DRIVEN INSANE BY GRIEF
Louis M. euenther Locked Up Be-
cause Of His Strange
HaIIucinations

After bothering the police, detec-
tives and city prosecutors for several
weeks, Louis M. Guenther Of 9191s
West Eighth street was arrested yes
terday at the police station charged
with insanity.
Guenther was in the office Of Chief
Auble insisting that the chief take
steps to collect a million dollars from
the city Of San Jose for the loss of
his daughter whom he claimed, in
his insane deusion, was killed by San
Jose doctors.
The police have pitied Guenther,
whose mind was affected by the death
of his daughter, and have treated him
with kindness for several weeks.
The man became a nuisance and
persisted in his demands that the
northern city be brought to account
for malpractice.
Mrs. Guenther, a pretty little woman,
agreed that It was best to restrain
her husband, although she was
averse to his being locked up in the
city Jail.

A big box has been placed in q con-
spicuous position at the w. c. T. u.
headquarters, corner of Temple and
Broadway, in response to an appeal
from Mrs. A. G. Bainbridge, county
for donations of books and clothing
for destitute children in Golden Gate
park. When filed the box will be sent
north in charge of Major McIvor of
the government service and placed for
the distribution of it's contents in the
Loyal Temperance Legion tent
The dearth of reading matter is one
of the most distressing aspects of the
situation in Golden Gate park. it is
said. 1t amounts to a famine, Mrs.
Bainbridge wrote i'm her letters. There
is scarcely a thing to read. Even old
magazines would be acceptable.
In letter from Mrs. Dorcas Spencer
of San Francisco, state recording secre-
tary, w. c. r. u, to the secretary of

can be secured for furnishing new

FOR USE OF A STREET
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS AFTER
RAILWAY
Orders President of Los Angeles
Pacific to Appear at Today's Meet
ing-May Tear UP Spur Tracks
on Sumner Street

The Los Angeles-Pac railway must
show the board of public works good
cause for it's use of Sumner street this
afternoon or it's tracks across that
thoroughfare will be forcibly removed
by the board The tracks must be
taken up anyhow, for the company
has no franchise across this street, but
the board may see fit to give it q lit
tie time to do so if good cause for de-
lay can be shown, it is said.
E. P. Clark, president of the railway
company, appeared before the board
yesterday morning and asked for time
in which to remove the tracks. He said
he was doing the city a service by hav-
ing his tracks across Sumner place,
but the board could not exactly see
why and ordered him to appear this
afternoon and make full eXplana-
tion.
The track in question is a spur and
is used to reach some oil wells.

WANTED--A WIFE. APPLICANTS
must be of brunette type, plump, pre-
ferably of German extraction and not
AFRAID to work. Long, lean, yellow
headed ones need not apply; also
those with warts on nose are barred.
While thousands of fair and otherwise
danes and damsels of the great south
west are pining for husbands, Jack
Loganbiel, a nurse in the Home hospi-
taltal, is deserting his kinswomen and
applying at the refugee camps i'm search
of some woman from the north whom
he can love. cherish and obey.
Yesterday a message from Sawtelle
was received by the refugee agency in
Los Angeles, in which Loganbiel made
known his modest intentions.
Is there a woman to answer the de-
scription i'm the list of applicants, was
the first thought in the mind of the
director of the refugee bureau. Upon
application he learned that there were
just 1923 women answering that de-
scription. so he notified them all and
Mr. Loganbiel will receive callers
today.
Is over 39 Years Old
But there was great howl from the
other women of the refugees who
thought that because their hair hap
pened to be light or their noses slightly
too much tilted skyward they ought
not to be barred from the list. Several
of them with hair the color of recently
baked brick and of lineage other than
Teutonic said things about Loganbiel
that would not look nice in dictionary.
But Loganbiel will have his hands
full and will probably be compelled to
keep open house for the next few
months to receive his guests.
The nurse at the Soldiers hospital
does not expect much in his wife and
his statement is frank.
He wired to the employment agency
so the applicant for the position would
know that she had life job on her
hands.
Loganbiel was coy and shy about
giving his age. "I am a decent man."
he wired to the agency. weigh 175
pounds, am five feet eleven inches high,
am a Christian and have seen thirty
eight years of hard work"
How many years OF life Loganbiel en-
joyed before he started that hard work
he failed to state, but that clause was
let out as a gentle reminder that he
was at least that age, anyhow.
The last statement in the list of in
ducements for the candidate was as fol-
lows:
Il can spare my WlIe $o IL InOnIn Ior
spending money" stated Loganbiel.
until next month, when I expect a
raise, and then L can probably spare $16
q month"
Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the
candidates was held, and all agreed
that, regardless of who the lucky one
should be, she should insist that the SIG
a month proposition be put in with the
'love, cherish and obey" clause.
The first consignment will probably
start for Sawtelle this morning and will
travel in divisions of twenty-three to a
group.

