who were dressed in oilskins and
boots, went down with the vessel. Most

patched to the scene OF the disaster
at daylight and divers made an attempt
to recover the bodies OF the men who
were drowned
An officer who was an eyewitness
to the sinking of the Tiger gave the
following account of the accident:
The first we knew that anything
had happened was when we saw a
flash and heard a loud report, which
came when the sea water reached the
boiler room of the Tiger, causing an
escape of steam which must have
scalded to death everybody that II
touched The men in the stoke holds

Judge Csney yesterday.
The order of the Anglo-Californlan
bank to show why it should not be
punished for contempt for refusing to
pay over to the safe deposit company
$4,000 on deposit at the time of the
smash was discharged. 1t was agreed
that the money should be placed in the
custody of Receiver LIE Breton pending
determination of it's ownership. The
Western Pacific railway company
claims the money.
Permission to sue the safe deposit
company for $4,000 was refused the
Union national bank of Oakland Title
to the money will. however, be de-
cided in Judge Coffey's court.
Mrs. Leonide G.. Auzerais was denied
permission to sue the bank for termina-
tion of the lease of the Fillmore street
branch premises. Receiver lie Breton
explained that the bank had spent be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 in improve
ments and Judge Coffey viii decide
later whether the lease shall be termi-
mated.
In August, 1905, Emil Wieland decided
to the safe deposit company property
in Montgomery avenue, as he did not
wish it to stand in his own name.
Judge Coffey ordered the realty decided
back to Wieland, the receiver merely
asking for compensation, which the
court fixed at 500.

Rev. j. E. Schultz Seventh Day Ad-

wife. who arrived here yesterday on
the liner Mongolia, are still suffering
from the shock of murderous attack
made upon them last November at
Kobe by Oscar c. Spohn. a college ath-
lete, who had accompanied Schultz to
the orient as a stenographer. Spohn
is supposed to be in this city. Schultz,
with his wife and two children, left
today for Mount Vernon, o.
Spohn, who is 19 years of age and
weighs $50 pounds. wanted to accom-
pany Schultz to Korea, but the mis-

missionary to go alone, as affairs in
the Hermit Kingdom were disturbed
and they feared lest Spohn's hotheaded-
ness might cause trouble. Spohn re-
NAMED at Kobe with Mrs Schultz and
the children while Schultz was in
Korea Schultz returned to Kobe last
November.
According to the story told by a pas
senger on the Mongolia, who was In
Kobe at the time, Spohn crept into the
Schultzes' sleeping apartment during
the night, armed with a sledge hammer.
He first battered in Mrs. Schultz head
and then attacked the missionary.
Schultz, his skull fractured and blood
spouting from numerous arteries, broke
away from his assailant, secured a
pistol and brought the stenographer to
bay Mr.. and Mrs. Schultz left the hos
pital few days before they boarded
the Mongolia In the absence of any
one to take charge of the prosecution
Spohn was allowed to leave the coun-
