The young woman is em- | ployea as bookkeeper there. The blaze, | which started in the boiler-room of the factory, destroyed property valued at | $9,500, fully insured. | The fire created widespread excite- | ment in the neighborhood. It resuited |in the turning in of several different alarms and created a heroine. When | the fire, which had evidently been smoldering for some time, burst out, | the light was seen by many. Miss Hoa- | kin, who lives acrcss tae street the factory, saw the blaze and ran di- | rectly into the seething mass of fire. | Almost overcome by smoke and her |flesh smarting under the heat, the | plucky miss groped her way through the | smoke and flames to the office. Secur- ing the treasured records, she made her exit almost as quickly as she had | entered. Her daring deed was wit- | nessed by hundreds, who had gathered at the first alarm, and the pretty girl was roundly cheered as she emerged from the burning building, the books of the firm safely under her arms. The first alarm was turned in by Po- liceman Rier.\ Almost simultaneously three other alarms were rung in from | different boxes in the neighborhood. A | second alarm brought many engines and | | the blaze was soon under control. Fire | Chief Wills' automobile broke an axle at Sixth and Howard streets while re- sponding to the alarms. The building, which was damaged to the extent of $3500, is owned by the George Healey, estate and is insured. The loss to the stock of the macaroni firm, A. B. Maynard & Co., is $6000. —_———— ASSAILANT OF GIRL GIVEN HEARING Efforts to Dismiss Case Against Machinist Come to Naught. | | | Special Dispatch to The Call. | | SANTA ROSA, Feb. 17.—Despite efforts made to square the case and | dismis: secure a 1, the preliminary examination of Willlam G.

Gilbert, Who Ae- companied the Deceased to the Resort, Arrested, but Others Are Not Molested After a desperate fight with two at- | tendants in the Hammam Baths at 11 Grant avenue and Henry S. Gilbert, a clerk in the quartermaster’s department, Sergeant Barry Smith of Company G, Twenty-second Infantry, stationed at Al- | catraz, died in a patrol wagon on the way to the Central Emergency Hospital last evening. Dr. Charles Pinkham be- | lieves that he was killed by a blow in | the' solar plexus delivered during the | row. Gilbert was arrested by Detectives Coleman and Cody and is held at the City Prison pending the result of a Coro- ner’s inquest. The two attendants are still at large and no attempt has been | made to arrest them. Smith entered the baths shortly after § o'clock with Gilbert. Both men were | very much under the influence of liquor. Smith tried to enter the section which is | reserved for women and when he was | orderea away from it became extremely | belligerent. Gilbert attempted to argue | with him and the soldier struck him over the eye. | This started a general fight in which | Thomas Argust and John Long, the bath | attendants, joined. Smith was thrown to the floor, fighting desperately, and then bhis legs were tied. Policeman Bradv was called in and the man was tal*n to a patrol wagon. the way to the hospital. Smith's face shows evidence of a fero- clous struggle. His left eye is blackened, He died on his lips aten to pulp and his whole | face is terribly contused. Why he was taken to the Central Hospital instead of ta tha ity Prison if ha were only “fighting drunk,” as the attendants de- clare, is not explained. Gilbert ran out of the baths just be- fore the policemen arrived. Shortly after the arrival of the defectives he reap- peared and after a slight resistance was | taken into custody. Gilbert was either very drunk or pre- | tended to be, as he declared that he could | not remember the dead man’s name, though he admitted that he knew him in- timately. When the detectives took him into the baths he said in a maudlin way: “I ain’t golng to let you take me in there and tle my legs.” For some ume the detectives tried to get a rational statement out of him. Fail- ing to do so thes took him to the City Prison, where his name was entered on the detinue book. The people at the baths all declare that the man was not handled any more roughly than was nec- essary to subdue him. The theory advanced by them is .that the man died of heart failure as the re- sult of the exertion. This is hardly pos- sible, as Smith was a man of splendid | physique and in fine condition. The real cause of death will not be known until | | after the autopsy. Jack Long, one of the attendants who helped to subdue Smith, said: “The two men were looking for trouble when they came in here. Smith was the | worst, but the other fellow was just as bad. The one that's dead tried to break into the office, 50 we had to do something | with him. ‘““When we tried to argue with him he | fought us. We had to knock him down and tie his legs. We didn’t use any more force than was needed. He had to be stopped, that was all there was to it. ‘When he left here he seemed be all right. Edward Armstrong, a t“;a\'eung man, helped the attendants. He left shortly after the dying man was removed from the baths.” Smith’s hands are badly bruised, show- ing that he did put up a hard fight. Gil- bert’s face shows livid traces of where some of the blows landed. In his incoherent way Gilbert explained that he and the dead man had been on a debauch and went to the baths together to sober up. Smith had paid his money for the bath and registered under the name of Miller. He could tell nothing of how the fight started or how it ended. A pass was found in the dead man's pocket. It read: ‘‘Sergeant Barry Smith has permission to leave the island at any time on any boat until this pass is re- voked. Approved by order of Major Pickering. (Signed) Edward W, Terry, First Lieutenant Twenty-second In- fantry Autopsy Surgeon O. 8. Kucich will de- termine the exact cause of Smith's death to-day.

