threatened suicide, she went back into

bottle. which contained carbolic acid.

on the left side Of Mrs. Cawley's face,
burning 1t severely. Maddened with
pain, she ran into the street scream

acid, and when she re-entered the room
with neighbors her husband fell dead

The associates of the unfortunate
man say that he had been exhibiting

FIRE FIGHTERS
ON EXHIBITION
Members of Department Give
Drill for Moving Pictures
to Be Shown at st Louis

At the request of the California
the San Francisco Fire Department
gave an exhibition drill at the drilling
tower on Seventeenth street, near Fol-
som, yesterday afternoon. Moving
during the drill and these will be ex-
hibited at the ST. Louis Worlds Fair
TO acquaint the world with the ef-
ficiency and equipment of the San
Francisco Fire Department.
Four crews took part in the drill,
which consisted of hose work, POM
pier ladder and belt maneuvers, Ben
gal ladder drill and rescue work. So
rapidly were the maneuvers accom-
plished that only 250 yards of the pic
ture tape was required to take all the
impressions of the drill. The oper-
ator said it was the best series of
moving pictures he had ever taken.
The hose drill consisted in taking
a 100-foot line of hose from the
ground to the top of the tower while
the remainder of the crew attached
hose to the standpipe hydrants at the
SCCOHNy AiilAd anu III SUITES OIL the
tower and carried the lines to the roof.
One minute and forty-two seconds
after the alarm four streams were
playing from the top of the tower.
The pompier ladder and belt drill
copsisted in raising scaling ladders
from the ground to the top of the
tower. up which a fireman rushed.
Once on top of the roof the fireman
seized comrade, attached him to his
pompier belt with a rope and de-
scended on the scaling line rapidly and
safely to the ground.
The extension ladder drill followed
and fifty feet of the tower was scaled
with line Of hose within a few Sec
onds. The last and most thrilling feat
was when a fireman threw himself at
random from the fourth story of the
tower and was caught in the life net
as easily as an expert player would
catch a ball.
The drill was in charge of Secord
Assistant Chief Shaughnessy and he
was very proud of the work of the
men. He said it was one of the most
perfect drills he had ever witnessed
in the department.

ALLEGES HE WAS ROBBED
BY MAN AND TWO WOMEN
Arrest of Gertie and Ruby Smith
and Joseph May.

Warrants were obtained from Po-
lice Judge Mogan yesterday for the
arrest of Gertie Smith, Ruby Smith
and Joseph May, a bartender. on a
charge of petty larceny, but the
charge may be changed to one Of rob-
berry. The complaining witness is Z.
V. Taylor, 321 Pacific street.
Taylor alleges that the two women
came to his room on the night of June
and started in drinking. During the
revelry May came into the room and
he and the two women threw Taylor
to the floor, took off his coat and vest,
which contained $50, and ran away
with the articles, which were later
recovered in Mays room, but the
money had disappeared.
May has been in the City Prison
ever since last Wednesday morning in
connection with robbery of Jo-
seph Brezinski, saloon-keeper at 4O2
Pacific street. Raynie Langford, who
is supposed to have acted as a decoy
for J. w. Jerrett and John Duzske. ar
rested for the robbery, was found in
Mays room by the police.

DARING CLIMB
OF A BURGLAR
John Clancy Takes Desper-
ate Chances While Reach
inc ParOchial Residence

John Clancy, a victim of the cocaine
habit, hung around the corner of Cal
ifornia and Dupont streets for more
than two hours yesterday morning
and about o'clock effected an en-
trance 10 the parochial residence of
the Paulist Fathers adjoining St.
AIary's Church through a window in
the top story. He had climbed over
the roofs of houses on Dupont street
from Sacramento to reach the paroch-
ial residence.
John Baker, the butler, saw him
sliding down the balustrade and raised
an alarm Clancy dashed out OF the
front door, pursued by Baker, and af-
ter a chase of several blocks Clancy
ran into the arms Of Policeman Grun-
wald. who took him TO the City Prison.
An investigation showed that Clan
cy had made a thorough search IN
the library for something that he
could carry away with him and sell
without trouble, but nothing was
missing and when searched at the City
Prison nothing of an discriminating
nature was found upon him.
For the last six months articles
have been stolen from the parochial
residence, but no clew could be got to
the thief or how he could possibly
have obtained an entrance. It is now
suspected that Clancy has been the
thief and that he followed the same
course in climbing over the roofs.
Clancy has served a term of six
months for vagrancy and was released
about the beginning of the year.

