.
Duncan was formerly engineer at
the Almshouse and he identified the
dead man by his general description.
Duncan states that ROurke was an in
mate OF the place for some time and
was given a position as assistant en-
gineer at a salary OF $40 a month
Several months ago Rourke fell
asleep while on watch and was dis
charged from his position. Soon af-
ter that he left the Almshouse and
since then Duncan heard nothing of
him. Duncan states that Rourke was
for many years an engineer and was
considered a 1rst-class man in his
day.
He often spoke of a woman friend.
who lived on Guerrero street, but
never mentioned her name. Rourke
was a native of Ireland and about So
years of age. He was attired in a dark
gray suit soft black hat and heavy
shoes. The remains were sent to the
Morgue at Redwood City.

sHAsTA,s EXHIBITION.

The Redding Free Press tells as fol-
lows of the mineral exhibit that Shasta
County will make at the ST. Louis Ex-
position to illustrate it's mineral re-
sources:
Shasta County will be well advertised
in the California mineral exhibit at ST.
Louis. There will be almost ten tons
of specimen ore from Shasta County,
and this exhibit will be placed in an
important place in the States exhibit, as
Shasta leads the counties in mineral
production.
There will be at least six tons of COP
per ore specimens, and Of this the Noun
most ton and the Delamar Company
several hundred pounds. The pioneer
quartz mill will weigh over a ton and
will undoubtedly attract much attention
at the fair.
The entire collection, when placed on
exhibition, will be arranged so as to keep
the different ores classified and sepa-
rated. Each piece of ore is labeled and
described.
Shasta County's exhibit will contain
specimens Of gold, silver, copper, galena
quicksilver and iron ores.
If all the mine owners who have prom
Used to send specimens keep that prom
fse there will be over ton more ore
sent to the exhibit. A special effort
should be made by those interested in
mining to secure good. attractive speci-
mems Of our ores and send them to be
placed with the rest Of Shasta County's
display
According to Mr. Madeira, who has
been making the collection. Shasta's min
eral exhibit will be the best at the big
show.

THIS TRAIN
WAS 1040
DAYS LATE
Caught In Awful Storm That
Overwhelmed Galveston. Fin.
ally Reaches B0Idlmont.

Beaumont. Tex. Aug. S.-on Sunday
on the Gulf and Interstate Railroad pulled
into the passenger station at Beaumont
just l,040 days late. Starting from Gal
weston on the morning OF Sept s, 1900, II
has been stalled half way between the
two cities since that date. Special fes-
tivtties marked the arrival of the belated
No. l.
or the passengers who started with the
train many met death The others
walked and rode in wagons. leaving the
engine more than two years and a half
behind. In the wind, rain and weather
the train has stood where II was stalled
so long ago only TO be finally rescued
and brought 10 cover as a relic of other
days. The same locomotive that started
so long ago pulled the same weather
beaten and diLapldated coaches through
to the destination that should have been
reached four hours after the start was
made
The Gulf and Interstate Railroad was
originally constructed as a freight road
for the hauage OF granite for use on the
Galveston jetties. Passenger trains were
put on and the road did a prosperous
business up to the time the train left
Galveston on the morning OF Sept. 8,
1900. Halfway between the two cities
the train was caught I'm the terrible storm
that overwhelmed Galveston.
Some of the passengers left the coaches
to seek safety in the house close at hand.
Others remained and were Joined by in
habitants from round about. Not per-
son who remained on the cars was in
tured. Those who left met death in the
water that rose up over the land.
But the track both ahead and behind
the train was washed away. Not a ves-
tige Of the rails remained except be-
meath the wheels OF the train. The pas
sengers subsidized for days upon supplies
brought from farmhouses before the full
fonce OF the elements swept them away.
and upon the fruit and candy in the
stock OF the train-peddler. When the
water went down and the ground dried
out the men and women who had start
ed from Galveston on the morning of
the storm set out to walk the remain
ing 30 miles TO their destination. They
reached Beaumont in safety
Since that time The road has Lbeen-fr
the hands OF a receiver. The destroyed
track was not rebuilt and the abandoned
train had for almost three years been
standing on the prairie as though II had
been picked UP and dropped on the spot.
Within the past year. the road as much
as was left was sold. A bonus for its
reconstruction was demanded and the
amount raised in Beaumont and Calves
ton. The old roadbed has been utilized
for the new track and the rails laid to
the abandoned train. An engineer was
sent to the rusty locomotive and sue
ceeded In fixing IL in shape for the run
10 Beaumont.
When It pulled into the station two
years. nine months and 26 days behind
II was greeted by salutes from all the
engines in the Beaumont yards In the
cars rode the officials of the road. The
event was made the occasion for a gen.
eral celebration in the city
