Miles Medical Co,, Elkhart, Ind SEEK RECORD OF MARRIAGE Friends of John Rush Baird Afraid That He Had Been Wed to Miss Ruby Neil FEAR IS DISPELLED Girl Tells Truth When Testi- fying That She Was Never United With Dead Clubman | It was thought for a short time vesterday by the friends of John Rush Baird, the popular young eclub- man who was killed by the sudden overturning of his automobile on Tuesday night, that he had been secretly | married to Miss Ruby Brown Neil. De- tectives went to work on the case and looked up the records, but the discovery was soon made that his companion on that fatal ride had told the truth when she said to Captain Burnett that they were merecly engaged and had not been married. Miss Neil was brought before tho Morse Agency yesterday afternoon and asked a few questions. The relatives and friends of John Baird now are satis- fied that he h&d never married this pretty young girl of 19. Beird’'s body was removed from the undertaking parlors and taken to the family residence at 2513 Pacific avenue. From there the funeral will take place at 2 o'clock to-day. Theé pallbearers will be George de Lcng, Thomas Eastland, Morris K. Davis, William Downing, Percy Pike, Vail Bakewell, E. C. Hammer and John B. Partridge. The Coroner's jury will hold the in- quest at 10 o'clock this morning. 2 —_————————— HEALTH BOARD AFTER CATCHERS OF CRABS Dr. Ragan Finds Water at Fisherma; ‘Wharf and Crab Caught Therein Are Not Sanitary. Dr. Ragan, the Health Officer, yes- terday afternoon analyzed a quantity of water from Fishermen's Wharf, to-| gether with a crab caught in the wa- ter. The fluid in the stomach of the | crab showed 90 bacteria colonies, suffi- clent to spread germs of disease. The Health Board intends to keep after the crab fishermen, for it.is belleved sick- ness will result unless conditions are changed. The milk report was taken‘yesterday afternoon from eight dairles. The sample from the place of O. Cook, pro- prietor of the Guadalupe dalry, con- tained 666,000 colonies of bacteria, while 'that from Haley Bros.’ place con- tained 500,000 colonies. The best sam- ple was that submitted by Leipsic Bros., which contained but 80,000 colonles. —_———————— Trumks and Sult Cases.

If a lady with rheumaticks can't follow th’' doctor’s orders without bein’ arrested—" “Mrs. Burke, I'm afraid that you are prevaricating,” said the Judge, “and without any misgiving as to its effect upon you physically I'll give you a ten days’ term of imprisonment.” “Why don’t ye arrest th’ doctor that got me into this trouble?”’ Mrs. Burke demanded, but the bench ignored the query. . . John Derkelson, with tattered garmen- ture, unkeropt hair and a discolored optic, was given ten days for having aimlessly loitered at all times of day and night where the horses compete at Ingleside. “Why don’t you work?” Judge Mogan asked him. “Me an’ work had a fallin’ out a long time ago,” he answered, “‘an’ we've never been able to make up again.” “How did you acquire that black eye?” “I was rubberin’ troo a knothole in de fence w'ile de ponies wuz sprintin, an’ some funny guy on de odder side poked a cane trna the hole an' plugged me in de lamp.” A jury in Judge Mogan’s court ac- quitted John Curry, horseman, of the charge of aggravated battery made by D. J. Mouser of 316 Thirteenth avenue, who alleged that the defendant beat him with a eane until the weapon was broken to pleces. Curry admitted the assault, but claimed it was provoked by the unmerited coupling of his name with that of Mrs. de la Montanya by Mouser. —_—————— A Novel Christmas Gift.

W. Willis Says Corpse Lying at Oakland Morgue Is the Body of Pugilist, Who Was His Messmate CORONER’S JURY CAN NOT SOLVE MYSTERY No Light Is Shed on Manner in Which Sausalito Sport Met His End om Jagged Rocks of Railroad Mole The mystery surrounding the death of Francis H. McGrath, whose body, found on the rocks of the broad gauge mole a week ago, has been thrice identifled, ‘was not cleared last ‘night at the Coron- er's inquest in Oakland. The testimony gave no clew as to how the man met death and with an abund- ance of precaution the jurors returned & non-committal verdict. They found that the man met death by a gunshot wound in the head, but how, when or where was left unsolved. Without hesitation yesterday after- noon F. W. Willis, mechanic for the Sixty-eighth Company of Coast Artillery, identified the body at Grath, who was murdered on the rocks of the broad gauge mole several days ago. Willis had served with McGrath for eighteen months in the Philippines, knew him well and was armed with a deserip- tion of the dead soldier furnished by Ser- geant F. B. Clark of Company No. 68 that is stationed at Fort Baker. It was by the scars on the body of the dead man that ‘Wiills made the identification. “I went to Manila with the company of which I am now the mechanic,” sald Wil lis yesterday. “In 1869 Francis Hall Mc- Grath jolned our command in the Phil- ippines, and for eighteen months he was one of my messmates. Naturally, the de- camposed body is hard to identify, but from the general appearance and the de- scription furnished by Sergeant Clark I belleve that the dead man is McGrath. I will say positively that the body at the Morgue {s that of McGrath, unless there is a pecullar case of McGrath having a double. I came from Fort Baker to iden- | tity the remains, and I think I have suc- ceeded in my purpose.” ‘Willis was accompanied by George W. Smith, an expressman of Sausalito, by whom McGrath was formerly employed. Smith also declared that he belleved the body to be that of McGrath. “When McGrath returned from the Philippines, October 28, 191, he went %o work for the Sperry Express Company,” “but he often did work for me. While I cannot be positive, I belleve the body in the Morgue is that of Me- Grath, whose description tallles exactly with that of the body that I viewed to- day.” The description furnished by Sergeant Clark from the army records is that Mc- Grath was 24 years and 8 months old in 18%9. He had blue eyes, light brown hair and a dark complexion. There was a | tattoo mark on his left arm and the fol- lowing scars: Two on the abdomen, one on the lower left arm, one on the lower | and another on the upper part of the left leg and three on the back. An examination of the body yesterday did not disclose the scars on the back, al- | though every other scar described was found, with the exception of the tattoo marks. The back of the body was badly decomposed, and the scars may have been obliterated, and this is also true of the tattoo marks. About the two vaccina- tion scars on the left arm were three pale blue dots, but they may have been due to decomposition. The body was taken out for burial yes- | terday, but upon orders from Coroner Mehrmann it was returned, and will not be buried until to-morrow. At the Inquest last evening Maurice Bowden and Anthony Plvar, boys, testi- fied to finding the corpse. J. E. Pedro, a watchman on the mole, .said he saw a man that answered to the dead man’s description at 1 o’clock last Thursday afternoon, two hours before the body was found. Pedro warned the stranger and was told to ‘“mind his own busi- ness.” Dr. O. D. Hamlin, who followed, testi- fled that the body had been in the water the Oakiand | Morgue as that of Francis Hall Me- | Friday SurpriseNo.T4 These Prices for Friday Only. No Telephone or C. 0. D.
