SWIFT VENGEANCE
FOR BOY ROBBERS
Youthful Burglar Is Shot with Gun
He Steals and Arrest Comes
Quickly to His Ac-
complice
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 27.-Terrible
justice was visited upon two boy
dying with his abdomen half shot
away by a rifle which he stole with
other plunder last night. The other lad
is in prison cell, where he has sob
bngly confessed to his crime.
The dying boy is August Schwartz.
10 years old, and the doctor who is
attending him at his home at Eighth
and Octavia streets, says the patient
has no chance for recovery.
His accomplice is August Pallassou,
only one year older Pallassou's father
owns milk ranch at Hamilton and
Bouden streets and it was while driv-
ing an early morning milk route that
the two children, scarcely out of short
trousers, became cracksmen.
Last night the store of the Imperial
Arms company at Van Ness avenue
and Market street was burglarized.
The door had been pried open by a
piece OF gas pipe which had been ham
mered on the ends until it presented
the chisel end of a jimmy. The booty
consisted of four heavy 5000 Win
chester rifles, ten boxes of cartridges
and a case of razors-all the youthful
thieves could carry.
Dream of Being Bandits
With visions of Buffalo Bill and Nick
Carter adventures in their minds the
two boys climbed into the milk wagon
and drove homeward with their plum
der. When they reached the outlying
districts Pallassou suggested that they
try one of the rifles.
Accordingly they filled the magazine
with shells, but in their eagerness for
shot they forgot to lower the hammer
as they threw back the lever. August
Schwartz was to fire first. AS he
climbed out of the wagon he dropped
the rifle to the ground and started to
use it as support while he dis
mounted. Suddenly there was a sharp
report and Schwartz fell forward in
the mud and the frightened horses be-
gan to run.
Pallassou pulled up the snorting ami
mails and hurried back to the wounded
was carried to his home, a short dis
tance away. Pallassou hastened away
to hide the stolen weapons.
Meanwhile Manager Kaplan of the
Imperial Arms company had reported
to the police the ooting of his store
Detectives were assigned to the case,
but just before they left the report
came in that boy had been wounded
on the San Bruno road. Speedily call
ing two deputies they started for
Schwartz's home.
The officers have been able to es-
tabish that the two boys have been
committing a series of crimes and the
detectives believe that they are guilty
of many recent burglaries.

DOCTORS WIFE IS
7HIEF'S DOUBLE
Distressing Case of Mistaken Identity
Reaches Climax When Prominent
Woman, Accused of Larceny
Is Exonerated

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-One of the
most remarkable and distressing cases
of mistaken identity ever brought be.
fore the courts in this city reached
its climax today when the victim, Mrs.
Alexander Trautman, the wife of a
prominent physician was on her allbi
discharged after a hearing in police
court on a charge of larceny from a
mans person.
A moment after Mrs. Trautman had
been given her liberty her accuser, P.
j. Hogan, a clerk, was placed under ar
rest on a charge of assault preferred
by Mrs. Trautman.
In support of her charge that Hogan
treated her roughly when he caused
her arrest, she barred her arm and
showed the magistrate black and blue
marks where she said Hogan had
seized her.
The evidence against Mrs Trautman
was of so f1imsy a nature that Magis-
trate Finn discharged the case with
out the formality Of bringing the wit
ness in the court room. This witness
who was an unwilling one, is known
as Kitty Wilson, and she is almost a
perfect double" of the woman who
was accused.
Kitty Wilson is known to the police
and the fact of her remarkable resem-
blance to Mrs. Trautman was recalled
soon after the investigation >of this
charge made by Hogan was begun.
AS a result of a search by the police
the missing ''double'swas taken int
custody today and during the arrign'
ment she was in small room adjoin
ing the court room.
The necessity of taking her before
Hogan was removed, however, wher
Magistrate Finn, after hearing the tes-
timony of the accuser and accused
said there was no ground whatever
for holding Mrs. Trautman and direct
ed that she be honorably discharged.

