TINY NEWSBOY
Louis Gatti Suffers Pain
Like a Soldier as Firemen
Work to EXtricate Him
WANTS TO BE A FIGHTER
Lad Refuses to Take ChlOro-
form When Doctors Dress
His Wound at Hospital
TO BE A FIGHTER

As he walked merrily along Broadway
shortly after o'clock last night, nine
year-old Louis Gatti was run down by a
heavy electric car and his leg pinioned
under one front wheel. So tightly was
the lad held in the grip of the monster
vehicle that it was necessary TO call out
the members of fire truck No. 3 to help
release him The lad will probably lose
his right leg. Throughout the awful or
deal he never muttered a cry OF pain.
The boy was on his way to his home
at 9l4 Sansome street and did not hear
the car as il bore down on him near the
corner of Stockton street. The motorman
stopped the vehicle as soon as possible,
but not before little Louis had been PIN
ioned 10 the rail so fast ii was impos-
sible TO move him.
When the carmen saw their efforts were
Of no avail they applied TO the fire laddies
for assistance. The menpers of truck No.
hurried 10 the scene of the accident and
worked for nearly half an hour before
they succeeded in raising the car so that
Louis might be pulled out of his painful
retreat
During all the labors of the carmen and
the fire laddies in their efforts to get him
free the lad never muttered cry. He
was rushed TO the Central Emergency
Hospital where his wound was dressed.
The lad refused TO take chloroform,
bearing his pain like a soldier. He looked
up al the surgeon and said: II am going
TO be a prizehghter some day and 1 don't [
care for little pain, so go ahead and
fix me up"
But Louis dream Of fame in the padded
arena may be shattered. for 1t is likely
he will lose his right leg. The member
was so badly crushed by the car that the
doctors at the hospital say it will prob
ably have to be amputated, though they
still hold out little hope of saving it.

MIS- Seymour makes answer to all Of the
claims Of the German nephew. She says
that the demands of Hansmeyer are all
made from fictitious promises alleged to
have been made by her husband during
his lifetime. She denies that any one
has any right to the community property
except herself, according to the last will
Of Mr. Seymour She says that there
have been propositions made TO her that
a compromise be effected, but these she
steadily refuses 10 consider. She expects
to defend her property until the courts
take it away from her as a result of
litigation.
OTHER CLAIMANTS.
But the claims of the nephew, Hans
meyer, are not the only troubles that
Mrs. Seymour has in store for her in
her attempt to retain the property left
by her husband. For years Mr.. Sey-
business of the ST. George stables at
40S Bush street. The other partner was
John w. Murphy. Seymour was an in
active member of the firm and he hired
James w. Gregory ut a salary of SIIO
per month to do the actual labor, which
he should have done had he been ne
lively engaged in the business. All
went smoothly up to the time of Sey-
mour's death. when the representa-
lives of the administratrix came to take
charge of the business they found that
Gregory claimed that the interest was
his through the gift of the deceased nj
the time when the new lease to the
land WAS signed says Attorney HanIon
The value of this property IL $4,000
and IL brings In a large revenue
peculiar feature of Gregory's claim,
says Hanlon, is that Seymour continued
TO pay Gregory the salary long after the
time that the latter says the business be-
longed to him by gift Since June, 1904.
Gregory has remained in possession as
the owner, and the widow will now bring
suit to eject him from the premises.
ORIGINAL NAME KoRDMEYER.
The fact is that Seymours name was
really Kordmeyer. He came to California
in the early days, and finding that his
name was a hard one to pronounce he
changed it TO Seymour. This was not
done by any process of law, but the peo-
pie had known him as Seymour for SO
long time that 1t was forgotten that
his real name was something else
He was married in Oakland in 1878 and
came TO San Francisco 70 take charge of
the Russ House. While at Bartlett
Springs in June, 1904, he disappeared, and
his body was found a few days later
lying in a creek. There was then trouble
over the payment of the reward and il
was only a few months ago that the
court ordered the administrative to paw
the men who helped search for the re-
mains.
August Hausmeyer is at the ST. Nicho-
las Hotel with his wife He does not

Hail Storm.

Last Thursday afternoon a hal
storm visited a part of Douglas town
ship, leaving destroyed crops la it,
path. 1t entered the county a littl,
south of Fiscus and proceeded clear
across the township, bearing a littl,
north of straight east. The center
school house was right in the path
and by the time it got to Lone Willow
school house the force of the storm
was to the north. II did not reach
over into Leroy township very much,
Among those who suffered heavily
from the storm are John Esbeck, G.
Weldy, Mr.. Berg, Len Hethcote, Geo.
Mendenhall, M. f. Kerwin, John John
son, Jas. Murphy. Billy Smith, Chas.

There are many others whose names we
have not secured. The storm was per-
haps two miles wide in places. In some
places the destruction of crops was
complete, In other places the damage
was only slight. Many of these men
had hail insurance.
On a portion of the territory the
wind was strong for awhile and
many window lights were broken.
G. Welde reports IL lights broken.
Most of these who suffered loss in
this storm We're sufferers In the big
storm two years ago, which occurred
July 20, 1903. This was July 10. This
makes it doubly severe for them, as
they had hardly recovered from the
other loss.
There was another district In the
north part of Lincoln township that
vas struck about the same time and
almost as severely. We understand
that many north of the German church
and north OF Gray, lost nearly all
their crops.

class. The wooden buildings are
giving way to permanent structures
and the old methods are being sup
