Sergeant Boyle of M Company, | Eleventh Infantry, was locked up in| the guardhouse for being absent from duty and some other minor offense and when an opportunity offered yesterday | morning he boldly dashed through the | open doorway and made a wild break | for liberty. So sudden was the move | that the sentinel who was pacing up | and down hardly realized what had | happened until he saw his prisoner | fieeing down the drive toward the Lom- | bard street entrance to the post. He| shouted to him to halt, but as Boyle| only sprinted all the faster the sentinel dr his revolver and fired at him. | Boyle was now fleeing toward the| street. The sentinel again blazed away. | The shooting and shouting of the sen- | tinel brought Sergeant Murry of Com- | pany K, Tenth Infantry, sergeant of | the guard, upon the scene and he also | joined in pursuit of the fugitive. Ia| the meantime Boyle had reached Lom- bard street and was tearing toward the city. The commotion caused by the yelling and the shooting brought out the resi- | dents of that Section from all quarters, | many of whom joined in the chase. An automobile -dashed around the| corner into Lombard street, which af- | forded a shield for Boyle and put a| stop to the firing. The fugitive disap- | peared from sight. FOUND IN SALOON. A general search of the neighbor- hood took place and Boyle was found later on hiding in the backroom of a saloon, drinking a glass of bock beer. He was arrested again and put back | ir. the guardhouse. Major Bigelow and his squadron of the Ninth Cavalry held field exercises on the golf links yesterday morning. The time was given over entirely to practice in estimating distances, and while of great value to the partici-| pants, the work was lacking in inter-| est to the big crowd, of spectators, | who are accustomed to expect a spec- tacular display when the colored troopers are on the field. In the drill yvesterday Major Bigelow, with troops M and I, was stationed on a promi- nent point on the links, while Captain Nance, with troop K, occupied a spot | back of the Marine Hospital. Signals were exchanged, both by flag and bu-| gle, and both were successfully under-| stood. In the meantime troop L had gone to the top of Lone Mountain and also signale Finally Captain Nance moved over to the Francis Drake Cross, a distance of 2850 vards from the observatory point on the links, and | here the bugle “call to arms” was dis- tinctly heard by both troops. | As it was noon when these exercises the review was omit- | ted. On Friday morning the troopers | will drill on the point and Major Bige- low promises a highly entertaining morning. Major Carrington and his Philippine scouts will leave for St. Louis early next week, orders having come from headquarters to have transportation | provided for them as early as possi- ble. To-day and to-morrow will prob. ably be the last opportunity to see the | scouts drill on the parade grounds. They will drill at 3 o’clock and hold | dress parade at o'clock. Monday | night they will appear at the Mechan- | fes’ Pavilion with their splendid band, | tc take part in the benefit for the| McKinnon memorial fund. SOLDIERS GO TO SAN JOSE. A platoon of field artillery left the| Presidio yesterday afternoon for San | Jose, where it goes to take part in the| floral show in that city. | The transport Sheridan arrived at| Honolulu yesterday morning, and will | leave there for this port to-day. She| should reach here late on the afterno of the 1ith or early on the 15th. She brings a full battalion of Philippine | constabulary, together with its band of | 85 pieces, headed for the St. Louis ex-| position, and also the Eleventh Caval- | ry. The cavalry will remain at the| Presidio for about a week and then| one squadron will go to Fort Des| Moines, one squadron to. Fort Riley | 5 vided up between Fort Sheridan and Jefferson Barracks. Lieutenant Gilbert M. Allen, Nine- teenth Infantry, who was married last night to Miss Ethel L. Kent, called MacArthur yesterday, George W. Helms, and his ushers, Captain James H. Bradford and Cap- tain Berkeley Enochs, Major Parker W. West will go up to Benicia to-day to inspect the signal corps station at that point. General MacArthur, accompanied by Captain Frank S.