A GRIPPE spares no class or na- tionality. The cultured and the ignorant, the aristocrat and the pauper, the masses and the classes are all subject to la grippe. None are ex- €mpt—all are liable. La grippe is well-named. The origi- nal term, la grippe, is French, but it has been shortened by the busy Amer- ican to one word, “grip.” ‘Without any Intention of doing so, a new word has been coined which de- scribes the disease exactly. The ailment clings to the patient a: tenaciously as if some terrible giant had clutched him in a fatal clasp. Men, women and children—whole towns and cities are caught in the bane- ful grip of this terrible monster. Have you the grip? Or, rather, has the grip caught you? If so, read the following letters. These testimonials will show you the quickest and best means of ridding yourself of this tenacious disease and its after-effects, Suffered Twelve Years From After- effects of La Grippe. Mr. Victor Patneaude, 228 Madison st.,, Topeka, Kan., a well-known carpen- ter and member of Knights and Ladles of Security, writes: “Twelve years ago I had a severe at- tack of la grippe and T never really re- covered my health and strength—but grew weaker every year, until I was unable to work. ‘“T'wo years ago I began using Peruna and it built up my strength so that ina couple of months I was able to go to work again. “This winter I had another attack of la grippe, but Peruna soon drove it out of my system. “My wife and I consider Peruna a household remedy.” Piaeumonia Followed La Grippe— Pe-ru-na the Remedy That Brought Relief. Mr. T. Barneco ‘West Aylmer, On- tario, Can., writes Last winter I was ill with pneu- monia after having la grippe. I took Peruna for two months, when I became quite well, and I can say that any one can be cured by it in a reasonable time and at little expense. Svery time I take a cold, I take some Peruna, which makes me well again. “1 also advised it for my daughter, who so ill with prostration that she ;:Uuld not follow her trade of dressmak- ng. bottle of Peruna made such a change in her that she has been able to follow her trade ever since. “I also induced a young lady, who was all run down and confined to the house, to take Peruna, and after taking Peruna for three months she is able to follow her trade of tailoring. “I can recommend Peruna for all such who are ill and require a tonic.” Mrs. Jane Gift, Athens, Ohio, writes: “Six years ago I had la grippe very bad. I read a testimonial of a woman who had been cured of grip by Peruna. My husband bought me a bottle of Peruna I soon able to do my work. I con- tinued using it until I was cured.” Profession Recognizes La Grippe as Epidemic Catarrh. Systemic Catarrh, the Result of La Grippe, Pe-ru-na Recelves Credit for Present Good Hzalth. Mrs. Jennie W. Gilmore, box 44, White Oak, Ind. Ter., formerly housekeeper for Indiana Reform School for Boys, writes: “Six years ago I had la grippe, which was followed by systemic catarrh. “The only thing I used was Peruna and Manalin, and I have been in better health the last three years than for years before. “I give Peruna all the credit for my good health.” Pe-ru-na—A Tonic Aiier La Grippe. Mrs. Chas. E. Wells Sr, Delaware, Ohlo, writes: fter a severe attack of la grippe, I took Peruna and found it a very good tonfe.” Judge Horatlo J. Goss, Hartwell, Ga., writes: “I had a severe spell of la grippe which left me with systemic catarrh. A friend advised me to try Peruna. The third bottle completed the cure.” “Most Effective Medicine Ever Tried for La Grippe.” Robt. L. Madison, A. M., principal of Cullowhee High School, Painter, N.

In speaking of Peruna, Mr. Madison says: “1 am h¥rdly ever without Peruna in my home. It is the most effective medi~ eine that I have ever tried for la grippe. “It also cured my wife of nasal ca- tarrh. Her condition at one time was such that she could not at night breathe through her nostrils. “In consequence, an inflamed condi- tiog of the throat was brought about, getting worse and worse, and ylelding to no remedy until Peruna was tried.” For special Instructions, address Dr. Flartman, president of the Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohlo.

VALLEJO, Feb. 17.—On excellent au- thority it was learned by The Call repre- sentative to-day that the Guggenheims, owners of the Selby Smelting Works at ‘Vallejo Junction and heads of the smelter trust, will not purchase the site one mile back of Port Costa which it has been stated they would acquire, but that instead the big plant which the trust is planning for the coast will be erected at Point San Bruno, in San Mateo County. After a careful survey of the ground it was found that there is not enough level | ground at Port Costa for the plant which the company will erect to handle the out- put of the Nevada camps. With the con- struction of the plant at San Bruno the present smelter across the bay from this city will be abandoned, owing to the trouble caused by the fumes.
