The two officers of the force took the chances of appearing in the j open before the fire of the negro and | called to him to come to the window. He did so and did not attempt to fire \upon the officers, whom he recognized. The two talked with him for nearly an him to | come out and give himself up. The megro told the police that he | feared the mob outkide and - that he | feared bedily harm from them. “If you will give yourself up_quietly I will see that you are protected,” ! said Chief Hodgkins. | “You can't protect me against the | crowd,” replied the negro. “I will clear the street of every man and will takesyou to the hall myself,” | said the Chief. “They are waiting outside | me,” replied the negro. | 8o the conversation was carried on. | Anderson was apparently afraid to come out. He seemed to think there was | 2 mob waiting for him, and he doubted [ the ability of the officers to protect | him. He repeated this several times | during the parley and he seemed more afraid of the crowd than of the police. | During the conversation with Chief | Hodgkine, Anderson told him that he | was badly Burt, that his right leg | pained him and he could hardly-walk. | When the body was taken to the to kil | Morgue it was found that the right | | leg had been broken by a Winchester bullet near the thigh. > The result of the conversation was | that Anderson refused to come out, and the firing began once more. It is | claimed that Anderson ended the parley | with a shot, and that it then hecame | necessary to get the negro, dead or | alive, or take the chance of losing a i gcod man. The final fusillade, which re- sulted in the death of Anderson, oc- curred shortly after 8 o'clock this | morning. lower portion of the house. Every win- dow had been broken and the doors forced in by battering rams’'and rocks, and- whenever he passed one of the openings he was fired at by the men who were watching that portion of the house. The man, badly wounded, re- treated into the upper portion of the house and prepared for his last stand. Policemen were stationed all around him, in front and upon all sides, and his appearance at any of the shattered casements was the signal for a dozen shots. To the rear and slightly to the east were stationed, in the rear the Sea-* &) 3245 s A The negro had been driven out of the | | 1 1 | — man’s Rest, Policemen Tillotson and Kentz and Special Moffatt. The doomed man appeared at the rear window for a moment. and Special Moffatt brought him down with a shot. .Anderson crawled to the head of the stairs, leav- | ing a track of blood. At a littleywin- dow at the head of the stairs he half- arose, with his big revolver in his hand. Sergeant Clark was on the roof outside of the window, and Anderson fired his last shot at the police officer. The bul- let went wide. The gergeant fired in return, and Wilson Anderson fell, mor- tally wounded. He was not dead, but | passed away at 9:35 o’clock at the Re- ceiving Hospital. Nine bullet holes were found in the body, most of them in the left side. He was shot in the left heel, the left leg between the ankle and knee, the left knee, the left side mear the armpit, the left shoulder and the left arm above the wrist, in the right arm and twice in the back. One shot struck the spine and one went through the lungs. The house is a complete wreck. Win- dows and doors are shatteted and the walls and roof full of bullet holes. Plastering has been torn off, furniture /smashed and posts shot to pieces, Glass strewed the floor and pools of blood marked where the negro had rested. He held his revolvers to the end. One was in his hand when the police took charge of the body in which life was so nearly extinct. It was also found that he had more than a hundred rounds of revolver ammunition. The sister of the dead man told the Morgue and hospital officials that her brother had been a soldier in one of the negro regiments, and ‘that when he was drinking he became imbued with the idea that people were trying to kill him. She also stated that he had been in the Stockton Insane Asylum for a time. The house in which Anderson fought is owned by S. Zalkovich and was once one of the fashionable residences of early Oakland. It was rented by Sam Meilhurst, a negro, who used it for a lodging-house for those of his race. Damages will be claimed from the city for the wrecking of the house. The inquest upon the dead negro has been set for Thursday night. ———— If we tear the bandage from Cupid’'s eyes we must not growl if we see too much. —————— The good fellow is rarely on terms with bi bank account, 8ood BEAND PVEAH POLICE QPERETL TPLAN T0 DECK D * JUVENILE Rooy Men and Women of Berkeley Begin Campaign for Funds | to Pay for Furnishings Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, ! 2148 Center Street, April 27.

The companies filed upon the fleld from the armory, and after forming a long line broke into compa- nies again and then swung down the field in excellent marching order. The band played, the drums beat and the officers saluted, and altogether it was a pleasing spectacle. \ Governor Pardee did not don his regi+ mentals. He was there simply In his ‘“plain clothes” and familiar slouch hat. The members of his staff, however, came in full regalia. They were Adju- tant General L. C.
