MAN CRAZED BY TAKING GAS.
Attacks the Dentist, Who Strikes Pa
tient With a Hammer, Fractur-
inp His Skull.

Washington, Sept. 3. - George W.
Bowers, an engineer, went to the
Washington Dental Parlors to have an
aching tooth extracted, and a few
minutes later was carried to the
Emergency hospital with fractured
skull and the affected molar still firm
in his mouth. In the meantime he
had wrecked the dental parlor and
caused a commotion which required a
squad of policemen to quell.
Bowers insisted on taking gas
against the advice of Dr. r. B. Leon
ard When it was administered Bow
ers started in to break up the fur
niture and to attack the dentist.
Two assistants and a colored porter
came to his rescue, but Bowers had
them all down and out in quicker time
than 'it would have required to ex-
tract the tooth.
Finally, in defence of his life, DR..
William H. Winter seized a hammer
and struck Bowers on the head with
It, fracturing his skull. This fioored
the man and strangely enough brought
him back to consciousness. He ex-
planned that in his delirium he thought
the doctors were attacking his wife.
When he reached the hospital he had
forgotten all about his toothache. He
will recover from the fractured skull.
DR.. Winter is held in $1,000 bail to
await the result of Bowers injuries.

San Francisco, Sept 3.-The labor
anion parade resulted in the shooting
Of two men by employees of the United
Railroads. The car men were attack
ed by the paraders and in self-defense
opened fire.
The trouble started at Ferry, where
1t Is stated Sutter street car broke

of San Francisco for when the cars OF
the United Railroads attempted to
break through the procession there
was trouble.
What had been an orderly parade
turned into riot.
The cars of the United Railroads
had stopped while the parade was in
progress, but when the marchers be-
gan to dispense the cars began rum
ming. There was a dense crowd at
ferries and the union resented the at
tempt to run the cars.
The two wounded men were re-
moved by the police to the harbor po-
lice station. When the police jumped
in to quiet the riot a number of them
as soon as they made arrests we're set
