HUNTER IS KILLED
BY HIS OWN GUN
Richard Maynard of San Fran
cisco Receives Discharges
of Two Barrels in Heart

ALAMEDA, Oct. 3.-Richard May
nard, 1S years old, and who lived With
his mother at 1855 Sutter street, San
Francisco, was instantly killed by the
accidental discharge of his shotgun
while hunting this morning in San
Leandro bay, off the east end of San
Jose avenue. The charges in both bar
rels of the firearm tore through the
youths heart
Maynard was hunting alone when
he met his death His body was found
lying on mudfiat near his boat by his
brother, Charles Maynard. The latter
at first sight thought that Richard had
become mired and was fast in the
ooze. Upon nearing the body he saw
that it was smeared with blood.
Charles lifted the body and in doing so
realized that his brother was dead. He
summoned assistance from other hun
ters in the vicinity and the remains
were conveyed to the shore.
Richards gun was found lying in
the boat, with the barrels projecting
over the side near where the body of
the hunter lay. From appearances it
is judged that Richard had showed his
boat upon the mud fiat as far as he
could and that he was in the act of
getting out of the boat and dragging
the gun after him when it was dis
charged through the hammers catch
ing on the side of the boat.

MISS CROCKER HAS
MORE LOSING LUCK
Misses Letter of Credit as She
Is About to Board Train

1t appears that Miss Jennie Crocker,
the wealthiest young woman in Cali
fornia, is acquiring the losing habit.
The disappearance of a letter of credit
large enough to defray her own ex-
penses and still leave enough for
luxurious entertainment for her friends
during a stay in Europe is the latest
of her experiences. Viewed in the light
of a previous experience when she lost
the famous $4,000 pearl necklace the
habit seems to have gained a rather
tight clutch.
Miss Crocker is now speeding east
ward to pay visit to the Whitelaw
Reids in London. She left the st.
Francis hotel on Friday morning and
not until after she had boarded the
train did she miss a bag containing her
letter of credit.
depot and then telephoned to the st.
Francis asking that the taxicab in
which she rode to the station be
searched.
Finally becoming nervous she - de-
cided to miss the train and rushed to
the hotel. The letter could not be
found, so she ordered that it be cam
celed that she might be spared fur
ther embarrassment. The young heiress
took the evening train.