MAKES ESCAPE FROM PRISON
Folsom Convict Gives Guards the
Slip and Is Now at
"a Liberty
Dy Associated Press.

SACRAMENTO, May "a. - John
Brown. serving nine years for burglary
committed in Alameda county, escaped
from Folsom prison at 4 o'clock this
morning.
Brown, although a third termer, was
"trusty" assigned to the power house.
He walked from the prison grounds
without hindrance. He did not wear
the convict garb, being permitted to
wear overalls and jumper, such as are
worn by engineers and hremen, and
this made his escape easy. His term
would not have expired until August
80, 1908.
Brown is described as n tall, bald
headed man, but the description fur
nished Sheriff Reese by the prison
authorities does not go into details.

TRY To RELIEVE
The ONGESTION
ACCUSED TO APPEAR BEFORE
DISTRICT ATTORNEY
Those Who Establish Their Innocence
viii Be Allowed Their Freedom.
Misdemeanor Cases to Be
Dismissed

AS last resort to stem the tide of
cases piing up during the holidays,
District Attorney Fredericks stated
yesterday that within the next week
or until the holidays should come to
close, any prisoner i'm the county Jail
who believes himself innocent can ap-
pear before him for investigation.
If the prisoner can bring proof to
the district attorney of such nature
as to positively refute the information
secured in the case by that official and
can show and prove his innocence to
the satisfaction of Captain Fredericks,
the district attorney will move for a
dismissal of the charge as soon as the
case is called before the justices after
the holidays. If the applicant fails to
establish his innocence to Captain
Fredericks he can either plead guilty
to the charge in open court or can ask
for a trial.
Many Are Waiting
Until yesterday there were more than
125 examinations waiting hearing and
all these will be heard i'm court as soon
as the ban of the holidays is removed.
The hard part of the situation is. 1t
is said, that nearly all the preliminary
eXamina tions to be held are i'm cases of
most aggravated nature, such as mur-
der, assault grand larceny, burglary or
some other charge that will take some
time and hard argument to reach a de-
cision before going to the higher
courts.
In nearly every case where it was
possible or where the charge stated
some misdemeanor of slight nature. the
man. woman or child was allowed to
go free with a warming to be good.
In scores of cases the district attor-
ney has refused to grant complaints,
because of the fact that the offenses
alleged were so slight that the accused
would be compelled to undergo long in
carceration in the county Jail.
County Jail Crowded
For days the county Jail has been
oVercrowded and the prisoners have
been compelled to eat in relays. Even
the boarding establishment in connec-
tion with the Jail has been crowded.
The first case on the docket in the
criminal department of the superior
court will be that of e. l.. Hazard, who
was convicted of an assault upon Lulu
Rowland. 1t is understood that the
mans attorney will carry the case to
the supreme court.
Attorney Warner. representing Nor
ris Buck, convicted of the murder of
Mrs. Garfield, will make application
for new trial in the case and will
carry the fight to the supreme court.
The long list of complaints will prob
q bly, keep the jurymen busy night and
day.
