Motorman Fails to See Danger Ahead
and Trains are Telescoped-Many
Passengers Fatally Injured

Berkeley, Calf, Feb. IA score
of persons were injured, some prob
ably fatally, when the Berkeley train
at the Key route pier about two
miles from shore telescoped the Oak
Ind train which had stopped for sig
mails early today. A heavy fog envel-
oped the pier and the motorman did
not observe the danger in time to re-
duce the momentum of his train which
was travelling out of the pier at rap
id rate. The following persons, all
of whom are residents of Oakland, all
more or less seriously injured, were
taken to Merritt hospital, Oakland:
Asa Bennett, John B. Diggs, A. B.

ROWDY DOG LANGUISHES
BEHIND PRISON BARS

Spokane, Wash, Feb. 12-"Boom-
er," a trained dog, which assists it's
master, John L. Brennan, in watch
ing crossing on the Northern Pa
cific railroad, is proof of the oft
quoted theory that evil associations
corrupt the morals of CANNES as we'll
as human beings. The dog was ar
rested by Humane Officer Rudersdorf
on complaint of the Washington Wa
ter Power company on the charge of
attacking its street car conductors in
an outlying district in Spokane. The
cause of the animals depravity is its
habit of frequenting a saloon near
It's post at Davision staeet when not
on duty. Loungers in the ginnery
have derived what seemed to them
amusement by siccing the dog on
the conductors, and it appeared to be
a case of abating the dog or equip
ping the carmen with leg-guards. The
company believed the former course
to be the most economical and the re-
suit that Boomer" languishes in
the Human society's bastile, while its
owner is obliged to do all the work
at the crossing Brennan has en-
listed the aid of several councilmen
to save the dog from the crematory,
promising that he will not permit the
animal to visit the saloon in the fu-
ture.

CLEVER INDIAN FORGER IS
FINALLY RUN To EARTH

the trial. if the case ever goes that
far.
The arrest of this well-known brave
on forgery charge is the first of its
kind to occur here for some time but
it has served to recall the fact that
the redman seems to be a natural ad-
ept at this kind of work. 1t is a we'll
known fact that the Indians take nat
urally to penmanship and far surpass
their paleface brotherI with the same
amount of instruction. The art
of imitation also seems to come nat
ural to them and Major Lee Moor
house, maker of the famous Moor
house Indian pictures, former agent
of the Umatilla Indian reservation and
student of Indian life, says the reds
can give the Whites cards and spades
at the forgery game and then leave
them far in the rear.
In talking of the matter the major
recalled the time when a student Of
the agency Indian school who was not
more than 13 or IA years of age,
forged the name of Major G. w. Har-
per, then agent on the reservation, to
a check for s2.5oo. The agents name
had been forged so cleverly that it was
accepted without question at the bank
but as there did not happen to be that
much cash on hand at the institution
in those days. the bank was unable to
, liquidate.
Another instance was recalled in
which a reservation Indian girl made
a practice of raising the checks given
her from time to time by B. f. Nc
Elroy, who at that time was agency
farmer. She never raised them very
high and for that reason her offens-
es went unnoticed. all through one
summer and until late in the fall
, when the farmer undertook to balance
up his accounts by checking up his
returned checks with the stubbs.
The -Linser incident was
also cited by the Major in substanti-
alton of his statement that the Indian
is a natural imitator of signatures
This was the case in which Ed Chap
man, the Indian, forged the name of
Ed Linser so perfectly that Linser,
himself, though knowing he did not
write the check was forced to admit
its close resemblance to his own. The
officials of the bank to whom it had
been presented for payment insisted
that the signature was genuine. even
after Linser had declared that it was
not his 1t finally developed that 1t
was another case of successful forgery