HORNBROOK NEEDS DRUG
STORE AND SECURES ONE
Novel Use of California State Board
of Trade Is Successfully Made
bY Town.


by a Town.
Some time ago the people Of Horn
brook, IN Siskiyou County. realized
that among their necessities was the
existence Of a drug store in their
town. systematically they went 10
work to secure such an institution.
The population Of Hornbrook is small
and the health of the people, owing
to their climate and their out Of door
habits, has been discouragingly good
to any medical man or chemist. But
there are fieshly ills in all parts Of the
world and there are some at Horn
brook.
There was something novel in this
quest for needed drug store. Pos
sibly it was unexampled. The people
were. however. equal to the emer-
gency They wrote to the California
State Board of Trade concerning their
needs and wishes. Manager Arthur
r. Briggs, as soon as he received their
letter, sent out circular communica-
ton addressed to the drug trade Of
San Francisco. in which it was asked
that HornbroOk should be borne in
mind. Yesterday a letter was re-
ceived from Mack & Co, in which
the statement was contained that T.
M. Teass has decided to go to Horn
brook and dispense drugs TO the peo-
pie. This was promptly commune
Gated to Hornbrook by Manager

Nothing was accomplished yester-
day by the Harbor Commissioners to-
ward deciding the truth of the charge
made by Charles ]. Lercari against
Wolf & Son relative to illegal discrim-
ination in business on the Washing
ton-street wharf. The reason was
that Attorney J. B. Reinstein, who is
counsel for Wolf & Son and others,
sent a letto~ in which the board was
informed that he was too ill to appear.
AS consequence the final proceedings
in the Lercari-Wolf case and the tes-
timony in other cases went over until

FULL MILITARY RITES.

The funeral took place yesterday
morning from the late quarters of the
suicide at Angel Island. The body lay
in state until about 1880, attended by
a guard of soldiers. 1t was then borne
to the steamer Mcdowell and brought
to this city. 1t was accompanied by
Colonel A. c. Markley, Adjutant Eu-
gene McAlexander, Captain ]. r.
Lindsey, Captain A. S. Kerwin, Cap
tain Samuel L. Faison, Captain F. p.
Siviter, Lieutenant II. A. Hanigan and
Lieutenant A. c. Arnold.
When the Mcdowell reached the
Clay-street wharf the funeral party
was received by Major Morrow, Major
A. r. Paxton, Captain Charles R.
Rowland and a large number of rep
resentative men from the Bohemian
Club. The body was placed upon a
caisson, drawn by six magnificent
black chargers. The casket was
covered with the American flag, which
was almost hidden from view by a
great wealth of floral offerings.
Preceded by the band and followed
by officers, friends and a company of
the Thirteenth Infantry, the cortege
slowly moved up East street to the
ferry depot from which point the body
was sent East to the father and
mother of the deceased, now residing
in Chicago.
An investigation into the causes of
his death will be commenced next
week, but the board has not yet been
appointed.

WILD'S SUICIDE
MOST TRAGIC
Examination Shows Young
Officer Pressed Pistol Close
to Heart and Fired Shot
A TRIBUTE TO THE DEAD
Comrades in Arms of the
Deceased March in I'M
posing Funeral Cortege

