DOCTOR PLACES ACTOR ! MESSIN UNDER ARREST tennis California. ing San F Claims Debtor Is About to Leave State and Defraud Creditors, but Bill Is Settled. Oscar Dane Messing, an actor, who is at the head of a “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” company, was arrested yester- day by a deputy Sheriff on complaint of Dr. Henry H. Hart, who alleged that Messing, who owes him a bill of $250, was about to leave the State, with the intention of defrauding his credit- ors. Messing appeared before Justice of the Peace Van Nostrand and denied that such was the case, but admitted that his trunks were at the Santa Fe freight depot to be shipped East. Mes- sing testified that he would leave scen- ery and properties of the show behind him, which would be ample security for Hart’s claim. Judge Van Nostrand took the matter under advisement, and at 4:30 p. m. was about to render his de- cision when he was informed that.Mes- sing’s mother-in-law had agreed to stand good for the claim and turned over two drafts for $100 and a promis- sory note for $150 to Dr. Hart, and Messing was discharged from custody. —_—————- GIRL DEFAULTER BEFORE COMMISSIONER HEACOCK Her Examination Is Postponed at Re- American _children—Harold Strickland and Mildred McWilliams; Japanese schoclmates— | Gladys Pusw, Jean and Anita Marcus, Celeste Hughes, Helen Cushman, Lilllan Hanna, Hazel | quest of Counwel Until Saturday of Next Week.

With n bone through his heart, aged Philip Maher of 5880 Army street lived for three hours last night at the City and County Hespital. Maher, who was a real estate man, was sent to the hospital last evening suffer- ing from a fracture of the sternum and internal injuries which he had suffered as the result of an accident. The old man fell off the railroad bridge which spans Army and Dolores gtrects. He was picked up by Policeman Reddum and conveyed to the hospital. The doctors of the hospital staff worked on him, and his condition was so serious that his death was expected. With near- ly every rib in_his body broken he amazed the members of the medical staff by not dyving instantly. An examination of his injuries showed a bone had plerced his heart, which in ordinary cases would have produced immediate death. | the nave of the ferry: & .| building was deserted, John August Mil- the suicide elo-| § In the | | NDAY-SCHOOL | | | moved as recelver of the Merch: | a short time. | sorbed the Mechanies' Savings Bank, and Sofa Cushions Covered with Oriental sateen; some with ruffies, others plain with tassels; ready for use; size 18x18 inches: I,D- 38 propriate _ for corners. -Friday Sur. prise price Leather Hand Bags These are a good quality Hand Bag for women; they have strong clasps and nre neatly’ finished; some brown and blnck worth 75c.
