William Little, aged 29 years and sup- posed to be a seal hunter lately from Vie- torfa, B. C., is Oakland’s latest mystery. The police .authorities and the Commis- sioners of Lunacy are considerably puz- zled over the stranger, and the bellef prevails among some that the young man is wanted in British Columbia for some crime which in his efforts to hide has un- hinged his mind. Little's advent into this city became known last night when he was found prowling about the buildings in the rall- road yards at the foot of Peralta street. He was apparently searching for some- thing with the aid of two lanterns he had helped himself to. Night Watchman T Brown, observing the stranger, ap- proached him and inquired what he was after. Apparently taken by surprise, Lit- tle answered: ‘‘Don’t you see them? Don't you hear them groaning? I fixed them plenty Brown immediately summoned the po- lice and had the trespasser taken to the receiving hospital for insane. At the hos- pital the young man, after being informed of his arrest and giving his name, age and occupation, refused to divulge any other facts that might lead to his identity or antecedents. Later he became who he sald was a sea lion which must be killed. It was necessary to strap him down. When eamined this afternoon by Drs. W. F. B. Wakefield and A. H. Pratt noth- ing In the way of information could be drawn out of him except an intimation %hfl!hhe has a brother in an asylum in Jtah. His pockets were searched, and in them was found a bankbook showing a deposit of $75 in the Victoria branch of the Bank of ~British Columbia, also_two baggage checks stamped by the Pacific Coast Steamship Company. In his purse he had $5 15, also some English coins and a bogus dollar. He was fairly well dressed and carried a Waltham gold watch with plain chain.

ALMOST ENDED IN A 5 OAKLAND, Aug. 4—A cold-blooded | murder was narrowly averted at the cigar store of Henry C. Poole, corner of Sev- enth and Pine streets, early this evening. As it is, 8. J. Drew, a brakeman in the | employ of the Southern Pacific Com- pany, is lying at his home, 883 Bay street, where a physician is treating him for nu- merous ugly wounds inflicted with a large pocket knife. His assailant, Wm. Connelly, aged 20 vears, is booked at the City Prison for an assault with a deadly weapon. Dennis Connelly, a brother one year younger, over whom the trouble arose, is also a prisoner, charged with disturbing the peace. Bad. blood has existed between the younger Connelly and Drew for some | time. When they met this evening in West Oakland the former addressed a vile epithet to the brakeman. The latter re- sented and a mix-up followed in which Connelly s felled to the ground.

FOND HUSBAND HIT HER WITH A SPADE OAKLAND, Aug. 4—Bloodshed marked the latest chapter In the matrimonial troubles of Mr. and Mrs. J. Hays at their home on Second street to-day. Margaret Hays, who is a corpulent person of 52 ears, presented herself at the Receiving ilosphal this afternoon to be treated for an ugly though not serious incised wound on the right side of her head. When asked by Steward Borchert in what man- ner the wound, from which blood flowed copiously, had been inflicted the injured Wife replied: I was hit with a spade by my fond husband, who is a native of Dunne Gall, near the County of Mayo, Ireland; but he'll be sorry yet.” The pa- tient vigorously objected to having the wound stitched with the physician's needle, which she termed a *‘bogie in- strument.” The wound was therefore given simply an antiseptic dressing, tapped off with a coat of healing powder, wI:lpch gave it the appearance of high- shortcake, as the stew- ard facetiously put it. Mrs. Hays’' hus- band, it is understood, took offense at the remark made by his wife that “he didn’t come from her town.” priced strawberry COLD-BLOODED MURDER | another inflicted a wound | the | | | | | | a| | valuable lots on | to wit, violent | and made an attack on Steward Borchert, | THROUGH FRALD MD DECEIT SH LOST HER LOTS Berkeley WomanSays She Was Bunkoed. e Oakland Office San Francisco Cal 908 Broadway, Aug. 4. If the charges of fraud and deception alleged by Marie B. Samouillet in a rather sensational complaint filed in,the Superior Court this afternoon are true, she has been victimized out of her property in Berkeley in a manner that has few equals. The suit is directed against Thomas F. Gregory and Patrick J. Marron, though the Pacific States Savings, Loan and Building Company and several others of fictitious names are joined as defendants. According to Mrs. Samouillet's com= plaint, prepared by Attorneys Whitworth and_Shurtleff of San Francisco, plaintft on July 11 last was the owner of three Addison street, near Milvia, Berkeiey, together with the tene- ments and hereditaments thereunto be- longing. “On the said last named date,” recites the complaint, ntiff was by the above named ants.

Continuing, thé complaint recites that on the same day plaintiff was induced by defendants to sign, acknowledge and de- liver to them a deed to the properiy. with the understanding that they would forth- with pay her $500 and delliver to her tha $3000 promissory note, together with a first mortgage. After paving plaintiff but $400 defendants had the deed recorded and have since fraudulently and falsely rep- resented to the public, so says the com- plaint, and to persons to whom they have tried to sell that they owned the threa lots. Plaintiff alleges further that the Pacific States Savings and Loan Company, now asserts some claim to the property. Mrs. Samouillet asks that the court de- prop= 00 in and ad- | cTee that the conveyance was obtained For | by fraud and deceit and that ownership a | be restored to her, or that defendants be o | ordered to pay her the balance as origin- ally agreed upon. THRASHED THE fiAN WHO HAD INSULTED HER RUSSELL PARISER LEARNS A LESSON ON GARRULITY. ALAMEDA, Aug. 4—Russell Pariser, a young man employed by the Southern Pa- cific Company, was thrashed on Park street last night by Florence Smith, a girl well known about the city. Sergeant Kamp of the police force looked on while the beating was being administered but made no effort to protect the youth who had been made the object of Miss Smith's wrath. Pariser, whose home is on Central ave= nue, near Oak street, assoclates with a crowd of youthful sports who congregate nightly in front of the cigar stores cn Park street and have made a practice of applying insulting remarks to ladies or young girls who happened to pass them. Several evenings ago the Smith girl ac- costed Pariser and a companion with whom she happened to be acquainted. ..he said something to the companion that did not suit Pariser’s fancy, and he told the girl to “‘shut up her mouth.” She retorted by telling him that she would “smash his face' as soon as the opportunity present- ed itself. Pariser told her that Mrs. Pres- catt, agent of the Society for the Suppres- sion of Vice, was looking for her. This riled the young woman, and she pro- ceeded to carry out her threat to smash faces 1he§ and then, but Pariser made his escape. e kept off Park again appeared at his usual haunts. {ss Smith was on the lookout for him She met Sergeant Kamp on the street and complained to him that Pariser had in- sulted her. Kamp stepped up to the young man to caution him against such action in_the future under penalty of arrest While he was talking to him Miss Smith walked up and, with the remark, “You dirty pup!” hit Pariser over the right eve with her clinched fist. The blow was a stinging one and dazed the young man. Before he recovered from the shock he re- | ceived another whack on the side of his face. The second blow was evidently mo painful than the first, for Pariser: began to cry, and begged the policeman to pro- tect him. The officer seemed to enjoy the fun, and did not interfere, and Pariser fled into a nearby cigar store to escape Miss s‘a“'}:hls wrath. ¢ & e young sports who congregate o Park street at Mght Bave beon & source of much annoyance, and Miss Smith's action in taking the law into her own hands has been commended. The police are falling in for a deal of criticism in making no attempt to reprimand the ‘“‘statues.” —_——e—— ‘Will Sell the Yacht Whirlwind.
