Albert p. ThOrndike was about 30
years of age. His mother who is

raised in San jose Ten years ago he
married Miss Bertha Bruce a popular
young society girl and daughter of the

while he conducted grocery on
the Alameda, near Stockton avenue
and later was manager of Wemple's
grocery in this city. 1t is said
he was also assistant librarian in the
State Library at Sacramento. For
some time Thorndike had been a part
neF of A. c. Eaton in the job printing
business He has not been attending
to business properly for some time.
and last Thursday he transferred his
interest IN the printing Office to his
wife. Eaton declares the man acted as
though he were insane.
Thorndike has been playing the races
and gambling heavily, and II is fu-
mored that during the present month
he squandered about $4,000. Nearly
every day he went to San Francisco to
gamble on the races. and yesterday he
returned from there sadly downcast-
1t is supposed he lost heavily. His
finances were badly entangled, and it is
thought he Dlanped this morning rob-
berry in order to secure money to meet
pressing bills.
Mrs. Thorndike has considerable prop
erty in her own name, and she and
her husband moved in the most exclu-
sive society in the city.
MAN PROBABLY INSANE.
An inquest will be held tomorrow
afternoon at o'clock over the remains
of Thorndike. No new developments
are looked for. except that testimony
will be introduced tending to show that
his mind was diseased. The body of
the dead man was removed from the
Morgue to undertaking parlors this aft
ernoon.
Not since the Durham murders in
1896 has so much interest been created
by a crime in this city.
1umOr was circulated IndI InOrn-
dixie had committed suicide when COR
nered. but this is dispelled by the fact
that he was not powder burned Be
yond all question of doubt Officer
Swenson inflicted the three wounds.
Chief Carroll in speaking of the crime
stated he believed that Thorndike
through his losses in gambling on the
races and otherwise was tempted 70
commit the robbery. The TevolvsTs
found on the dead man were of the
cheapest kind.

Mississippi river Friday night Michael
Riley, his daughter and six Of the lat
ter's little girl friends, were drowned.
One child who was in the party was
rescued. Riley lived near the river in

Water Tank Burst.

A dispatch to The State says the
big water tank at Vests a small sta
tion on the Southern road four miles
from Charleston, burst Thursday
morning at II O'Clock, seriously in.
juring J. A. McLemore, who was in
charge Of the pump house, wrecking
the pump house and doing consider
able damage to the telegraph wires.
The tank was completely wrecked.
The accident was caused by too much
water being in the tank, the strain be-
ing too great on tina iron bands which
held the tank together. McLemore
was In the act Of releasing some Of the
water so as to relieve the pressure
when the tank burst, and great vol
ume Of water came upon him washing
him some distance. Several pieces OF
the tank struck him on his right arm,
inflicting severe bruises. The pump
house was in the direct path OF the
volume Of water and 1t was partially
wrecked. The telegraph wires which
were attacked to the top Of the tank
popped and for some time railroad
telegraph communication was inter.
rupted. A new tank will be erected
at once.

Killed by Lightning.

a special to The State from Green
vile says news reached here from Maui
diDs OF the killing Of John p. Clark
and Charles B. Garrett, farmers, by
lightning near that village Monday
afternoon. Another farmer, George
Thompson, was standing by and re
ceived serious injuries. Physicians
say be will probably die. The two
farmers were sharpening tools on a
grindstone when the bolt struck. They
were killed instantly, their bodies
being badly burned and their clothing
literally torn from them. A peculiar
freak of the lightning was the destruc
ton Of bee gum about five feet from
where the men were killed. Every
bee in the hive was killed by the same
bolt that killed the two farmers and
seriously injured another.
