LONG CHASE OF
FUGITIVE ENDS
W. E. HILL MUCH WANTED IN
OKLAHOMA
Sheriff Follows Man for elk Months.
Arrest Made In Los Angeles
HoteI--Sult Case Gives
Clue

w. q. Hill, wanted by the authorities
Of Oklahoma on several charges of for
gerry, was arrested at 1917 East Seventh
street last night by Sheriff Barney
Davis Of Custer county, Okla, and
Deputy Sheriff Joe Sepulveda of this
city.
A suit case carried by the father-in-
law Of the prisoner was the clue upon
which Davis located Hill, after trail
Ing the father-in-law for more than
six months. A total of 1000 miles were
traversed by Davis In following the
father-ln-law, finally resulting In HilPs
capture.
According to the local authorities,
Hill has passed several worthless
checks in different Oklahoma towns. A
few of these are: Custer County bank
S400, signed w. e. Gales; Butler bank of
Custer county, $3.50, signed George
Ames; Cafkey bank of Elk City, $3.50,
signed Rogers Mills; the Cass bank of
Washington county, 5000, and the Bank
Of Slayer, Okla.
Begins Long Chase
Six months ago Sheriff Barney Davis
discovered the father-in-law was trav-
elling from city to city in Oklahoma
apparently for no special purpose. Act
ing upon tn1S clue Davis TOOK up the
trail of the father-in-law, and after
following him about in Oklahoma for
several months the later went to
Arapahoe county, Colo.
In Arapahoe county Davis logged the
father-in-law's tracks for several
weeks, never losing sight of the suit
case carried by the man whom he was
shadowing. Suddenly the father-in-law
made hasty departure for Los An
geles, leaving Colorado on April %.
On arriving in Los Angeles the
father-in-law went to the hotel located
at 1017 East Seventh street. Davis fol-
lowed him to that place and registered
there. t't
1t was two days before Hill made
his appearance in the hotel lobby. The
father-in-law and Hill held several
private conversations that confirmed the
opinions of Davis. The latter having
recognized Hill as the man who was
wanted in Oklahoma informed the local
authorities of the fact and Deputy Joe
Sepulveda was detailed to arrest Hill.
Reslsts Arrest
When Hill was approached by Sc
pulveda and Davis he demonstrated
and attempted to draw knives on his
captors. The officers were too quick
for him and took him into custody
with no trouble. Hill was locked in
the county Jail last night. Extradition
papers will be applied for at once.

RAILWAY WORLD
FIRE DAMAGE COMPARATIVELY
sMALL
Greatest Loss In San Francisco ls In
Papers and Books That Contained
Valuable Records-oenerai
News

Estimates as to the damage done to
the railroad property at San Francisco
show that 1t Is very small compared to
the loss In the entire city.
The Southern Pacific was the heaviest
loser, but the damage done to its prop
erty will soon be repaired. One Of it's
freight sheds was destroyed and forty
or more cars on a track that served
various industries from the Vallejo
street pier we're burned.
The loss which the Southern Pacific
employees and officials will take to heart
the most is the destruction Of the
superbly equipped hospital at Four
teenth and Mission streets. All of the
inmates were removed to O place of
safety. officials say that better and
larger hospital will be erected within
the near future.
Several of the Southern Pacific lines
at Oakland were disturbed on account
Of broken and twisted frogs, but these
were quickly repaired and traffic was
soon resumed.
A portion of track in the Suisun
marshes about a mile and half long
sank several inches and caused an in
terruption of services. Frequent trouble
has been experienced there before and
the company has had to continually fill
in this stretch of road, and for this
reason the sinking of the track Is not
taken as a serious demonstration of
earthquake power.
The general offices of the company,
which occupied the seventh floor of the
Merchants Exchange building, were
destroyed and the offices have been
established in Oakland. The destruc-
ton of the books and papers is a loss
that cannot be estimated In dollars.
The work that was under way by the
Santa Fe in the China basin was not
seriously disturbed and will be carried
on as was before planned. In one or
two places the ground was cracked and
the tracks We're thrown out Of line
Twenty-four railway companies had
offices on Market street and their loss
is considerable on account Of valuable
papers that were destroyed.

