bartender and proprietor, George Pat
rick, negro residing at West Oak
land, maintained a reign of terror for
more than an hour early this morning
and was not subdued until he had
been disabled by bullet in the arm
from the revolver of Policeman Con
Keefe. The policeman did not shoot
the negro until after he had fired two
shots into the wall over the infuri-
ated mans head in an Intellectual at
tempt to frighten him into submission.
Keefe went to the saloon in answer
to a call from c. OLevia, the propri-
etor, who said that Patrick had driven
every one out of the place and was
wrecking the fixtures. The policeman
found the doors barricaded and was
forced to break a panel out of the
rear door in order to see where the
negro was. AS soon as Keefe's face
appeared at the opening Patrick COW.
cred him with his revolver and said,
IF you try to get in here I'll kill YOU"
Keefe reached for his own pistol and
as he did so Patrick snapped his gun
in the policeman's face, but the cart
ridge failed to explode. Keefe fired
two shots into the wall to frighten the
negro, and as the fellow continued to
try to fire his own weapon Keefe shot
him through the left arm above the
elbow. The door was then broken
down and after hard struggle Keefe
succeeded in Handwriting the negro,
who was sent to the Receiving Hos
pital, where his wound was dressed,
and thence to the City Prison.

Ok NEWS OF THE COUNTY OF ALAMEDA 10
FATHER SHOOTS
HIS YOUNG SON
Vincent A. Dodd Causes the
Death of His Offspring
While Out Duck Hunting

ALAMEDA, Oct. 22.-Arthur Dodd,
13 years of age. was accidentally shot
and killed by his father. Vincent A.
Dodd, shortly before noon to-day
while the two were hunting ducks in
a boat off the south end of Caroline
street. With a heart rending cry,
'"Oh, papa, you have hurt me, you
have hurt me-" the unfortunate child
clung to his distracted parents neck
as his life blood gushed from gaping
wound in his right side. He lived but
q few minutes after receiving the ter
rible injury and when the agonized
parent beached the hunting craft his
boy, rigid in death, still hugged him
closely.
After tenderly carrying his sons
body from the boat and laying it upon
the sand the father gave way to his
great grief. His cries attracted the
attention of several persons, who
went to his assistance and induced
him to go to his home at 1881 Tay-
lor avenue. DR.. w. Tappan Lum was
summoned to attend the lad, but a
glance revealed to the physician that
the little fellow was beyond human
ala. deputy COTOncE JdIueS fOWI6T
was notified and the remains were
taken to the local branch morgue and
later removed to the undertaking par
lors of Smiley & Gallagher, from
where the funeral will be held Mon
day morning at 10 o'clock.
Between his paroxysms of grief Mr..
Dodd explained that he was in the
bow of the boat when the accident
occurred. He was in the act of turn
ing toward the stern of the craft to
shoot at a duck when his shotgun, a
12-bore automatic weapon, exploded
and the charge took effect In his sons
right side, tearing away the liver and
causing a hemorrhage that quickly
brought death.
Arthur Dodd was a native of this
city and an exceptionally bright lad
for his years. His father is the su-
perintendent of the Yosemite laundry
in Oakland and is prominent in fra
ternal and athletic circles. The fate
of her youngest son has prostrated
Mrs. Dodd and her condition is seri-

\ A report that the Gamewell fire
alarm in the hall had started the blaze
was refuted by Superintendent Ryder
of the fire alarm system, who said
that 500 volts charging current was
turned off at o'clock this morning as
usual All the wire connections of the
fire alarm system ran into the hall
in fireproof cables. If the Gamewell
system had started the blaze, said
Superintendent Ryder. it could not
have turned in an alarm, as it did,
fifteen minutes after the fire started.
Fire Chief Kenney complained bitter
ly of the lack of water with which to
fight the flames. He reported that
Arthur Higgs of Hose Company No. 2.
and Archie Edgar. of Engine No. 2, had
been overcome by the smoke and were
obliged to be taken to their homes.
c. D. Maloney, superintendent of the
Contra Costa Water Company in
Berkeley, said that the use of four
streams by the firemen 'nullif1ed the
strength of the pressure" and that If
one stream only had been used the
pressure would have been ample to
force it to any part of the building.
The City Hall was moved from Sacra-
mento and University avenues about
four years ago. 1t was valued at $1o,-

ed including $4,000 for a new city hall
in the bond project recently abandoned,
but their final decision was against
erecting a new hall. The matter will
be given consideration again at the
Trustees regular meeting next Mon
day night. Temporary quarters for the
city officials have been engaged in the

BERKELEY, Oct. 22.-Fire was
discovered in the City Hall on Grove
street at $40 o'clock this afternoon
and an hour later the structure had
burned to the ground. Only the brick
vault in the City Clerks Office re-
rnained standing. In the vault were

Most of the other city officials were
given sufficient warning TO permit the
removal of their office furniture and
records The loss to the city will be
about $4,000. The amount of insur-
ance cannot be determined at this
time.
Defective lighting wires in the attic
are believed to have caused the fire.
City Clerk Merrill discovered smoke is

the Fire Department. The firemen's
work was rendered futile by an in

SETTLES LONG
STANDING SUIT
University of California
Given Judgment Against
w. A. Knowles for $4,000
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
1O16 Broadway. Oct. 22.

1915 Broadway, Oct. p.
A Judgment in favor of the Regents
of the State University and against w.
A. Knowles for $4,000 was handed
down to-day by Judge S. P. Hail. The
matter has been long in litigation and
is all the university can get out Of
claim of nearly $4,000. Little or
nothing could have been recovered had
not most of the $50 other defendants
allowed the suits against them to go
by default and failed to plead the
statute of Limitation.
The suit was the outcome OF the
purchase by Knowles of the Tompkins
tract from the Regents in 1890. There
were forty acres for which he was to
paw $4,000. He paid $4,000 down
and gave a mortgage for the balance.
Then he began to divide and sell the
land. He was given releases Of the
lots as they were paid for, but 1t was
afterward found that lots that had
not been paid for had been interpolat-
ed in the releases. He was tried for
forgery and acquitted. So much time
was wasted in bringing suit that many
were exempted from the judgment.
Knowles thus saved some $4,000 and
enough others to make up total Of
about $4,000, or half the amount sued
for.
