Wahl-| | stadt, the 3-year-old child of Peter P. | Wahistadt, residing on Alcatraz avenue, near Telegraph avenue, is the latest vic-| | tim to swell the list of those whose lives have been sacrificed through the stub- bornness of a street railway company in refusing to_equip its cars with life-saving fenders. Shortly after 6:30 o'clock this! afternoon the child was run over and killed by a car of the Alcatraz-avenue | branch of the Tele; ni:h-avenue electric road, running to Lorin station. The mangied little body was found between the rails on Alcatraz avenue, near Shat- tuck, by Motorman C. J. Anderson, who had charge of the car, on his return trip from Lorin, and he presumes that the little one was struck on the previous up trip, but he claims to be at a loss to Played Traitor to Her Dying Mother. o B Snan an o T o A A 4 Oakland Office San Francisco Call,| 908 Broadway, Aug. 29, Mrs. Rosa Madden, 17 years old, has been deserted by the young husband who owes to her his liberty.

MORRIS. | \ ALAMEDA, Aug. 20—A warrant was issued this morning for the arrest Frederick C of aves of Napa on a charge of battery. Cleaves beat his father-in- | law, Rev. George Morris, last evening at the latter’s home, 631 Rallroad avenue. | Mr. Morris is an old man and was the first pastor of the Congregational church | of this city. | Cleaves, it appears, has not been sup- | | porting his family, consisting of his wife | | and four children, for more than a year. | By an understanding between himself and | his wife, Cleaves came to Alameda yes- | terdey evening for the purpose of getting | his children and taking them to their | grandfather's “ranch, near Napa. He| called at the residence of Mr. Morris yes- terday and asked for his children. His request was complied with, and he then | demanded to be allowed to see his wife, | but Mrs. Cleaves had expressed a desire not to see her husband. He attempted to force his way to her room, but her| father shut the door and locked it. | Cleaves broke the door open and in his rage struck his aged father-in-law sev- eral blows about the face, breaking his eve glasses and blackening his eyes. Mr. Morrjs’ face was also badly bruised. Bert Morrls, a son, happened to come into the | house at this time and interfered in his father's behalf. Cleaves then left, takin the children with him. He seemed muc amused over what he had done, and laughed as he walked out of the yard. This morning Mr. Morris appeared before City Recorder St. Sure and swore to a complaint charging Cleaves with battery. A warrant was issued and given to Con- stable Wahmuth to seryve. Cleaves had already disappeared, and it is presumed went to Napa. Cleaves is a prominent worker in the Christian Endeavorers and Boys' Brigade. He was formerly captain of one of the Brigade companies, and part in religious work in nd and Berkeley, and his considered” b nd _ re- married Miss Kate Mor- | years ago. He was a good pro- | hi family until about tgree years ag hen, it is said, the majority of his salary found Its way into the book- makers’ hands at the racetrack. Several | months ago the Sheriff took possession of the furniture and househeld goods to sat- isfy a judgment of a San Francisco furni- ture house. Mrs Cleaves was leff in desti- tute circumstances and was compelled i g0 with her children to her father, who was_then living at Santa Cataline. Later on Cleaves wrote to his wife that he had secured a judgment against the furniture house and had been awarded $700 dam- ages, but as he failed to send her any of the money to return to hi anyway to provide for his children, M; Cleaves wrote to her husband and tol him he would either have to provide for the chil- | dren or take them and care for them| himself. He consented to take the chil- dren, and Mrs. Cleaves came to Alameda to_turn the children over to her husband. Rev.
