Miss Lee of Sausalito Will Produce a Will in Her Favor. The Dead Man’s Account-Books and Deseds Disappear With His Diamonds. SAN RAFAEL, CaL, June 2L—The | ecene of the squabble for the property of | the late Dr. Richard Thomas Freeman, who died last Wednesday at the home of Mrs. A. D. Bell, bas been transferred from Sausalito to the county seat, and the courts have now been appealed to. Public Administrator Edward Eden filed in the County Clerk’s office at 9 o’ciock to-day a petition for special letters of administra- | tion on the estale of Dr. Freeman. The | petition set forth that no application of any kind had been filed for the probate of the last will of the deceased, or for letters of administration, and that the property would suffer for want of an administrator. The petition stated that Dr. Freeman left | no heirs-at-law in California, | Jennie Lee, the niece of Mrs. Bell and one of the women who claim that the doctor was engaged to marry them, filed a vetition at 10 o’clock for special letters of | administration. She sets forth thav D-. Freeman was a widower snd left no| father, mother or issue surviving. She | usserts that on the 31st ot December, 1595, | she filed in the office of the County Clerk | a will made by Dr. Freeman in her favor, and that the will is now in the custody of Clerk Bonneau. Judge Carroll Cook of San Francisco, | who is occupyving the Superior bench | during JudgeAngellotti’s absence, listenea to the applications this morning, but pu. the proceedings over until next Monday 30 that the will in the County Clerk’s big safe can be piroduced. It has been learned that the will alleged by Jjennie Lee to have been made by the doctor in her favor wasdrawn up by Re- corder Joseph H. FPryor of Sausalito, at the instance of Dr. Freeman. Yesterday Edward Eaen, Marin County’s Coroner and Pubiic Administra- tor, together with District Attorney E. B. Martinelli, made a thorough examination of the effects of Dr. Freeman, but found no will. The investigation was not wi out results. The officials failed to find the book of account kept by the doctor for a record of his property in Africa. Thi together with the mysterious disappear- ance of the costly diamonds, adds much to the interesting features of the case. In reply to questions as to where she thought the diamonds were Mrs. Bell said that siie was of the opinion that Dr. Free- man sent them to England. The officials | do not believe this and say that Mrs. Bell could tell more about the diamonds if she would. She was searched, as was her home, but no trace of the missing gems | could be found. Mrs. Bell is very indignant over the methods employed by the officers while searching her residence. She aeclares that beds were tumbled apart, mattresses torn up and pictures pulled down. Fail- ing in_their efforts to locate the mytuical | gems, Mrs. Bell states, she was forced by | the officials, under threat of going to jail, to disrobe in order that further search might be made, and she says that her niece, Miss Lee, was subjected to the grossest indignities by these officers of the law, who threatened and forced her into allow'ng a most disgraceful search of her person. Mrs. Bell threatens to begin a | suit for damages. ROMANCE OF STOCKTON. Eghteen-Year-0/d Eddie Fisker and H.s | Swestheart Believed to Have Eloped on a Bicycle.

