By r. x. FHommedieu

The 09 White steam cal has arrived,
and as a result the local branch Of the
White company is about the busiest
place in town. The big garage was
crowded all day yesterday with persons
who came TO see the car that has
proven one OF the sensations OF the
wear in automobile circles Many Of
the interested ones were from the coun-
Try. Among the earliest arrivals were
F. g. Waterman and p party of pros
pectiVe buyers from Fresno.
Tho dem0nstrator which arrived sun
day is the model 20" the smaller Of
the two models turned out by the
White factory for 1903. The car
IS rated AT 20 horsepower and seats
i've passengers. IT has been gen
orally pronounced the handsOmest
car ever made 10y the well known steam
car makers. Tt is the straight line type,
and the effect IS one Of graceful light
ness and serviceable strength. In
quality OF workmanship the car more
than lives up to the reputation for eN-
ceflence already established by the ma
chimes made by the White company.
The new car is equipped with a dis

BLOOM VICTIM OF
DRUNKEN PRIVATE
Body of Lieutenant, Murdered in
Philippines, Is Brought
Home by Widow

Mrs. E. J. Bloom. widow of the late
Lieutenant Bloom, Fourth infantry,
came home on the transport Buford
yesterday with her infant and the body
OF her husband, who was shot down in
cold blood in the Philippines by a
drunken soldier. The death of Lieuten-
ant Bloom was one of the saddest trag-
edies in the history of American occu-
patton in the far east. The victim was
young man and he leaves behind his
bride of two years ago and tiny baby.
The man who killed him was Private
James X. SUttles, member of the
Fourth infantry's machine gun platoon,
of which Lieutenant Bloom was in COM
mand Suttles had been drinking beno
and was absent on the day of the
tragedy when stables was called,
about 4:30 In the afternoon. Bloom left
orders that when Suttles showed up, If
not very drunk, he should not be
locked up. but merely placed under ar
rest lin barracks" SuttIes put in an
appearance about 5 o'clock. apparently
sober but suffering from the after eff
fects of his Indulgence in beno, which
is composed largely of wood alcohol.
Suttles was told ne must not leave
the barracks. He went to his quarters
and, after putting a razor edge on his
pocket knife, took a revolver from un-
der his mattress and walked over to
Lieutenant Blooms quarters. The lieu
tenant was lying on a steamer chair on
the front veranda- Suttles went TO
the back door and sent message to
the officer. As Bloom stepped out on
the back porch the soldier opened fire,
sending three bullets through Bloom s
body and inflicting injuries from which
Bloom died SO hours later. After shoot
ing Bloom, Suttles took out the knife
he had so carefully sharpened and COM
mitted suicide by cutting his throat
Blooms body will be buried in the
national cemetery at Washington.
