The injured man | was hurried to the Receiving Hospital, where Dr. R. T. Stratton attended the pa- tient, trephining the skull to relieve the ure on the brain, and in all probabil- | | ity saving the young man’'s life. | Leahy does not know how he sustained | | the injury. When he regained conscious- | ness to-day, he had no recollection of any | | events subsequent to his departure from | a saloon on T y-third avenue, where he had been drinking heavily during the | | evening. y | That Leahy was not crushed to death | | under the wheels of a passing freight | train is remarkable. How long he had | | been lying on the tracks he does not know nor could the police get any information | that would clear up the mystery. There | no evidence, except the injuries them- s, to indicate foul play. What per- sonal effects the young man had were all intact. He missed nothing and does not believe he was struck down for purposes of robbery. Leahy could not say whether he had | been fighting or quarreling during his | wanderings, and the police cannot_ say whether he was clubbed and knocked in- | sensible by some unknown man, who | might have quarreled with him. | The detectives are inclined to believe | that Leahy fell and struck his head on | the railroad tracks, while stumbling along | | the roadway in an intoxicated condition. | That appears to be the correct solution. Leahy’s injuries are on the left side of his head, and he was lying on that side | when the police found his unconscious form. There was a severe scalp wopnd, a gash of at léast five Inches, which might have been caused by striking the sharp edge of the steel railway tracks. Beneath the ugly cut was the fracture, a bad compound and comminuted break in the skull. Leahy regained his senses very slowly. The fact that he did recover his faculties at all is an excellent surgi- cal indication that the operation relieved all of the pressure upon the brain. Leahy's residence is at 1203 Twenty- fourth avenue. ——————— Lots of women will give up, easy jobs and good salaries for the sake of workin, all the rest of their lives for their boar R e and clothes.

BERKELEY, May 12—W. M. Bird, fath- er of seven-year-old Harry Bird, whose disappearance and recovery were marked by peculiar circumstances, has appealed to District Attorney Allen for a thor- ough official investigation of the conduct of Mrs. J. J. Rose, neighbor of the Birds, who kept the child four days without teil- ing the distracted parents where he was h:dden. This occurred in the face of the fact that the Birds reside directly across_the street from the Rose dwelling. Mr. Bird is up in arms because of Mrs. Rose's story of persecution to the child, who, she as- serted, had run away from home becausa of ill treatment. The angry father has not only enlisted the aid of the legal depar:- ment of the county, but he has retained private counsel to go into the case. The parent insists he will run to the last thread every circumstance surround- ing the affair, with particular reference ;{) the actions of Dr. W. Allen and of Mrs. ose. Bird to-night prepared, under the advice of his attorneys, a written statement, which is as follows: Mr. Bird has submitted the circumstances to a vrominent Arm of Oakland attorneys and now they are considering the advisability of submitting the case to the next Grand Jury or of immedliately proceeding against all the parties who were responsible for the kidnap- ing of the Bird child. Dr. Allen's position in the matter is puzzling the Birds and Marshal Kerns of Berkeley very much. On Friday morning Dr. Allen telephoned Marshal Kerns that he knew where the, chiid could be found, but on Sunday morning, when Kerns brought the doctor out of his bed and demanded of Allen the whereabouts of young B:d, the doc- tor flatly refused to give any information. Walter Bird has been connected for many years with the Southern Pacific headquarters in San Francisco. Many of his influential friends connected with the company have offered him all the assistance in their power to urravel the mystery surrounding the abduc- tion of his boy. Dr. W. Allen sald: “‘My connection with this matter is simply that I was requested as a member of the school board to make an investigation to ascertaln why the child was not attending school. I learned that the boy was in the hands of Mrs. Rose, who was taking care of the little fel- fow. He had told her he did not dare to 0 home because he would be beaten to eath. “] discovered sufficlent evidence to con- vince me that the boy had been misused. ‘When the father and the marshal came to mK residence I told them I didn’t know where the boy was, and that is a fact. I bad supposed that the Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Children'had taken him, pending an investigation.” ter: tenor solo, Edwin | AUGHT BENEAT N AUTOMOBILE Erik Lindblom Meets With an Exciting Accident. Nome Mining King and Three of His Friends Are Injured. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, May 12. By the upsetting of an automobile run- ning at full speed Erik O. Lindblom, the Nome mining king, was seriously injured this afternoon at the corner of Telegraph avenue and Stuart street, Berkeley. Lindblom was operating the machine when it capsized, throwing him and three ccmpanions headlong into the street and turning on top of them. To add to the serlousness of the accident, the machine caught fire and threatened to cremate the | imprisoned men, until, happily, an em- | ploye of an automobile agency happened along and extinguished the flames, at the | same time stopping the machinery that was whirring at top speed. i The four men were dragzed from vnder the auto and sent to Lindblom’s residence at Farker and Hillegass streets, Berkeley, | where they were given such medical at- | tention as the injuries required. Lind- blom was seriously cut and bruised about | the head and face. He was ordered to bed and the house attendants refused to | allow him to be seen. They declined to ! glve the identity of Lindblom’s compan- | ions, asserting that they were only casual acquaintances, whose names the injured chaffeur did not know. The machine was a_total wreck, belng smashed beyond repair, judging from its ! appearance as it lay in the ditch at the street crossing. The primary_cause of the accident was a gust of wind that blew Lindblom’s hat off while he was racing down Telegraph avenue against an electric car. e auto was running at a very high speed. When the hat sailed off Lindblom started to turn about to go after his headgear. Without | slacking the speed of the machine he | twisted it around. The forward wheels struck the street car tracks on an angle and over went the machine and the occu- pants_into the street. Lindblom's companions were not so badly hurt as he was, but all four were | shaken up and are much the worse for the experience. Themes of the Pastors. OAKLAND, May 12. — Rev.