PORTLAND, Or, June 21.—The base- ment and entire lower portion of the pos:office building was wrecked by a ter- rific explosion of gasat 2:20 o’clock this afternoon. Moloney, the head janitor of the Federal building, bad & narrow es- cape from death. He was severely burned about the heed and arms. William Cariyle, a clerk in the stamp department, was the only other person hurt. He re- ceivea a painful sealp wound from falling debris. Heavy damage was done to the building, and in every departmant the shock threw the employes into great con- Moloney’s escape from death is almost past understanding. For Lours this morning it was noticed that there was a sirong odor of gas about the Federal building. Two or three times was the fact reported, the lasttime at about a balf hour before the explosion oc- curred, when the odor became 30 power- iul that Superiniendent Whitehouse and his assistants in the money order depart- ment were almost overpowered by it. Word was sent to a plumber's shop at about noon, but no one had come to rem- edv the trouble. When Janitor Moloney came back from his dinner he was informed that there was gas escaping in the basement. He went into the janitor's room and lighted the jet and the explosion occurred. It is singularly fortunate that it was a dull time of day at the postoffice buildin; It being about the noon hour, the corri- dors were almost deserted, or there would bave been numerous injuries. The floor- ing was torn up and huge chunks of plas- tering were knocked from the ceiling and the walls. The United States mails were notdamaged. The walks about the build- ing, th- corridors and the steps were lit- tered with shattered bits of glass. The concussion was heard over the en- tire city. A second later great clouds of dust from the demolished plastering ob- scured the hallwavs, and as hundreds of excited people rushed to the scene, the cry was set up that a dozen people were in the corridor at the time and had been killed. e e SOPER’S PORTLAND CRIME. In a Lstter to His Second Wife He Telis Where Her Chila’s Corpse Is Bur.ed. PORTLAND, Ogr.,, June 2L-"Sandy” Sover has confessed to the fuil extent of nis fiendish child murders. This morn- ing his second wife received a letter from him, dated at his Missour: prison, stating that her little boy’s body would be found buried in a gulch at the foot of Tillamook street, on the east side. This letter is headed “Dear Katie,”” and was delivered to Mrs. Soper at ber residence on M street. It containsthe full particulars of his latest crime. Soper took the littie boy for a walk, and on reaching the Tillamook- street slough strangled the child. Then, digging a shallow grave in the hillside, he buried the corpse. Soper gives no particular reason for his horrible deed beyond the fact that he could not endure children, and, besides, tbev came between him and his wife. Mrs. Soper at once turned the letter over to Coroner Koehler. The distracted woman begged that she be allowed to ac- company the Coroner when that official prepared to make a search for the re- | mains, but out of pure humanity her re- quest was refused, At a late nhour this afternoon Coroner Koehler and his assistants had not re- turned from the scene of the child’s mur- der and burial, but beyond a doubt the description of the grave, was most ex- plicit. —_— PLANNED 10 KILL A4 TURNKEY. Jail-Delivery Frustrated by the Vigi- lance of a Keeper. LOS ANGELES, Can, June 21— Another attempt of prisoners to break out of the County Jail was frustrated last night by the vigilance of the turnkey, who had been marked for slaughter. Three prisoners laid their plans to escape by making a rush on Turnkey Smith, and afier killing him freeing themselves by means of his keys. Bissamo, under a ten years’ sentence to San Quentin for cattle- stealing; Ruiz, held for assault, and a petty larceny thief named Wilson, were all desperate enough to commit murder in furtherance of their scheme. The Sheriff had received an intimation that some such plot was being hatchea, d a search was made a few nighis ago, to no avail. Last night another search, took him to task for staying ont late at | Which afterward proved 10 have been night and associating with other youths whom they objected to.

A. | Hughes of Hughes & Co., the voolroom | proprietors here. 1n thecomplaint Smith asks the court for a perpetual injunction | restraining the cdefendant from unlaw- fally occupying premises leased by him. The injunction will be served to-morrow. The complaint sets forth that Hughes entered into a contract with Smith by which Smith leased him a lot on Water street in Sausalito. Hughes was to erect a building and pay Smith $50 8 month for five months after which Smith would own the building. The contract set for:h that the defendant was not to carry on any un- lawful business. Smith calls autention to ordinance 33 of the town of Sausalito prohib.ting all persons from engaging in selling pools. Smith claims that Hughes has been seiling pools on horse-races in violation of the contract and asks relief from the court. 3 The town people that the suit is partof a scheme vo get Hughes & Co. out of town and a lively time is promised for to-morrow, when the injunction is servea. —_— Eureka Elects Officers.

Then Smith’s throat was to have been cut, the keys taken away from him and a rush made for liberty. The man feil sick all right, but learning that pre- cautions had been taken he weakened and the plot was abandoned. g - VL AFTER MEXICAN TRADE. Los Angeles Business Men Talk of a Competing Boat Line. LOS ANGELES, Car., June 21.—At a meeting of the Merchants’ and Manu- facturers’ Association this evening, action was taken toward advancing this city's commercial relations with Mexico. Gen- eral Gullermo Andrade, the Mexican Consul, was present by invitation to ex- press his ideas of the essentials to this | city’s chances of competing in Mexican | markets with products of this region and with merchandise. The Consul said he bad found by investigation that Southern California haa an excellent opportunity in Mexican markets for petroleum, corn, hay, barley, beans, potatoes, hog produc and fruits, but before there could be hop | of success in that line the facilities for transportation mu-t be improved. Senator B. BSalazar of Chibuahua, James Moorkens, a merchant of Ensenada, and a number of local business men made brief addresses, the tenor of all being the necessity of overcoming the differential freight rates enjoyed to advantage by San Francisco. 1t was the sense of the meeting that an independent boat line be established between San Pedro and the ports of Western Mexico and Central America. —_———— Normal School Irustses Named, LOS ANGELES, CAL, June 2L—It is announced to-day that Governor Budd bas appointed J.

