WOMAN SHOOTS AT
MIDNIGHT BURGLARS

IT have no fear of robbers, as I
learned to use a revolver year ago, un-
der the tuition of my father, who is
captain of the police in Oakland, y
said Mrs w. c. Colby, 1892 West
Thirty-fifth street, last night after she
had fired five shots at two robbers
who attempted to enter her home.
Mrs. Colby was asleep with her
Young daughter and was awakened by
the sound of a window being opened.
She looked up and saw the shadow of
u man silhouetted against the wall.
Instinctively she reached for the re-
volVer which is always kept beneath
her pillow, and fired through the par
tition. The man fled and Mrs. Colby
clad in her nightgown, pursued him
and discharged two more shots at the
retreating figure, none of which, it is
believed, took effect.
When a second man was seen emerg-
ing from beneath the trees in the
front lawn Mrs. Colby followed and
fired two more shots at the disappear
ing figures.
The neighborhood was awakened and
a call was sent to the University sta
ton, but all efforts to locate the two
men were in vain.
"r could have killed him with the
first shot if | wished" said Mrs. Col
by, "but l only wanted to frighten
him away.
Il was not at all afraid, but when l
saw that there were two men l fol-
lowed, and it was not my fault that
aid not land at least one of them L
always carry a revolver and 1 have no
fear of burglars. 1 think 1 must have
wounded the man that first tried to
open the window, although I could find
no blood stains"

DOUBLE ARREST
BRINGS TOuIGHT
POLICE SCANDAL
Captain of Purity Squad
Hands in His Resigna-
ton Suddenly
WOMAN REVEALS ALL
Detectives State Officer
Was Found Hiding
in Closet

THE belated discovery of an alleged
theft resulted last night in the
Il arrest of Myrtle Booth, alias
Lucille Spaulding, 1342 Mission road,
charged with grand larceny; the arrest
of Maurice H. Densmore, 732 Sichel
street. charged with placing his wife
in a disorder1y house, and incidentally
caused the resignation of Patrolman
A. c. Berchtold, known in police par
lance as captain of the purity squad"
Mrs. Ida Densmore appeared at the
district attorneys office yesterday and
asked for a search warrant, intimating
that jewelry, embroidery and other
valuable household articles had been
stolen from her home while she was
sick, and Miss Booth, or Spauldlng, as
registered at police headquarters, was
nursing her.
Detectives Hosick and Mccain were
detailed on the case and were refused
admittance to the house at 1342 Mis-
sion road until they threatened to
break the door,
Miss Lucille said the detectives could
search the house, as she was innocent
of any wrong doing, and when De-
tective Hosick entered the clothes
closet he says he found Patrolman
Berchtold hiding.
The detective was surprised, as was
the patrolman, and when the matter
was reported to Chief Dishman,
Berchtold was invited to a private con-
ference, at the end of which he eX-
pressed a willingness to sign his resig-
nation.
Further search revealed a number
of articles, which Mrs. Densmore iden-
titled as having been stolen from her
house during the first week of last
November, while being attended by
Lucille. The accused is said to have
admitted stealing other articles, which
she disposed of, and when questioned
by detectives stated sine had lived with
Berchtold for three years.
Lucille was locked up at police head
quarters, booked on suspicion. 1t then
developed that Mrs. Densmore had OBJ
tanned another complaint, charging her
husband with placing her in a dis
orderly house.
Mrs. Densmore said that there had
been a Clique dominating her. and
although she dreaded publicity decided
that it was time an exposure should be
made.

BRINK'S APPLICATION is
DENIED BY COMMISSION
Request for Chance to Withdraw De-
MED Proprietor of Saddlerock
by Unanimous Vote

The police commission unanimously
denied the request of John e. Brink to
withdraw his application for restau-
rant liquor permit for the Saddlerock
restaurant. When the request for the
withdrawal was read by the clerk at
the meeting Of the commission last
night Commissioner Topham said:
Il move this application be denied. a
withdrawal in most cases would be
sufficient. but not in this. Mr.. Brink
was given an opportunity to withdraw
his application, but refused to take ad-
vantage Of it, and the case has been so
notorious that I believe 1t our duty to
deny this application"
He was seconded by Commissioner
Wellborn, and the commission voted
unanimously.
Brink's permit was revoked by the
police commission several months ago
on charges preferred by d. N. Gandier
The evidence showed that liquor had
been sold illegally.

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 5.-Two men
are dead and nine others were injured
in a rear end collision between two
westbound freight trains in the oregon
Railway & Navigation railroad three
miles east of Cascade Locks today. The
dead:
T. H. CARSON, Kearney, Neb., buyer
for the Union Meat company, crushed
to death.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN, burned to
death.

Mr.. Mclean, Mauch Chunk, Pa,
cattleman, arm broken and internal in
juries.
Four other men were slightly injured.
Two Specials Collide
An extra freight train consisting of
ten carloads of hogs from Nebraska,
several carloads of cattle and an emil
grant car was proceeding slowly when
another extra freight came along at a
speed of fifteen miles an hour and
crashed into the rear of the slower
train, crushing the caboose and emil
grant car into splinters.
The train crews Immediately set to
work to rescue those in the caboose.
The last of the injured was taken out
of the wreckage just before a fire
broke out.
In a short time the flames had con-
sumed both cars, and it is believed an
immigrant who was caring for some
furniture in the emigrant car was
burned to death.
Immediately following the wreck a re-
lief train was sent from this city and
the body of Carson and all but one of
the injured brought here.

CURIOSITY SAVES LIFE
OF W0ULD-BE SUICIDE

DENVER, Jan. 5.-The inquisitive-
ness of a messenger boy saved the life
of Miss Eva Hams, 19 years old, who
had taken several bichloride of mer-
curry tablets with suicidal intent.
The girl wrote a note to male
friend informing him of her intentions
and gave it to a messenger to deliver.
The latter read the missive and hus-
tied to the police station with it. Po-
lice Surgeon Mudd was dispatched to
the girls room and found her in great
agony. Emetics gave relief, and an
hour later the girl was out of danger.
She refused to discuss her intentions
to end her life. The note said: send
