soon as the rain ceased Ely insisted on

dipped so that the wheels touched the
water and a piece was ripped out of

forests are insured at a moderate
rate"
Graves estimated that 81 per cent OF
the fires in 1909 were due to the lack

Alleged Malicious Libel

An amended complaint was filed yes
terday by Gray Brothers, the contrac-
tors and rock crushers. in the suit for
$4,000 damages begun against the
Daily News December 81, 1906, a de-
murrer to the first complaint having
been sustained by Judge Graham The
article complained of, which was pub
lished December 13, 1906, contained the
following:
IT is claimed that Herbert Schmitz
has been able to secure from the
administration certain privileges of
exceptional value to the firm of Gray
Brothers, in which he is said to pos
sess large interests. Due to the in
iuence of Herbert Schmitz, it is al
legged, previous to the fire Gray Broth
ers secured nearly all the rich plums
in relation to the street work of the
city"
Gray Brothers charge that these as
sertions were malicious and false and
exposed them to hatred, contempt and

Luella Boquies, his wife, dying with a
bullet home in the back of her head,
was the startling double tragedy dis
covered in the Boquies bedroom by the
negro cook at the hotel this morning
at 1870 o'clock. A double murder, a
murder and suicide. suicide compact
all are theories that may explain
the tragis deaths of the Boquies.
District Attorney Otto c. Gregory
was summoned to Blue Lake shortly
after noon to make a thorough inves-
tigation of the tragedy and direct the
inquest.
1t was in the night that the couple
were Shot, as H. J. Layerty of Blue
Lake, next door neighbor to the ho-
tel, heard the shots fired. He thought
nothing of the reports and returned
to sleep.
At 1880 o'clock this morning Oscar
Poulson, the cook, made second trip
to the bedchamber of Mr.. and Mrs.
Boquies to waken them. He had
raped at the door as usual at o'clock
this morning and had received no re-
sponse. He thought they wished to
sleep and did not attempt to disturb
them further. At 1870 o'clock, when
neither appeared. he went to the bed
room again and raped loudly He
received no response. eFarful that
something might be wrong he burst
in the door. Boquies lay on the bed
dead. On the floor lay Mrs. Boquies,
unconscious and near death. She died
this afternoon.
The concensus of opinion is that
Mrs Boquies shot and killed her hus-
band and then killed herself. A re-
volver was found in the room, pre-
sumably the one from which the fatal
shots were fred
