Body Of Walter Jacobusky Found
at the End Of the South Pier
Late Friday Afternoon.
BULLET HAD PIERCED BRAIN
Boy Is Supposed to Have Walked to
the End of the Dock to Shoot Gulls
and to Have Accidentally Killed
Himself He Resided Here

The 1ife1ess remains of Walter ia
cobusky, 16-year-o1d boy formerly
employed in the lacquer room of the
Simmons Manufacturing company,
were found near the end Of the south
pier late Friday afternoon. A bullet
hole in the head of the boy told the
story of his death, but the details of
the shooting are shrouded in mystery
and it is probable that the mystery
surrounding the death will never be
cleared up. The remains were found
by number Of the employees of the
Simmons factory and after they had
been removed to the Hansen morgue
they were identified by men who h d
formerly worked with Jacobusky at
the factory.
Jacobusky had resided with his
sister on Middle street and he had
been employed at the factory up to a
week ago. At that time he was laid
off indefinitely and since then he had
been spending the time hunting. He
had small 22-ca1ihre revolver with
which he had on several occasions
sought to kill ducks and gul1s along
the lake.
Just after 3 O'Clock Friday after
noon one of the foremen at the Sim
mons plant noticed boy walking out
on the pier. The waves were break
ing over the pier and in some places
the boy was forced to wade through
water fifteen inches deep. The boy
seemed to be staggering about in the
water and for this reason the men
watched him for some time. He fin
ally reached the end of the pier and
seemed to be looking for something
The men paid no more attention tc
| him at the time but when he failed tc
return it was decided to send ont a
searching party. This party found
the remains. At the time the waves
were breaking over The pier and the
remains would have been washed into
the lake in a short time.
| Coroner Robinson was notified and
he summoned jury to view the re.
mains after which they were removed
/ W Lie AAduSCA luOl s uCs I1uuuISOS Ol
people visited the morgue before the
remains were identified.
It seems that the suicide theory
which was first advanced when the
remains were found, has little sup
port. Jacobusky was happy-go-
lucky boy and his friends declare that
he had no reason to seek to end his
life. He had good home and was
capable of making good wages for a
boy of his age. The revolver which
must have caused his death was OF
22-calibre and it seems possible that
Jacobrsky was looking into the muz-
z1e of the weapon whengthe accident
occurred. The gun had not beer
working well for several days, accord
ing to the stories told by the com
panions of Jacobusky, and it is
thought that he had looked into the
barrel. The revolver must have beer
held very close to his eye as the Skin
twas badly burned by powder. The
bullet entered the brain and must have
caused instant death. Coroner Robin
son held an inquest this morning, an6
found verdict of accidental death.

At 5:15 a. M, to-doy, three
shocks of earthquake visited this
town, lasting respectively five,
three and forty-two seconds.
They came from the north east
and southwest. The damage
will be two and a half million
dollars. No lives were lost but
a number of people were injured.
Among the buildings destroyed in
this town are the Ford and Stan
bury drygoods building; Elks'
hall, Masonic temple, Knights
of Pythias building, armory,
Porter & Irving's store, Logan
cycle railway, Odd Fellows
building, city hall and several
other smaller buildings. Spreck-
les big sugar refinery, about
three miles from town, was en-
tirely destroyed, with a loss of
81 800, 600. The high school
building was also destroyed.
Another shock was experience
ed at 2:25 p. M AT Watson
vile the Moreland academy was
destroyed by fire and several
buildings collapsed. Shocks
were also felt at Monterey and
Pacific Grove, but little damage
was done. At the Del Monte
hotel three chimneys fell through
the roof, killing a bride and
groom and one of the hotel help,
injuring several others fatally.
At Hollister the Granger's Union
warehouse has been destroyed,
Mrs. Griffith was killed and
her husband went insane from
the shock.

Before the missionaries and the
American settlers went to Hawaii the
natives knew nothing about Christmas,
but now they all celebrate the day
and do 1t, OF course, in the same way
as the Americans who live there. The
main difference between Christmas in
Honolulu and Christmas In New York
Is that In Honolulu in December the
weather is like June in New York.
Birds are warbling in the leafy trees;
gardens are overfiowing with roses and
carnations; fields and mountain slopes
are ablaze with color, and sunny sky
smiles dreamily upon the glories OF
summer day. In the morning people go
to church. and during the day there
are sports and games and merrymak-
ing of all sorts The Christmas dinner
is eaten out of doors in the shade of
the veranda, and everybody is happy
and contentsd.-St Nicholas.

