Kennealy of 544 Bryant street yesterday morning. The lat-| ter was arrested and charged with man- slaughter, but was released on his own recognizance soon after belng taken to | the Central station by Judge Mogan. The squabble which resulted in the death of the old man occurred at 10:40 in the morning, near the corner of Third and Brannan streets. There were many people in the vicinity, but the affair oc- curred so suddenly that the first intima- tion any one had of the catastrophe was when they saw Quane lying on the side- | walk and Kennealy bending over him. Fven then it was not thought that t old man was serlously injured. A crowd quickly gathered.and in answer to questions put by Officer James O'Con- | G KENNEALY- ™ nor, who was among the first to arrive, Kennealy said that Quane had been hurt by’ falling on the sidewalk while squab- bling with him, .Quane's son, James, ar rived about this time and the old man was | The | removed to his home in a hotel bus. officer and most of the civilians present seethed to think that the injured man was suffering more from the effects of liquor than from physical harm and no attempt was made to detain Kennealy. As he started away he said to the of- ficer, “You-know where you can find me | when- you want me. Dr. A. T. Dickson of 9% Bryant street was summoned to attend Quane as soon as he had been removed to his home and a brief examination only was neces: | sary to show that the patient was beyond medical aid. Quane died at 12:30 p. m. The police and thie Coroner were at once notified and the body was removed to the Morgue. Officer O'Connor was ordered to arrest Kennealy.. He found the Assem- blyman at the Palace Hotel at 1:30 p.m. and took him into custody. Kennealy was greatly surprised when informed that the man with whom he had quar- reled was dead, and he sfrenuously de- nied that he had knocked him down. His version of the affair is as follows: T left my house at 544 Bryant street at 10:3 &. m. to go to my barn on Brannan When near the corner of Bran- | pan, on Third, I met Quane, who was leading two greyhounds.' [ asked him | when he .was going to pay me a bill | which I had sent him for the storage of | two wagons, but which he had paid no | attention to.

He swore Would pay nothing and acted in such a | manner that I thought he had been drink- | ing. He started toward me and 1 told him to keep awag, as 1 did not want any trouble with him. At that he drew back his foot to kick me and I put out my left hand and pushed him away. As I did so Quane's hounds ran_ between us and | Fe tripped over them and fell to the side- | walk. He struck on the back of his head and was rendered unconscious. 1 propped him up against the building and then ran to McGaffegan’s saloon, at the corner of Brannan and Third, where 1 got some whisky and a wet towel with which I tried to revive him. He did not seem to be badly hurt, and with the help of sev- eral men who had arrived I placed him in a Hackmeier Hotel bus, which was | passing, and sent him Home. 'Then I came | down town. I did not strike him. T hore | him no ill will and had no thought of do- ing him an injury. We had turned into Brannan street while the quarrel was go- ing on and he fell about twenty feet from the corner.” Kennealy was taken to Chief office in the City Hall, where he was charged with manslaughter. He made a sworn statement of the affair, substan- tially as given here. He appeared very | on the corner, where he procured a bot- | of the liouor Lawson, much. affected by Quane's death and geemed completely unnerved by the tragic consequences of the quarrel. Kenn sent for Attorney Ach as soon as he was arrested, and the latter soon appeared at | the City Hall, accompanied by Judge Mo- | gan, who released the prisoner on his own | recognizance within an hour after his ar- Test. The Quane residence is within of where the quarrel occurred. The old | man and . his li-year-old son Thomas | started from the house at 10:30 to exercise | the dogs. The boy was leading one of the dogs by a strap and his father had the other two. They walked through a little alley leading from the rear of the house to Third street. and had just emerged on to the main thoroughfare when they met Kennealy. As the elder Quane stopped to talk with the Assemblyman the boy con- tinued on his way up Third street, cross- ing to the other side of Brannan street. As he stepped on the curb he noticed the drivers of passing rigs looking back, and turning he _saw his father lying on the sldewalk. He ran back and secured the dogs _and hurried home. He burst into the house with the announcement that “Charlle Kennealy knocked father down on Third street,”” and promptly disap- peared, not to be found again for a couple a block | I'h ing November and December will thén be distributed.

Among members who responded to toasts .were: Andrew Carrigan, A. C. Rulofson, George Boole of | Los Angeles and O. G. Sage of Sacra- mento. _ The salesmen who responded were: Messrs. Best, McVeagh and Hall, from the Arizona district; Messrs Joseph, Espey and Brumbaugh of the Oregon and W hington ' districts, and Messrs Griss- man, Clark and Heath of the California district. ‘The committee of arrangements was composed of Mes Tay, Carrigan and Scott. The elaborate menu and hand- some decorations attested the fact that the committee was well chosen.

Quane protested and stepped toward his antag- | onist. At the time he had the guard lines of two dogs in his hands. Without the least warning, Lawson says, Ken- | nealy struck him in the mouth.
