LOUIS DABNER'S
BODY is BURIED
Immediate Members of Family
Go With Remains TO Mount
Tamalpais Cemetery

SAN RAFAEL. Aug. with only
the immediate family attending, the re-
mains of Louis Dabner, the gaspipe
murderer who paid the penalty of his
crimes on the gallows at San Quentin
yesterday morning, were laid to rest
in the Mount Tamalpais cemetery this
afternoon. The ceremonies were simple
and after Father Walsh had completed
the last rites the family hurried back
from the cemetery to San Rafael, 1eav-
ing soon after for their home at Peta-
luna.
All night the body lay in the Eden
undertaking parlors. When the family
arrived this afternoon TO claim their
dead the actions of the heart broken
mother were affecting. Supported by
Dabner's two brothers, the mother was
pail bearers. Instead three men con-
nected with the undertaking parlors
carried the casket. At the cemetery
the casket was carried by employees and
lowered into the grave.
The body of Siemsen Is in the under
taking parlors of Edward Eden, where
it will remain for several days before
taken in charge by friends.
A story published in morning pa
per implied that Siemsens body would
be given over to museum, or that
surgeons would take possession and re-
move for study the brain of the dead
criminal. According to stephen Eden
the story is based on imagination. He
said: I'VE are compelled by law tc
make record OF the final disposition
of the body, and no doctor will ge;
possession of Siemsen's body or any
portion of 1t without stealing it."
Eden said that friends of Siemsen
would take care Of the body and that
he had cablegram from Hawaii about
the final disposition of the corpse.
When the embalmers removed the
clothes of Siemsen today stamp pic
ture of his little niece. Juliette, lock
of the child's brown hair tied in pink
ribbon and short note written on lined
school paper and penned in childish
hand were found in the inside coat
pocket. These mementoes OF brighter
days were placed directly over the
mans heart and were the only things
carried by him when he was hanged

OAKLAND. Aug. Efforts to find
William ]. Rickard. an engineer in the
employ of the Southern Pacific company,
who went to New Orleans on leave
of absence, are being made by thesrail-
road officials. the local police and

He reported to the police his sons
disappearance on February 81, which
was the date OF young Richards de-
parture for New Orleans. At that time
the engineer obtained transportation
from the Southern Pacific and left with
considerable money, agreeing 10 return
in 80 days. He failed to arrive and
the railroad communicated with his
father. 1t is believed that the young
man met with foul play, as no trace
OF him can be found in New Orleans.
The father said 1t was generally
known in the Southern Pacific railroad
yards that the son had money on de-
posit in a bank and had drawn it to

RENOWNED HUNTER
OF BIG GAME HERE
Baron G. A. Klingspor of Swed-
ish Legation Arrives on
Steamer Siberia

Baron G. A. Klingspor, member of the
Swedish legation in Peking, scion OF
one of the Oldest families of King Gus
tavus kingdom and one of the world s
renowned hunters of big game, arrived
in this city on the steamer Siberia yes
terday on his way to Stockholm.
Baron Klingspor is practically finish
ing trip around the world, trip that
has been purely for pleasure About
six months was spent in Peking at the
Office of the legation, the remainder of
the time was spent by the baron in
hunting big game. The baron per-
formed a feat in Siam that has never
before been performed by white man.
Tramping from Burmah to Bangkok,
with only the company of several
coolies, entirely on foot, he slaughtered
two tigers and one wild elephant on
the march.
The trip was made in three weeks.
The roads were almost impossible and
were it not for the help of the coolies
the baron would probably never have
reached his destination. At night the
party had to sleep in tree tops as a
matter of protection against the tigers
that infest the country. 1t was not an
easy matter to be comfortable in a
tree, and the baron states that he
nursed several bruises sustained by
falling to the ground in an attempt to
fight the mosquitoes.
The baron is taking home two of the
largest tiger skins ever seen in Siam.
Both animals were killed by him with
in three hours of each other. The ma
tives had just completed the dressing
of the skins when an elephant hove in
sight.
Baron Klingspor did not hesitate for
second. He began blazing away at
the animal and he had fired more than
80 shots before the big brute expired.
Baron Klingspor is returning to stock
holm to rejoin the Royal Guards, of
which he is a member
