Hickman took her own life yes morning in her room in a dingy lodging house on the corner of Ninth and Folsom streets. A career which had begun in a home of wealth, to which was added all the advantages of early refinement and education, came to an end in an attic room by“gas asphyxia- tion. The body was discovered at an early hour yvesterday morning by Mrs. M. Earl. who went to call Miss Hickman. Ph | cians were summoned, but life was e tinct. The desperate woman had placed the gas tube in her mouth and drawn | the blanket over her head, tion she was found. who was the most intimate that the Her in which posi- Mrs. Earl, friend of the decea latter was a native father, J.

There was also a letter from Lee S. Ovitt from stated cinnati.

Miss Hickman came to San Francisco about two vears ago. and Tor more than a year in the employ of Otto tum Suden, and was held in the highest es- teem. Some few months since her father became paralyzed and this seemed to catise her to become despondent, and be- ing unable to keep her mind on her work, about two months since she resigned her position, since which time she has had no employment until Monday, when she went to work as a stenographer for Miss Mills in_the Parrott building. By all those with whom she assoclated here she is spoken of in the very highest terms. She was of an extreme literary turn of mind, highly educated and had made a great study of theosophy. Miss Hickman had evidently planned taking her life for some time, as she left a book containing addresses of friends re- siding in different parts of the country, | to whom she wished notices of her death sent. Among them was the name of her aunt, Miss Jennie B. Hickman, residing at Westport, Cal. The deceased was 38 years of age. L e e o e e e 2 Y ) A Rare Chance.

CAPTURED ON |Dress Goods: Department o EAMBOAT AL I Paul Schafer Arrested Aboard Sacramento River Craft. et e Former Wife and Detective Wait on Dock for His Coming. o B Effort Is Made to Conceal Him, but He Is Found With His # Little Daughter in Stateroom. bR Paul Schafer, the assistant postmaster of Oakland, who kidnaped his little daugh- ter Josepnine from the home of her moth- er, Mrs. Herbert Beck, in Sacramento on Monday afternoon, arrived with the child in this city on the steamboat Apache shortly after midnight this morning and was taken into custody by Detective Ed Gibson. At the time of the arrival of the Apache Mrs. Beck and her husband were on the wharf, accompanied by Detective Gibson. When the Avache docked and the pas- sengers filed off Schafer and his daughter |- failed to appear. Detective Gibson then boarded the boat and approaching C. E. | Weikert, the clerk, asked for information cencerning a man and a little girl, who had boarded the boat at Clarksburg. Weikert, responded. that he knew noth- ing about a man and a girl being on board, but later remembered having seen them at the dining table during the day. He supnosed the two had left the boat at some landing touched during the trip, but did not remember seeing them leave. When asked by Detective Gibson to as- sist in searching for the parties Weikert refused, and it was finally. necessary to awake the purseg, who said that state- room No. 2 had been given to a man and his daughter and that they were still occupying it. Detective Gibson knocked on the state- room door, asking who was inside, and a man's voice answered. The owner of it said his name was Shepherd. When the door was opened: it was found that the occupants of the state- rcom were Schafer and little Josephine. He was placed under arrest and acknowl- edged his Identity. Detective Gibson, as soon as he found Schafer, asked a policeman, who was present, to tell Mr. and Mrs. Beck and Mrs. Josephine West Hunt, maternal grandmother of the child, who were watt- | ing on the dock, to go to Captain of De- tectives Martin's office and. walt for him | there. When arrested Schafer said: “I was advised by Attorney Johnson of Oakland to hold the child in my posses- sion until the mattef courd be finally set- | tled in the courts.” | At Captain Martin's office little Jose- phine was turned over to her mother and Schafer was put in a cell and his name written in the detinue book. - WARRANTS IN SACRAMENTO.

Schafer, while in Sacramento, led parties to suppose he knew nothing of a divorce decree and that he retained a parental claim to the custody of his child As the details of the abduction are brought to Hght it is shown to be one of | the most audaclous attempts of the kind ever witnessed in Sacramento. The child | wag selzed on the publicistreet, while in | the care of a governess, and despite her tearful entreatles was hurrled into a car- riage, which sped with her out.of the city. | The boys who followed on bicycles were forced back by a revolver brandished by Officer Winter. The action of this officer is denonnced in strong terms by Sheriff | Reese and Chief of Police Sullivan, to both of whom he is answerable. Mrs. Goodman, grandmother of Jose- phine, declared to-day that this is the | third ‘time Schafer has attempted to steal the children from the mother. It is claimed that for two or three days with another man, he had been driving slowly about the neighbor- portunity to seize her. Winters, it ap- pears, was engaged as long ago as Satur- day night last to aid in\ the capture of part of the county where she would not be followed. i B — i BOY KILLED BY TRAIN i WHILE ON WAY HOHE} Frank Maloney, 12-Year-Old Cash- boy, Meets Terrible Fate Near It Sunnyside. ‘While walking along the Southern Pa- cific tracks near Sunnyside last evening, | Frank Maloney, a 12-year-old cash boy, residing with his parents at 272 Bremmer street, Ocean View, was struck by a| south-bound train, sustaining Injuries which resulted in his death shortly after- ward. The accident occurred In Burnell Cut, | near the fatal Sunnyside crossing. about 6:45 p. m. The unfortunae lad, who is employed in a downtown retail establi§$h- ment, wds on his way homeward when overtaken by his terrible fate. He was undoubtedly walking along the tracks through tie cut, as that way is shorter than by the road, and was overtaken by out-bound train No. 50, in charge of Con- ductor R. J. Cassin and Engineer M. Knold. The boy was tossed several feet. As soon -as possible the train was brought to a standstill and the injured child was tenderly carried to the baggage | car. The train was then rushed through to Ocean View and Dr. Vandie was called. Examination by the physician developed the fact that the child’s skull had been fractured. Despite the efforts of the doc- tor, death occurred within a short time. Patrolman A. Juel has been detalled on Up to a laté hour 14st night the engineer had not been ar- rested. [ —— Fire in the County Hospital. The City and County Hospital was slightly damaged by fire yesterday. The blaze was caused by a defective flue. The fire started in the side wall of ward “B,” where the eye, ear and throat patients are located, and was kept confined to that portion of the building by the prompt ac- tion of the hospital fire brigade under command of Superintendent Dr. B. F. McElroy. The department engines were soon on the scene, but the flames had been subdued before they arrived. There was no excitement among the patients, as few of them were aware of what was happening. ee—————— Olympic Sports Are Held.
