YOUNG WOMAN
FINDS DEATH
Mrs. Eta Pence Wants to
Die and Drains Contents
of a Bottle of CarbOlic Acid

Coincidental with the tragic suicide
of pretty Mollie Gordon on June 9 was
the successful attempt at self-destruc-
ton last evening of Mrs. Eta Pence, a
schoolmate and neighbor of that unfor-
tunate girl. Carbolic acid was the me-
dunn selected by Mrs. Pence to take
her life and her cozy little home at 1855
Mission street the scene of the affair.
Melancholia covering a period of three
years is the cause assigned by the rel
atives.
The unfortunate woman, who was but
% years of age, resides with her hus-
band. Omer Nj. Pence, and their 3-year-
old boy at the Mission-street address.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon
Pence. who is an expressman. was ap-
preached by a neighbOr. who informed
him that Mrs. Pence had displayed a
bottle of carbolic acid and declared her
intention of committing suicide. Pence
Immediately repaired to his home and
found his wife engaged in preparing
the evening meal. He questioned her
relative to the matter and she stated
that the bottle had been destroyed.
About half an hour later Mrs. Pence
was found lying unconscious on a
lounge in the house with an empty bot
tie that had contained the acid by her
side. Directly underneath the window

MURDERER MAY
Be IN TOLLS
Police Capture a Man Sup
posed to Be Implicated
in Old Denver Mystery
NEGRO POINTS HIM OUT
Remark in Shooting Gallery
May Lead to Conviction
of Desperate AssasSins

The mysterious and brutal murder
Of Patrolmen Griffin and Griffiths by
| notorious thugs in Denver in 1898 may
be cleared up in this city by the arrest
last evening of one John Thomas. alias
George Glare. alias Henry Clay.
Thomas let drop some remarks
in shooting gallery which were over
heard by James Hudspeth, a negro, and
were reported TO the police.
The story is d strange one and savors
of an old-time detective plot. The ne
gro was in a shooting gallery on Grant
avenue, near Geary street, and hap
pened TO make several bullseyes.
Thomas was standing near by and
casually remarked that the negro was
a good shot.
Yes, I shoot very well at times, "
said Hudspeth.
well, that may be-" said Thomas.
but you are not a marker to an old
pal of mine. He dropped two coppers
in Denver one night and 1t was a
pretty piece of work.
This statement was so bold and came
with such suddenness that Hudspeth
was interested. He was a resident OF
Denver at the time and knew the facts
of the case thoroughly. He gradually
drew Thomas into conversation, and
sions.
When he perceived that Hudspeth
was familiar with the case Thomas
grew suspicious and beat hasty re-
treat from the shooting gallery. Huds-
peth followed him down Grant avenue
and at the corner of Geary street he
met Patrolmen Brady and Duffy and
related the strange tale to them.
The policemen arrested Thomas and
took him to the City Prison. There he
gave the name of George Clare, and
later that of Henry Clay. When first
arrested he said he was John Thomas
of Seattle and that he had never been
in Denver in his life.
He was closely questioned at the City
Prison. but gave an evasive answer to
every Interrogation, refusing to tell
where he came from or where he re-
sided. When the mention of the murder
of the two policemen in Denver was
made the prisoner grew deathly pale
and became nervous, clutching at the
iron railing for support.
His name was placed on the detinue
book and he will be held until the local
police communicate with the Denver
authorities and find out further facts
regarding the case. The prisoner is
supposed to be either the man who did
the shooting or else a pal" of one
Llewellyn. who was a noted bad man
of Denver at the time the crime was
committed and who the police authori-
ties believed fired the fatal shot.
Thomas is man between 80 and 40
years old. He is about feet inches
in height and weighs about 1870 pounds.
He wears a sandy mustache and his
hair is of the same hue. He looks like
a typical criminal and his manner de-
notes the bad man. His face bears a
dissipated look and from all appear
ances he is a degenerate whom the
casual observer would pick out for a
criminal at first sight

ARMY BASE AT sIUYEN.
Japanese Strongly Established Along
Line from Kaichau to Yentai.