EVERY OTHER WORLD CALAMITY DWARFED BY THIS DISASTER
The Loss of Life Runs Up Into Thousands While the
Property Loss Is Figured In Billions

The earthqua which struck
such a blow to San Francisco
and the surrounding country oc-
Cured at 5:15 on the morning OF
Wednesday, the 18th of April.
The first shock lasted for nearly
one minute and was quickly fol
lowed by one of a full minutes S
duration. These were followed
by other disturbances of less
character. The first shock was
the most severe and caused the
greatest damage. People rush
ed out into the street to be
struck with falling brick, stone
and cornice. Those that re-
mained in the buildings, it is re-
ported, suffered less severely
than those that rushed into the
street
San Francisco is the greatest
sufferer in life and property.
The shock was most severely
felt in the very heart of the city,
where all the large bulldogs are
located. The new postoffice and
city hall each costing in the
neighborhood of $1,000, 900 are
a total loss.
Great assures, from four to
eight feet wide, opened up in the
principal steets. To add to the
horror, after the collapse of the
tall buildings, fire broke out,
which the fire fighting brigade
was powerless to cope with ow-
ing to the water mains being
broken in many places by the
earthquake,
Block after book with all con-
tents were destroyed. An at
tempt was made to blow up
buildings with dynamite to stop

the progress of the fire, but an
insufficient quantity of the OK
. plosive prevented this plan be-
ing carried out. Later special
train arrived with explosives.
One hundred thousand people
are homeless. The dead are
variously estimated at from two
to five thousand.
1t will take week or more to
get accurate figures of the loss
of life, as the destruction covers
a wide area. The loss of prop
erty will run up into the hun
dreds of millions.
Reports from various cities
of the United States show that
relief measures are already be-
ing inaugurated. The federal
government has wired that food
and shelter will be furnished for
immediate use.
The entire destruction of Le-
land Stanford University is re-
ported.
A report from Santa Rosa,
which is some forty or fifty miles
north of San Francisco, is to the
effect that not one stone or brick
buildings is left standing.
Some of the recent large build
ings that were but up in San
Francisco of cement and steel
stood the shock of the earth
quake with less damage than
the other buildings.

The Wine and Spirit Gazette of New
York, calls attention to the fact that
''the territory from which the sale and
manufacture of whiskey are excluded,
is increasing from year to year in the
United States" The editor therefore
concludes that "the work and activity
of the National Protective Bureau of
the National Wholesale Liquor Deal
ers association go for nothing. The
money expended on it is money thrown
away" Others have come to about
the same conclusion. They think that
the old and present methods of meeting
and fighting temperance and prohibi-
ton leagues are no good. American

MAKING CHRISTMAS TOYS.
A Thriving Industry In Germany
France and Switzerland.

A Thriving Industry In Germany,
France and Switzerland.
In parts of Germany, France and
Switzerland every humble householder
takes more interest in Christmas than
the average American boy. This seems
Ike q strong statement, for Christmas
Ia pretty thoroughly appreciated by the
young Of America But, great as the
festival 10 TO them, 1t is not essential to
their existence. They could get along
without Christmas, but the toymakers
In Switzerland, the Tyrol and south
Germany would starve without this
midwinter holiday which makes a mar
ket for their goods. There are wood
carvers, doll dressers and toymakers
in every hamlet and home of the Tyrol.
They depend upon the small wages
they make from these toys to put bread
and butter In their mouths.
All through the winter season every
boy and man carves out wood animals
and toys for the factories. Everything
is handmade. A Noah's ark of twenty
or thirty wooden animals that retails
for a quarter in this country does not
pay the carver more than a few pen
MES.
The boys are taught TO handle the
knife early, and they learn to cut out
wooden ducks, hens, horses, cows and
other toys before they have reached
their teens Working all through the
early winter days and nights in their
little homes, they make the wooden
toys that delight so many children
throughout the world.-New York Mail
and Express.