The Culprit a Wayward Son of a Prominent Man of Affairs. While Intoxicated He Starts Three Blazes Under the Pleasanton Hous FRESNO, Car., June 2L.—Walter Kur- nish, son of W. F. Furnish, a prominent business man of this city, was caught in the act of attempting to set the Pleasan- ton Hotel on fire this morning, about 2 o’clock. The hotel is a large three-story brick structure, located at the corner of Merced and I streets. Young Furnish applied a match to some dried grass im- mediately adjoining a frame annex to the hotel, and, had the blaze not been discov- ered, a disastrous conflagration would probably have resuited. George B. Landrum, a young man em- ployed at Madary’s planing-mill, was the one who caught the firebug. Landrum, while walking along I street on his way home, noticed a man steal up to the hotel annex. The fire fiend stooped to the ground, deliberately lighted a match and set the grass ablaze, after which he ran to a spot a short distance away. There he stopped ana looked back. The fire died out. The firebug returned and applied another match. He scurried away the second time, but the blaze went out. Furnish returned the third time and succeeded in starting a fire which quickly blazed up dangerously. He n turned and ran, coming directly toward Lan- drum. Without any difficulty Landrum stopped him. He then compeiled the firebug to take off his coat and accom- pany him back to the blaze and beat it out. This was done after some vigorous work. Landrum intended to take his captive to jail, but Furnish began o beg. He de- clared that he would not be concerned because of his own predicament, but it would pain bim very much to have his sick motber and little sisters sufier the disgrace he would bring to the family. Landrum relented and let the fellow go. Later he reconsidered the matier ana swore out a warrant for Furnish’s arrest. The young man was found at his home by Deputy Sueriff Timmins snd Depuiy Constable Henry. Furnish had “been drinking all nicht and was intoxicated when he atterpted arson. His only explanation to Landrum | was that he wanted to see the fire depart- | ment turn out. The prisoner is about 23 | years of age and has led a wild career, | notwithstanding the efforis of his parents | toreform him. He has been arrested a | number of times before for petty offenses. TO DEVELOP PICACHO MINES. Ex-Senator Dorsey Interests a Powerful London Syndicate in Arizona Froperty, PHENIX, Ariz., June 21.—It is stated now as a settled iact, and apparently upon | the best of authority, that ex-Senator 8. W. Dorsey has succeeded in organizing in London a gigantic syndicate of capitalists to handle his Picacho mining properties. These are located five miles south of the | Colorado R.ver in the Picacho Basin, and | they constitute what is said to be about | the biggest mining proposition in the United States. It compriges thirty full claims that lie | slmost parallel for alength of one mile, with a width averaging three-quarters of | a mile. A number of parallel ledges ex- tend through all the claims, the veins be- ing from 20 feet to 600 feet wide. At ! the time that ex-Senator Dorsey went to | work on the property nothing had been done on any of the claims except the as- sessment work of several vears on the four patentea claims known as the Neahr mines. These were developed toa depth | of 240 feet and belonged to Dr. Jayne. Tney were purchased by Dorsey for $250,000. Alter a careful examination by the Den- ver expert, William Farish, the neighbor- ing twenty-six claims were purchased by Dorsey from various owners, among whom were Colonel Ailen, Joseph Mendivil, Wil- | liam Swaine, Frank Guerra, CyrusWheeler and Allen J. Smith. The purchase price ageregated something over $350,000. Dorsey at once proceeded 1o develop the | whole group and secure a patent on it, | and when this work was completed he went to London to secure the necessary | capital for the erection of a 100-stamp miil and the consiruction of a railroad from the mines to the river. It is declared now that he has raised all the money essential %o work the property to its full capacity, | and the and the railroad will be under construction within a weeks. While a 100-stsmp mill will be erected first it is the intention to increase the milling ca- pacity as rapidly as possible up to 400 stamps. Lty NO DAMAGE A1 WATSONVILLE. Shake-Up to Buildings the Only Effect of the Earthquake. WATSONVILLE, OAr., June 21.—Yes- terday’s dispatches regaraing the damace caused in Watsonville by the earthquake were exaggerated, Buildings were shaken considerabiy by the temblor, but in no instance were the fire wails cracked.