Several witnesses ~were brought from 3an Rafael to testify for the heirs, and they all swore that Senator Fair was in San Rafael on the day men- tioned. When asked as to why they so positively recollected the exact day, they all fixed it by the fact that Gilligan, who was then a hack owner, drove in that day with his hack from Petaluma. “Gilligan's hack” formed a subject for comment by the attorneys on both sides during their arguments.

In accordance with the wishes of the family the services were | as simple as possible. There were no pall- beavers and the words of prayer and eu- logy from the lips of Rev. J. K. McLean were few, though very Impressive. Dr.! McLean first read the Congregational | funeral service and followed it with a | brief sketeh of the life of the -leceased, reviewing his association with him and telling of the high esteem In which he | was held for many noble acts. | The rooms of the Boalt home were filied with a mass of floral pieges, tokens from hundreds of friends.

Among the | many friends of the deceased lawyer present, including a number of the most prominent attorneys of the California bar; were his former associates, Judge John Garber and Charles L.

The oldest of these were Emil and Marls Rousset. who had grown up with the fam- ily, having entered it while they were yet in their teens.

Popular Club and Busi- ness Man Victim of Pneumonia. Passes Away After an Ill- ness Lasting Only Five Days. niisiia Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, May 12. A. P. Brayton Jr., manager of the Pel- ton Water Wheel Company of San Fran- cisco, prominent in the industrial affairs of the State, a leader in Oakland social angd club life, a stanch friend, genial and warq-hearted. passed away to-night at 6:40 o'clock at his residence, 1167 Jackson street, after an illness of only five days. He was attacked by pneumonia. The shock occasioned by the announce- ment of the death of the young business man was most profound. The suddenness of the untimely call added to the distress which will fill many hearts when the wide circle of friends learns the sad tidings. Taken ill last Tuesday, Mr. Brayton be- came steadily worse. Dr. A. Liliencrantz was summoned, and all of the skill that medical science could command was ex- Last night the patient was so much feebler that Dr. P. L. Wheeler was | called into consultation. In many respects Mr. Brayton had a re- markable career. He was the son of A. P. Brayton, one of the founders of the Pacific Iron Works of San Francisco. The young man was born in Oakland thirty- four years ago. He was educated in the public schools of this mié and at a pri- vate institution in the East. With an hereditary tendency, the youth decided to become ‘a mechanic and entered his father’'s machine shops as an apprentice, serving his time at forge and lathe until | he was graduated as a skilled journey- | man. This experience stood him in good hand. With his_father and brother he took hold of the Pelton water wheel, a de- vice which by his own well directed tech- nical and commercial skill he developed | as one of the great mechanical inventions of the day. After securin starting preliminaries Mr. Brayton placed the wheel on the market, and it is now known throughout the world. On_the social side his successes were as notable. A patron of the clubs, he ranked among the most popular men whose faces are familiar at the Bohemian Club across the bay and among the Athenians in Oakland. His standing here is attested by the fact that he was a president of the Athenian Club, and his administration was one of note. To intimates he was Bert Brayton, a splendid companion and & true friend. There will be many who will miss his frank and pleasant personality and many will sincerely mourn with the bereaved parents and brother. The family is one of the oldest in this county. An uncle was the head of the Brayton school, which was the forerunner of the University of California. Mr. Bray- ton was unmarried. His brother is E. L. Brayton. He was affiliated with the Ma- sonic fraternity. The funeral arrange- ments have not been completed. HOTEL ARRIVALS. GRAND HOTEL.
