An inquest was held by Coroner Leland yesterday upon the body of James P. Herbert, who was |scalded by steam is- uing from an asphaltum Kettle. The | jury endeavored to ertain from the witnesses whether Herbert was an inex- perienced hand, as the nature of the ac- cident seemed to indicate, but none of the witnesses were able to testify posi- tively on that point ppeared from the evidence that it is ymary to wait until a certain portion the superheated steam has been al- | lowed to escape before opening the door | of the kettle, and that Herbert neglect- ed this precaution and thereby lost his | ! life. The jury returned the following ver- | diet: | That the said James P, Herbert came to death in the City and County Hospital , 1903, from shock from burns; death le aus ed by burns produced by opening door of | the kettle too soon.

K. Osborn of 530% Valencia street and A. S. Loane of 1530 Golden Gate avenue, the trio were sitting in front of Goldstone Brothers' establishment at 21 Battery street .when Hamlin drove in his wagon.

I stopped the team and was looking for a rope when three men approached the wagon and asked what I was looking for. I told them to keep away, as I feared that they meant to attack me. Not heeding my warning the largest fellow came nearer and I pulled my revolver to | frighten him, as I had done twice be- fore to other parties. In getting the gun out of my pocket it went off. I then drove away. On Sutter street I found that a nut had been unscrewed from the wagon and the wheel was nearly off. I kept the gun and did make an attempt to clean it before giving it to the officers.” Hamlin was formerly a crayon artist and has been living in this city since 1896. He resides at 254 Jessie street and is an unmarried man. s A S | GONZALES TO BE TRIED ' !’03 FALSE SWEARING United States Locnl Inspector Pro- poses to Prosecute the Pilot in Federal Court.

Commissioner Manson of the Board Ol‘ ‘Works submitted figures to show that it would cost $31,000 to purchase a plant for street cleaning and the work itself could be done for $169,000 yearly. To build a municipal stable would cost $30,000 more, said Manson, who advised that the plan of the city doing its own street clean- ing be not\put into effect until July 1, 1904, as it would take six months to perfect it. The matter will be considered further next Saturday morning. F. S. Chadbourne asked the committee to allow $25,000 for the purchase of land for St. Mary's Square. Chairman Bran- denstein stated that if the sum was al- lowed, the proposition to be submitted to the people to acquire the entire park at a cost of $215,000 must be withdrawn. On motion of the parties interested, action on the matter was deferred. The Bureau of Engineering was allowed $70,000, an increase of $10,000 over last year, though City Engineer Grunsky asked for $30,000 more to carry out necessary work.