SALINAS, April 6.—The Republican County Central Committee met to-day at the City Hall and elected the fol- lowing delegates to attend the Repub- lican State Convention, to be held at Sacramento on May 18: J. R. Heb- bron, J. H. McDougall, Lewis Griffin, G. A. Dougherty, W. H. Bingham, E. C. Griswold, R. C. Jacks, J. B. R. Cooper, O. 8. Trimmer, E. M. Hills. The delegates were instructed to vote for a resolution indorsing Roosevelt for the Presidency. | Smith, by | tle, MRS. KUHN MAY BE PARDONED Iowa Senate and House Are Likely to Concur in Grant- ing Liberty to the Prisoner WOMAN’S RARE BEAUTY Opponents Say Her Appear- ance Has Brought About Efforts in Hér Behalf Speclal Dispatch to The Call. DES MOINES, Ia., April 6.—By re- considering the vote by which it re- fused to grant a pardon to S8arah Kuhn, the Senate, late this evening, indicated its intention to concur in the action of | the House, which to-day voted deci- sively in favor of pardoning Mrs. Kuhn. Opponents of the pardon openly declare that Mrs. Kuhn's youth and beauty have hrought about her pardon, |two years after the conviction of the murder of her husband and sentence to 1ife imprisonment. She is not yet twen- ty and is conceded to possess rarc beauty, which is supplemented by an air of childlike innocence. Mrs. Kuhn's alleged victim was an old man, nearly three times her age, hcmely and a hopeless cripple. Her marriage was a subject of barter be- tween Kuhn and her lover, Charles whom it has developed she had been seduced. Smith volunteered to act as Kuhn's John Alden and ob- tained Sarah’s consent to marry him. Four months of married life developed the utter hopelessness of Kuhn winning her love and she advised him that she would return to her parents. Thus far the statement of facts is alike by both sides. Friends of Mrs. Kuhn claim that her husband determined to take his own life and hers also and placed poison in the beer that caused his death. He urged her to drink from the same bot- but she detected a peculiar taste and declined, thereby saving her life. There is no evidence contradicting this, but there is a theory against it to the effect that Mrs. Kuhn determined to get rid of her husband, obtain his for- tune and marry Smith, who, she had learned, was about to marry another. cording to this theory Mrs. Kuhn deliberately poisoned her husband. As he died he was overheard to accuse her of having poisoned him. The Su- preme Court affirmed her sentence, but | Justice Weaver, in a dissenting opinion, ,declared it to be an ourrage due to public sentiment and based on theory, not evidence. The Legislature has adopted the same views. —_———— Prince Leopold Is Hurt. BERLIN, April 8.—Prince Freder- ick Leopold of Prussia had one foot severely injured to-day as the result of a coliision between an automobile in which he was riding and a drag near Berlin. SHOOTS BABY AND HUSBAND Mrs. John Rea of Hanford Kills Infant Daughter and Badly Wounds Her Spouse STORIES DO NOT AGREE Injured Parent Says Woman Made Murderous Assault While Temporarily Insane pecial Dispatch to The Call. HANFORD, April 6.—John Rea and his baby daughter, aged 18 months, were shot by the wife and mother Tuesday night and the child died to-day. It is claimed that Mrs. Rea was temporarily insane when she made the murderous assault. Rea was cut also on the cheek and hand with a razor. The stories told as to the cutting and also as to the cause of the shooting are conflicting. Neighbors were attracted to the Rea home by shots and cries for help and | found Mrs. yard in a semi-conscious condition. Rea and the child were lying on the | front porch, both very faint from loss | Doctors ,were summoned | and Sheriff Buckner and Constable | Goodrich took charge of Mrs. Rea, as | it was feared she might do further | of blood. harm when she regained conscious- ness. Rea says that his wife was insane at the time of the shooting and that her dementia was caused by jealousy be- cause the baby loved him best. says he had no opportunity to protect himself or the child. Mrs. Rea, on the other hand, says that her husband was mistreating the | child and that when she protested and started to telephone for an officer he knocked her down with a revolver. ‘When she regained consciousness she saw him coming toward her again. She secured a gun and shot him in self-defense. She says she did not in- tend to shoot her baby. Rea, it is thought, will recover, but the child died to-day. Rea says he | will not prosecute, hut will have his wife taken in charge by her brather, Walter Church, and brother-in-law, George fArmslrong, who reside at Se- bastopol. Rea says his wife is sub- ject to spells of melancholia. Her father was murdered near Sonoma | four years ago by a man named King, who is now in San Quentin. A mys- terious letter written by Mrs. Rea to her husband’s cousin, Mrs. C. R. Han- nah of 2519 Banecroft way, Berkeley, figures in the affair. The officers have possession of it, but refuse to divulge its contents. —_————— Conlan Is Presiding Judge.
