burglar and Miss Claribel Otto, the 20
--yeiir-old niece of Edward Otto, 1515
Smith Hoover street, lust night a dozen
shots were Interchanged by the burg-
lnr and the plucky young woman, and
Lid a McDonald, a 10-year-old girl, was
struck and wounded by a spent bullet.
The piHtol battle was a sensational
«no, and for nearly a bind Claribel
tJUto followed the escnplng burglar.
Bhe Bred two shots to his one In the
interchange nnd only desisted In her
pursuit nf the man when the screams
hi the wounded child liiinp to her cars.
The moment she head the cry of pain
from the little one she threw aside her
revolver and ran to the side of the
child and allowed the burglar to escape
without further check.
Kdwnrd Otto is a retired stock raiser
from Texas and his nieces, Claribel and
Ida May Otto, were raised by him on a
mammoth cattle ranch. There they
learned «o ride and shoot. Some years
ago the family removed to Los Angeles
and took up their residence in the
handsome home at 1515 South Hoover
street.
Yesterday afternoon shortly after 5
o'clock Mr. and Mrs. otto with Mint
Claribel and Ida May left the house in
an automobile driven by J. M. Sander
son, their chauffeur.
Party Returns Home
The trip they took was but a short
one, and at 6:15 o'clock .the big touring
car glided up in front of the house on
♦ lip return and Mrs. Otto and Claribel
alighted from the machine and walked
around to the rear of the house with
the intention of entering the rear door.
As Mrs. Otto walked on the porch
she noticed the form of a man hastily
pass th« window. She felt sure the
man had seen her, but did not wish him
to know he had been observed, so in a
natural lone of voice she called to her
niece Claribel to come to her as she
wished to send her on an errand.
The young woman came up on the
porch, and still talking in a natural
tone Mrs. Oil" remarked, "go over to
Mrs. Brown's and nsk her to come over
nnd play cards after dinner." Then in
a quick whisper she said, "there Is n
man In the house."
The young woman instantly realized
the iltuation and cooly remarking, "all
right," ran across the open lawn be
tween the Otto residence and that of
Mr*. 11. Brown nt 1817 Hoover street.
Entering the hack door of the Brown
residence she exclaimed, "where does
Mr. Brown keep his pistols, there la :i
burglar in our house? Don't make ,i
noise or you will alarm him." she said,
"only give me the pistols quick."
Goes After Burglar
Two big Colt's revolvers were handed
her, and only looking to see If they
were loaded she darted out of the
house.
In the meantime Mr. Otto and Ida
May had joined Mrs. Otto on the back
porch, and seeing the man in the party
the. burglar thought he was trapped.
He opened the kitchen door and
Hipped to the porch with a revolver
pointed at them.
"Throw up your hands," he yelled,
and as the man and the two women
elevated their hands nt his command
he backed down off the step and
around the house to the driveway,
He was leaving with his pistol
pointed toward the three people on the
porch when Claribel Otto came from
the rear door of the Brown residence
With a revolver in each hand.
As she saw the retreating burglar
with extended pistol she stepped from
the porch, and raising one of her pistols
took deliberate uiin and fired.
His hat raised a bit from his head
and tilted to one side. Seeing that she
had not hit him the young woman fired
a second shot, but this one flew wide.
The fellow then turned his gun on
her and fired, the bullet whittling by
her ear. i
Advances on Burglar
"Throw down your Run nr I'll kill
you," she cried, and continuing to ad
vance she (trod again. The man shifted
his revolver to his other hand and fired
a second shot and then turned and
ran with Miss Otto after him. As
he sped down the block he turned and
fired at his puisuer, and still running
after him" as fast as possible the young
woman fired again and again.
As the l->it shot was tired a little gir!.
who wag playing on the sidewalk near
Slxtec.ch street, gave a scream of pain
and fell to the sidewalk. '
As she heard the shlld'i cry Miss
Otto turned to Sanderson, the chauf
feur, who came up behind her, and
putting the pistols in his hands cried,
"Get him If you can!" and then ran
to the side of the child, which lay on
the sidewalk screaming with pain and
fright.
The little girl was Lida McDonald,
who resides at 1627 South Hoover
street and who was playing in front of
her home. Miss Otto picked her up
and hurried her into the house, where
an examination was made of her
wound,
It was found a spent ball which had

