N S ey VANCOUVER, B. C., Oct. 8.—A remark- | able development has occurred in the | case of the murderer, Fournier, at Daw- | ! son. The body of the fourth victim re- | cently discovered near Eagle City was | not Gilbert Dufour, but Achille Guilbault, well known to several French-Canadians | in Vancouver. Guilbault of Quebec left Vancouver in | April for Dawson. Late in July, it is| { claimed, he stole $1500 worth of gold dust |from his two partpers. Jules Lefebere | and Edouard Cartier, and two days after leaving Dawson he fell in with Fournier |'and Labelle, who had already committed { two murders on the river and were start- |ing for the outside to avoid detection. | The absconding miner, according to La- | belle’s confession, was killed, his body | | sunk in the river by a heavy weight or| stones and his money taken by Fournier. | The name of Guilbault was never men- | tioned in the celebrated Yukon murder | case until yesterday at Dawson. When | | the body was found ten days ago just | above Eagle City, friends of a miner named Gilbert Dufour, who had dropped | out of sight, thought that the body was |his, and imdictments were prepared against the two prisoners for the murder of Dufour. But on Mcnday Dufour turned up in the Dawson court. Another examination of the body was made and yesterday two miners made certain iden- tification that it was that of Guilbauit. Fournier is being tried first, the confs sions of Labelle being the principal evi- dence against him. It is likely if Four- nier is convicted Labelle will be given a nominal sentence, for he turned King's evidence. [ ] TEAGRER MAY BE DISAHGSED Miss A. E. Little Must Explain to Board of | Edueation. | The Board of Education yesterday cited | Miss E. E. Little to appear before it next { Vednesday morning to show cause why | she should not be dismissed for insubor- dination. A formally worded resolution, | aGopted by the board, recites that Miss | Little failed to report for duty at the 1 Horace Xann Gza.mm?r School after hav- ! ing been duly assigned thereto. The 1esignation of Mrs. Charlatiz Mec- Ginnis as a teacher in the department was accepted. The board approved the plans for the | new twelve-rcom schoolhouse for- Noe Valley and an addition of six rooms to the Sherman School. ‘ The Board of Public Works was re- { | | quested to prepare plans, specifications and estimates of cost for an eight-class | school building on the school lot on! Dwenty-fourth avenue, between Point | Lobos avenue and A street, to replace the Bergerot School; also for a two-class school building on the school lot situated on Foriy-second avenue, between 1 and | 3 streets, In the “Carville” district. Director Woodward presented report | of general repairs and painting done on | schoolhouses during August. The report says that “the employes being civil ser- | | vice men, the character of the work is in marked confrast to that of the old- | | time political boards and it also exempli- | | fies the advantages of consclentious day's i labor over slipshod contracts.” | A delegation from the German-Ameri- | can League of California and the Allied | | French Societies appeared before. the | board in support of a petition to establish | the studies of French and German on a better and permanent basis in the public schools. P. A. Bergerot, Dr. F. Kuckein, | E. A. Denicke, Bupervisor Brandenstein | and M. 8. Greenblatt contended that the present facilities for acquiring the lan- guages are mot adequate for a city of such a cosmopolitan character as San Francisco. The petitioners ask that the course be extended to the high schools. The petition was taken under advisement. The studies have just been established in two schools. Leaves of absence were granted to Miss J. A. ‘Michelgon, Miss 8. Athearn, R. P. Saffold and W. H. Langdon.

The Western express, known as No. 6, east bound, a heavy train made up of four Pullmans, three cpaches and a pos- tal and baggage car, was run into by a luocal passenger train from Philadelphia. Ald was immediately summoned from the surrounding towns and as quickly as pos- sible physicians who responded dressed the wounds of the injured, who were placed in a car and ‘hurried through to Jersey City. The trainmen knew that the local was due, and the passengers on the express were told to leave the train and a flag was rushed back. There is g very sharp curve just at this point and the flagman had hardly reached it when the Phila- delphia train came around the curve at a high rate of speed and crashed into the express. Some of the passengers had not left the train when the collision occurred. When the train bearing the injured reached Jersey City a few- of those hurt were sent to hospitals, but it is under- stood that none of them received sericus injuries. e SWEDISH-AMERICAN FAIR IS LIBERALLY PATRONIZED Proceeds of the Bazaar Will Be Turned Over to the Hall Association.