BATTLE WITH TWO SHARKS. Crew of a Seattle Halbut Schooner Nar- rowy Escopes Death Off Cepe Flattery. SEATTLE, WasH., June 21.—The crew of the halibut schooner Annie, Captain Martin Olsen, had a desperate battle with two sharks on the last trip to the Cape Flattery tishing banks. The Annie put out her dories at the southwestern banks on Sund:y morning, a week ago. Tue sea was running high, ana to an inexpe- rienced person it would have appeared a very seasonable time to seek the sheiter of a barbor. The daring Norwegian cap- tain did not see it in that light. He was willing to return, but he wanted to bring a few fish along, and he found the halibut so plentiful that in a very few hours the Annie had a cargo of 10,000 poundsin spite of the weather. Just as the captain and the man who was with him in his dory were pulling into the schooner with their last load the «encounter with the sharks occurred. They were only a few boat Jlengths awsy from the schooner and the halibut line, with about 150 baited hooks, most of which held fine halibut, was being hauled in. The men knew from the weight that they had a sbark, which had got caught by swallowing one of the hooked halibut; but it soon transpired that they had two. Being drawn_into rather close quarters, the monsters became desperate and began to shoot into the air, first one and then the other. They looked like two sawlogs that were being tossed about in an im. mense whirlpool of a Columbia River flood. Neither fish was less than eighteen feet long, which1s about the length of the dory in which the men were riding. The maddened sharks would first shoot clear of the surface tuen dive down. Had they pulled togetherin any certain direc- tion they would have swamped the dory. Tne captain, seeing it would be folly to try to land the sharks, whipped out his knife and cut the line, freeing the mon- sters, halibut and all. The bridled run- aways, tethered together, are now plow- ing the briny deep off Fiattery or the Van- couver coast, probably giving a fine sub- marine performance for the benefit of & large audience of sea denizens, great, small and indifferent.

Informed of Her Good Fortune While In a Seattle Home for the Friendless. SEATTLE, Wasn., June 21.—A hall- breed Indian girl, who for several months has been trying o support herself by making dresses, but finaily had to giveit| up as a bad job and enter Mrs. Ryther's home for the friendless, received the news at police headquarters this morning that she is heiress to property in Everett, this Stale, valued at $100,000. The girl is Em- ma Kromer. Her brother Victor died yesterday morning in the Case Hospital at .nobomish. Her guardian did not know where she was, and telephoned to the police to find her. They located her | with Mrs. Ryther and this morning Cap- tain Sullivan told her of the brother’s | death aud the money that is cuminglo'i her. | Kromer, the father of the children, was | a business man in Boston, Mass., being & member of one of the largest shoe firms in that city, Through a misunderstanding, family trouble and fear of disgrace, he came West and located on 160 acres of land on Port Gardner Bay, tue site of the | present town of Everett. He built the | first house in that vicinity and it is still standing. After a few yearsof lonely life on the ranch he followed the example of many | other pioneers and courted a young Tula- | lip Indian woman, to whom he was| legaily married by a priest. Kromer dia not follow the example of some other pioneers when white women began to come into the country, but remained true | to his vows and livea with his Indian | wife and their three children. He never | returned to Boston, and he died about | nine years ago. The mother died later of consumption, the disease that carried | away the boy. | Kromer leit considerabie ‘money, but in his will he gave practically all of it to the boy, who was to look afier his sisters until they had completed their education. The giris were sent to the Academy of the | Sacred Heart in this city, while the brother attended a Portland academy. | When the ploneer aiea he stiil owned the | racch on which the greater part of Ever- | ettis built, and when the townsite com- | pany commenced to take an interest in | ihe valuable peninsula Henry Hewitt of | Tacoma succeeded in purchasing some of | it from the guardian of the Kromer heirs for a considerable sum. Two years after | the property had been sold it was consid- | ered wortn several millions, as nearly all | the tide land in the Everett barbor fronted | onit. The most desirable residence and business portion of the city was within the bounds of the old Kromer farm. A Heiresses En Route to Alaska !

When men or women feel depressed or dibilitated at the present day, it is com- mon to say, “I think I have malaria. ‘What is malaria ? Itis only germs that get into the body; germs that thrive and increase unless they are killed ; germs that worm themselves all through the system; germs that ruin the health and under- | mine the life. They are aggressive, they feed upon the body, they must be killed. Many things which have been advocated for killing these germs will not do so. It is known, however, that pure spirits taken in moderation will kill and entirely ex- terminate the worst army of germs which ever invaded the system. They cannot withstand it. Under the influence of pure stimulants the germs are killed, and the body is strengthened to expel them from the body, and thus restore the health. It should not be understood, however, that ail spirits will do this—few will. It requires something specially pure, and specially designed for this purpose, and that is precisely what Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey is. It has the hichest en- dorsements of doctors and scientists. Do not be deceived into the use of any other, | for there is no other preparation upon the market that can_accomplish what 15 _ac- complished by Duffy’s Pure Malt. You | will find that'it is kept by reliable drug- gists and grocers.
