SHOOTS HIMSELF
To END WORRIES
Supposed Footpad, Unable
to Wed Flame and Losing
Mother, Attempts Suicide
RIB DEFLECTS BULLET
Porter J. Rowan, Alias Fisk,
Aims for His Heart, but
the Ball Is Turned Aside

Porter ]. Rowan, also known as Fred
Fisk. former employe of the Under
writer's Fire Patrol attempted suicide
last night in the saloon of Joe Bernard
his sweetheart's father, after penciling
a strange tale of the force Of circum-
stances that led to his attempt to end
his life. Many and varied are the causes
that Rowan claims in his epistle led to
his act, but the prime cause given by
the wounded man is that his sweetheart,
Lulu Bernard, would not marry him Po-
licemen Seguine and H. Nolan, who took
Rowan from the Crystal Bar saloon at
148 Third street say he answers the de-
scription of the footpad who has been
operating successfully at the lower end
of Third street during the last few
months Rowan is also twice a deserter
from the United States army.
Last night about 8 o'clock Rowan went
into a back room Of the saloon at 14S
Third street and fired shot at his
heart. His aim was good, and had a
rib not intervened he might now be lying
cold in the death he so carefully sought.
Policeman Seguine was standing near
by, and when he heard the shot he ran
into the place. Rowan was taken to
the hospital and. treated by DR.. Glover.
who said that his escape from instant
death was miraculous. The rib had de-
fected the leaden ball, which would have
otherwise penetrated the heart
In a notebook. roughly scrawled in
pencil, was q last note. 1t told of the
writer's troubles since his arrival in Cal
ifornia 1t concluded: We'll, you can't
blame me for what l have done, for /
have no money, have lost my job, and
the girl L love and my mother all in one
day"
Rowan said he last worked for the
Pope-Toledo Auto Company. Policeman
Seguine says that he has seen Rowan
hanging around the Crystal Bar saloon
for some time past, always in company
with hardened criminals. He says that
he is firmly convinced that Rowan is the
man who has been doing the footpad
work south of the Southern Pacific pas
senger yards of late.
Rowan swore when he learned he was
not fatally wounded. He wants to die,
he says, because Lulu Bernard cannot
marry him. "She loves me" he averred,
'but her father doesn't. cant live with
out her."
Rowan is % years of age and comes
from Napoleon, Ohio His mother died

T FAvORS SHOWN
RICH PRISONER
William Hopkins Is Per-
mitted to Leave County Jail
and Is Seen in Saloons

Superior Judge Dunno threatened yes
terday to begin an investigation into the
way the County Jail is being conducted.
1t has come to his ears that William
Hopkins. who is serving three months
sentence in the Broadway Jail for an un-
provoked assault on James McGinley, has
been seen about the streets of late and in
saloons. He Is being let out every other
day under the pretext that he is visiting
a dentist
When Judge Dunno sentenced Hopkins
he was incensed at the jury for not bring
ing in a verdict of assault to commit muir
der. When a verdict of simple assault
was found his Honor gave Hopkins the
limit and refused to permit the alterna-
tive of a fine.
Judge Dunno is incensed to hear that
exceptions are being made in the case of
Hopkins, who is wealthy, that would not
be made in the case Of any other prisoner.
He is determined that the assailant of
Mckinley shall serve out the full time
given him and that no favoritism shall be
shown to him.
Hopkins laid in wait for Mckinley in the
doorway of an Ellis street resort, and as
the latter came out he stabbed him. Had
the knife blade gone an inch to the left or
right Mckinley would not have recovered.
Another phase of the case that Judge
Dunno will look into is why Hopkins was
not sent to the Branch County Jail, as is
the custom when convicted men are sem
fenced There has been no apepal made
in the Hopkins case. consequently his be-
ing kept at the Broadway Jail is contrary
to all precedent.

WOULD NOT LIVE
WHEN DEPENDENT
John Robinson RenOunces
Life That Can Be Kept
Only by Friends Charity

After struggling cheerfully with dire
poverty for two years. old John s. Robin
son, pioneer veteran of the Mexican War
and former millionaire. gave up trying 10
live when he found that he was to De-
come a ward of charity. He is now dying
at St Luke's Hospital.
Robinson came West in the 40s as a
soldier in the Mexican war. At the end
OF the war he served the United States
upon the boundary commission. This
diplomatic labor ended, he came to Cali
fornia. He soon rose to be one Of the
leading men of the new commonwealth.
His ventures were successful. He became
the owner of line of ships plying be-
tween the Golden Gate and Australia.
and his property was valued up into the
millions.
With age however came reverses. His
shipping company failed His millions dis
appeared gradually in unlucky specula-
tions. When nothing remained, he again
served the Government in minor capa-
cities. After a while, even this resource
failed him, and for the last two years, an
old man of over so. he has been living
upon his veterans diminutive pension Of
s12 month.
How Robinson succeeded in living on
this is mystery to his friends. But he
managed not only to present a decent ex-
terror but to deceive every one by
well-assumed air of great cheerfulness.
1t is only lately. when he began to fail,
that friends found out the truth
The Pioneer Society arranged to have
the old gentleman taken to the Veter
ans Home at Yountville. He was to be
removed there yesterday. but when morn
ing came IL was found that he had suf
fered a serious collapse during the night
He was taken to St. Luke's Hospital. He
lies there now surrounded with all pos
sible comfort but the doctors say that
his indomitable heart Is broken. and that
he has only a few days TO live.
