Mrs. Annie McLean, who resided at 1411 | | Valencia street, was struck and instantly | killed last cvening about 6:30 o'clock at | | the corner of Twentv-fourth and Capp | streets by a south-bound Palo Alto train. | The unfortunate woman, who conducted a restaurant at 1409 Valencia street, had | gone to collect a bill from a person resid- ing on Twenty-third street and was re- turning to her vlace of business when | overtaken by her terrible fate. It had been the custom of the deceased to carry the bulk of her money with her, and when killed she bad more than $0 in gold in a purse she carried in her hand. The | money was scattered over the ground and most of it was undoubtedly picked up by the crowd attracted (o the scene, as only be found by Deputy Coroner McCormack. The usual incompetency which has characterized the administration of Coro- ner Leland since the advent of that offi- cfal into office was displayed in investi- | gating the case. Apparently no effort was made to locate any eye-witnesses to the tragedy who could be able to throw some light upon the responsibility for the sad ! affair, the Morgue official at the scene being content with telephoning meager | details to his office and allowing the rel- atives to have the hody taken to an un- | | dertaking establishment. Upon the return of the Palo Alto train | | R. A. Bush, the engineer in charge at the time of the accident, was taken into | | custody by Detective Graham and booked | | at the City on a charge of man- | | slaughter. s subsequently released | ! on bonds furnished by the railroad com- | pany. His statement is to the effect that | the deceased was walking along the track in the direction of Twenty-fifth street when he first saw He claims that he blew several sharp blasts, and in obe- dience to the warning signals Mrs. Mc- Lean stepped off the track to the left. He states that was unaware that the | woman had been struck until notified lat- er. According to Bush, the train was running at a slow rate of speed After the accident the body, which was | frightfully mangled, was tenderly carried to the waiting-room at the Twenty-fifth street station and a physician summoned. | Tpon e extinct and the Morgue was notified. The deceased was a native of Nova Sco- tia, aged 45 years. Her husband died | about a year ago, and three boys and | one girl survive her. She was the step- | mother of Dr. Alexander D.

Steyen Bennett and T. Jordan discovered the dead body of a man hanging by the neck from a lumber pile | on the wharf at the foot of Powell Street. | The dead man evidently had committed | ) | suicide. He had tied one end of a raw. | hide thong to the end of a projecting plank and had fastened the other end | around his neck. The body is that of a man about 4 years old, dre in a gray suit and with rough hands. The thong | with which he had strangled himself was | made of four pieces of belt lacing, tied to -ther, and evidently taken from a fac- tory or mill. The remains will be held at the Morgue for identification.

Harold Gardner, 7 years old, residing at 125 Gough street, was run over by a bakery wagon at the crossing of Van Ness avenue and Market street vesterday afternoon. Gardner, Wwith other boys, was playing on the avenue when Gottlich Blessing, a driver” for John Schlidtman, a baker at 675 McAllister street, was driving past. Blessing did not see the boy until the wheels of his wagon passed over his body, when he stopped and con- veyed him to a nearby drug store, from which place he was removed to the Emergency Hospital, where he was treat- ed for serfous internal injuries. Blessing was arested by Mounted Officer Berrie and charged with battery. Collides With a Car. Bernard Dernard, 16 years of age, resid- ing at 112 Lyoh street, was knocked off | his wheel by an ocean-bound blue car at the “crossing of Oak and Lyon streets yesterday afternoon. The youth was taken to the Park Emergency Hospital.

The honors were carried oif vesterday by Herbert Schmidt and Hen- ry Mills, representing Bates’ School of San Francisco. The final proved the most stubbornly contested match of the day Ir. it Mills and Schmidt met, Beyfuss and Long of Lowell High School. Ten teams figured in the event. The winners had no trouble at all until they reached the final, and would have had none there if they had not been looking for it. They met Alexander Beyfuss and Herbert Long of Lowell in this match. In the first set they completely outplayed taking the set 6—1. With a lead of 50 in the second set, the slackened their pace and lost the next two games. The Lowell representatives this veint jtook a brace and won the After another long deuce set and Mills won out.

Her sturdy athletes succeeded in half a point more than their worthy rivals from the Ukiah H School. However, the youths from Men- decino County do not intend that the sil- ver cup which has been previously won twice by both these schools, shall come into possession of their rivals without a struggle. The Uklah boys have entered a protest, and If it be sustained the up- country lads will secure the trophy. In the relay, the most exciting event of the day, the youths who sported the col- | ors of the Oakland High School and ran the third and fourth relays failed touch hands as laid down by the rules Chairman W. B. Hinchman of the Ama- teur Athletic ‘Association and other relia- ble parties observed this fact, and the protest may be allowed. The referee left the grounds and the matter will be sub- mitted to him as soon as the track of- ficials can get together. The field day was the closest and best given by the Academic Athletic League since its organization. Every event was hotly contested and the spectators were kept at a fever heat. There was a large attendance. Pretty girls and young men with leather lungs made the welkin ring with their shouts for their representa- tives. Records went a-glimmering ir a number of events. Yost of the Lowell High School won the half-mile race in 2:01 1-5, lowering the academic record 4 3-5 seconds. Yost ran a great race. He lald back and allowed Brule and Miller make the pace, and then in the last lap ran away from them. The mile run was also hafr-raising event. Hunter of the Santa Clara High School lowered De Mamliel's record by more than eight seconds. He also baat De Mamiel out in clever fashion. The pair negotiated the distance in 4:41 1-5— excellent time for high school boys. Rose, a young giant from the Healdsburg High School, broke the world's interscholastic records In putting the twelve and sixtcen pound shot. He hurled the twelve-pound a L e e e e e R R R R R R R N CALEDONIANS PREPARE TO ENTERTAIN GUESTS Club Appoints Reception Committee for Its Annual Gathering and Games.
