MOTHER SUES SHIP OWNER
FOR HEAVY DAMAGES
She Alleges That Her Son Was Killed
on Bark Reaper Because of
Owners Negligence

Josephine OLSON filed suit in the
United States District Court yesterday
against A. p. Lorentzen, managing
owner of the American bark Reaper,
to recover $4,000 damages for the
death of her son. Charles S. OLSON.
The complaint recites that Charles
fell from the rigging to the deck on
October 4, 1903, while the ship was
lying in Oakland harbor, and that his
fall was caused by the parting of GER
tain ratlines and settings that had
become rotten and unsafe by reason
of the negligence of the owner of the
vessel. Olsson's left leg was broken
by the fall and he sustained internal
injuries which caused his death. The
plaintiff resides in Sweden.

had been purchased by him for a col

the Judge took his word for it and re-
lieved the tribunal of his somber pres
ence.
Harry Cooper and James Joseph,
young fellows who stole cigars and
liquors from Henry Bullwinkle's gro
Gerry on Polk street, were SEN
fenced to six months imprisonment by
Judge Mogan.
John Bowling, hackman, and John
Pulce, bartender, were discussing the
relative fistic merits of Joseph Cans
and James Edward Britt when Mr..
Bowling abruptly closed the argument
by punching Mr.. Pulce's right eye, for
which offense Mr.. Bowling was arrest
ed and charged with battery. In the
court Of Judge Mogan there was such
evident reluctance on the part Of Mr..
Pulce to push his complaint that the
case was cast out and then Mr.. Pulce
and Mr.. Bowling cordially shook hands
and walked away together.
Dentist NJ. E. Smith, arrested for
recklessly firing his pistol on the Ocean
Beach last Sunday, was dismissed by
Judge Mogan. Mr.. and Mrs. Barker,
who complained that a bullet fired by
the tooth expert had narrowly missed
their heads as they sat communing
with Neptune were in court when the
dismissal was ordered and seemed to be
somewhat dissatisfied with the outcome
of their relentless prosecution of the
case. The defendant proved pretty
thoroughly that he did not know there
was a human being within range when
he pulled the>trigger.

People Have Recovered From the
Purchase of Glen Miller-What
John L. Rupe Says.

A Palladium representative has in
terviewed a number of business men
IN regard to the building of the pavil-
ion In Glen Miller. Most of the men
seen favor the proposition. Some say
it would be nice thing to have, but
they would rather see more park
grounds added. The concensus of
opinion is that the pavilion should be
built, and, in building, good sub
stantial structure should be erected.
1t is as Mr.. John L. Rupe said at the
Commercial club meeting the other
night: People who can see the
necessity for 1t now will live to real
ize 1t later on
Mr.. Rupe was mayor of Richmond
when Glen Miller was purchased,
and people then said Mr.. Rupe would
never be able TO live down the odium
he placed upon himself and the city
by the lavish expenditure of the city's
money. But, said Mr. Rupe, ''the
people who talked that way are all
dead now, and am still living.'
1t is certain that if the taxpayers
are willing the city council ought to
be. Let the good work go on, and en-
courage one of the best movements
ever made in the city. Some persons
may say it will leave an odium. but
like that of Mr.. Rupe, will die out
before very long.