NEWBERN, Tenn.,, Oct. 8.—Garfield Burley and Curtis Brown, negroes, were lynched here to-night by a mob of 500 people. Burley on Saturday last shot and killed D. Flatt, a young farmer, near Dyersburg. Flatt had traded horses with the negro, who later asked that the trade be declared off. Flatt refused to accede to this proposition and while on his way home was shot down by Burley. A posse hunted the murderer, and last night located him in a negro cabin at Huffman, Ark. While being brought to Dyershurg Burley confessed to the kill- ing, implicating Curtis Brown as an ac- complice. Both men were lodged in jail at Dyersburg to-day. A mob soon ap- peared and demanded possession of the prisoners. Criminal Judge Madden made a strong plea that the law be allowed to deal with the case, saying that the ne groes would be placed on trial to-morrow The mob would not listen to this and for- cibly took possession of tha two men and took them to Newbern, where they were taken to a telephone pole and securely tied face to face. At a given word they were strung up. - 2R Bodies in Cold Storage. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oect. 8.—Thirty dead bodies were found to-night in the cold storage in the rear of an icecream factory on Eighth street. The same pipes which were used in congealing the cream for table use were connected with a smail plant in a shed in the rear, where they kept the bodies cool. It was at first thought that the cadavers had been brought here from Ingianapolis, but the heads of several colleges interested in the establishment asserted to-night that the bodies were obtained legitimately by them from the penitentiaries, insane asy- lums and other State institutions in the State of Kentucky.

LD NORTH HiLL MAY COLLAPSE Historic Structure of the State University Is Unsafe, BERKELEY, Oet. 8.—Qld North Hall, the first building erected for the Uni- versity of California in 1869, has become a menace to the students who throng its corridors and recitation rooms daily. Fire Chief James J. Kenney, who has made an inspection of the college buildings in his new capacity as chief of the Berkeley fire department, has reported to Presi- dent Wheeler that the floors are in dan- geP of collapse from age and that the narrow stairways and inadequate fire escapes make a terrible holocaust pos- sible. North Hall, the first of the collega bujldings to be erected on the site of the University of California when the college moyed from Oakland, has seen hard ger- viee for thirty-four years without any ap- preciable - repairs being made upon it. Being one of the most important build- ings upop the campus many hundreds of students pass in and out of its recitation ropms hourly, often causing such a jam in the halls and on the staircase as to blockade them for the moment. The floors in the largest recitation rooms have Sunken in some places two inches and tremble during the interchange of classes over them. The supports of tge ceilings above are in many instances bad- ly cracked and the stairways show evi- dences of Instability. “That building is decidedly unsafe,” said Chief Kenney, “and some day there will be a frightful disaster within its walls. I reported to President Wheeler that the floors were in danger of collapse tnless some steps were taken to remedy their condition. “In case of fire the loss of life would be great, for the halls and stairways are too narrow. The only fire escapes, located as they are outside of very small class- rooms, would be utterly worthless.” President Wheeler will convey Chiet Kenney's report to the Regents for thelr consideration, BAPTISTS DISCUSS EVANGELICAL WORK Central Conference of California Churches Names the Rev.

STRANGE STORY Raymond Vasquez De- nies Claim of George Lawrence, Says Plaintiff Paid Him for Protection From Angry Husband SR T Behind a suit to recover $500 which was filed last Tuesday in the County Clerk’s office lies a story of a broken home, of an unfaithful wife and of the career of a once wealthy “young man, who traveled the primrose path. The suit was filed by George Lawrence against Raymond Vas- quez, who is proprietor of a saloon at 1321 Dupont street. Lawrence alleges in his complaint that he loaned Vasquez the money which he [now seeks to recover. Vasquez, on the | other hand, declares that iLawrence, in- stead of lending him $500, gave him the meney for protecting him from Frederick L. Jones, whose wife, he alleges, Law- irence was in love with and whom, he claims, Lawrence enticed from her hus- band and her home. Vasquez says that the foundation of the present suit was laid asmost two. years ago.. At that time Frederick L. Jones, who is the manager of H. S. Crocker's bookbindery, and his wife were living with their two little children in a happy home. Vasquez claims that Lawrence, who at that time was a well-to-do young man of leisure, having inherited a con- siderable fortune from his father, fell in love with Mrs. Jones, who is said to be rather pretty. Mrs. Jones, so Vasquez says, was induced to visit his saloon by a woman- friend. As to what occurred at the saloon, Vasquez has the following to say: G “Lawrence used to meet Mrs. Jones in my saloon guite frequently. When Jones finally learned of these meetings he and a friend visited the saloon and started to administer a good beating to Lawrence. After they had struck him several times I interfered. After that Lawrence was afraid to go home at night and many times I took him to my home in a cab. For thus protecting him from Jones he gave me $500 to fix up my saloon. He offered me a $750 diamond ring, but I re- fused to take it. “Jones got a divorce rrom his wife on the ground of desertion ‘and because of her relations with Lawrence. Some time afterward Lawrence took her East and spent all his money on her. He is now back here without any means and that is the reason he is suing me for money which he gave me for protecting him.” LADIES AID. SOCIETY L ASSIST ST.

