SAVES TWO
TOTS FROM DEATH
Reaches From COwcatcher and
Grabs Children as Engine
Sweeps on Little Ones

OAKLAND. March 13.-With daring
heroism and splendid presence of mind,
Fireman R. w. Lovelace of Seventh
street local train sprang to the cow
catcher of his engine yesterday and
snatched from death two children who.
all unconscious of the train laundering
down upon them, were playing on the
tracks. He struck at one with the
back of his hand. hurting it out of
harms way, and at the same instant
picked up the other. Neither of the
children was injured.
The two little ones were Cecil and
Fanny Cole. aged and respectively.
They had wandered away from paren-
tai control and began playing on the
tracks near the west end of the
Seventh street trestle across the north
arm Of the estuary.
Lovelace hrst observed the tots from
his seat in the cab of the locomotive.
He saw that in the excitement of their
play they failed to hear the engine sig
nails Of warning. Just as the train
bore down upon them the engineer re-
versed the throttle and threw on the
DTIkeSs out lsON6ldCe, ItcOEHlZi0B the
utter futility of attempting to stop
the train in time, jumped through the
cab window to the running board and
from there to the cowcatcher. AS the
engine rushed down on the children
he leaned forward and grasped Baby
Cecil in his right hand, lifting her
high. At the same instant he knocked
the other child off the track.
The act was witnessed by scores of
persons who, observing the children
on the tracks, expected to see them
mangled in another second. Their
shouts of warning and advice were,
however. stilled at the sight of the gal
liant fireman. leaning as far forward as
possible, poised with outstretched
hands TO grasp for the childish forms.
Even then it was thought that but
one could be saved. and an Involuntary
shout broke from them when they wit
messed him throw one child off the
track and pick up the other The train
ran for more than 40 feet from where
the youngsters We're playing before it
could be brought to a stop.
Lovelace is p years old, and has
been in the employ of the Southern Pa
cifc for eight years. He lives with his
mother and sister at 1921 Linden ave-
nue.. The children live at Seventh and
Fallon streets.

The Stanford freshmen triumphed over
the athletics from the Cogswell Poly
technic college here today by the de-
cisive score of 741a to 471s. There were
no startling features in the competi-
ton, but the young athletes were good

unusual exhibition of gameness was
given by two freshmen, Levy and
Smart. who captured the two, first

WOMAN SLAYER'S
WITNESS TANGLED
Sister of Mrs. Dnden Contra
diets Self in Relating Circunl-
stances of Killing

SAN DIEGO. March 1S--During the
examination of state witnesses this
morning In the trial OF Mrs. Efhe Du-
den, on a charge of numbering her
BROTHER in law. Bruce Shelter. dis
pute as to the whereabouts OF Mrs
Dudens husband at the time the fatal
shots were fred arose through the
contradictory statements made by
Miss Eva James. sister Of Mrs. Duden
On the stand this morning Miss
James testified that she did not know
where Duden was at the time Of the
shooting. She admitted that at the
coroner's inquest she had sworn that
Duden was in his room with her She
also admitted that Duden had since
told her that he was not in the room
at the time. The defense tried Ia
every manner possible to suppress this
bit of contradictory evidence
The court ruled against the request
of the prosecution that the jury be
taken to the scene OF the shooting 70
investigate the premises
SHRINKs FROM REVOLVER
When Oncer Couts, the second wit
ness OF the morning, identified the re-
volver with which II Is claimed Shelf
fer was killed. Mrs. Duden shranl<
from the sight as though IN pain. not
looking once in the direction OF the
witness stand.
Oficer PringIe. who was on the
witness stand when court adjourned
yesterday. continued with his testi-
mony this morning. making damag-
ing witness against the defenses .
tween Shelter and Mrs. Duden and
that the latter shot in self-defense.
Pringle told Of finding a hair switch.

but added that the hair switch was
not mussed up in the least. that the
shawl was lying at the foot OF the
bed and that the hasr comb was hair
way under the bed Beyond this
there were no signs OF struggle. he
said.
Eva James told OF hearing noise
like a gas explosion and OF rushing
into the hall She saw Mrs. Duden
by the stairs and her husband beside
her She heard her sister. Mrs Du-
den. say. He tried TO kill me and
shot him." She saw Mrs. DUden pin
ming up her hair, then she tainted.
ASKED To SEE WOMAN
She also testified that Shelter had
come to her in the kitchen a short time
previous and asked 70 see Mrs Duden
His manner was calm and collected.
Mrs Duden that Shelter wanted to see
her. she said. and short time after
Mrs Duden went into Shelters room
the shooting followed Miss James was
still on the stand when court adjourned
at the noon hour until Monday morn
ing
As the case unfolds It becomes evil
dent that the prosecution is going on
the theory that the defense will at
tempt to show that a struggle took
place between Mrs Duden and shelter
and that she shot him. To offset this
the state will attempt 20 prove that
there was no struggle and that the so
called signs of struggle in Shef7er's
room were a plant" Detectives ac-
quainted with Mrs. Duden's former
career are here. as is Captain Mafer
and Captain Black Of the Ottumwa DO
lice force. who will testify for the
prosecution. Mrs. Duden formerly re-
sided in Ottumwa.
