The officers appre- hended him late the same night while he was visiting his mother, but he es- caped a second time because they did not take the precaution to handcuff him. This all happened two weeks ago, and the police have been waiting for bis return ever since. He slipped into town again to-day, however, without them seeing him, having determined to remain a fugitive no longer, but to face ing himself up to the law he sought an interview with Dallerup, his victim, with the result that he secured a prom- ise that he would be punished as lightly as possible. Then he surrendered to Justice of the Peace Quinn of Oakland, | who fixed his bail at $200 and accepted his bond for the amount. The charge is petty larceny. “1 feel like a man just waking up from a dream,” said Sargent, tears streaming from his eyes. “I re- member things only in a vague way. 1f I took things that did not belong to me it was because I was not responsi- I must have been crazy. That's way to account for it. But 1e back now to take my medi- cine.” The case of Sargent is most inexpli- cable. A college-bred man, a man with a good mother, whom he supported from his own labor, the owner of some property and apparently surrounded with the best influences, he suddenly stepped aside from the path of right- eousness. There seemed to have been no incentive to steal, for besides hav- ing considerable means of his own, the| things he took he could not sell and did not attempt to sell. His conduct is explained only on the ground that he is suffering from a mental disease akin to kleptomania. —_———— THREE MEN ARE INJURED BY COLLAPSE OF A ROOF Serious Accident Occurs at Salt Water Reservoir of Local Baths During Reconstruction. Three workmen were sericusly in- jured yesterday afternoon by the col- lapse of the roof over the salt water reservoir of the Lurline Baths, situated on Josephine avenue, near Point Lobos avenue. H. M. Stone of $38 Madison street, Oakland; Charles Graham of 2570 Geary street and El Harrington of Madison avenue, West Berkeley, are the injured men. From the nature of the accident it is regarded as miracu- lous that they were not instantly killed. The San Francisco Bridge Company ; solo, | has the contract for placing new un- derpinning under the roof covering the “regor, Mre. 8. | Feservoir, and a force of men had been employed on the work. Shortly before o’clock, without previous warning, a portion of the roof came crashing down upon the three men, burying them be- ¢ the | neath a mass of twisted timbers. Fel- Fitz | Jow workmen rushed to the scene and Ehia | the three were soon extricated from the debris. The ambulance was summoned from the Park Hospital and the injured vere removed to that institution. Dr. Stevens, the surgeon in charge, found that Stone was suffering from internal injuries and shock and Harrington had two ribs fractured in addition to a scalp wound. Graham was brought to the hospital in an unconsciozs condition, and it iz believed that his skull has been fractured at the base. He was re- moved to the Central Emergency Hos- pital late last night and an operation may be necessary to save his life. —_————— WONDERS OF EXPOSITION ATTRACT CALIFORNTANS Many Visitors From Far West Sign Register in the Golden State Building.