LIAOYANG, June 81. delayed in
transmission.)-The Japanese army
base at Siuyen is evidently strongly
established along a line from Kaichau
TO Yentai.
Rumors of a battle northeast of
Kaichau are evidently correct.
The japanese this week advanced
TO a point sixteen miles east of Kai-
chau, but retired.
1t is presumed that General Oku is
now advancing TO the north by the
way Of Fuchau and the coast road.
thus enabling him to obtain provisions
from the sea
Spectators at the battle of Vafang-
ten claim to have seen on one oc-
casfon three horsemen appear on a
hill. one of whom, according to a
Russian officer. resembling either an
American or British attache. fell from
his horse when the Russians fired and
was evidently killed.
From reliable source It is report
ed that the Japanese in the vicinity of
Port Arthur are now entirely inactive
and that the Russians are not con-
cerned regarding the situation there,
that in the north being now the most
important factor.
The japanese fleet is probably CO.
operating with General Oku's advance
along the coast.
Heavy rains have been falling since
June 16 and have hampered opera
tions. They indicate the commence
ment of the rainy season in the south
though possibly for a month or more
il will be dry in the north.

NO TRACE OF LOOMS
FOUND BY HIS FRIENDS
Agents of Steamship Company Unable
to Throw Any Light on His
DiSaDDearance.

LONDON, June 22.-Apparently moth
ing is known in regard to the disap-
pearance of Kent J. Loomis, brother of
assistant Secretary of State Loomis,
who was a passenger on board the
North German Lloyd steamer Kaiser
Wilhelm II, which left New York June
IA and arrived at Plymouth Monday
morning and at Bremen yesterday. In
quiries made at Bremen show that
Loomis was seen at midnight Saturday
and that he was missed at noon Mon
day. No one seems to know what hap
pened in the interval. The representa-
tives of the agents of the line who
boarded the Kaiser Wilhelm II at
Plymouth spoke TO Captain George
mann, the Durser. the doctor of the
steamer and others on board, but they
had heard nothing of the disappear
ance of the passenger.
dispatch received here from Bre-
men to-day reads:
THE North German Lloyd Company
has no information about Mr.. Loomis
beyond the fact that he was missed an
hour before the arrival of the steamer
at Plymouth. Whether II was an acci-
dent or suicide is not known"
A dispatch from Paris says that ap-
prehension has been aroused there
concerning the whereabouts Of Loomis
and that on the request of friends the
agents Of the company are making in
quiries.

WOMAN
OF CRESCENT
CITY IS DEAD

CRESCENT CITY, June 22.-Mrs.
Margaret NJ. Breen, one of the pioneer
women of Northern California, died at
her home in Crescent City on June 16
at the age of 6S years.
Mrs. Breen was borll in st. Johns,
Newfoundland. Her maiden name was
Margaret NJ. Lacy and she was mar
ried to John Breen in the city Of Bos-
ton in 1868, coming to California in the
same year. In 1881 Mr.. and Mrs. Breen
with their family moved to Crescent
City, where they have since resided. A
kind and loving wife, a devoted mother
a true friend, has been called to rest
She was a good Christian and the only
monument she desired was her con-
sciousness of having done good to her
fellow creatures. She took the bitter
cup of life as it was presented, tenn
pered by the hand of a wise Provi-
dence, thankful for the good, patient
for the evil and never inquiring why
the latter predominates. Kind
thoughtful and gentle to the end, she
quietly, peacefully passed over the
dark river away out upon the endless
mystical delta of the beyond, over the
trackless trail where so many have
preceded her. leaving to mourn her
death a beloved husband and three de-
voted sons, ]. ]. Breen, John r. Breen
and William F. Breen.