Henry Lauries Call of Washington
d. c., attacked the right of John d.
Rockefeller to his fortune on the ground
that, he asserted, it was not the result

through corporate activity which the
speaker termed vicious"
Defends Rockefeller
During a subsequent discussion of
"The Evolution of Property" Louis G.
Mcpherson, assistant to the late Samuel
Spencer as president of the Southern
railway, replied to Mr.. Call. He de-
clared that Mr.. Rockefeller had had his
financial struggles and had done much
good which was generally lost sight of
in the criticism which came with sue
cess.
He told of Mr.. Rockefeller's early at
tempt to obtain $4,000 with which to
construct pipe line for oil One man
who refused aid met the financier when
the pipe line had been laid. To him
Mr.. Rockefeller said: II built that pipe
line to make oil cheaper, and 1 sue
ceeded. l cut the cost more than half
And yet they find fault"
Too Poor to Have Oysters
Mr. Mcpherson told then less Seri-
ously of a dinner party several years
ago at the Rockefeller home when Mrs
Rockefeller explained the absence OF
oysters by saying: 1--WE like them, but
are too poor to have them"
This was to illustrate Mr.. McPher-
sons point that a man might be worth
500, 100000 and still be short of ready
cash if he kept his factories in opera
ton.
Wealth and railroads were but two o
the many subjects discussed by th'
speakers.

Ell PASO, Tex, Dec. 27.-The details
of the Yaqui Indian outbreak at Lencho
station on the Cananea, Yaqui River G.
Pacific railroad, branch of the South
ern Pacific in Sonora, on Sunday night,
in which eight Mexicans were killed
and all the tent houses burned, have
been received here.
No Americans were killed, though it
is certain that but for the timely ar
rival of a work train with large crew
of laborers Foreman Thompson and his
wife would have been killed.
Reports from the same vicinity tell of
murders and outrages perpetrated by
the Yaquis on Thursday and Friday
and Friday night. The victims were all
Mexicans, who were taken by surprise
on their lonely ranches.
| Details of the outbreak are extremely
meager, but show that the situation is
serious. For several weeks past rest
lessness has been observed among the
Indians, but an outbreak was hardly
anticipated. No unusual preparation
had been made for Yaqui attacks.
Those killed were shot down before any
effort at defense could be made
The band of outlaw Indians is said to
number about 100. Rumors of their
depredations were .fe on Saturday
when many ranchers fled to the towns
for safety and reported a number of
murders in the district southwest of
Guaymas. 1t was not believed, how
ever, that the Yaquis would dare to
attack a railroad station.
Lencho is one of the smallest stations
on the Cananea, Yaqui River & Pacific
railroad. About twenty-five men under
Foreman Thompson are employed
there, engaged in we'll boring. No SEN
tries had been posted, and the first in
timation of the attack was a volley of
rifle shots fired into the tent houses.
Immediately afterward the houses
were set on fire, and by the light of the
flames the Yaquis shot at the fright
ened MeXicans, who were trying to
escape The reports received here say
that in addition to the eight men killed
at the station a number of Mexicans
were wounded.
At time when the residents of the
camp, including Thompson and his
American wife, seemed doomed the

WASHINGTON DAY
 AT SCOTTSDALE
Entertainment of Guests and Atten-
 dantS of EIliOttS Sanitarium

The Elliott sanitarium celebrated Washington's birthday by going to Scottsdale All the guests and attend ants went in body. There were thirty in the party. An automobile and three earryalls and carriages went out laden. Chaplain Scott,s yard was taken pos session of and the big dinner was served lavishIy, under the pepper trees and palms The chaplain keeps tables and chairs on hand to accommodate his friends who choose his beautiful grounds in which to rollick and to eay. The big table was made "bowlegged" by its load of good things. The crowd was z jolly one which knew how to nourish the body and cheer the mind and soul. Nine states were repre- sented and if any of the guests were out for their health they did not show it.
 The automobile was utilized to take the children of Scottsdale and others for a ride. Good cheer and happiness blessed little and big alike. A number of unique snap shots were taken. The young ladies captured the auto and the hunters guns and the kodak fiend caught them posing for hunters in the act of attempting to shoot. Some were right handed, others left handed and the guns pointed upward. downward and sidewise. The arsenal held by such determined and smiling defenders defied attack. There seemed to be ne successful avenue of approach. The men just shied around and wished but lacked the courage of heroes and there were no surrenders. All left in high glee for the Hole-in-the- Rock and other points of attraction.
 The sanitarium is organized on the right plan and brings health to the body and the sunlight of joy to the soul. The Scottsdale friends bade all goodbye, srying after them to come again and come often.
