FIVE DEAD; ONE DYING.
Madmau On Rampage With Rifle, knife and
Pistol.

San Diego, Cal, Especially five
persons are dead and one other probably
will die as a result of wounds inflicted
by man who is supposed to have been
crazcd by liquor in this city. Those
killed met instant death.
The series of tragedies was committed
by w. p. Robinson, a house cleaner.
AT 8 o'clock A. NJ, Robinson left his
home, at Fourth and A streets, and going
to the apartment in the same building
occupied by Mrs Emma Stewart, the
landlady, and her son William, raped
for admission. Mrs. Stewart, upor
opening the door, was shot through the
head by Robinson, who had lcveled
rifle at her. Robinson then entered the
dining room, where Young Stewart
who had been seated at breakfast, was
just rising from the table Robinson
attacked him Immediately, plunging
long knife into his body close to the
heart and again into the abdomen. At
the second stab Stewart sank to the
floor with blood pouring forth in
stream.
Robinson then returned to his rooms.
Rcloading his rifle and leaving his knife,
he slipped revOlvcd into his pocket.
He then descended to the first floor, one
portion of which is used as a carpenter
shop by II. W. Chase. Chase probably
saw Robinson enter. but paid no attcn-
ton to him, for Robinson approached
close to him and suddenly throwing up
his rifle fired, the bullet entering ChaSe's
breast, close to the heart. Chase died
Immediately.
From the carpenter shop Robinson
proceeded on his bicycle down Fourth
street for several. blocks, through the
business section of the town, still carry
ing the rifle. He went directly to the
house Of w, II. Dodridgc, internal revc-
nue collector, on the northeast corner
of Second and II streets. He lett his
wheel at the curb and ran up the steps
to the front door, carrying his revolver
in one hand and his rifle in the other
Harry Doddridgc son of w. II. Dod-
bridge, who is an engineer at the San
Diego Brewery, responded to his ring.
Robinson fired his revolver and young
Doddridgc san to the floor with a bullet
lust above the Heart. Death followed
before medical assistance could be sum-
moncd.
Mrs. Doddridgc, the young mans
mother, hearing the shot and perhaps
witnessing the tragedy, ran screaming
from the house. Robinson, hearing the
cries, started through the house after
her. As she was crossing the yard the
crazed man caught sight Of her and
fired, the bullet striking her in the back
She fell hcadlong upon her face in the
yard.
w. II. Doddridge, who was in bed on
the second floor when the commotion
began, jumped or fell out of the window,
breaking the bones OF MS right hand
and probably sustaining internal injuries.
Robinson searched the house for more
people When he came to the room just
vacated by Doddridge he climbed upon
the bed, and, placing his revolver to his
temple, fred a bullet which tore off
the top of his head.
There is no known reason tor think
ing there had been i'll feeling between
Robinson and any Of his victims. Col
lcctor Doddridgc says he never even
saw or heard OF Robinson before.

NATURES soFTENlNc TOUCHES.

Yet still the wilding flowers would blow
The golden leaves would fall,
The seasons come, the seasons go,
And God be good to all.
Above the graves the blackberry hung
In bloom and green its wreath
And harebells swung as if they rung
The chimes of peace beneath.
The beauty nature loves to share,
The gifts she hath for all,
The common light, the common air,
Oercrept the gravcyard's wall,
1t knew the glow of cventide,
The sunrise and the noon,
And glorifcd and sanctihed
1t slept beneath the moon.
With flowers or snowflakcs for its sod,
Around the seasons ran.
And evermorc the love of God
Rcbuked the fear of man.
Secure on GoIS al tcHt,Vl h-ajt,
Alike rest great and small:
Whv ieaag~tc lose our nltlc part,
Wfen He is pledged for all?
o fearful heart and troubled brain
Take hope and strength from this
That nature never hints in vain,
Nor prophesics amiss.
Her wild birds sing the same sweet stavc
Her lights and airs are given
Alike to playground and the grave,
And over both is Heaven.
