TALBOTS MAY KISS
AND MAKE UP.
Warning Couple Believed to
Be in Fair Way Toward
Permanent Reconciliation
CHILDREN AT SCHOOL

To the friends Of W. II. Talbot and
Mrs. Annie D. Talbot it looks as if their
temporary reconciliation will become
permanent and that they will once
again be a happy couple
IT is argued that as the husband and
wife have agreed to send their sons
William and Eric to Santa Clara Col
lego they must be in closer touch with
each other. The belief that Mr.. and
Mrs. Talbot are about TO be publicly
rcconciled is strengthened by the cir
Clmstance that Mrs. Talbot, who is the
sole owner of the Talbot country home
at Redwood City, has leased the house
for long term to w. J. Dingee.
Those who have followed this case
will remember that Judge Murasky had
in the suit for maintenance brought by
Mrs. Talbot awarded the custody of
the three children-william, Eric and
Y Kera-to the mother; also temporary
slimony and costs. These orders are
in force now.
At the time Of the disaster there
were pending before the court two
matters proceeding against Talbot
for having. it is alleged, violated the
order Of the court with regard to the
custody Of the children. and a motion
OF his part TO modify the previous or
ders of the court giving to the wife the
custody Of the children.
Since the disaster there have been no
further proceedings.
Mr.. and Mrs. Talbot then, as now.
we're occupying the big house on the
northeast corner of Jackson and Scott
streets. On the morning of the fire
Talbot took Mrs Talbot in his automo-
bile TO Redwood City, and they lived in
her house there till about two months
ago. when she leased the place to w.
J. Dingee and. with her husband came
hack 70 the city 10 live at the house
Oh Jackson and Scott streets.
II viii be remembered that Mrs. Tai
bots attorney, s. NJ. Shortridge, made
an impassioned plea TO the husband and
wife 10 forget their differences and be
reconciled. Steps toward a reconcilia-
tion went still further. 1t was arranged
that the lawyers for both should meet
one night at the Talbot home, the hus-
Land and wife be asked to appear, the
children brought in and peace restored
t. the disturbed household.
Unfortunately, the scheme failed of
accomplishment.
S. n. Shortridge, who is the lawyer
for Mrs. Talbot, was seen at his off7~o
yesterday and declined to go into me
details Of the affair
I have only one thing to say" he
observed, and it is this: If the oc-
casion arises that I am called upon to
eject q permanent reconciliation, I
shall repeat my efforts to bring about
peace"

PEERS into A Gun
AND P[R|sHEs.
13- Year-Old Lad Purchases
Cartridges Instead of Ice
Cream With Fatal Result
BULLET IN HIS BRAIN

Three young lads, given 20 cents yes
terday by their parents to spend for ice
cream, bought cartridges instead, and
about o'clock in the afternoon Tom
Brown, aged 13, who lived with his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. George Brown,
at 2117 Pine street, snot and mortally
wounded himself at H street and
Twenty-second avenue The boy died
at St Marys Hospital at 80 o'clock in
the evening. The lads had small
22-caliber rifle with them, and Tom.
after loading it. put sand in the barrel
and then peered into the weapon. While
the gun was at his left eye he accl-
dentally pulled the trigger and the bull
let went into his brain. Alfred Rah-
wyler Jr. and Leslie Murrey, boys of
Browns age, were his companions.
The wounded lad was able to walk
from Twenty-second avenue to Nine
teenth avenue and H street. and was
taken from there to the Park Hospital
in an automobile. The mother and
father of the wounded lad, on being
notified of the accident, went to the
hospital. The grief of the mother was
pitiful The parents had the boy re-
moved to st. Mary's Hospital
Young Brown was the son of George
Brown. manager of the California Mar
ket Yesterday afternoon he and AL
fred Rahwyler Jr., son of Alfred Rah-
wyler of 2204 Pine street, went to the
Sunset District on their bicycles. Rah-
wyler stopped to see Leslie Murrey,
son of William Murrey of 1854 Eigh-
teenth avenue. The Murrey boy had
rife which had been given him by his
brother, who returned home from
Canada yesterday morning. The gun
fascinated Tom Brown and he per-
suaded them to buy cartridges with the
money they had been given to spend
for refreshments. The trio went from
Murrey's house to the sand dunes on
Twenty-second avenue, and there
Brown shot himself.
Tom showed remarkable grit after
the accident. Turning to the Murrey
lad, who was crying at the sight of the
wound Tom said: Don't worry, Les
lie." The boys went to the car station
on H street, Tom leading his com
panions. Arriving there he became un-
conscious and did not regain his facul-
ties until his parents reached his bed
side. He greeted them with a wistful
smile and a word. Hello"
Tom was the eldest of four children.
He was in the high eighth grade Of the
Pacific Heights Grammar School