SHOOTS WIFE
AND SELF IN
JEALOUS FIT
WOMAN MAY LIVE; MAN WILL
DIE
Husband in Dying Statement Says He
Shot Girl Because She Refused
to Give Up Smoking
Opium
Benjamin C. Evans, a machinist in
the employ of the L. W. Stockwell
company, shot and fatally wounded his
wife, Isabella Evans, last night, and
then shot himself three times in an en
deavor to commit suicide.
The BbOOtlrtff occurred in Rvans' room
al the lodging house, 824 South Hill
Street Jealousy is said to be the cause
tor the deed.
EvaiiH and his wife had been sepa
rated for more than a year, and the
v.oman had been living In a resort at
458 Commercial street.
The two met frequently but quarreled
at each meeting. The man, it is said,
threatened several times to kill the
woman if she did not give up her mode
oi life and return to him.
Evans arrived at his room in the
lodging house shortly after 6 o'clock
lust night. He appeared to be In a
cheerful mood, and his landlady heard
him singing in his room.
When Mrs. Evans arrived at the
room is not known, but shortly after 10
o'clock there was the sound of a pistol
shot and then after a brief interval an
other. A woman's scream from the
loom was followed by three more shots
in rapid succession.
George Erickson, a boy living In the
house, ran to the door of the room and
burst it open. As he did so the woman,
v.ho was leaning against the wall on
the opposite side of the room, ran to
ward him crying, "I'm shot! I'm shot!
My husband has shot me!"
Husband Near Death
Lying on the floor, with his head so
near the door there was not room to
cpen it fully, was the body of Evans
with a bullet wound in the side of his
head and two others in his left breast
Blood was pouring from his mouth and
nostrils and from the wound in his
head. .\
The wojnan, who was shot through
the abdomen, was evidently in great
pain, and was assisted from the room
and then attention was paid the man.
He was breathing, but at the time was
vnable to talk because of the blood ris
ing in his throat from the punctures in
1 is lungs.
An alarm was given and in a few
minutes Patrolmen Graham and Wind
sor arrl»ed at the house and sent for
the police ambulance. Both Evans and
nig wife were taken to the receiving:
hospital.
At the hospila' Evans made a state
ment, after he had been revived, that
he had done the shooting and that he
had intended ti kill his wife and then
himself, and he was sorry he had not
I iade a good Job of it.
Asked why he had shot her, he stated
it was because he could not break her
o:' (he habit of niioklng opium.
Mrs. Evans mi Id the man had shot
her because sh< had refused to return
end live with him, and that he was
v-aious of other men.
The wounded woman was Isabella
Connell before her marriage to Evans,
(.even years ago. and her home was in
Buffalo. X. Y.
Evans and his wife came to Los An
;;i lcs several years ago. The mother
cf Evans lives In Whlttler, and she
came to the city last night and was at
the bedside of htr son before and after
the surgeoiw operated upon him for
the purpose oC removing the bullets.
The woman also was operated upon
ly Drs. Quint Wiley and Cook, and
there is a bare chance her life may be
saved. It is sail". Evans cannot recover
,;]nl his death is but a question of time.
Evans bore a good reputation with
Ms employers and the people who knew
him.

