Dies From Fractured Skull When Bullets Did Not Harm Him. To have passed unscathed through the entire war between Boer and Briton; to have followed the varying fortunes of th great South African leader, General De wet, during all the perils that beset his stubborn e tance to British rule over his native land; to have escaped the whizzing bullets and the scarcely less deadly disea that infested the Boer camps and then to have lost his life by | beihg struck by a street car, was the| fate of Martin d’Arcy, who died early yesterday morning at the Railroad Hus—‘ | pital. Dorsey had been in San Francisco only a short time, having come here from Butte, Mont. He was employed at the TUnion Tron Works and lived at 508 Twen- | tieth street. onday night he attended the Gaelic the Franklin High School and as on his way home when he met the injuries which resulted in his death. was attempting to board a westhound | Missfon-street car when an eastbound | r whizzed by, striking him and Knock- | ing him to the cobbles in the center of the | track. He was removed to the Railroad | Hospital, where it was found that he had | suffered a fracture of the skull, which | resulted fatally within a few hours. | The dead man was a native of Ireland | and was a civil engineer by profession. | At the outbreak of the war between the Ioers and the British he relinquished a | resporsible position at Mecur, Utah, gath- ered around him a few adventurous spir- its end set out to aid the struggling re- public in South Africa. They succeeded in gaining the Boer lines and the volun- teers were given over to the command of General Dewet, under whom they served until death and defeat rendered thefr fur- | ther allegiance useless. Out of the thir- teen who accompanied d’Arcy nine of them left thefr bones to bleach under the rays of an African sun on the veldt they fought to preserve to its rightful owners. | D'Arcy and his party were highly re- garded by their commander and although | they were offered the rank of ensigns they | refused preferment. To their share fell | the dangerous duty of scouting, and 4n | this they excelled even the native born | Boers | When hemmed in and worn ouf by a| struggle unparalleled for its herofsm in | | | ! | { | | | | | | the history of warfare Dewet was forced | to contemplate surrender, he gave to all | to escape, if | rossible, from the captivity that it was | patent the British would impose on the | survivors of his gallant band.

Truck Company No. 2 and Chemical | Company No. 5 gave an “at home” at| their quarters; 627 Broadway, last even- ing. The rooms on the second floor of the house were entirely inadequate to accom- | modate the great gathering of friends of officers and men, who congregated in re- sponse to a generous invitation. There was a programme of music and songs and dancing Which was admirably ar- | ranged, and the evening was altogether a most enjoyable one. | Among those who helped to make the hours pass in merriment were the Adams sisters, Mr. and Mrs. Walsh, J. T. Trav- | ers, Charl May Leddy step dancer. George Willams was a companist and also played several pop- ular selections on the piano. The mem- bers of the companies who acted as hosts were Captain John Leahy, Lieuten- | ant F. Cummings, J. Corwell, F. Kruse, H, Wilson, E. T. Cogger, W. Conniff, R. Cuneo, C. Clan . Crosby, F.

Twelve years ago he married Miss Deborah Ash, and leaves behind him to mourn his loss a son 11 years old and a daughter of 8.

His wife knows no reason for his strange absence and Is nearly distracted with fear and anxiety. Inquiry at bis place of employ- ment and at his accustomed ha has given no clew to his whereabouts. Mrs Buck asserts that she and h have had no domestic difficulty moment. When he left home he is sald to have been in good spirits apparently and gave no intimation of any intentfon to desert his family. On Friday Margaret, five years of age, and John two years younger, were sent to visit Mrs. Ellen Tehan, their grand- | mother, at her home in Doherty, Alameda County. Saturday afternoon Buck ap- | peared and demanded his children. It is | sald that he was met with a refusal on | account of his queer actions. He insisted but all to no purpose. After some argu | ment, it is alleged, he drew a pistol from his pocket and took charge of the little ones in spite of their grandmother’s pro tests. He then departed and has not since been seen by any of his relatives. His wife states that he has shown | symptoms of mental derangement from time to time, and that once while con- | fined in the railroad hospital he attempt- | ed to commit suicide. She fears that he | was not conscious of his acts at the time of his disappearance and that some harm | may have come to him and the children. The oldest daughter was left at home and is aiding the mother in the search. An appeal was made to ®u charitable so- clety and a police officer subsequently made an investigation of the case. No trace of the missing man or children was discovered. Inquiry at the ticket offices of the railroads was fruitless. None of his friends had seen him. His business assoclates were llkewise in the dark as to his whereabouts. The search will be continued to-day. of any Saturda Petty Crimes Reported.
