Dr. Kane gave no opinion, as he left before the autopsy was concluded. VICTIM A STRANGER. That this victim of murder stranger to this neighborhood seems certain. Not an inquiry was made to- day at the Coroner’s office concerning him. Deputy Coroner Quellen, in com- was a pany with Under Sheriff J. J. Hanifin! Jr., made a thorough search to-day in the bed of the creek and along the sides of the gulch where the body was found. They picked up an empty pis- tol bullet shell and an exploded shot gun cartridge. Through the brush they tramped and all else they could get was an old derby hat, battered and bfoken. It was found a few feet from where Chard stumbled upon the body. | ! body might accidentally have been killed by some hunter. The hills in that neigh- borhced are traveled over every day by hunters, and it might be that some one did shoot the man and then hid his under the brush for fear of de- on. If Chard had not seen the up- ed, uncovered face he would have overlooked the body, for it was hidden under the twigs.

Though his clothing was shabby, his shoes badly worn and the general ap- pearance of the garments that of one in poverty, the man's countenance in death was not that of & tramp. There was no evidence that he had been | drinking. The internal organs were in | normal condition. The stomach con- tained six ounces of partially digested food, showing that death had occurred | very soon after he had partaken of a hearty meal. all indicated that death occurred about twenty-four hours before the body was found, and this was borne out by the, surgeon’s investigation. | RUEF RETURNS FROM NATIONAL CONVENTION Is Greeted by Many Friends at Ferry and Afterward Given a Serenade.

HARTMAN DIES FROM WOUND an Who Was Shot in the Arm by August Geber _Succumbs to Blood Poison IDED TIFIES MURDERER Statement Not Secured From Patient, Who Thought He Would Surely Recover George Hartman Jr., the young man who was shot in the arm by August Geber last Sun%::' morning, when Ge- ber killed Charl Hartman and tried to annihilate the entire Hartman fam- ily, died last night at 6:05 at the Mc- blood poisoning wound inflicted by Geber. Immediately following the murder of Charles Hartman on Sunday, July 10, mire. Since that time the wound was examined daily and supposed to be getting along nicely. Saturday night during the afternoon, but at that time showed no particylar symptoms of | blood poisoning. Yestérday morning the young man’s condition became alarm- |ing and Dr. Plymire was summoned | to the family home at 321 Third street, The doctor found his patient in a seri- ous condition and ordered his removal | | to the hospital. Rigidness of the mus- cles was excessive and by the time the | hospital was reached an operation was decided upon. The police department was notified of the man’s condition and the fear suggested that the case might prove fatal. GUARD THE PRISONER. Assistant District Attorney Flood was notified and he decided to get a dying statement from Hartman to be | used at the trial of Geber. Detective Ryan was detailed to .convey the pris- the hospital in order that| Hartman might again identify the man who killed his brother and also shot him. Charles Hartman Sr. was at the| bedside of his son when Geber was ordered taken to the hospital. As the elder Hartman had threatened to Kill Geber if he had an opportunity, Po- licemen Collins and Walsh, two of the largest men on the force, were detailed to accompany Ryan and his prisoner to the hospital to prevent any demon- stration on the part of Hartman when the slayer of his sons. Word keep Hartman out of the room during the time Geber remained. That re- quest was complied with by the hos- pital physicians and the elder Hart- man did ngt know Geber had been near him until the prisoner had been taken away. MAKES NO STATEMENT. When ' Assistant District Attorney Flood asked young Hartman to make a dying statement, the man mumbled that he did not believe he was going to die, but at the same time indicated that Geber was the man who had shut him and killed his brother. Dr. Plymire opened the wound andl thoroughly cleansed it, but the dreaded conditions had taken too firm a hold and death ensued shortly after six o'clock last night. Dr. Bacigalupi, the autopsy surgeon of the morgue, was present when the operation was per- | formed. As the case was in reality a| death by violence, the body was con- veyed to the morgue, where an au- | topsy will be performed this morn- | ing. | When Geber was notified that George Hartman had died he had nothing to| say. An additional charge of murder | will be placed against Geber this morn- ing. \ RESUME OF CASE. George Hartman, the second victim of Geber's weapon, was shot in the arm while holding a door to prevent Geber getting into a room at the Hart- man home Sunday morning, July 10. Geber had been discharged by the elder Hartman, and he proceeded to annihi- | late the entire family. Charles Hart- man was instantly killed and George | shot in the arm. Geber, who is a Ba- varian. also tried to shoot George Hartman Sr. and knocked Mrs. Hart- man down with the revolver. Before bein~ captured the murderer tried to kill Policeman Tyrrill. The policeman’s | hands were badly cut and he was com- | pelled to use his club freely before the ! prisoner was subdued. Geber is await-| ing trial on a charge of murdering Charles Hartman, a verdict to that ef- fect having been rendered by a Coro- ner's jury. e ——— LABOR UNIONS ELECT DIFFERENT OFFICERS Various Labor Organizations Are Kept Busy During Past Few Weeks Selecting Able Leaders.

A meeting was called at 1 p. m. by the officlals of the See Yup Society, and the highbinder diplomats succeeded in showing each tong in turn that its rival had got the worst of the quarrel and that it therefore should treat its adversary with consideration. A Suey Sing man lost his cue—most terrible calamity—and a Hop Sing man got “his” in the form of a close fore- head shave with a pistol ball or two. Considering that the honors of warfare were about even, the bloodthirsty Ce-| lestials chose the better course—peace. No6 money changed hands in the deal, but it was agreed that each tong should present a partial atonement for | the humiliation suffered by him who | lost his cue and him who was shaved | with lead, a huge roast pig. | The extra police have been with- drawn from Chinatown and the “gun men” of the two tongs are once more seen In the streets.. Officlal proclama- tions of peace were posted yesterday on the walls in the “yellow quarter.” Although this difficulty has been set- tled, there is a rumor about Chinatown | of another possible war.
