As the | Prank ¥ | nloy result of a protracted spree, jeld, a linotype operator in the of H. 8. Crocker Company, met | death early last night in his .room in | the lodging house at 209 Kearny street Field had occupied the room for several | months and had received as a visitor a | woman known as Margaret Frances Fleld, | who claimed to be his wife. According to the woman's statement the couple had | retired early after imbibing freely of | sherry. The woman upbraided Fie'd for | having Jost a couple of her rings, he elaim, | ing that on Sunday night he was rvobed of the rings and twenty dollars while drunk in a California-street saloon. She threatened to leave him unless he return- ed her jewelry. Field then reached under the pillow for his pistol, the wo- man declares, ¢nd pointing the weapon fired at her. She jumped out of. bed and ran to the door, and as she did so heard another shot. The shooting attract- €d the attention of the landlady. who en- tered the room and found Field dead In bed with a stream of blood flowing from a wound in the forehead. The Coroner was notified and‘ Deputies McCormack and Fiynn were detalled on the case. When they arrived they found the woman in bed in an adjoining room in a hysterical condition and still under the influence of lquor. In a rambling statement the woman told the deputies that she had been liv- | ing with Field at different times for the | past five vears and had frequently quar- relied with him. On Sunday last the couple visited Union Coursing Park and drank freely during the day. Soon after reaching their room a_quarrel ensued and Field threatened to kill her. She left the room and did not return until last night when the quarrel was forgotten over numerous drinks of liquor.

COMMISSION ACQUITS POLICEMAN GALLOWAY Finds That Neuberg’s Charges Were Groundless and Inspired by Revenge. The Police Commissioners last night dis- missed the charge of {ll treating a Chinese prisoner, preferred against Police Officer Galloway by a_Police . Court attorney named Neuberg. It was shown at the trail that the charge was Inspired by Neu- berg in order to be revenged on Galloway for some fancied wrong. ~Neuberg is the individual who engaged in a street fight with ex-Police Commissioner Gunst some time ago and was soundly thrashed. He now threatens to have Chief of Police Sullivan removed from office for not tak- ‘"E.

It was resolved ‘that in'the future any officer_who disobeys the orders of his superfor officers will ‘be summarily dis- missed. Hauser, a saloon-keeper at Larkin street and Willow avenue, was cited to appear before the board at its next meet- ing to show cause why his license should not be revoked. Several days ago the Chief received an anonymous communica- tion complaining of the saloon. —————————— Escaped Leper Caught.

Miller savs that the body was almost cold when he reached it and’ the character of the wound would in- dicate that the man had died instantly. An autopsy showed that the bullet had | ranged upward at an angle of 35 degrees from the right side of the breast to the left, entering the right side of the heart. How the man could fire a_shot into his own body at an angle of 35 degrees up- ward without producing a powder mark on his clothes is one of the circumstance: advanced against the suicide theory. On the person of Wilson was found a letter addressed to Miss Eighth avenue, and a girl with whom he formally kept company. ' This girl, it is d, was sent from the city about three weeks ago.

Cnrtndps are being shipped into Cali- fornia in nail kegs and billed as wire nafls. High-grade cutlery is coming in classed as bolts. These shipments have caused complaints to be made to the freight inspection bureau of the trans- continental roads. The duty of the bu- reau Is to open all packages and inspect the contents to see whether the rallways have been deceived by false classification. As high as 340,000 per month has been earned by the bureau in this city alone by detecting frauds and applying the proper classification to falsely rated goods. Now there is a chance that cer- tain Eastern shippers and also retallers in this State will be arrested under the Interstate commerce law if they can be detected in making false classifications, Recently there have been arrests in the East because of false classifications and one house had to pay a fine of $2000. Here-~ tofore no one has been arrested in this State. An alleged large increase in the frauds in classification has led to the complaints that are now under Investiga- tlon. The Eastern jobber is responsible for most of the work, but the law makes both the shipper and the consignee of nm'e}{r billed freights liable. While the inspection has been quite rigld in San Francisco, Sacramento and Los Angeles, it has been less strict in smaller towns. This has tempted the job- bers of the East to try to work the false classification scheme on a_larger scale than ever in the interfor. The complaints are principally concerning shipments to the Interior towns and cities. Goods that bring the first-class rate of $3 per 100 g:undn to the transportation lines have en billed at fourth-class or commodity A bix senzet may follow the pending Humor, fiction, facts every week In the News.

Hedberg Held Up by a Bold High- wayman on Fillmore Street. C.

Hedberg was leaving the market, | after having closed the gates, when he | was suddenly confronted by an armed robber who ordered him to throw up his hands under penalty of being made a sub- ject for the Coroner.

He wore a_slouch hat and a- dark suit of clothes. His face was hidden behind a white mask “I had just closed the market for the night,” remarked Hedberg when telling the story of the robbery to the police, “and started for my home.