"Women shoppers should buy early

The brave man who purposes to re

night I have watched these late women
with their sprawling bundles march
into the cars and take up half . the
seats. If a poor working girl, who has
been worn to a thread by waiting on
them all day, manages to get a seat it
is a miracle.
j "If a laboring man, heavy and tired
after his day's work, does not rise to
give them his seat, supposing by any

Mr. Morse is not known to have been
in the city since Monday and may
have left town earlier.
With a judgment for $155,753 against
him, a suit for $243,321 brought against
turn by the receiver of the National
Bank of North America, his home
mortgaged and in addition attached to
cover the amount sued for, his accounts
in several banks attached, his Consoli
dated Steamship company In the hands
of receivers, his holdings of bank stock
greatly depreciated and two grand
Juries investigating his relations with
the banks, he faced a condition which
might have appalled any man.
National Bank Examiner Charles A
Hanna, who is in charge of the Na
tional Bank of North America an
nounced that he was informed that
Mr. Morse had probably gone to Europe
or fad departed elsewhere for "an in
definite period."
Wife Is Silent
Mrs. Morse was at her home in thin
city, but no information could be ob
tained from her.
-Albert 8., Boardman, attorney 7> for
Morse, was , quoted | today |as "..; Haying
that Morse sailed for Europe Saturday
for a three weeks' rest, not anticipating
such a crisis in his affairs. '
The action brought by, Bank Exam
iner Hanna for $243,321 was to recover
the amount of loans alleged to have'
been made by the National ■ Bank lof ;
North America last fall, as security for
which Morse gave his note.
The bank went into the hands of a
receiver two weeks ago. R. A. C. Smith
yesterday secured a Judgment for $165,
--753 against Morse to cover the value
of 00 shares of bank stock which
Morse had sold to Smith, with' the
agreement that he would pay $150,000
for it whenever Smith wanted to re
turn it. .
since Morse's elimination from the
New York banking situation he has
transacted most of his business at his
Fifth avenue residence.
Has Been Before Jury
Within the past ten days he has
been before the county grand jury sev
eril times to testify concerning certain
assets of the Providence Savings Life
Assurance society, which were deposit
ed with banks with which he was con
nected. The federal grand jury has
been Investigating the conduct of the
banks.
That Morse was greatly disturbed by
the various moves against him is In
dicated by the statement of Thomas E.
Wing, attorney for the receiver of the
National Bank of North America, who
made affidavit that Morse said to him,
with great agitation, that he "watched
his securities drop far below par," and
had kept almost all of his accounts
margined and good, but that he "could
not stand it forever, and did not know
vii.it he would do."
Prior to the collapse of the various
enterprises in which he was engaged
Morse's fortune was estimated as high '
as $^0,000,000. 1
At Steamship Office
At the office of the Consolidated
Steamship company it was stated that
.Morse was at that office last Friday.
He has not been seen since, and it was
understood last week that it was Ms
intention to leave the city.
Albert B. Boardman, counsel for
Morse, was at tile district attorney's
office today in connection with certain
grand jury proceedings. It was not
known whether his presence mis in
relation to the grand jury's investiga
tion of banking methods as disclosed
by the October panic.
Before going before the grand jury
Boardman said he supposed he was
called to tell the grand Jury what he
knew about the sale by Morse of a
large block of stock of the National
Bank of North America. Former Judge
Morgan J. O'Brien, a law partner of
Boardman, also was summoned before
the grand jury.
Result of Conference
Attorney Boardman's action In call
ing his client followed an hour's con
ference with Mr. Stimson, who was in
charge of tho investigation before Urn
federal grand jury of the recent con
duct of certain national hanks.
Mr. Boardman had been subpoenaed
to appear before the grand jury, sup
posedly, he said, to tell what he knew
of Morse's connection with <-ertaln
banking instiutlons. The Jury did not,
however, reach Boardman's testimony
and sent word for him to return tomor
row. In the meantime Boardman had
been closeted witty the federal district
attorney. As he left the federal build
ing Mr. Boardman was asked whether
he had said that, he could produce
Mor»e should he tonight be wanted.
"No," he replied, "but at the request
of United States Attorney Stims'
have cabled Mr. Morse at Liverpool to
come back, and I have reamwi v