BACK OF b SUTT AN HER AEASON Beautitul Girl of Nine- teen Years Becomes Demented. Liilian Alden Violently Raves About the Man Who De- serted Her. Oakland Office San Franciseo Call, 1118 Broadway, Oct. 8 Because she had been discarded by the man upon whom her heart was set Miss Lillian Alden, a beautiful girl, 19 years old, has become a raving maniac and.is detained at the Recelving Hospital pend- ing examination by the lunacy com- missioners. The young woman, who is a niece of the late Kate Castleton Phillips, the fa- mous vaudeville songstress, has her home with a widowed mother, Mrs. A. Alden, at 1817 Fifteenth avenue. There she had been under the care of physicians, who | vainly sought to check the slowly de- veloping mania. Miss Alden's condition became serious during the past week. She grew worse and finally succumbed under the strain upon her disordered mind and the worn- out watchers at her bedside were unable to restrain her any longer. After a consultation to-day with Dr. ‘W. 3. Wilcox,: the attending physician; the unfortunate young woman's relatives decided that she must be piaced in an'in- stitution where expert attention might, in time, restore her reasaon. 201 To that end she was removed this evening to the detention ward of the Re- celving Hospital. So violent was the pa- tient that it was necessary to keep her under the restraint of straps and thongs, to prevent her from doing injury to her- self or to those about her. It is from the ravings of the patient that the secret of the cause of her de- mentia has been discovered. For hours to-night she screamed and piteously begged her loved ope not to desert or t3 abandon her. The attendants say the case is one of the most violent that has been handied at the hospital. They are fearful that the intense strain upon the patient will cause her death unless she ylelds to treat- ment. Miss Alden is a cultured young woman and the shock is doubly severe on her relatives on that account. STOPS PAYMENT OF HIS CHECHS Nelson Repudiates Debts Contracted at Gam- ing Table, Samuel Nelsom, president of the San Francisco'Casket Company, engaged in a game of draw poker a few weeks ago, and is now regretting the occurrence. So is Rudolph Schrensky, who told Rudolph Fishbeck, one of the proprietors of the Majestic saloon, that Nelson was a good fellow, whose checks would be accepted | at the banks. Fishbeck believed Schren- sky and cashed three checks for $100 each | and ome for $0 signed by Nelson. Until | the next day Fishbeck believed that | Schrensky’s judgment was all right and that Nelson was a real gaod fellow. Just now the saloon man does net think seo much of Schrensky’s judgment or of Nel- son’s checks, for the last named individ- ual, the mjorning following the game of draw in which the checks played a part, sent to the Germania Trust Company, on which the checks were drawn, and stopped payment on them. Then Fishbeck appealed to Schrensky. The latter promptly made good the total amount to the saloen-keeper, and hunted up Nelson. The casket man absolutely refused to give'up a cent, saying that he| did not have to pay a gambling debt. Then Schrensky commenced & suit to re- cover the $350. The. suit was filed Satur- day. Schrensky was very wrothy when seen last night ‘and interrogated concerning the financial deal. He said: “Nelson got into a poker game and lost all the money he had. He asked me to make him an advance, but I did not have the cash. I asked Fishbeek to cash @ check for Nel- son, saying that he was all right. He drew a check for $100, which he played and lost, and then drew two others for §100 each, which Pishbeck cashed. lost the $200 and drew another check for $50, which money he lost. I supposed he was all right, because I had handled his checks before and did not have cause to think differently until I went to the bank, ‘where I was told that Nelson had ordered that his paper be not honored.” METAL RODFER ENDS Hi5 LIFE Severely Beats Former Mistress, Then Drinks Poison.

The Supreme Court decided yesterday that John M. Chretien must serve his sentence of ten years at San Quentin for forgery. The ground of the appeal was that the ‘information was defective. The allcged felony was committed in an at- tempt to loot the estate of John Sullivan, who died intestate and without heirs. It was proved at ihe trlal that Robert Colthrop, at the instigation of Chretien, | signed the name of John Sullivan to a deed to certain real estate. J. J. Rauer Innocently took the property and gave & consideration in return. The signature to the deed of conveyance was admittedly a forgery, but the notary’s seal was per- fectly genuine. The defense maintained that the infor- mation could be construed as charging forgery of the notary's seal and certifi- cate and that the conviction resulting therefrom was consequently illegal. The court holds that signing a fietitious nams to an instrument intended to defraud is forgery. Chretien will therefore have to serve his sentence. —_—— Young Men’s Eebrew Association.
