ALLEGED THIEF
HELD BY WOMAN
Mrs. T. Lundy, While Board
ing Crowded Car, Catches
Man Acting SuSpiciouSly
PRISONER Is SEARCHED
Believed to Have Passed Her
Purse to Confederate Pos
ing as Special Detective

A daring piece Of pickpocket work
was accomplished yesterday afternoon
on a beach car about to feave the cor
ner of Fourth and Stevenson streets
and Henry E. wisherd is lodged at the
City Prison on charge of grand lar
ceny. The complainant is Mrs. T.
Lundy Of s47 Stanyan street, wife Of
the jeweler, who has a store in the Call
building.
Mrs. Lundy, accompanied by her hus-
band and her son, Arthur Lundy, was
boarding a beach car amid a jostling
crowd that was attempting to get
seats. While on the rear platform of
the car Mrs. Lundy felt herself vio-
lently thrust forward and at the same
time Arthur Lundy demonstrated with
Wisherd, but as the latter apologized
nothing more was thought Of the oc-
currence.
A minute later Mrs. Lundy dis
covered that her purse containing $50
was gone and the peculiar actions of
Wisherd directed suspicion to him. Ac-
cording to Arthur Lundy Wisherd had
gone to the front of the car, then
jumped off and was standing on the
curb.
Mrs. Lundy ran toward Wisherd and
seizing him by the arm accused him of
stealing her purse. He made no at
tempt to break away but appeared TO
be hesitating about making any state
ment beyond the fact that she had
made a mistake. Suddenly, according
to Mrs Lundy, WisherG exclaimed,
We'll, take me into the store here and
search me-
AS the party entered the store a
short man dressed in a long ulster
coat pushed through the crowd. threw
back his coat showing a star and
claimed to be a special detective. He
made a hasty examination Of the pris-
orer and announced that there was no
purse on him and suggested that he be
released.
At this juncture Mr.. Lundy returned
with Policemen Driscoll and McQuaide,
who took Wisherd into custody. When
the policemen arrived the man claim
ing to be the special officer disappeared.
The Lundys believe that this man was
a confederate and obtained possession
of the purse.
Wisherd was taken to the Fourth
and Clara streets station and when
searched no purse was found on him.
He said he was a bartender and lately
arrived from New York and that he
lived on Geary street

made a revelation.
Mr.. Laughlin until recently was a
missionary in China, where also is
Mrs. Herring, an ardent worker in the
missionary field. 1t transpired that
Elijah III has been a-casting PAM
phlets aboard citing the case of his
miraculous cure of child named Rey
in Sydney, Australia, Dowie giving the
case as the one where the first knowl-
edge of his power as a healer was re-
vealed to him by God.
The story as told by Mrs. Herring,
sister of Miss Rey,' said Mr.. Laugh
I'm, ''is that many years ago Dowie in
his capacity as pastor visited the Rey
family, which was in sore distress
through the illness of the child. The
girl had been unconscious for some
time Mrs. Herring admits that Alex
ander Dowie prayed at the bedside, but
she says that the burden of prayer was
not that the child should recover, but
that divine consolation might be
granted the family who would be be-
reaved in the event 81 death. He had
no hope of the child's recovery, Mrs.
Herring says, as was. evidenced by the
ldCl that WHcH lie 1S1l Tie cOILOWAllS
household and was asked by neighbors
concerning the little ones condition
he replied that she was dying and
even by that time had probably de-
parted this life.
Mrs. Herring relates that after his
leaving the house her mother placed
the girl in hot bath and wrapped her
up in blankets as a last hope. This
caused the patient to breathe easier
and she woke to consciousness.
Coupled with this there had been a
change of physicians just prior to
Dowie's visit. followed by a complete
change also in treatment.
Mrs. Herring said the family never
thought of attributing the recovery to
miraculous healing in answer to-
prayer apart from the use of medical
treatment. Indeed, the family was
astonished to see that Dowie had at
tributed the recovery to the influence
of his prayer or 'divinely given
power
The Rev. Mr.. Fisk showed pictures
taken of Dowie and the tabernacle.
The latter picture shows 5000 persons
attending service at 6 o'clock in the
morning. On January Mr.. Fisk will
read paper before the association
dealing with Zion City.

SORROW COMES
AFTER REVELRY

After the feasting and rejoicing the
Christmastide brought death and
mourning into the home of Frank Nc
Donough at 951 Harrison street yester-
day morning. When the tapers on the
Christmas tree in the parlor were re-
lighted and preparations begun for the
morning meal, the master of the house
was found cold in death Then the
lights were extinguished, the wreaths
Of holly berry taken out of the front
windows and Grape was substituted as
mute witness that skeleton Nemesis
hides behind the garlands of every
feast.

ty on Sunday night to fourteen friends
A young redwood tree was in the front
room lighted with tapers of various
colors and scintillating with gilded bon
bons. Around the tree were strewn
on the carpet gifts brought by the in
vited guests. The dining room and
parlor were festooned with evergreens
and heavy with the fragrance Of flow
ers. The long table, decorated with
smilax, holly, Gala lilies and roses, was
laden with the good things of the
feast. Wine cheered the guests, and
the night resounded with rcyelry.
Frank McDonough succumbed early
to the tempting conditions. and his
wife placed him on a couch In the
kitchen and made him comfortable for
the night. Shortly after midnight the
party retired Mrs. McDonough sleep
ing in her own room with a lady friend
from Oakland. At five minutes past :
o'clock yesterday morning Mrs Nc
Donough went into the kitchen TO
arouse her husband. She found the
room full of illuminating gas, and her
husband cold in death. The dead mans
elder brother, who slept upstairs. was
hurriedly aroused. The odor of the
gas was strong in his room also. He
was almost overcome by the poison,
and he was dressed in quick haste and
was rushed outside into the cold air
and caused to walk about for half an
hour A roomer named J. Tyrell, who

brother, was also found almost uncon-

UNIDENTIFIED MAN
CUTS HIS THROAT
Aged Unfortunate Believed to Be a
Dishwasher Found Dead in Bed
With Razor Near

An unknown man was found dead
in bed yesterday morning in the st.
Davids House, 715 Howard street.
His throat had been cut from ear to
ear. Close to his right hand was
blood-stained razor. The man had
been rooming at the st. David's House
irregularly for about two weeks. No
one knew his name or occupation, but
it is believed that he was a dish
washer. He was between so and 60
years old and shabbily dressed.
Nothing was found on his person by
which he could be identified.
From the position of the body and
the blood stains there is little doubt
that the unfortunate man took his own
life.

Country school boards should

If you desire good school, go at it
in a businesslike way. Get together
early and decide what you can pay,
then secure the best teachers pos
sible at an early date and make con-
tract. Better still, offer the teach
ers a good yearly contract. The
best teachers are employed fiji st,
and at longer periods than poor
teachers. A poor school at any
price is really worse than worthless,
for the districts money is gone and
pupils have lost time forever. But
a good school is without price.
Most men and women can look
back and pick out one teacher who
did them more good than all others
put together. Such teachers have
no market value. Get one if you
can.
