At the hour named the unfortunate child was romping in the street with two companions about his own age. A heavy truck, owned by Me- Nab & Smith and driven by Frank J. Wagner, passed along and in some manner the little fellow got under the wheels. The driver claims that he knew nothing of the accident untfl a bystander shouted to him that he had killed a boy. The mother of the lad rushed into the street, picked up the mangled body and rushed to a drug store twd blocks away. As she ran, all the while screaming loudly, the warm blood of the infant spattered in her face and saturated her clothes. When the doctor who was hastily summoned arrived the child was dead, and the Coroner's deputies were summoned. 'The father of the boy, who is also an employe of McNab & Smith, arrived at his home after the body had been taken away, and together with his wife he followed it to the Morgue. At the Morgue occurred the most pathetic incident of the tragedy. Both pa- rents wete overwhelmed with grief, and Deputy Smith turned silently away while they viewed the remains. The father walkca 1o the slab on which the mangled body of his little son lay, and, raising the limp form in his arms, attempted to take it from the Morgue by force and carry it to his desolate home. After much kind remon- strance on the part of Deputy Thomas Smith he was dissuaded and left the place with his heartbroken wife. A little girl of 5 years is the only surviving child in the family. She sobbed herself to sleep last night In her father's arms, as she asked him if it were true that her baby brother had gone forever. Shortly after the little fellow's death Wagner was arrested and charged with manslaughter. He was subsequently released on bail. Remains of the Late Edward T.

BARBARY COAST HAS COMMENCED Saloons and Arrest Many Women. General Terror Prevails Among the Denizens of Resorts and Es- capes Are Made in All Directions. —— The police made their first move in| cleaning out the disreputable resorts on | Barbary Coast last night. About 10 o'clock raids were made on all the sa- loons, under the directlon of Sergeant Christianson and Officer Thomas W. Handley, and a number of the women taken to the California-street police sta- tion. The officers commenced their work in the Knickerbocker saloon, on Kearnv street, and passed down the line. They and other saloons and placed every wo- man found in the places under arrest. After word had passed ahead of the of- ficers that a rald was on there was a general stampede of women from the Coast. They rushed in all directions, and when the police arrived at many of the places they had been vacated. All the women arresteu were charged with va- | grancy. 1 e HIT WITH A SANDBAG AND KNOCKED SENSELESS| Samuel F. Beamish, a Shoemaker, | Robbed While Nearing His | Home on Birch Avenue. | Samuel F. Beamish, a shoemaker living at 64 Birch avenue, was on his way | home about 1 o'clock Saturday morning, and when within a few yards of his house | he was hit on the head with a sandbag and knocked senseless. A milkman saw him stretched out on the sidewalk about | an hour later and succeeded in bringing | him back to consciousness. He had been | robbed of between $23 and $25. The cow- ardly ruffian had kicked him in the face while he was senseless on the ground. Beamish was drinking in some of the corner groceries in the neighborhood and foollshli displayed his 5? It is sup- | posed that the sight of the gold aroused the cupidity of some one who saw him | and he was followed and robbed. The | robbery was reported to the police, but as Beamish did not see the robber there is small chance of any arrest being made. | —————— KNOCKED OFF A CAR. | | Nicholas Calachse, a Cu:dy ‘Vender, Meets With a Serious Accident.
