SAN LUIS OBISPO, Oct. ‘The death of Judge George Steele, which occurred at his home this morning, was a shock to the community. He was a member of the well-known family of that name, many members of which have been prom- inent in the State’s history. Judge Stecle’s death was occasioned by blood poisoning, which he contracted from a sick horse. He was in San Luis Obispo Wednesday last and was seemingly as hale and hearty as possible for a man of his years. Shortly after he returned home he remarked that he dfd not feel well. On Friday a physician was sum- moned, but the Judge gradually sank. There were few men better-known in the county than Judge Steele. sHe was about 76 years of age.

Sloper Is at Variance With Accounts Given by the Child’s Mother and Others P SR N R KIAH, Oct. 22.—William H. Lowe, the alleged kidnaper of little Harold C. Sloper, is still in jail here, no bail having been sup- plied. There appears to be quite a difference in the stories)told by Lowe and Mrs. Sloper, Sheriff Grace and others. Mrs. Sloper says her baby .was in his buggy, with her and her friends, when Lowe first approached. He wanted to shake hands with the child, who was eat- ing some popcorn. Then he asked for some of the popcorn, and after the young- ster had given him some Lowe walked away. Soon he returred and finding the baby out of the buggy picked him up and walked off down the platform. Returning he passed the mother, the child in his arms and then disappeared in the crowd. About that time the train began to move and Mrs. Slover learned that the man had taken her child aboard. It is claimed that Lowe had no reason to believe the child’s mother was on the train, as he had just passed her on the outskirts of the crowd and ne?i‘ the buggy beside which he had picked 1 the child. Passengers on the train dehy that he tried to find the parents, as he avows, but say he placed the boy beside him in a car and fed him on candy when he grew restless. Lowe could have gone through [ EE= LS AND TIES REACH SUNSET New Road Penetrating the Oil District Is Completed. Special Dispatch to The Call. BAKERSFIELD, Oct. 22.—So far as the laying of the rails and ties is concerned the Sunset Railroad, from Gosford to the town of Sunset, is completed. However, many days will elapse before the trains will be run on regular trips, as the work of leveling and filling in is yet to be done. The schedule for the trains has not as yet been arranged, but President C. N. Beal said that an extra train probably would be run over the line until the traffic war- rants the operating of passenger and freight trains separately. The completion of the road has done away with the uncertainty in which the Sunset district has been enveloped, and it is said that extensive development work will soon be commenced by new oil companies and operations resumed by those already in the field. Oil men who have made a study of the situation assert that the Sunset district is in the future to be prominent in the oil industry of California. CHILD’S PRECOCITY MAY RESULT IN HIS DEATH Heats Water in a Tightly Corked Can and Is Badly Scalded by Explosion. REDDING, Oct. 22.—Because he was of an inquiring turn of mind 9-year-old Her- man Beshaw of Quartz Hill is in a pre- carious condition and death may relieve his sufferings. The youngster asked the head of a neighboring family how steam was made. The man, who was a miner, entered into an explanation, and, to ad- just it to the boy's mind, told Herman that if he placed a”coal oil can full of water over a fire and allowed no oppor- tunity for the steam to escape it would burst the can. At the same time he warned the youngster against trying the | experiment. Mr. and Mrs. Beshaw paid a visit to Keswick yesterday. Their boy and a young son of Mr. and Mrs. John Kemble, 2 neighboring family, proceeded to try the steam experiment. Herman Beshaw procured a syrup can, filled it with water, corked it up tightly and placed it over a fire they,built on the ground. The ex- pected explosion occurred, but earlier than the youngsters expected. Steam and hot water struck Herman on the face, chest and arms, scalding him frightfully. The other lad escaped with slight scalds on the face. Little Herman's recovery is doubtful. Thrown From Her Carriage. CORTE MADERA, Oct. 22.—Mrs. G. B. Smith and her son Arthur of Corte Ma- dera, Miss N. A. Hewson of St. Paul and Mrs. H, Ricketson of 114 Hyde street, San Francisco, engaged a team here on Sunday to drive to Ross station. While at the top of a steep hill'near Escalle sta- tion their horses balked and the carriage was overturned. Each member of the party was more or less bruised, but none were seriously injured except Miss Hew- son, who is still confined to her bed as a result of the accident.

Special Dispatch to The Call. CORONA, Oct. 22.—The old experiment of pouring coal oil into a cookstove to revive a fire caused the horrible death of Mrs. Frederick Noble and hér two- year-old daughter here to-night. Shortly before 6 o’clock Mrs. Noble, who wished to prepare the evening meal, at- tempted to restore a fire that had burned | in the stove by peuring oil upon the em- bers. An explosion followed and the burn- | ing oil was cast in a shower upon her | and her little daughter, who was playing | on the floor near the stove. Before others | of the household could extinguish tae | flames the two were frightfully burned. The babe lingered scarcely more than | an hour and the mother passed away at 9:20 o’clock. Both suffered torture before death relieved them. As a result of the tragedy Mr. Noble, the husband and father, may lose his reason. Grief appears to have temporar- ily unbalanced his mind.

L [NEW BUILDING FIR STARFORD Engineering Laboratory to Be Constructed b at Once. b Fifty Thousand Dollars Will Be Expended Upon the Structure. —_— Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct. 22.— As was expected, Mrs. Stanford's arrival | at the university has stimulated action here along the line of the construction of buildings. Before she had been in the campus twenty-four hours she had au- thorized the immediate construction and equipment of an engineering laboratory at a cost of $50,000. The new laboratory is to be a large one- story fireproof structure, 235x60 feet in dimensions, and probably will be located just west of the present civil engineering building, on the site originally intended for the chemistry department. The west- erly half of the new edifice is to house the steam engineering laboratory of the me- chanical engineering department, while the quarters for the experimental work of the electrical engineering gstudents will occupy the remainder. As soon as the present civil engineering building can be vacated it will be remod- eled into a perfectly equipped laboratory for the testing of materials, and the me- chanical engireering quarters will under- go a similar change, being converted into a machine shop fited with all the modern improvements. Recitation and draught- ing rooms for engineering students will be installed on the inner quadrangle as soon as those now occupied by the chem- istry and some cther departments are va- | cated. buildings being now under can- struction for these latter departments. Architect Charles E. Hodges is draw- ing up plans for the engineering labora- tory and ground will be broken prepara- tery to. its construction as soon as they are submitted and approved. It is Mrs. Stanford’s intention to have work on the structure rushed. The building will be completed within four, or five months and will be equipped and Teady for use as a | laboratory with the beginning af the col- lege vear next September. Orders will be placed for the necessary equipments im- | does not | mediately. The sum of $50,0 represent the total amount that will be expended on the laboratory; more will be spent as soon as it is placed in a condi- tlon to justify the expenditure. It is also learned that work will soon be started on the buildings and arcades that are to complete the second or outer | quadrangle. Mrs. Stanford intends that the view of the memorial church shall be obstructed as little as possible; accord- ingly, there will be no buildings directly back of the church. That part of the quadrangle will be composed of arcades which will overiook the beautiful gardens and grounds that will flank the edifice on three sides. Work on the church itself will be hurried.
