UNKNOWN MAN SLUGS
RAILROAD DETECTIVE
Chief Special Agent of Southern
Pacific Is Attacked on
Street

P. j. Kindelon, chief special agent
of the Southern Pacific, was the object
of a murderous attack last Monday
night as he stepped off Haight street
car for his home at 527 Duboce avenue.
Kindelon had been on duty all day
looking after excursion trains, and
thinks that the assault was made by
some man whom he had occasion to
admonish and was prompted by a spirit
of revenge.
Kindelon says his assailant stepped
off the car at the same time he did
and struck him with a heavy instru-
meht over the head.
Kindelon thinks he must have been
stunned by the blow, for he remem-
bers having drawn his gun, but was
unable to pull the trigger although he
remembers seeing the fleeing figure.
No effort was made to rob him, he says.
Kindelon was at his office yesterday

BANK OF MONTREAL
MAY LOCATE HERE
Reported to Be Negotiating for
the Purchase of Splendid
Building Site
Local Branch Probably Will Be
Established of Canadian
Financial Institution

Local banking circles are aStir over
the persistent report that has been
circulated to the effect that the Bank
of Montreal, one of the largest financial
institutions in the country, has been
negotiating for the purchase of the
southeast corner of California and San
some streets. The corner has been in
the possession of the Mutual life in
surance company of New York for
many years and has been considered
one of the best realty investments in
the financial district. 1t is opposite the
new quarters of the Bank of California
and is in the center of the largest
banks in the city. The Canadian Bank
of Commerce and the San Francisco
branch of the Mutual life company oc-
cupy temporary buildings on the site.
Comment among the bankers as to
probable negotiations is rife. The en-
actment of the Armstrong insurance
law in New York recently checked what
ever building ambitions the Mutual life
company may have entertained. This
fact is considered as one of the strong
circumstances which has given an as
pect of truth to the many reports.
The Bank of Montreal has taken
prominent place in the banking history
of Canada and the United States. At
present the big institution supports
branch banks in Mexico City and Spo-
kane, and it is believed that an increase
of business in this section of the coun-
try would warrant the establishment of
a branch bank here.
w. H. Chiekering. attorney for the
local branch of the Mutual life insur
ance company, declared yesterday that
he knew nothing of negotiations for
the property, and that if negotiations
have been carried on it has been
through the New York offices of the in
surance company and the mother bank
in Montreal.
The Bank of Montreal is capitalized
at S1440O,00O, and its advent in local
financial circles would be welcomed, ac-
cording to the statements of prominent
local financiers.

NEW BANK BUILDING
OPENED TO PUBLIC
Financiers Throng the COrri-
dOrs of the Calif0rnia's Hand
some Structure

The Bank of California opened it's
new building at Sansome and California
streets to the public yesterday,
and from 10 o'clock in the morning
until long after regular banking hours
the building was thronged with visit
ors. The desks of the officers were
loaded with flowers. gifts from friends.
The bank began to move Saturday
evening At 10> o'clock yesterday
morning everything of value had been
placed in the new structure. Sunday
night at II o'clock the clerks took into
the new building more than $54, 100000
in coin and securities. Everything was
placed in the four new steel vaults.
The new structure is copied from the
plans of the old Roman temple, "Jupi-
ter Stator," and is of the classic Ro-
man style, 112 feet in depth by 80 in
width and so feet high. On the ground
floor are the offices of officers and di-
rectors and the counting room. The
land and legal departments and the
directors meeting room are on the
upper floor. The basement is set off for
store rooms.
The surface wall of the counting
room, for heighth of IA feet, is COW
cred by brown Tennessee marble.
The ceiling is of large ornamented
panels, gilded and picked out with
pale blue. California materials, as
much as could be procured, are used
throughout. The Raymond granite
used in the exterior construction was
mined and cut in this state. A ram s
head at the entrance of the building
and a pair of California mountain
lions are the work of Arthur Putnam
of this city.
Four steel vaults are in the build
ing, two in the basement and two on
the ground floor. The partitions of
the counting room are entirely of
steel, as is the furniture, painted to
resemble mahogany. In the rear of
the building, between the exterior COR
ner pillars and the inside wall, is an
elevator and a spiral stairway, entirely
hidden from the view of the public.
The light for the counting room comes
from windows 35 feet high. The count
ers are of marble and the grill work
of bronze and brass. A system of
pneumatic tubes extends throughout
the structure. The cost of the build
ing is said to be close to $2,000,000.

MaCNEvINS WAR
OVER PROPERTY
Wife Sues to Recover Deed
Given Her Husband Before
the Estrangement

The first gun in the threatened litiga-
ton between William v. MacNevin. the
real estate man, and Gertrude MacNevtn,
was filed yesterday, the wife bringing
suit for the setting aside of deed by
which she conveyed to her husband
parcel of improved land on the soutN
side of Broadway, east of kearney
street. The conveyance was made on De-
cember 2, 1907. Mrs. MaeNevtn states
that she decided her husband the land
at his request without any considera'
ton. The instrument was never "deliv-
cred" to him in the legal sense, the
complaint states, and 1T was expressly
agreed that the physical possession by
MacNevin of the deed should not be
considered delivery.
On August 10, 1908. after the es-
arrangement between MacNevin and his
wife. he placed the deed on record. and
on the same date, 1T is alleged. with the
purpose of defrauding his wife, decided
the property to Lena A. MacNevin. his
mother, without consideration Mrs. Lena
MacNevin is alleged to have mortgaged
the property to JenS P. Mtssun as secur-
ity for a promissory note for $4,000.
Mrs Gertrude MacNevin asks tho
court to adjudge that she is the sole
owner of the property, to declare null
and void the deed by which she con-
veyed it to her husband. and to re-
strain Mrs Lena MacNevin from selling
or transferring it.