That Captain Frederick Samuel
Wild took his own life is no longer a
matter of question. The examination
made by the surgeons and others who
had the case in charge established be-
yond doubt that he deliberately
killed himself. From the position and
appearance of the body he must have
stood directly in front of the mirror,
and, then pressing the pistol close In
the flesh, directly over his heart, he
fired the fatal shot His entire heart
and the portions Immediately sur
rounding it were torn into fragments,
causing a wound of enormous size.
The bullet passed through his body,
and. striking his spinal column, shat
tered it in two. Death was instan-
taneous.
The reasons and causes for the un-
timely end of this brilliant young Of
hcer are still shrouded in the deepest
mystery. The sensation of his death
and his funeral were the sole topics of
conversation outside of business af-
fairs at army headquarters yesterday.
No one could offer any solution for his
mysterious taking off, but one and all
his friends (and he seemed to be well
known throughout the whole army
circle here) spoke of him with the
highest regard and regrets at his un-
timely death

GLOOM AT HEADQUARTERS.

A spirit of gloom pervaded all the
offices at army headquarters. Major
S. w. Dunning, in speaking of the af-
fair. said:
Il can see no possible reason for
Captain Wild's rash act. He was a
brave man and was never a coward.
II there was a mysterious something
in the background / do not think that
would force him to take his life. His
affairs are all straight"
Captain Charles r. Rowland, who
was also an intimate friend, could
offer no possible solution. Major
Henry NJ. Morrow, who was also an
intimate friend, was entirely at a loss
to account for the motive of Captain
Wild's death. OF course, there are
many rumors flying through the build
ing that the affair with the fascinating
Mrs. Evelyn Pittman probably had
something to do with it. That he was
her devoted friend until a few months
past was a we'll known fact. For the
last few months, however, they had
been very little together, although he
frequently telephoned to her fiat and
only last week went to call upon her,
but he was told that she was mot at
home"
1t was also rumored that he had
been brooding over his connection
with the Madden case, in which he
acted as attorney for Captain Hector
A. Robichon. This case is again to
be opened up in August and it is
thought possible he might again be
dragged into further notoriety and de-
cided to put an end to matters before
they had gone any farther

NJ. M. Johnson, who bonded the

and 1872 20 gold or 1868 So per ton.
In the Nelson group a drift is being
run both ways on the 400 .foot level

feet OF this averaged $2s 40 gold and
202 OF. silver and in the other drift
fourteen inches Of ore averaged 442
Oh. silver and $l2 so gold per ton.
The mill is crushing thirty tons OF

Of 238 OF. silver and $40 20 gold, the

Important Ruling.

The federal court of appeals at San
Francisco has handed down a decision
affirming the decision Of the lower
court in favor of the Bunker Hill and
Sullivan Mining company VS.. the Last
Chance Mining company, says the
Lead and Zinc News. This suit, which
has been drawn through the courts
for many months, was brought by the
plaintiffs in an effort to quiet title to
the extra lateral extensions of the
Bunker Hill vein into the Last Chance
property at Wardner, Idaho. The
latter company claimed that the
Bunker Hill company claimed that
its side lines should be construed as
its end lines, and claimed the right
to mine ore on the dip Of the vein
within the plane of the side lines ex-
tended. The claim was contes ted on
the ground that the confirmation of
such a claim would give the Bunker
Hill the right to mine the vein on the
strike of the vein instead of the dip.
and that, If the Bunker Hill continued
to mine within the plane of its side
lines, it would eventually come to the
surface. This ruling of the court of
appeals establishes a precedent in
determining the rights Of mine locat-
ors in similar cases and is of much
interest to the mining interests of
the country.

BETTER FIRE PROTECTION.
A Narrow Escape from a Serious
COnhagratfOn.


What might have developed into a
fire that would undoubtedly have
caused the destruction of at least
hall the town occurred Just before 4
O'Clock on Thursday morning at the
Merchants Cafe. A gasoline stove
standing at the entrance to the pan
try from the dining room exploded
and in a few moments the whole
house would have been in flames but
for the promptness and courage of
George Cole who at a great risk to
himself carried the blazing stove into
the street. Practically no damage
was done but the scorching of the
walls and ceiling.
This should forcibly remind the
citizens that no definite action has
yet been taken about proper fire pro-
lection. A meeting for this purpose
will be held on Saturday evening at
the Merchants Cafe and all are
earnestly requested to attend.