TREASURE TRovE IN OLD BOOT
Gold Worth $3.50 and Spanish Silver
Belonged to Mlser Who Died a
Hundred Years Ago

OXFORD, Pa, May 3.-Hidden in an
old boot, which was revealed by the
displacement of strangely marked
stone, DIR. William Bramm of Row
landvi1le discovered $3.50 in gold be-
sides a number Of Spanish silver coins.
1t is believed to be part of a treas
ure which belonged to an old miser
who dwelt in the Bramm house about
century ago. This house is one of
the Oldest in the community. 1t was
built in 1850. II has been in the pos
session of the Bramm family for a
number of years, but this spring they
decided to move to a more modern
residence.
In moving the stove one of the stones
in the chimney corner was displaced
and fell to the floor. The strange
marks on II led to an investigation and
the boot and money We're found.
The oldest inhabitants of the region
remember hearing tales of the old
miser, Horner who was reputed to be
fabulously wealthy and 10 have untold
treasures hidden about the Bramm
house He died over a century ago,
but no trace was ever found Of his
riches.
1t is now thought that there Is money
hidden on the premises and q thorough
search is to be made Immediately.

Curious Freak of Nature Revealed In

Newark, N. J., say there is no parable
In medical records for the phenomenon

day in that city, at the birth of a boy
to Mrs. Charles Heb Of 157 Cam
den street. The heart of the infant in
stead Of being in it's normal position
was by curious freak of nature placed
completely outside the chest, directly
over its natural position.
Dr. Carl H. Wintsch Of the board of
health staff attended the woman. He
found the misplaced organ beating in
an apparently normal manner and per-
forming its functions perfectly. The
child was apparently normal and
healthy in other respects.
DR.. Wintsch hastened to call in a
number of his brother physicians. They
made an effort to place the heart where
nature intended it to be- but the effort
was unsuccessful. They then had the
mother and babe removed to the
Homeopathic hospital, where the case
could be closely watched.
For forty-eight hours the exposed or
gan did its work, but 1t was, observed
that the child beganNto grow gradually
weaker until noon yesterday, when II
died.
DIR. Wintsch said the child's heart
was little larger than usual and the
ventricles were separated but other

DIED STANDING ON HIS HEAD
Body Of Edward Mcdonald, Wanderer,
Found In Inverted Position by
Passing Negro
Special to The Herald

Special to The Herald.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May s.-To
leave this world of weariness and pain
In an inverted position was the fate
allotted to Edward Mcdonald, a man
without a country or a home; in fact,
whose home was wherever his hat was
hung up-when he was lucky enough
to have head covering worth calling
by the name of hat.
McDonald'S body was found head
downward, with feet upward against a
wall In an areaWay between two houses
at Twentieth street and West Prospect
place about s o'clock by a negro VINO
was passing that point. Mcdonald
was known as a ne'er-do-well, who
often drank to excess and who had
frequently slept at the Helping Hand
institute near central police station.
Recently he had been sleeping on an
old mattress and some dirty quilts III
barn in the rear of 1901 West Twen-
tieth street.
The negro reported his peculiar find
to patrolman in the vicinity, and,
thinking that the man was only drunk
and had fallen into the place shortly
before, the two men pulled out the
body.
Frank Springer, who lives at 1901
West Twentieth street, was attracted
to the spot, and recognized the re-
mains as those of Mcdonald. The
night before Springer had given the
unfortunate wanderer dime and told
him to get into the hay" as was
his nightly custom. Springer also said
that Mcdonald was an old soldier, but
no one seems to know on which side
he fought.
The dead man was about so years old,
weighed 40 pounds and was feet 7
inches tall. His hair was mostly gray
and he had a small cropped mustache
Just a trifie darker than the hair.
Coroner Thompson viewed the body
and ordered it removed to Carroll &
Davldson's undertaking rooms, 1906
Grand avenue. 1t is his opinion that
the man died OF alcoholism aggravated
by exhaus ton and exposure. AS there
are wounds on the top Of the head,
however, an autopsy will be held to

died from an injury or from other

The Meteor express on the St. Louis

dynamite which exploded and tore three
feet out of the rails on one side of the
track. Not a car was derailed, which
was probably due to the fact that the
train was running at the rate OF sixty