Walter Peo, the well-known young
Indian and son of the Umatilla chief,
who is now confined in the asylum
maintained by the government at
Canton, South Dakota, for insane In
dians, occupies a cell in the county
Jail, charged with forgery. Sheriff
Taylor, who has been on the track of
the young redskin for several months,
returned with his prisoner this
morning from Lewiston, Idaho, where
he had been arrested on telegraphic
information from the Pendleton Off
Ger. Taylor says there is no doubt of
his guilt
The crime for which Young Peo
will be compelled to stand trial was
committed in Pendleton several
months ago. when he forged the name
of George La Fontaine to a check for
s275 and succeeded in getting the
worthless piece of paper cashed at
the American National bank. So per-
fectly was the signature of La Fon-
taine initiated that the cashier at the
bank paid the money over without
gerry was not discovered until several
days later. BY that time the cashier
could not recall a description of the
man to whom the money had been
paid. He could not tell whether he
was white, red or black. This made
the task of apprehension a difficult
one for the officers. but Sheriff Tay-
lor took up the case and at last has
the man he thinks is guilty behind
the prison bars.
Had Pete not become reckless by his
success here, he might never have
been arrested for the Pendleton Of
fense. But made bold by his good for
tune in this city, he went to North
Yakima and there attempted the same
thing, only the check in that instance
been successful there but for the fact
that La Fontaine was not known in
that vicinity and his signature could
not therefore be identified. The
check was kept, however. and finally
found its way into Sheriff Taylor's
hands The officer Immediately rec
ognized that the hand that wrote one
wrote both. so he went to Yakima and
finally secured a description of the
Indian which enabled him to secure
other evidence and make the arrest.
The remainder of the case against
the accused man, who has practically
admitted his guilt will come out at

Tangier. Morocco, Feb. 12.-Raisu-
II, the notorious bandit, died today
and it is believed he was the victim of
a poison plot. Raisuli first came in
to prominence when he kidnapped
Ion Perdicaris, an American citizen
The United States government imme-
lately dispatched warships to Moroc-
co and demanded his release of the
sultan. Despite the young rulers de-
mands, Raisuli held out and refused
TO release Perdicaris until the sultan
made him governor of Tangier.
He continued as governor until
France and Spain demanded his dis
missal. He then fled to the hills and
began series of raids, kidnapping
and brigandage. which made him the
most feared and most talked of man
i'm northern Africa. The most dra-
matte of his escapades, however, was
the daring kidnapping of Walter B.
Harris, correspondent of a London
newspaper. He was stolen from his
beautiful home on the beach of Tan
gier and a ransom of ten thousand
dollars for his release was demand
ed. For more than a month Har-
ris held out although he was kept a
closely guarded prisoner in Raisulrs
mountain stronghold When a head
less corpse was bundled into his room
and he was compelled to live with it
for more than a week Harris yielded
and paid the ransom.
The last of Raisuli's victims was Sir
Caid Maclean. an English subject
who was military adviser. The bri
gands released Maclean only when
the British government promised to
pay the demanded $4,000 ransom.

Room Who Attacks Her With
Knife.
Seattle, Feb. 12-Awakening at four
this morning to find an insane man
leering at her. Mrs Harry Painting,
living at 300S Leitia Avenue, attempt
ed TO rise from bed only to be set up
on by the maniac who stabbed her
several times in different parts of the
body. inflicting serious wounds for
which she is being treated at the city
hospital. Following the assault the
unknown assailant escaped, the police
being unable to find him. Mrs. Pant
ing was awakened by the lamp light
shining in her eyes. Seated in chair
across the room from where she and
her baby lay in ber, almost paralys-
ing her with fright. she beheld the
grinning countenance of an insane
man. Her demand to know what the
intruder was doing in the room met
with an insane laugh. The woman
then attempted to get out of bed but
before she could do so the man leaped
upon her, and began slashing her with
n knife. Finally bleeding from many
wounds, and almost fainting with hor-
ror Mrs. Painting succeeded in elud-
ing the clutches of the murderous
crazy man, secured a revolver from
her dresser drawer but when she at
tempted to fire the man had disap-
peared as mysteriously as he came.
