SEEKS DAMAGES FOR HER HUSBAND’S DEATH OAKLAND, July 12.—Mrs. Helen K. Bladt has filed suit in the Superior Court against the Southern Pacific Company for the recovery of $20,000 damages claimed to have been sustained by reason of the death of her husband, Christlan P. Bladt, who was struck by a locomotive near San Lorenzo last July. According to her complaint the accident occurred about 2 o'clock in the morning 8s the deceased was driving from San Lorenzo toward Oakland. The wife al- léges that after the accident occurred the rallway employes, knowing that Bladt was unconsclous, left him lying on the highway without summoning proper med- ical atfendance or giving any assistance. The accident and subsequent death s al- leged to have been due to the gross care- lessness of the crew operating the train. ———————————— A Correction. HAYWARDS, July 9, 189.

ROASTED TO A CRISP IN A HAYRICK FIRE E OF AN UNKNOWN N unknown man was roasted to death early yesterday morning in a hayrick fire on the Pledmont grounds. The fire was of his own making, and from the material evidences was caused by the firing of a pistol In the hand of deceased. The haystack comtained about twenty tons of hay. all of which was consumed about the body of the unknown, burn- ing him to an irrecognizable crisp. The flames. whicli lighted up the heavens for miles around. were first no- ticed by Deputy Sheriff Hitchcock, who was making his rounds on horseback, ticing that a human being was perched on one end of - the straw pile, he thought the hay belonged. Together with Irwin he returned to the sizzling lected from the neighboring residences, attempted to cut short the mad career of the devouring flames, They then saw the body of a man in the very midst of the flames on one corner of the stack. Hope for the unfortunate was at this The pile of hay was burned to the ground. Tn the ashes were found a scorched pistol, the frame of a pocketbook, a knife of good manufacture, a bunch of four keys and pleces of a stone liquor jug. Two of the cartridges in the cylinder of the pistol showed the indentation of the hammer, and it is pre- sumed that they were fired with a suicidal intent. Three shots were heard just before the fire was discovered. Miss Booth, the daughter of B. L. Booth, who resides a few hundred vards from the location of the stack, heard three dis. tinct pistol shots, followed by the sound of crackling flames. All the cart- ridges were exploded. but there are hammer marks’on but two of them. The body of the deceased was so completely destroyed that it was impossi- ble to afscover whether or not any of the pistol shots had been effective in producing death. The hay was the pronerty of the Realty ‘Syndicate. The - gereral presumption is that tiie unidentified climbed up the rick, set fire to it with suicidal intent and then, to make assurance doubly sure, turned his pis- tol upon himself. -0-0-90-900-0-0-0-0-90-0000-0-0— 0000000090 0-0-0-0-0-00-00-00000 090 6060600900 06-060060600 @ —0—0—0—0 by a Mr. Podesta, on Franklin street, be- | | YOUNG LADY KNOCKS QUT RECTOR'S PLAY Miss Brunker Is Not Seeking Favors.
